#Tyre Deg Is Spectacularly Wrong

The game gets F1 tyres so wrong it is untrue....

Third year in a row and the game still gets one of the most important aspects of F1 spectacularly wrong. I am being more critical in this post because we are three years in and it is still wrong.

Drivers can go 2 seconds quicker at the end of their stint on 20% tyres than they were on 100% tyres... Yes the fuel is less but just watch F1, tyre deg is far more impactive than fuel reduction

The cars often go quicker as the stint goes on, it is as if tyre degredation doesn't exist in the code for the game.

There are other issues, I will post on them when I get time but the tyres are by far the biggest issue with this game.

Most notably for me is, that on tracks with low tyre wear, your second lap on your used tyre will be always quicker in qualifying than with a brand new one, which doesn’t make any sense at all.
Was like that since the game was first released

Thats just how I justify it

i had a 90% wet tire, against 34% and was not able to pass 😵

You can’t only take tires into consideration, car performance, engine / tire modes, DRS, driver v driver performance, wet weather performance. There are so many factors included in a race. So yea 34% tires shouldn’t be able to pass but it’s also so much more than that

Tyre condition is the biggest factor affecting pace...

Yes there is car performance, fuel load, driver and many other factors

BUT

There is no way that during the same stint, same driver same conditions, a car can go 2 seconds quicker with 50% tyres than they were doing with 100% tyres... Yes they have less fuel but tyre Deg affects pace far more than fuel reduction.

The biggest issue with this tyre Deg issue is it makes pit strategies basically irrelevant in the game

It is so frustrating because I have been saying this since F1Man 22 but nothing has been fixed... It would make the game so so much better and more rewarding if you get strategy right
