Yes I know, the seat in the car is too far back, I know where the front of the Viper is, but in the Aston (and some other cars) the front of the bonnet/hood is a mile away from where I am sitting.
They have been adjusting BoP for ages, why would they at once nerf all the GT3/GR3 cars so much, if there were still a couple of cars that were still OP or the opposite they would just adjust those cars to equalise them all, there has to be a reason, it cannot be just the GT3/GR3 cars are too far from GT4/GR4 and too close to GT2/GR2?
It's not that there is a META car, it's that Kaz can make whatever car he wants to be the best one (based on sponsorships, for example). And it's often the Supra, GTR, or Genesis with BMW and Porsche getting the runner up. Meanwhile, there are other Gr cars that are forgotten because they just can't make times like the aforementioned. There's a reason that virtually every week the Gr3 Daily race is littered with Supras. It gets old after a while.I’m not sure why all the meta hate comes out, the reality is one thing is better than the other and more people can extract that from it.
In every race team I’ve been apart of we always wanted to extract more than the rest and if we had an advantage (engine, ARB slackness etc)
Not one race car is made equal, and if they are (single make) the teams have some things to adjust to make them less equal than others
Honestly it’s not the cars mostly it’s the people are inconsistent, some cars are better than others but I’d worry about drivers more than cars to be honest.
I think it's because the cars are just slower. The three you listed were three of the harder hit ones BoP wise in this update. All American cars, too; two of which were already pretty bad. Makes ya wonder don't it?
Sure, but what appears to be "to prepare for adding several new Gr.3 cars" doesn't look like a particularly solid one. Firstly because there's no reason they can't do both at the same time, but additionally because they've never added a bunch of Gr.3 cars - and indeed rarely add any at all. I think I've got six in my list, from the game's entire three-year, 105-car post-launch update life.
All Gr.3... Pretends to be shocked. Really these are all the same tracks we always see in Manus too, with the possible exception of Sardegna A in reverse instead of forwards like usual. Come on, PD, 39 locations and we get maybe 15 of them over and over again? We just ran the Nurburgring last week!!! And it looks like similar settings too...The Manufacturers schedule is up.

At least we have all had years of practice now….
At Monza the the difference is about 2 seconds at the sharp end and 3 seconds for normal people
so guessing it’s gonna roughly track the same through most of the circuits?
So if we scale for time, 10-12 seconds at Nurburgring Endurance. Ouch - although that only makes a minute or so on a race length I suppose.At Monza the the difference is about 2 seconds at the sharp end and 3 seconds for normal people

The Ford could definitely still be a viable car. It is a MR drivetrain, so it tends to rotate better in the corners than FR cars, like the Jag. That can make it easier to drive in the twisty bits of a course. Often that comes at the expense of top-end speed on the straights.
Look at that, me not procrastinating ended up being the wrong choice. Whoops.
