What are the best tyre temps in GPL.Does locking up wheels hurt the tyres?.Any cures for tail happy cars.I have an L plate. Thanks Joe.
Tyre temps: 150 to 250 (F) is OK. Peak grip at 200... Locking wheels don't produce flat spots. The tires were so hard that they didn't flatspot. You don't gain any grip by doing that, on the contrary. Try not to lock them up. If you're good, you can get the tires to rotate 20-30% slower than the surface without locking them up. Tail happy cars? Don't cure it, learn how to drive a tail happy car, that is the only way you're going to be fast in GPL. And be prepared to keep that L plate on for a long time. This game has a much steeper learning curve than anything you have tried earlier... ---Asgeir--- > What are the best tyre temps in GPL.Does locking up wheels hurt the > tyres?.Any cures for tail happy cars.I have an L plate. > Thanks > Joe.
