    It will be interesting to see how theyy drive compared to the Automobilista ones. It´s quite a technique to get them through corners without scrubbing off too much speed.

    Hopefully one day. A new lick of paint is very much needed, but yes looking forward to see what becomes of the trucks.

    I don't want to share the track with people who prioritize graphics, so what you're saying might be a good thing.

    BTW, is it correct that Regen. Braking +/- is put under "Gameplay" section instead of "Driving"?

    Same. The only thing I know related to water-cooled brakes is a cheating attempt in F1 in the 80s, so this keybind looked like an easter egg to me :D

    Midway through it is explained.

    Immense forces applied on the brakes cause them to overheat tremendously, hence water cooling is a necessity. “We carry about 200 litres of water in what from the outside looks like air tanks, so we use about 200 litres of water in half an hour [race],” – says Honens.

    “We have brake disc temperature sensors, which the driver gets monitored on the display and we have a regulator valve that controls the water flow, so depending on the temperature he sees on his display, he adjusts the water flow to the brake discs, which is sprayed through the sprayers to the air vents on the disc to keep them in the certain window, depending what brake pads we use,” – continues Honens.

    “There are different philosophies up and down the paddock. There are trucks out there that have constant flow, there are trucks that have nozzles connected to the brake pedal, so as soon as drivers hits the pedal, the water comes and there are other ones with time relay – five seconds spraying and five seconds off, something like that,” – explained Honens.
