Re: TC level cap

@ScarDuck14 can you elaborate a bit?

Carass and surface, what do you mean, if you use this setting you are slower?

With auto gears you are way slower? Are you sure? I was watching some youtube videos where they tested how much you are slower with assists and with manual or auto gears the difference was the least.

@TigerAlen410 ofcourse i can. However I may not make much sense whilst elaborating 😂
The ai now have their tyre temps set to 92 degrees. Optimal temps. Human players if having the temp settings to carcass and surface. Means you have to manage your tyre temps to stop them from overheating or being to hot and cold in wet races. If you turn off carcass temps you don’t have to worry so especially on some tracks. you can munch better compete with the ai. As your pretty much on a level playing field.

As for manual gears.. using higher gears such as 4th in 2nd gear corners is now the meta… auto gears still select 2nd gear for 2nd gear corners.

Using higher gears give you better traction accelerating out off slow to mid corners… more traction you have the lessens the amount and length off time full tc is active. TC reduces masses off power to the wheels which slows you down massively.

@ScarDuck14 Interesting, I will try manual gears and use higher gears to see how it works in terms of time

Manual gears also makes it much easier to drive without TC, again by being able to use higher gears/short shift. I also think it's far more satisfying and immersive using manual gears. I just feel far more involved in the driving process.
