You misinterperet. The current model you're all driving around on is an empirically based model that Scawen invented, perhaps similar to Pacejka (I don't know the details). I don't know if this is the same basic model that Scawen has been tweaking since 2002, or if he's ever started over.
The first new tyre model Scawen wrote was based on brush model theory. That model never made public as, although better in some areas, went very wrong when taken outside the areas covered by the assumptions and simplifications needed to make it work. So Scawen started a second new tyre model, based more on tread model theory, however it's ended up too slow for real time use in game, so there's now a third new tyre model, that aims to give results similar to the tread model, yet be sufficiently simpler to run in real time. That's no easy challenge.
You're welcome. Thankfully, you're not the only one who thinks this. Scawen is in agreement also. We'll see what the future brings.
Check the date of my data. From before rev-limiters.
Broken record alert:
Webserver fallen over again?
I'm sure cPanel was working very recently, now I'm back to my old friend "Cannot read license file"...
No cPanel access here either (cannot read licence file). Noticed it down a little while ago, has it really been down all this time?
The GIF format was created in 1989 and the animation extension was added by Netscape in 1996, thus pre-dating your PC by 3 years. So it should have no problems.
Ooh, I get two new nicknames. I should be honoured.
Thanks for the write up though, it was nice to read.
It works, yay! If only a trial licence, which will no doubt expire soon?
Up to 29 hours now. Is this likely to be resolved over the weekend? I'm putting out job applications with a link to a web portfolio that I'm making, it would be nice if come Monday morning I had actually created the subdomain I'm linking to.
Well the cars look like toy cars with almost no inertia. Which is exactly what they are, so I'd say that's good.
If they looked anything like regular cars in motion there be a real problem!Thanks for letting me know you're on the case.
cPanel is bust again (Cannot read license file).
Sorry, didn't notice this reply, should really subscribe to this thread.
If you post more specific details of the problem they I may be able to assist.

Some more information about what's in your pack would be useful.
Don't let iRacing hear you say that.
Agreed. Real engines make music, not noise.
I can't believe I'm going to dignify this post with a response but since I'm anally retentive...
Truck engines can be toast at half that rate.

If there is an engaged clutch between the engine and gearbox (i.e. in a manual transmission, or auto with lock up), then the engine will continue to reciprocate faster and faster. A rev limiter may ensure a lack of fuel but it won't stop valve float (which even without combustion will still have an effect on engine braking), or your con rods from snapping from the increased stress due to the ever faster moving pistons applying larger forces to them. I don't see heat being a problem. If you kept the rpm very high and the conrods didn't break, then there is the possibility of the the valve springs fatiguing and failing, or without enough bounce, colliding with the pistons.
With just a torque converter, there is no direct connection between the engine and wheels, but the fluid will only allow so much slip, so you'll get the same problem, only it'll happen at a slightly (10%?) higher speed.

Thanks for keeping us posted. You do seem to get a lot of hardware failures though?
Papa, all of my sites and emails are currently down (30 hours of downtime now!). I am waiting on my host to fix this.
Thanks for the update.
I agree, while it's excellent to know Franky's on the case, if it's been this long it's clearly a non trivial issue, it would be nice to have a bit of an update before too much longer.
Web servers have fallen over again.
