Car Comparisons No.1 VGT Cars (1.17)

[wvmgmidget]

I'm kicking off my first of many reviews and comparisons. I use a DS3, ABS at 1, MT, RH tyres, TCS at one and all other assists off. All cars receive a car wash and oil change before the test. No modifications will be made to the cars (with the exception of the two I mentioned above). A spreadsheet for overall standings in each of the categories is coming soon. Each update I will give a review of all the new content and the new cars will be on the overall charts. I will use the lap times from the best of five laps (strictly 5 no exceptions made) at London, Indy Road Course, and Trial Mountain. The top speed the top speed I got at the first straight away at SSRX. This all adds up for the performance category. For each place the car gets it receives points. If the car gets first it's receives the points equal to that of the number of cars (for example if there's 8 cars the first place car gets 8 points and for each place down it goes down one point). The player factor is worth half the points as performance because they're are more categories and some can be swayed by opinion. The bonus (one point for each thing so 2 points max) is received if it is premium w/interior and/or if it can do rally/ice. The events are for career mode not online. The price does not factor in the free car if you do the seasonal. The tuning and customization is determined by if you can put performance parts, paint the car and/or change the body parts. Occasionally I will have a bonus fastest lap at another course for one category of cars I'm comparing. It will contribute to the comparison score but obviously not the overall. I hope you will enjoy this and let me know what you think (don't be a hater please).

Interesting. I was testing the VGT's quite extensively, glad to see I'm not the only one 👍

 

[wvmgmidget]

How did you test it and to what extent? I'm just curious because I haven't really heard of anyone doing it yet.

 

[MatskiMonk]

All the VGT's at Various tracks (Primarily Sierra, the 'ring, and the Cape Ring), keeping a close eye on sector times and average speeds throughout the sectors. I also plotted average speeds against bhp/kg and PP to see what kind of linearity there was, the equation that defined the trend-line on the graph became useful for predicting lap-times, though I only tried this at Sierra so far.

 

[wvmgmidget]

I haven't thought of that. I might try that in the future. It would be that hard to plot either considering I have logger pro at my disposal. I'm wondering what type of cars I should test next?

 

[wvmgmidget]

A review of update 1.14 will come soon. I'm a very busy person.

[iName]

Tuning and customization with R18? I know you can paint the base 908 but what can you do with the R18?

 

[wvmgmidget]

Oops it doesn't have a base model I'll correct it

 

[wvmgmidget]

1.15 VGT cars added

 

[wvmgmidget]

Mazda LM55 added

 

[wvmgmidget]

1.17 cars added (finally). I'll keep the VGT comparison updated but I won't do any new ones (I'm really busy)
