So I'm thinking of doing a Ferrari Enzo vs McLaren F1 custom series.

But its not going to well can this 2 cars be made competitive with each other?

I did a test both normal cars, RH tires, Boost set to weak, and I lower the Enzo HP down to 625 and.

Love the Idea of this anyone know which way to approach this problem?

A good starting point is to make sure they both have the same power, weight and downforce. If one of them is still significantly faster then add ballast until it evens out.

Not sure if ballast will work since the f1 is lighter then the enzo 2,767 vs 2,513.

Thanks for the suggesting. :)

Transmission may need to be paddle shift for the F1. Enzo will definitely have quicker shifts. If you use full race transmissions on both, could limit both top speeds to whatever you want.

I don’t have super and hyper cars, but are these two cars’ stock suspension setting similar? Maybe a tighter suspension setting for the AI to extend its performance programming.

Are the brakes upgraded on the F1? Carbon rotors or just racing brake pads help the AI go deeper with less mistakes in late braking.

Maybe, run an AI for both cars and you sit on the side of the road(Flags off) and see how they perform in a replay. At Spa like the race above and I guess one or two laps of Monza.

Using your post I tune them up not to much since I wanna keep them base no parts you cant remove and so I got this result now.

What a difference.:)

I'm so excited for this one 10 Enzo vs 10 f1 all with different liveries.:drool:

Another bright day for Suzuka with a new diverse grid to boot due to pseudo-qualifying

The Valvoline starting at tbe back this time made one hell of an early dive before going under the bridge

Epson NSX and Petronas RC F were the two protagonists in the first half of the race but it slowly shifts afterwards

In an attempt to pass, I collided with the Shell GT-R which caused it to spin, for those wanting to call me the new George Russell, I did receive karma for this immediately after :lol:

Everyone pitted on the same lap to begin the 2nd half, no major changes occured during this procedure though it all went ahead after

First simple midpack move from the Sharkbite RC F gunning for points

The Castrol RC F and I started making moves to get up at front becoming the new protagonists of the race as we both gained on the Epson and Petronas

First we both passed the Petronas around the same area, now chacing the Epson. Meanwhile behind us the Marelli GT-R made a similar move on the Loctite

We then both made moves on the Epson NSX to be at in front now dogfighting for either my 3rd win or Lexus's first

I held off the charge and crossed the line in 1st. HOWEVER, due to incident I made with the Shell GT-R which is unacceptable. I gave myself a post-race 10 second penalty which means I actually drop out of points finish and the Castrol RC F wins anyway.

Points after Round 4:
1 - #22 Xanavi Hiroto GT-R - 57 Pts
2 - #5 Fox Racing NSX - 55 Pts
3 - #64 Epson Nakajima NSX - 45 Pts
4 - #33 Valvoline GRM NSX - 39 Pts
5 - #36 Castrol TOM'S RC F - 29 Pts
6 - #16 Loctite Mugen NSX - 26 Pts
7 - #12 Marelli Impul GT-R - 24 Pts
8 - #37 Petronas TOM'S RC F - 18 Pts
9 - #3 BLITZ RC F - 16 Pts
10 - #2 Tomica Sabelt GT-R - 6 Pts
11 - #8 Sharkbite Falken RC F - 4 Pts
12 - #80 Opera Performance NSX - 3 Pts
13 - #14 Bully Dog GT-R - 1 Pt

1 - Honda - 8 Pts
2 - Nissan - 5 Pts
3 - Lexus - 3 Pts

Round 5 will be at Kyoto Driving Park. Let's hope I don't make another accident like that or I ain't winning this thing :lol:

I decided to add the Porsche Carrera GT '04.

And it turn out to be a great addition this is when I wish the grid was more then 20 cars.

The grid will be made out of.

X7 - Ferrari Enzo
X7 - McLaren F1
X6 - Porsche Carrera GT

That's 140 million credits on the Mclaren F1 alone :embarrassed:

How on earth did you save up for a project like that to get it done so quickly?
