    Is this right? I just feel the lack of any grip at all, especially for the Ginettas , on wet tracks - it cannot surely be realistic? You even slide all over when going around a tight corner at 40mph. Thats not right. I dont slide in my real car. And my car's tyres are in a lot worse condition than racing car wet tyres!

    I feel the tyres in this game could do with a bit more grip overall. I think they are a bit too slidey to be realistic, especially in the wet.

    I "slide" along the same spot every morning in the wet. It's a traffic light crossing turn to the left. Loss of grip in the wet s not speed dependent but torque sensitive. 110hp and 200nm are well enough to lose grip at slow speeds. Wider tires on light cars are not helpfull neither in wet conditions, and the "wet" tires for racecars do more ore less resemble softer road tyres.

    It's enough, that your car gets unsettled a bit actually. (Not saying everything is alright in each occasion, but we have to set things in relation here)
    Watch Time Stamp 6:25, Ginetta G40, the car has plenty of spin capabilities:



    They're tiptoeing this relatively tame car around the wet track like crazy.
