Aleksandr, i see you try to push this to the limit (make a perfection drifting tyre simulation) but my point is to make something like legal "TempLock" in drift type servers, so drifters can use more powerful cars and go from car lots in to the fast tracks. I agree, that there are so much factors to study and make real drift tyre simulation, but also i think this is time consuming and loooong process of development.

4, 5 laps until tyre lost grip (1mm or less, also overheat).

In the real life competition runs we heat tyres before start (3-4 donunts second gear full throttle at the redline). If you heat the tyre right you feel how good car accelerates after initiation at full lock all the way to the finish.

Mean time in LFS (you can see in my video) - started with cold tyres and the grip is medium. First and second corner tyres heats up and grip is good, car pulls away from corner and gathering speed. Entering the last corner tyres are overheated, no grip, lost speed, rear end of the car is very slippy (in real life i can run in the same track 4 runs with same tyres, while in LFS 0.5 run). Me and my team mate (real life drifter) tryed lots of things to make our LFS as realistic as possible to our cars and find that 63 degrees in rear tyres with TempLock is a perfect thing. You can accelerate fast, make an agressive full lock entry and feel how tyres grip and car pulls away from the wall and speeds up. We use real life parameters in LFS cars (possitive rear camber, low rear tyre pressure and etc). Also in LFS we use SUPER tyres. NORMAL tyres is better to hold up temperature longer (so only these tyres are using in online servers) but they dont have that real life semi slick tyre feeling.

Overall i think tyre temperature locking / expanding in this case will fix a lot. You can try to set up TempLock at 63 degrees, 225/R17 SUPER tyres, 1bar, 500HP and you can feel how good it is.

Also, i think that i answered your last question already Smile

Sorry for bad English but i hope that this discusion will lead somwhere Smile)
Realistic drifting tyre wear

Hello LFS community,

Have a question about tyre wear in LFS. Maybe in the drifting servers it can be more realistic?

Here is why:

In real life i have BMW e30 M50B25 turbo / 500HP / E39TDS ZF transmision / Diff ratio 2.65
In the local track i tested two different tyres (new pairs):
1. Westlake RS semislick 225/45 r17 and made 5 laps with full throttle
2. Triangle Sportex summer tyres 225/45 r17 and made 4 laps full throttle

Video of the action: https://youtu.be/MoDVu86Sn2A

Now, i made the same track (as realistic as i can using googlemaps), also made almost same e30 in LFS (same gearbox ratios, same diff ratio ant etc.). In LFS i can only do half a lap with normal grip. Tyres instantly overheats and the second part of the track grip is garbage.

Video of the LFS run: https://youtu.be/Muc8OLdTUdE

Here is why everybody trying to use tyrehacks.

I`m driftig in real life 7 years and playing LFS almost 10 years and i and my team mate found it more suitable for drift training than Asseto Corsa, becouse:
- It has track layout configurator
- It has more realistic driving with cheaper racing wheels
- It dont need expencive PC
- Now, it has cars editor.

One thing for the perfection is realistic drifting tyrewear. LFS has amaizing tracks, fast tracks and it is sad that you only can run lowpowered cars in small slow tracks becouse of tyres. I think after this it would be increase of drift servers and players.
