Anyone else getting too much tire punctures in Finland?

[SnelleEddie 0]

This is happening to me way too often to be considered realistic, let alone fun.

Almost every time I drive a car in Finland, I get a puncture after a medium/big jump or after hitting a tree or rock at medium speed. Just minutes ago I hit a big jump at finland and got a tire puncture on the front right AND rear left on impact.

Please Codemasters, have a word with the tire company already!

Yea it's been mentioned quite a lot. It's a pain in the arse.

It's not a tire puncture, it's a balloon puncture.

Judging by the jumps they even filled them with helium :P

Coated them with material that makes them melt when hitting a snow bank -_-

I get magic punctures, if I crash, the puncture occurs at the opposite corner to the impact!

In this week event, I think I got a puntuce in 5 out of 6 stages. The flying cars plus wrong Spanish pacenotes it's almost unplayable.

I do hope it is being looked into after all those mentions. Same for the gravity (or lack thereof).

Same here. Group B in Finland is unplayable with these chinese condoms instead  rally tyres

I know this is a joke, but they do.

I still haven't got a puncture from a jump, weird how some of you manage to get them all the time. Have gotten some when I get a really horrible landing in a ditch, but that's OK in my book.

Sorry to ruin a good story but..

Ah. I don't really follow restrictions much. Or at all really. Anyways some people do fill tires with hydrogen or helium, supposed to make it more fuel efficient or something by not heating up as much.

I got tired of spanish notes. I´m playing with game in english since a while and its much better (once you get used to)

Notes are shorter and more accurate. And, of course, Finland is doable with english notes.

I think I've had about two so far. But I also don't take the jumps full on. Had one before shortly after launch, on my first big jump in Wales. Think that's it so far.

I don't enjoy Finland much, too broken for my liking. It's good fun at moments--until I'm flying over the forest again.

Ah. I don't really follow restrictions much. Or at all really. Anyways some people do fill tires with hydrogen or helium, supposed to make it more fuel efficient or something by not heating up as much.

Nitrogen. Nitrogen is used because it's a more stable and inert gas than air, which is a mix of nitrogen, oxygen and argon with tiny amounts of a dozen other gasses.
In terms of racing, it means less temperature variety between cold and hot tyres, so less variance in tyre pressure.

Helium would simply escape through the tyre in pretty short order and Hydrogen... well, there are a lot of very good reasons why you wouldn't fill tyres with that!

To be honest though, it's only really aircraft tyres that significantly benefit from being filled with nitrogen because it's more stable and those tyres have to withstand hundreds of thousands of pounds travelling at 160+ mph. They only last a couple of hundred flights before needing to be replaced, so a matter of months.
SR-71 Blackbird tyres weren't just filled with nitrogen, but were impregnated with aluminium due to the high temperatures endured, giving them a silver sheen.

Right, thank you. I could see hydrogen making it more exciting. Anyways, nitrogen is lighter than oxygen, and therefore basic air.
That's what I get for making posts too late, or alternatively too early. I'm not sure I'm convinced about helium seeping through, but I suppose it's possible.

It is because helium 1) is a noble gas and thus remains a single atom 2) has the smallest atoms of the noble gasses. This makes it able to permeate materials quicker than the gasses that make up most of the air (Nitrogen and Oxygen) which are molecules comprised of two atoms.
Rubber is permeable, and the small size of helium allows diffusion to happen quicker thru it than the gasses that make up air.

I guess that explains a lot. Hope the Codies are reading this.

Yeah, I suppose. Ever since I left school and stopped having to tutor all the... dumber people in my class, I haven't had much to think about so I think my IQ and previous knowledge database is dropping. Time to start saving for college.

Thanks for the vid, berto. Your jump was long but not as high as mine, and you still managed to get a puncture. Each time I start a stage in Finland, there seems to be at least a 50% chance of getting a tire puncture. It's downright ridiculous.

Strangely similar behaviour to what we can witness in the game xD

must have occurred in Finland 
:joy:
