It is because the visuals of the track do not represent the actual conditions. Which they need to fix asap.

there's an onboard of a GTP @ le mans. it pretty much looks the same as in-game. Like driving on ice and it's going to kill you any minute. Seems to be quite on point.

​@macmagic21 yep the lmp2 at lemons were alot quicker last year than the gtps, think its the weight and the fact they have slightly less downforce that makes them so deadly

@@Thatlocomango_392 The weight actually helps with grip in wet weather as the extra force helps move water faster. GTPs should be quicker in low speed corners because so, but LMP2s are faster literally everywhere in iRacing and not just by a little bit. There are high speed sections in the rain where LMP2s are still flat out while GTPs are having to slow down and even downshift. The speed difference at some tracks is like LMP2 vs GTE. In the rain, two equal drivers in Hypercar and LMP2 perform similarly so it ultimately comes down to who's more talented in the wet weather. A few LMP2s were faster last year in the rain but not all of them. Same story for the 2022 6 Hours of Spa. One LMP2 was faster than all the Hypercars, but the Hypercars were still faster than all the other LMP2s, and the lone LMP2 never lost view of the Hypercars. But in iRacing, a 1k LMP2 driver will outpace a 5k+ GTP driver which definitely shouldn't be the case. As well, as the track dries, LMP2s become blisteringly quicker than the GTPs, like 5 seconds quicker. Should be the opposite, as the track dries, GTPs should gain more. Going back to Spa 2022, the second the rain stopped and track began drying, the Hypercars caught back up to the lone LMP2. Hypercars were able to pit earlier for dries than the LMP2s as well. In iRacing, GTPs don't become quicker than LMP2s until it's time for drys. LMP2s can be quicker but not that quicker. GTPs are more of a handful in the wet but not absolutely undrivable. There's definitely an issue with the rain tires.

It's a bit weird in heavy rain. Driving using the same line, it seems GTPs may spin even when it's completely off throttle while P2s can do half throttle or more. But when it dries up a little bit it feels okay actually

VRS wet sets are too stiff, is in my opinion a car set up issue, not a tire model issue. Get the suspension more compliant and the car transferring weight more efficiently for the wet and 1:57s in GTP is possible.

Based on the few times LMP2 and GTP have been out on the track in the rain IRL... yes, but it's hard to know for sure without getting someone whose actually driven a GTP in the wet IRL to test it.

It's not like this in real life though. It's all the tyre physics imo

@@AceBlake Good thing a Simracer can judge this. In Spa last year LMP2s lead a majority of the race cause of the rain. Its just a skill issue.

@@AceBlake LMP2 is faster than a GTP in real life when it's wet.

@@jowinho1183 No they're not.

@JSDRacingTeam This is from an article about the 6h of Spa in WEC 2022. Robin Frijns in the WRT Oreca LMP2 showed a strong performance in the second third of the race. The Belgian took the lead in the rain and even outpaced the hypercars. In wet conditions, the reduced power of the LMP2 (around 100 kW compared to the hypercars) does not have as much of an effect as in the dry, as there is simply less full throttle. At times Frijns was around two seconds faster than the rest of the field. But he also took some risks, but as a full professional he was able to judge the situations well.
