Clubman Cup rant

[MacBaby]

Okay, first of all, great that Clubman Cups are back.. but

1. In the Tokyo Expressway Max 550 PP race, the winner is a Porsche GT3 RS, which has... 582,09 PP, so pretty much over the limit that the player is set to. What's up with that?

2. Why is the AI so aggressive, even on normal difficulty? In almost every race they rear-end me police-style, sending my spinning into the shoulder, like they are 10 year old kids in GT Sport with no sportmanship.

3. Why is the diffculty on these races generally insane? It seems like the AI has an advantage in every PP-limited race, where a certain PP-car that I have, simply isn't fast enough, and I'll have to decrease the difficulty to easy in order to win.

First of all, those aren't Clubman Cup but Clubman Cup PLUS, they are supposed to be way harder than regular Clubman Cup races.

From my experience, specially this CC+ 550pp could be tackled the wrong way. I found them very hard on a heavily upgraded car, because you have to nerd it and has not enough power to the Porsche (generally and not only in Tokyo) or a more modest base model fully upgraded also doesn't have the power and torque.

This is specially significant in Tokyo and High Speed Ring where the cornering and braking abilities aren't much important.

I found this races much easier on a car without much upgrades. In my case the Honda Civic FK8 '20, with weight reduction stage 1 and Sports medium tires gets to 547pp. The car has great general balance and stock LSD. Only thing harder is the rubberband at Tokyo, you get to the rear of the Porsche and suddenly he starts lapping 4 seconds a lap faster.

EDIT: just noticed the Honda with the aforementioned specs goes to 552.3 pp after update 1.13.
