I think were finding now the right PP:s for the cars.
But we have decided that the same car can be used
by many teams, so You Guys that had picked Your car, You can change it if You want to.
Hopefully we will not though see only GT-R:s...
617PP for Nismo Z
613PP for all the GT-R:s, all Lexus,Castrol Toms Supra
605PP for all the NSX and Yellowhat Supra.
We are going to test these in the pre-race on thursday. People can change cars after that also.
PP:s can also be changed after the Pre-race!!!
Pre-Race Thursday on Indy Road.
I'm new to this and would like to join.
Please let me know if there is anyone needing a partner. Happy with most cars mentioned and feel I should be able to keep up.
Thanks

Eppe (Max) and I have tested some more at Suzuka and above seems right. Let me explain how we got to these numbers.
First we want as few PP steps as possible, and above three seems about right with the testing done so far.
Secondly, we like a colorfull grid. The NSX, GT-R, and Lexus are available in many different colors, so most of the focus is to get these three right. The "one off" cars such as Xanavi Z, Supra yellowhat, Toms Supra would be great to see too, but we don't want to have any of these three superior to the GT-R, NSX, or Lexus.
Testing we have used the GT-R as the benchmark car. Both Eppe and I have a good tune developed for the GT-R and we can drive it consitent around Suzuka. At 613PP the GT-R has 506HP.
At 613PP the Lexus gets 518hp, 12hp more than the GT-R. As the Lexus is a bit slower than the GT-R, With the extra HP the Lexus is now very close the GT-R (0.2 sec slower). But our Lexus is not as well tuned as the GT-R, so this looks very good.
At 613PP the NSX gets 542hp, and is much quicker (1.2 sec) than the GT-R. We then tried the NSX at the same HP as the GT-R (506) and the lap times was very even. I even managed a faster lap with the NSX so there is a lot of potential here. At 506hp, the NSX has 605PP.
The other cars. at 617PP, the Nissan Z gets 2HP less but 10KG more torque than the GT-R. We got within 0.1 sec laptime to the GT-R. The Supra Yellowhat gets 541Hp at 613PP. Too much. We will not create a special PP for the Supra, so it gets the same PP as the NSX.
We feel that these PP numbers are a very good start. After the pre-race we will see if we need to do some tweaks. We hope many different cars will turn up.
Cheers
