Here is the lightweight cars comparison, the
Hommel Bernlette, ASL Gararya, Lotus Elise and Tommykaira ZZ-S will battle to see who is the best lightweight road car.
Tommykaira ZZ-S
Bhp - 192
Weight - 690 Kg
Torque - 145.31 Ft.Lbs
Drivetrain - MR
400 Meters - 14.285 Seconds
1000 Meters - 25.611 Seconds
Max Speed Test - 163.36 Mph
Autumn Ring Lap Time - 1'31.239
192 Bhp + 690 Kg = A brilliant lightweight car called the Tommykaira ZZ-S, as soon as I got to Autumn Ring I knew it'd be fast.
The brakes could be slightly stronger and easier to keep control of, but other than that, it's a brilliant car, very fast out of corners, and great handling when turning aswell.
I decided I would drive 6 laps in each car, I did'nt go wide at all in the Tommykaira, it had no understeer an stayed in line perfectly.
Overall, the Tommykaira is one of the best cars with under 200 Bhp stock, especilly at Autumn Ring.
Hommel Berlinette R/S Coupe
Bhp - 164
Weight - 950 Kg
Torque - 144.05 Ft.Lbs
Drivetrain - FR
400 Meters Time - 15.260 Seconds
1000 Meters Time - 27.673 Seconds
Max Speed Test - 146.83 Mph
Autumn Ring Time - 1'33.106
The Hommel got worse as it went along, first, it was over a second slower than the Tommykaria at 400 Meters, then it was just over 2 seconds slower at the 1000 Meters, and to round that off, it was nearly 20 Mph slower at the max speed test.
This is because it has 28 Bhp less than the Tommykaria, it's 240 Kg heavier and has 1 Ft.Lb less torque.
In every technical statistic I recorded, the Tommykaira is better.
At Autumn Ring, the Hommel did feel fast, but turned out to be over 2 seconds slower, it has good handling, but lacks the speed and has a tad more understeer than the Tommykaira.
The brakes are good, and easy to keep under control, but it sometimes understeers when accelerating out of tight corners.
ASL Garaiya
Bhp - 201
Weight - 800 Kg
Torque - 151.89 Ft.Lbs
Drivetrain - MR
400 Meters Time - 14.195 Seconds
1000 Meters Time - 26.044 Seconds
Max Speed Test - 150.47 Mph
Autumn Ring Lap Time - 1'28.665
The ASL was just fast enough to beat the Tommykaira at the 400 and 1000 Meter tests, but did'nt have enough speed to beat it at the Max Speed test, it was over 10 Mph slower than the Tommykaira.
At Autumn Ring though the ASL was
brilliant, extremmely fast through the tight corners, stock short gearing made it very fast accelrating on the straights.
Despite having more understeer than the Tommykaira and Hommel, I did'nt go of the track, and the ASL's best lap time was nearly 3 seconds faster than the Tommykaira's! (1'28.665).
The Tommykaira had the weight advantage, but the ASL has torque and BHP advantage, also it has better brakes.
Lotus Elise 111R
Bhp - 189
Weight - 860 Kg
Torque - 133.51 Ft.Lbs
Drivetrain - MR
400 Meters Time - 14.199 Seconds
1000 Meters Time - 25.705 Seconds
Max Speed Test - 159.41 Mph
Autumn Ring Time - 1'27.575
The Lotus was just 0.004 seconds from taking victory for the 400 Meters, then, lost to the ASL and Tommykaira at the 1000 Meters.
But the Lotus then came 2nd at the Max Speed test, behind the Tommykaira.
And just as I thought the ASL had won the Autumn Ring Test, the Lotus came and beaten it by nearly a second.
The ASL is lighter, and has more Torque and Bhp, but the Lotus has much less understeer and better handling, it has much better turn in and exit to corners, and the brakes are easy to stay in control of, I did'nt have to brake very often and I could accelrate out of corners earlier with the Lotus, it's the
all round better car.
When to buy
Handling - Lotus
Speed - Tommykaira
Accelration Over 400 Meters - ASL
Accelration Over 1000 Meters - Tommykaira
Turn in to corners - Lotus
Corner exiting - Lotus
All round best -
Lotus Elise 111R
