Well it never happened until now, I'm playing for a league I'm in and the others didn't had or didn't reported the same problem... btw it uses the 2004 nicola acciarri physics.

I had a go at other tracks and the same problem wasn't reported, so its a track/weather/setup specific problem with Montreal and Hockenheim as far as I am concerned.

TBH I think it has more to do with the Setup than the track and weather...

Quite right, GP4 has a track grip applied across the whole surface, on every sector. If one corner grips, they all grip, unlike newer games which have variable track grips at each corner affecting how the car behaves

Actually, i think you are wrong. Last time i played it was a wet track at melbourne. The last few corners were dry, and you could go through at normal speed. The first area was soaked, but with a dry line forming. Outside the dry line it was like ice. On it it was Fast.


The Flanker is gone.

What he's saying is that the grip of the track is always the same, the only thing that differs is how wet it is. So if the track is all the same wetness, it will have the same grip everywhere. If there's a dry line appearing, the drier sections will be grippier.

^^ what he said

oh, wauw And I thinking I was the smart-guy who drew a example

k, thnx, didn't know that.. But let's be honest, in real life it IS like that.. right ?

yes in real life it's like that but not in gp4

@Floris, Yes. You were crrect. just not in GP4.

Zep, if it was like that why did you say anything? are you out to confuse Me?


The Flanker is gone.

Eh? Confuse you how? I was simply backing up keiran's comment about rubber builup and changing grip levels. On a drying track obviously, the main line will get more grip, albeit relatively slowly in quite a few cases, but if it's fully wet, you can drive that line anyway, because the surface isn't changeable in a set track condition

Ok, ok I know it's a bad joke...

I love racing in wet time! I'm in a little Swiss kart Championship and when it rain I'm not bad at all! I use some very famous tips which were smorr said in the first message...

This is all good information however I'm running a championship season now and I set it as custom with 0% chance of rain and on race day in Monza i got rain....is there anyway to disable rain in an existing championshiP? Any editors out there? I'm running vista.

Ok I took all your recomendations and improved my rain skills.......
I completed Malaysia on the Podium in 2nd place right behind Coldhardt if you can believe it.
