Hello guys,
I would like to share my findings regarding slick tires and drift.
I'm playing around with mod editor. My goal is to achieve longer drift time or/and faster drift car (by faster I mean the car that slides with higher speed).
I found out, which is for all of You probably obvious, that sweet spot for a sport/normal tires is around 300HP on <1000kg car. Adding more power doesn't make a car faster (I tried clocked myself on the same track achievieng 39.xx lap each time - 300, 600, 900, 1200HP cars with 16-18inch wheels in high/low profile tires).
Then I tried to explore the possibilites of slick tires. They're burned after two corners in any given scenarios, but with the setup of rear wheels at 315/35 - 19" and 375 kPa and tires blown the car behaves like normal and it allows me to slide for almost 7 laps (4 laps without time loss). Also - a car with 10000HP, 890KG weight and this tires runs a full four drift laps at the same time - 34.xx. Using mods like saliva i achieved 39.xx on 1st lap, 41.xx 2nd, 45.xx 3rd and then tires blown). Burned slick gives 5seconds faster lap time than first lap on normal tires, 7 seconds faster than second, 11 seconds faster than third lap.
The only main difference is You have to use left foot brake instead of handbrake.
Here's the footage as a proof:

And also I did not do anything with the front tires - so there is a space for a better setup which might give more handling/drifting time
I'm using mouse as a steering wheel, so it's quite messy ride
