TYRE GRIP ADJUSTMENT FOR THE SIMULATION MODE (PLAYER)

Tyre grip has been rebalanced for wet conditions, as rain tyres previously suffered from excessive performance penalties.

AI PIT STOP BEHAVIOUR ADJUSTMENTS

Tyre state above 50% → Optimal conditions
Tyre state between 50% and 25% → More competitive than in previous versions
Tyre state between 25% and 10% → Reduced grip (but higher than in the previous version)
Tyre state between 10% and 1% → Low grip (significant loss of performance)
Tyre state at 0% → No grip

At the end of a race, the FINISH message will show penalty seconds (if penalties are enabled).
New HUD indicators for tire status: "reduced grip," "low grip," or "no grip" based on tire wear, compound, and track humidity.

► Tires
Dry tires reduced from 6 to 5 compounds: Soft, Medium, Hard, Intermediate, and Wet.
Adjusted lap counts for each compound.
Tire wear is now consistent regardless of race length (3, 5, 10, or 20 laps). Degradation is no longer tied to total lap count.
Tire behavior now evolves based on wear, compound, and humidity, with four grip states:

NEW TIRE: Optimal performance.
REDUCED GRIP: Slightly less performance.
LOW GRIP: Noticeable degradation, still drivable.
NO GRIP: Major grip loss; the car becomes difficult to handle but can reach the pits.

In Standard mode, different top speeds for each compound.
In Simulation mode, dry tires have similar straight-line grip but vary in cornering grip.

► Weather
Weather selector added for any race or practice session.
Option to force rain at race start.
New heavy rain condition added.
Track reflection effect based on water levels.
