Wet Track on dry tires

[Drunkenmonkey]

Hello

just had a race when i was a brawn and overtook Hamilton when it was hammering it down with hamilton on wets and me on dry's.

think this might need sorting as when it rains i can just stay on drys all race

using 1.04 also


thanks

Personally when the CPU racers head into the pits for Wet tyres after the rain hits I try to gain some time by staying out longer on the dry tyres. I've found that after a lap or 2 the car will lose a lot of grip and can no longer take most corners with any sort of speed.

Yeah this is my experience too, I usually stay out for 2 laps if I can or 1 lap if I'm at risk of damaging the car. It gives you a big advantage in a short race if you can make it to the end, but if you're running a long race you don't really gain too much. It's quite realistic really, the track seems to take a while to get wet. I use this tactic on all F1 games.

I have noticed the same thing. It takes a couple of laps until the water starts to really affect handling. But when it does...watch out!
