svensenk86 133 Posted July 26 Hey guys,following situation. Heavy rain entire race,all guys are on full wets. I hold my position easy,clear race. Few laps before the end of the race it starts to dry up,normally Int weather but 3 laps before race end no one changes. From now on i am the only dude in the grid who seems to have no grip at all anymore. The AI is still driving perfect. What do i have to adjust in that moment??? Crazy how much time i have lost during the last 3 laps -.- i was so angry because the AI drove for sure without issues and my perfect race was ruined...

USPBauer24 82 Posted July 26 How long was the race? Did you pit? What fuel were you using? Was the track far too dry for wets at the end? Any assists? How competent is your driving? What difficulty was the AI? What track was it? Did you touch the wet kerbs? Were your tyres worn? There are so many variables that it is difficult to answer your question. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been in a similar situation during the middle of a race, but when scrolling through the MFD to see the tyre temperatures I saw I was overheating my tyres a lot. When they overheat and you're asking Jeff about the weather (and says he's not sure if it's wets or inters) I think that's a good sign to switch to inters. I did this and found I was able to catch up and maintain pace with the AI who were on wets for another 2 laps before also pitting. However in your case with 3 laps to go I probably wouldn't pit but just take care with braking and accelerating. What was your tyre wear and temperatures like? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marioho 686 Posted July 26 Just an unsolicited tip, but if you find yourself in need to manage temperatures in a scenario like this, lift and coast. Braking heats the tyres a lot; by lifting and coasting a bit you reduce the amount of braking you need to do to slow the car down. It is better to do a tad slower laps than to blow any advantage you have by keeping the tyres too hot. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure mate,it was 50% in Silverstone, AI 90,abs on,traction middle,gears auto I am on it since Grand Prix 2,so i guess quite good driver. It was absolutely time to switch to inters,track was drying,but just 3 laps left i stayed on total wet,the AI as well, tyres were used 34% so still ok. Fuel mix standard. Problem was i had no grip at all, the AI seems not bothering for this "new" conditions on the track even with full wets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
