    I just recently had a spin during a race driving the BMW LMDH at Silverstone.

    After that, all tyres went "red" temps in the gauge, the car became undrivable, and there was nothing I could do to fix it. I basically had to pit for tyres, although they were not wore out, just too hot.

    It doesn't seem realistic and I never experienced it with other cars in the sim.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Perfectly normal phenomena. To cooldown the tyres again you've to drive a tad slower and turn up TC to it's highest position. Also keep in mind you tyres could been burned out and lost a lot of performance, so a pit for fresh tyres would been desirable as well.

    Well, I will test it again when possible to see if the TC helps. I did change pace, and it wasn't enough.

    But pitting for tyres when the gauge doesn't show that they have been worn out doesn't seem to make sense.

    depending on the nature and distance of the spin and if you tried to arrest the spin with brakes fully engaged.
    You may well have flat spotted some or all tyres .
