Grip??

[russvox]

I havent used this properly for around a year and a half... Just turned it on and there is no grip?

I used to be able to get 58-59 secopnd laps all day long on Lime Rock in an MX5 Roadster, now I'm on the absolute limit to get a 1:02.200

Im a pretty darn good sim racer and I feel in the last year I've got better, but in this there is just an unrealistic lack of grip?

So whats all this about then??

they did release a new tire model this season not sure if the MX-5 has it or not. So it could be because of the new tire model.

Yikes, I have just tried a few other cars. This has gone from realistic and fun..... to a complete mess. Shame

[Max Headroom]

The most likely cause is different weather, the cars are getting easier to drive, new tyres make the car easier to catch a slide and new suspension and chassis make the car a bit softer and compliant over bumps, could also be that your setups and now dated and incorrect.

I think it might be down to his setup I just drove the MX-5 and it felt really good. The grip was there.

Possibly, I'll have a play around

i Dont race the MX5 much anymore nowerdays, but i do race the L79 alot, and the thing i noticed after NTMV6 all my old setups where useles and had to redo most of them.
After reworking those setups the car handles even better as before, i suspect since the Rookie/D-Licence Mx5 cup might have the same issue, but due the fixed setup you cannot change the setup. Might be an oversight.
It woudnt be the first time Fixed series needed a new Baseline/Fixed setup due all the updates done to the sim.

This has happend before when there is an serious issue with it, but enough people have to complain and present serious feedback on that. Not just random whines on forums.
Its also (what i suspect) the change in tyre model changed the car handling to a point you need to rethink you'r lines, and without beeing dismissive or trying to talk you down, alot of people do have problems in Adjusting toward such a change, and blame everything except themself.

If its the Advanced MX5 cup, check the setups, it might be needed some alternations, hence the L79 did after the change. Baseline setup of the L79 after the change is near impossible to drive on some tracks.
