Yeah, this feature is very important for us too because our SLADI Masters eMotorsport drifting series starts november and now we have real hard time because the tyre physics are not right for drifting.
If it is possible just add templock in to the game or new drifting tyres what wont allow to do lap times. Tyre temperature lock in the game would be really nice and we can wait the new tyre physics longer to come without complaining.
