Re: tyre grip/slip physics and snap loss/regain of grip

@JG-skinny-racer I agree with you across the board. It's definitely the RWD cars that feel the most affected by this. Like moemoekyuuun wrote above, it feels like you are driving with extremely wide, state of the art racing slicks (like what you would find on a GT4 car for example.) In real life, most if not all of the RWD vehicles in the game's roster have relatively narrow wheels and tires - in some cases they are TINY by today's standards (13" wheels on some cars, with tires that might only be like 200mm wide!) Such tires have very progressive characteristics because they have such a small contact patch compared to the larger, more modern wheel sand tires, AND they have much more sidewall flex because the tires have a much higher profile.

However the cars snap into/out of slip with the characteristics of a very large contact patch from a low-profile racing slick.

Anyway that's just all my humble opinion as someone with no formal racing or rally experienced, but ~22 years of owning, driving, and modding RWD sports cars from 300 to 600hp :D
