The Low Grip Thread

I've actually been using the low grips on all the cars you can drag spec (wheelie bars etc). It's counter intuitive to actual performance but it makes them feel more realistic, hard to keep in a straight line, rolling burnouts, and having to slow down to a crawl to turn a corner... It just makes those cars fun.

 

This is what people are saying about F1 cars with low grip tires. Makes it feel more like a big engine that's hard to handle at slow speeds until the downforce kicks in.

Oh that is interesting, I never would've put low grips on F1 cars but I didn't consider the idea of the extra downforce countering it at higher speeds. I don't really drive any track cars in freemode normally for the same reasons I avoid the future/alien weapons and meme vehicles.

 

More on motorcycles tho, I'm really enjoying the BF400, I think it slides as much as the Gargoyle but I always hated the forward controls on the Gargoyle/Cliffhanger because that seating position makes absolutely no sense on either of those bikes. And this probably applies to all bikes but I've only learned it from spending so much time riding the BF400, that mid slide if you lean forward the rear wheel will continue kicking out further allowing a very tight turning radius, and if you lean back you can lessen and even cancel the slide (if done fast enough you can even wheelie mid slide). So you can enter corners extremely hot for the slide and if you are sliding too far just lean forward to get that extra turn and then hit a wheelie as soon as you are pointed in the direction you want... it feels great and is much more realistic at least in the way you would ride a dual sport or supermotard on the street. It makes the dirtbikes a lot more fun on the motocross track too, you can slide into the berms and use them the way they should be, instead of having too much grip and no turning radius causing you to overshoot the corner like before.

Couldn't put Low Grips on my Scramjet

I just tried low grips on the 9F, its so much fun. You cant clutch kick very well because its an awd car but it has most of its power to the rear wheels and has enough power to slide through corners easily and its really great, if anyone has a 9f give it a shot

 

edit:

Hotknife also really fun
