I assume there are parts of the track where the plank may encounter more water (be lower to the surface) than the tires due to an uneven surface. Also braking and load on the front may change that too.
And about 2/3 the width of the dry tires. I know they already do both of these to some extent, but perhaps they just need to go further.
Also the car would then be able to jump up and down. Good for the victory lap.ian_s wrote: ↑19 Oct 2017, 09:48active ride height control could sort that problem out, when the wet engine map is enabled it raises the right height accordingly.
it could also be useful for when cars end up in gravel traps, press a button on the steering wheel and the ride height raises to stop the plank beaching in the gravel and on kerbs,
Remember that at speed the downforce on the cars forces them down, removing much of the ground clearance that is that at low speeds. This is why you see them sparking more at the end of a straight that at the start when they're going slower.
