So I was watching a really good youtuber z28 online in one of his videos in Japan and he points out that his Citreon wasn't as powerful because the engine wasn't upgraded with mileage points yet. He said he noticed that even though BOP is supposed to remove the upgrades cars still felt faster after the upgrade. I never bothered to upgrade because I only play in sport mode. Is this true? Has anyone else noticed cars performing better in BOP races after upgrading the engine?
How to change BOP performance?

I would be surprised if BoP values were not based on the car’s default values.
It would really be a stupid thing to do.

Very funny. In all honesty I still don't know what it means.
Burrito or Panini.
It's a type of race where you have to go as fast as possible without a Burrito or Panini (random assignment) sliding off your bonnet. If it does fall off, a massive dragon eats your car and poops it out in last place.
Very challenging but rewarding.

Lol, sorry. Balance of performance. Basically just making sure no car is overpowered compared to the others.

Would definitely explain why I'm always always a few seconds off the Top 10
. I also watch Z28 regularly, and while he is a very good racer (one of the top Americans with S/S rating), he sometimes starts blathering on his stream, theorising about this, and that. His observations, however, are usually "feelycrafty", and anecdotal at best.Of course not. Except for TCS, and Break Balance every other "Car Setting" is locked, as can easily be checked.
You have 500+ messages on a forum dedicated to racing games, and don't know what balance of power is? I find that hard to believe, since it's nothing GT has invented, but a term commonly used in motorsports.
Would have just been easier to tell him what it meant instead of being condesending and wasting your time writing rude comments that no one cares about!Would definitely explain why I'm always always a few seconds off the Top 10

I don't come on line that often and don't know all the abbreviations so when I see one which I don't know and want to know I ask. simples really.
I have never heard it called bop yes I have heard balance of power before but I didn't put two and two together. My Bad.

Interesting.. Someone needs to test a stock car with BoP on then a fully upgraded version with BoP on and see if there is a noticeable lap time difference.
I can't try until tomorrow.
I actually did a race earlier with that scenario, the bhp and weight was exactly the same on both (with BoP on) but I didn't take note of times.

I still think they need to automate leveling. Waiting for them to address the imbalance manually takes forever, assuming they are even considering it. Ans, if they do make adjustments, we have to hope that dev does the job right.
Just automate it and let data do the balancing.

The FIA instituted a BOP algorithm for the GTE class in the 2017 WEC season (probably a result of handing Ford a win at Le Mans in 2016 through bad BOP). PD has access to way more data than would be available for WEC/GTE. PD should leverage their FIA partnership and adapt this algorithm for each class in GTS. Additionally, the FIA could use GTS to refine the algorithm and make it better for the future of actual racing.

Even better, since this is virtual world rather than a real one, the game could balance the cars on it's own based on lap time gaps between cars.
