From the videos I’ve watched, the new tyre model which emphasises improved grip when warm and less grip on cold tyres etc. looks like it’s converging with iracing which has been moving towards a similar model from the opposite direction (imo).
This is interesting to me as I think it shows that we’re getting closer to a more universal handling model. Which most sims, I think, will logically move towards over time.
Your description of the Porsche @GassyHaggis really matches my opinion of the iracing version, for example. But before this patch they were like chalk and cheese. The new iracing version is so much fun to drive.
It’s clearly not there yet, but I’m quite excited by what I’ve seen. I may even think about getting started at simracing gp if this handles the way I think it will.
