It has changed, Kazunori has stated that the game simulates the cars performance on a track in the background and does that each time when you make changes and it's that simulation that determines the PP rather than x bhp + y torque z weight which creates outliers and cars that vastly under or over perform for their rating.
That's because it only matters what Kaz thinks. If he thinks it good it's good. Or least that's the way it seems looking from the outside
No.
It's possible that Sardegna road and rally tracks will be separate locations. Unconfirmed but likely.
Sardegna is split in two on the world map. One dot for Windmills and one for Roads.
Perhaps PP decreases with mileage if you don’t change the oil or overhaul the engine? Probably not, but yesterday I was reading an excellent thread by @Hastatus detailing the degradation of BHP in GT6 as the miles pile up. It could be the case that the Fit and Aqua have had their oil changed and engines overhauled sooner than the Demio.
Toyota Aqua HP is listed as 122 in the SoP video (it's worth noting that IRL it's rated at 132HP combined so mileage/age might be affecting the stats of the used cars). The 72 HP number I'm assuming you saw is just the gas engine. The Prius C/Aqua makes 6 lb-ft of torque more than the Fit Hybrid too. So, strictly in terms of HP/Torque/Weight, the cars are pretty comparable. As others have mentioned, there is almost certainly more that goes into determining PP.
This has got me thinking: would the menu book still be listed as "complete" if you no longer own the cars?
Kaz already explained his rationale for the new hub design, but of course we still need to ask again and pull the "but generation Z" card
Forza 1 was the first "racing sim " I played ... with a controller. When I bought a G25, a PS2 & GT4, I was in a different universe. I also played a lot of Enthusia, which had its strong points, but was altogether too quirky & eccentric to stand up against the might of GT4. I didn't realize that RBR had been released for PS2 & Xbox - I thought it was only a PC game.
. No cars in exactly the same order making the experience repetitive and stale. The possibilities would almost be endless with custom races!
Even better would be savable/editable race and championship templates. You could have a template that is a blank canvas for 9 (or whatever) races as a championship. You go in and pick your tracks, classes, track and race conditions. Then select your AI from your garage. An option for auto pick could also be available for those that dont care for the possible customisation.
