If your expecting it to have plenty of grip then you will have issues but drive to the grip levels its not much different to any other car with less grip.On a real track you have no control over weather or track conditions so you simply have to deal with what you have. There is no point complaining as everyone is in the same position and those accepting the challenge will likely do better then those putting themselves on the back foot complaining about things they have no control over.

General public woud also likely be scared off by the lower grip.223 valid laps Tuesday server with nearly 3 minute laps if you include invalid laps its 459 laps in this weeks combo. Thursday practice server 28 valid laps 46 includong invalid. With laptimes 1 minute shorter.

Spa is very often low grip as its gets very cold and can stay damp all day in such conditions.There are no wet physics and so we also dont have wet tyres. A wet track is mosty just more slippery then a dry track but also the water on track cools tyres more so softer compounds are used for wets. They also need some groves to clear water so less surface area to the track which means even an inter tyre has lower grip then a slick. Main reason people would go on a slick asap even if its too cold as long as there isnt standing water they need to clear as it will be faster then a wet tyre on a damp track. Also a soft wet tyre would overheat quickly on a drying track so if we had rain and proper wet tyres and physics it wouldnt be much different to what this is other then visually and possibly a more dynamic track with drying line and puddles.

Reduced visibility3. Reduced tractionCan't do anything about 1 or 2, but we can reduce grip as per 3. Even if AC simulated rain, all that's pretty much missing from the look & feel of racing in the wet is raindrops on the windscreen.Server's up.
