edit:
Pound for pound the FTO STC is a world beater in GT5 and there's no way that a heavier car with 100 less HP would be able to keep up in a fair fight. It's GT500 fast in terms of speed and 4wd. Having said that, I believe the positive news about the vid is that the car didn't quit, didn't put the brakes on after getting passed and actually stayed side by side on the outside and made a pass. If they can do that with a superior car at least it'll be possible to make some decent races. If they can eventually do that with a relatively equal car then it's a huge step forward. Baby steps...
People acting like they were battling lap after lap.Since we like to dissect everything on here lets dissect the video 0:00-0:38 Jordan is flying and corner cutting like a bat out of hell
0:38-0:59 he catches the FTO and fly passes it because he hit the corner faster than everyone else because the touring (?)BMW and audi is slowing down the pack of GT500 cars and the FTO ( this is evident because even the slower cars he already passed, caught up with them)
059-1:15 The FTO is gaining on him while he's gaining on a few gt500 cars because the BMW and audi are holding them up ( the rest of the cars ahead of the BMW and audi are long gone as you can see around the 1:02 mark they're pulling away).
1:15-1:42 Jordan passes the slow BMW, the bmw holds up the FTO for a second.The FTO catches back up 1:55 the FTO cuts a corner to jump in front of Jordan ( NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF GT5 has this happened)1:58 Jordan isn't use to AI being aggressive, he panics and hit the fto before they do something so beautiful.
2:00-2:05 they are
both going around a sweeping left hander (with the AI on the inside line.. WHAT?!)
2:05-2:16 The FTO is looking for a point to pull ahead of Jordan.
2:16-2:30.The FTO along with the rest of the pack (aside from the audi) pull off because itz haz teh extra horses and teh lighter stuff etc.
2:30-2:34 Jordan comes back flying like a bat out of hell and cuts a corner hitting the FTO causing it to corner cut and go through the dirt making him catch some air.
2:34-2:40 Jordan pulls off,the FTO is catching up.
2:40 -- The FTO eventually leaves Jordan, then Jordan starts to fight with the Audi.
Moral of the Story.Don't expect to see realistic results (
ie cars that are faster than you should automatically leave you in the dust) if your driving unrealistically.. or like a bat out of hell.This was the case in GT5 too.The other moral of the story is that the FTO behaved much more realistically than what we have in GT5.
Edit:
How did the back of the tesla get damaged? The AI may be a little too aggressive.
