does it matter which link we download as there are a hell of a lot of them?

No, doesn't matter, just mirrors due to large number of downloads experienced. Very large file though but well worth it..

Been enjoying racing 30 AI around Oulton in the GT's once you get AI percentage right its fantastic fun. Mixed in URD and Apex cars as well for and its awesome fun.

First mod I've found where tire wear correlate correctly with rears

First mod I've found where tire wear correlate correctly with rears What does this mean? If you use the loud pedal too much the rears wear quicker. Isn't this standard in every mod?  |

I've always found the rears can last all night yet fronts don't (driving style and understeer?? ) this mod like so many GT and rear wheel drive touring cars eat the rears . Something I've personally found lacking in rf2

Yeh a bit of both. I've found most of the time it's a byproduct of people not running 900* rotation. They have such a pointy (responsive) car that they search the car setup for balance instead of their hardware configuration. Often resulting in an excessively understeering car producing too much front wear and almost no rear wear. It's not actually wear but heat which becomes wear. The wear rates are consistent, but as you can see by everyones driving style they put too much into the outside tyre and understeer through corners. Counter productive driving. It feels fast because you're on the edge, but you're on the edge in the wrong places. If your car is on the edge at the apex you've got big problems. The apex should be the balance point of the corner, it's where the first extreme (deceleration) ends, and the next extreme (acceleration) begins. If either of those are beginning at maxed out performance you're already behind the eight ball.

Yet its strange that driving them the same style with this mod ,say , compared to URD . that is with my own adjusted sets, that they wear differently.My sets by the way are quick with URD and tires (fronts)seem to outlast many others here.

Strongly advise familiarising yourself with the configuration files to learn the limits of the tyre. They have very specific high, low and optimal temps with a multiplier factor for wear and grip. Once you know those exact numbers there's almost no excuse for having imbalanced wear or excessive temps. If you drive within the tyres operating window you'll be consistently fast with few errors.
Some leagues frown upon this, but the way I see it, this data is always provided to teams in real motorsport for safety. Everyone knows the exact predicted/tested limits of a tyre before they hit the track. Seems kinda dumb we suggest everyone should feel it out on their own.

Dead right, thrash those tyres and you can really notice the lack of grip once they heat up. Car Stat is a good program to show the data your talking about Car Stat 2 for rFactor 2 - ISI Forum LINK |
