    Can somebody help me with a trend that has started since season 8 in GTS.
    Prior to this time Tyres and Fuel were never higher than 2 by my memory.
    We have moved toward FIA unrealistic tyre wear rates that provide strategy in a 15-20min race.
    Personally I enjoy a slower wearing tyre where I can get into rhythm in a 45min race, and 1 pit stop is more than enough as it was in almost all seasons before season 8. I have been so sick of pitting every 10-15mins in all ROOZ races lately.
    Why is this so?

    I had great fun last night in the MX5. The SH and SS were the pick for me. Even though the RH made it feel like a race car the driving was much easier. It was easy to just floor it coming out of corners rather than easing on the throttle with the SH and SS, having said that I still managed to find walls and gravel with these tyres!

    Big sloppy kisses go a long way too

    and it ain’t an easy division that’s for sure. The whole division is very fast. Any mistake is jumped on. Pat, incey and
    Buster are very fast that’s for sure. Setting a fast lap is totally different to winning a full race. Big respect to all members of div3. Very clean, sportsman like without question.

    Because pit lane transit times are unrealistically fast. Perfect example: Bathurst S11, a tyre stop cost 3.5sec total, when in reality it would be 40-45sec. You have to balance wear rates to make them fit with transit times.

    Sitting in the pits for 40-45 secs compared to 3.5 secs for a tyre stop is irrelevant to tactics, it is just sitting longer in the pits and not driving. I am happy with the unrealistic quick tyre changes.
    We should be aiming for realistic tyre wear rates, not realistic pitting, which is impossible when you can fly in there at 250kh at some tracks.
    Using Bathurst as an example, tyres last roughly 25 - 45 mins.
    So our tyres should last roughly 25 - 45 mins there.

    Edit: S11 Bathurst was the sprint round. I have never had to pit in a sprint round before. Surely the sprint rounds should be free of pitting.

    If you want realism... stop playing GT Sport. o_O:laugh:

    No, it's very relevant. In reality it's acceptable for tyres in many categories to lose 2-3sec/lap in performance before warranting a pit stop. If you lose that much time running for 25-45min, you'd be an idiot to stay out and not pit as frequently as you can maintain overlap on the lap pace. It's basic math. If we continue using the Bathurst example - 3.5sec, which was total time lost across in and out lap, not stationary time only - you only need 7 laps of running at 0.5sec a lap faster than you previously were to account for the stop. 0.5sec is nothing... most tyres can go through that in the first heat cycle. There's no point running long tyre life when the game is designed around pit stops not being so costly.

    Please understand that I'm not disagreeing with your opinion - I too would prefer less stops - but you're asking for a dynamic that the game isn't designed to support. You're asking for chocolate milk from the cows teat. :roflmao:

    Apex where were u in the other chat :p way I see it is certain ppl want higher wear and your voice/opinion doesn't matter.

    Though I 100% agree with you :thumbsup:
