Hi guys,
I am making this thread just calm down my frustration.
My problem with tyre physics is the heat. I have never drifted a 200+ bhp car, but I have drifted a 150 bhp rear wheel drive car on ice and snow.
In LFS, seems to me, that when tyres are above 100 degrees Celsius hot, they lose completely all of traction, exactly like driving a car on ice (with no studs) and worse! I strongly believe that in real life even 140 degree Celsius hot tyres on tarmac will have way more traction than cars in LFS at that kind of temperatures.
Why I am touching this topic? I just hate, that now in regular S2 servers, all the guys burn their tyres until they are un-drivable, so that they smoked while drifting, and only then head out on track. I have a DFP wheel and lets be honest, it is not the best wheel for drifting by any means, and with hot tyres it is almost impossible to drift with 720 degree setup. The wheel just can not keep up with the car. Me, personally, even when I really want to drift, it is not fun anymore, because when drifting with cold tyres, you are way way faster than anyone else out there.
I was just wondering.. Is that really how it should be?
I want to know your opinion on this, probably some of you will have experience in this topic.
I apologize if such topic has been already.
