FB2 Test 8: Added pitstops and revamped the tire temperature physics

What's New in Test 8

• Pit Stops & Tire Compounds: Added dynamic pit stops with selectable tire strategies. Choose between Soft, Medium, Hard, and Wet compounds.

• Revamped Tire Temperature Physics: Tire temperature now dynamically impacts both wear rate and grip levels:

  • Cold: +15% wear rate, -15% grip.

  • Optimal: Maximum tire longevity and baseline grip.

  • Sweet Spot (Performance Window): +10% grip boost with a -10% trade-off in tire life.

  • Overheated: -18% grip penalty and +300% accelerated wear.

• Handling & Braking Balance: Refined turning sensitivity and braking power based on player feedback to reduce over-steer and overly aggressive deceleration.
