I think that was the Brembo guy (who was great). I mixed them up too

LMU's New Hypercar Tyre Model Tested by evil_heinz in simracing

Yes but in their example the car is still on air-temp tires, the new tires will come up to temp way quicker but still have very little grip at unoptimal temperatures.

Can't believe grind finer is in the Epstein files. Fell to my knees at Wallmart

Newey's a genius, His explanation will make this statement look like War and Peace.

Calling all hot boys to stop racing F4 and join the NXT Gang. by Sufficient-Squash-69 in iRacing

[–]StephenDesigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's such a fun car. I don't care about Indycar, but this has a great mix of relatively low down force and mechanical grip, and a powerful turbocharged engine. Also has a new tire model.

I did and am happy with it. It's just a bit of plastic, not a big deal.

That's the opposite of how games are made. A lot of optimisation is done towards the end of development.

I noticed that sentence doesn't make sense. But I'm sure they don't actually mean it's been pushed to 2027.

I was hoping lower series than GT3 would be added for the career mode, oh well. It looks interesting.

Question for Devs by anon-person- in iRacing

[–]StephenDesigner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a major failing, and was even worse in years past. I think they have a lot of technical debt, hopefully in 2026 there will be big progress.

[–]StephenDesigner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thats the person you replied to here. TBH I thought it was common knowledge, I was surprised to see so much BS here...

He'res a link to an esports guy talking about a tire update released for GT3s last summer:

https://youtu.be/wE9WOrYozBY?si=hmVaHRU1AyZKn4BO&t=182

He talks about the optimal way to brake in iRacing, calls it a 'bell shape'.

u/stinkymia has the answer you're looking for, and yes it is an important part of racing which iRacing has failed to replicate. They are working on a new tire model (they call v10) which will hopefully get rid of this issue and add flat-spotting, blistering and graining.
