Classic Mode - 2019 Tyre Model Restored

ok, obrigado pelo seu esforco, logo vc recebera o feedbacks.

Honestly, I don't saw any changes. Heating? Maybe. Tyre wear, same

Hi Jack,

What do you mean? Have you gone back to the old system, where the tyres would heat up on the straights and cool down during the race? Because in my opinion, of all the changes introduced since December, that was the only one that was right and actually worked. Reading the forum and talking to other drivers, I get the impression that everyone would like to see the bugs fixed before any further changes are introduced. W2W has been a disaster both in terms of functionality and visual effect (three cars racing side by side for entire laps, randomly getting in each other’s way!!). The game is losing managers every day; continuing to change everything without a clear vision (or so it seems to many of us) isn’t helping to improve things. We’re asking you to fix what we have actualy and then, if necessary, introduce new features.
P.S.: I’ve just raced with the new tyre management system: a complete disaster... everyone at push level 5 to avoid icy tyres! 

Hi Jack, does this mean the 50% cliff for tyre wear which came in in 2022 is also gone?

After race in Italy i can confirm no changes are done to classic mode 

I definitely would prefer the tyre cliff gone. The best race I remember without refueling was back in 2022 at Catalunya where one manager pitted very early and ran 2 mediums stints to the finish. He did a brilliant job to undercut and hold on to the other leaders. Removing the cliff removes a cap on stint length so adds more strategic variety. A plus in my opinion.

I want you to stop making changes every 5 minutes, and leave this as additional option for classic mode, or better don't touch or change anything 

Having just done a race, they tyre heating was terrible compared to what it was since the previous update. I would abolsutely rather have that. Wear is a non-factor so long as the tyre cliff exists.

Possibly. I think that the old tyre model for temperature is inferior/incorrect though. Tyre temperature is generated by putting loads through the tyres in the corners. The change to this was a massive improvement, so it's a shame to go back to the old model.

The way temps worked with generating in the corners and cooling on the straights was far better than the inverse.

I find it completely unnatural to have to set the push level to 1 every time I come out of a corner. The 2026 model, as well as being more realistic, has made it much more enjoyable to follow the race and assess strategies based on what your rivals are doing. Before that change, you’d play by just watching the push level bar, and there were oddities like Monza where you’d spend almost the entire lap on push level 1, Hungary in winter where it was impossible to get the tyres up to temperature, or other nonsensical races at Monaco and Istanbul.
The new model has definitely improved the game; I think it’s the only thing the community has reacted positively to, and even the most sceptical have appreciated it.

I think if no one supports the 2019 tyre heating model if is best to have the 2026 tyre heating model with the 2019 racing in classic mode. I'm still an advocate of no tyre cliff as it was in 2019, but obviously sorting teething issues is more important than introducing new features.

I think the poll wasn’t very visible; very few people voted. Perhaps not everyone is clear on the differences between the two models, which is why so few people voted. I don’t think I know all the differences myself.

Certainly, everyone appreciated the cooling-off period on the straights; this allows you to follow the race at a more relaxed pace and results in a much more realistic simulation.
