Flat tyres and punctures?

redi · 6 June 08, 11:58

I think I have seen this in GTL, but does it actually happen? If yes, does it happen through tyre wear or only through accidents?

Also tyrewear

.
Just make donuts all the way, and in the end the tyures will be flat

Cool. Donuts in a Mini will be tough

, but we'll have a 30-lap race on Monday so hopefully we'll get some added excitement of flat tyres

Saddo that I am, I once did a test to see what the maximum tyre wear was. Its 100 - and if you exceed that the tyre goes flat. However the grip is so low that you would make a pitstop to change them long long before they get that worn.

I think I've had a puncture as a result of accident damage (the wheel appeared to sink into the ground) but its much rarer than in GTR2 or RACE.

Have a good look at the BIK-vid for that red one...

I think I had a flat tire as a result of an accident. Front left of the car. It produced a lot of smoke and some dodgy handing on the way back to the pits.
However it was in the Bellett GTR.

I've had many flats in the Escort! Diving down the inside at Le Mans and at Warwick Farm is not recommended! But hell of a lot of fun, and yes the handling is all over the place. You can't maintain any sort of pace with the flats either.

Check the Bik-video for the 1310 SpongeBob Mini... it has figure-8's.
I did them backwards for the BIk for the League-SpongeBob.
