That would be awesome
I think I might understand where this comes from. You need to drive the slick tire really wild to get the performance out of it. At Nürburgring in S1 the wilder I tossed the car into the corner the quicker I got. Going thru the corner at 15° slide slip angle requires some chill and getting there to do it consistently in a race needs practice. With the wet tire on the rear axis the car feels much more stable and does not need that high side slip angles. It would be understandable that someone that doesn't want to drive the car wild is instantly and significantly quicker with it.As most of you know, i am on the slower side of things. So with slicks i was doing 1:32s after some laps (never driven the combo before). When i switched to wets just to play around, i gained the said 1.5 - 2 seconds.
The last race was devastating already, as I was so far off the leaders (3-4 seconds was normal gap for me in the last seasons). Seeing FuBii doing 1:25s in his posted video just gives me a hint that I am either driving the car totally wrong, or there is some secret pace switch in the setup I didn't find yet.
If you lock the Rear axis the spining around is violent and fast, sure you have no chance to catch. Move the brake balance forward 56 or 57% to be save.
wow....and I was criticised for exploits last season. That is....a little frustrating to hear to say the least.
It might be worth checking that you're not actually suffering from understeer rather than oversteer. The Radical guide was posted somewhere in this season threads and it does a good job of explaining this. Basically you apply too much wheel input due to understeer, right up to the point where grip gives way and you suddenly get snap oversteer. It's worth using that guide to assess whether you are trying to adjust setup for the right problem. If you are pushing to mitigate oversteer more and more, you might actually be exacerbating the problem.
Did you set the correct date for the session ? (2nd august) I tested the wets and it was a big nope, even slicks that are much much harder overheatAs most of you know, i am on the slower side of things.

Yeah it was all set correctly. I am always gentle with a car with regard to tire wear and heat. That's why I'm running in midfield to back, as I just don't feel comfortable riding on the edge lap after lap. My skills are not that developed, and I rather keep it slow and steady than binning it in lap 1
Or ECU -->10 or more coast lock on the diff?
The ECU setting will help but if I remember correctly at low values it reduces negative torque. Higher cost lock will give you understeer int othe corner from the rear axis but that doesn't help with the snap oversteer because of braking I think.
Just to clarify things, in daytona wets were just as fast as slicks but needed different management : you needed to push the car in slicks to keep heat in them and nurse the wets to prevent them from overheating. There's no "exploit" i's just buggy and dumb because it is obviously not the way wets should work that's why we call them "hypersofts". I reported this to Manu after the race because it s just dumb and that we should set the in game date to summer to prevent the wets from working. We also openly talked about it during practice sessions. No one up the grid uses wets and there is no magic trick, the car is tricky to setup because because you need the aero to be spot on and that takes some hard practice work which is fun imo. The temperature is the most critical factor with these radicals and the best lap times are found when the tyres are in their sweet spot.
I can't participate this round. Too much going on in real life at the moment.
