Howdy..
Assuming this thread is open to all, I'll opine on rear grip.

While I'll never actually ride Zarco's Yamaha up the Queckenberg at Sachsenring, the way the rear tire digs in if you pick the right line is just epic.

Conversely, if you try and pinch that final corner too tightly, the rear will skip and buck in what has to be realistic protest.

Beta13 rules..! IMHO.

Thanks for y'all's quick and respectful replies.
This is one of best forums I've seen on the net.

Now without starting an off-topic thread, many of us do find AMS/RRE/AC/PC2/RF2/iR to be reasonably capable of transmitting traction, slip angles and the correct inputs one might require to pilot real racing cars on real tracks. That is also supported by real race drivers' fine-tuning of some of these "sim-cades."

On point, I CLEARLY feel that GPB is exceptional ( especially with my FFB Thrustmaster wheel) to transmit the actual feelings of bike riding. Just Amazing.

While I do always run a few warm-up laps on each track before setting my times, I would so appreciate the time-saver of simply re-starting my run if I go down.
Sim Racing ( whether sim-cade or hard-core) is still time meant to be fun-time as we are not paid/professional sim racers.


It was so fun to try and match the actual MotoGP times at Sepang testing of last weekend!
(Lorenzo @ 1:58.8!)

My idea is offered as a time-saving convenience to compress those best hot-laps into the often limited sim time that our real lives can afford.
Alas, I realize that on a Wish List this wouldn't seem to make Page 1 over other more pressing updates.


As always, thanks for listening!
Respectfully and with a smile, mikey

Been a player now for 12 months and still find (especially with 13) that GPB physics and FFB exceeds even the best car sims!

What I'm asking here is:

If there could be/is a mod so that if we want to just run some timed fast laps, we could start maybe at the final corner before the Start/Finish with already hot tires?

Plenty of car sims offer this feature ( Automobilista, RRE, Assetto) and this would obviate the full warm-up lap currently required.

Plus when I fall, I could easily just restart my hotlap without having to complete an entire outlap!
Love GBP!

If just 1 in 3 of the roughly 1500 forum members here would PayPal up at least $25 US to support this worthy mission,
that's more than $4k in crowd funds!

I've tried to PayPal $40US to doubledragoncc@yahoo.com from USA but keep getting the following error:
"We're Sorry; There's a problem with the info you entered. Please check it and try again."

Tried sending as a Friend and as Goods/Services..

Great to see fellow new riders here..!!
Just purchased the Licensed Version last month and really appreciate the handling physics.

I've downloaded all tracks and bikes and keep updated each week.
My fav bikes so far are the docile Road Honda CBR and the SBK 15 Aprillia.

As an avid MotoGP fan, I tried the new '17 Yam R1 around Mugello and was 18 seconds off of Maverick's pole..
Ah Well.
Cheers all.. Mikey

( I use my Thrustmaster TM Wheel and pedals which has great feedback with this game.)
