Need more speed

i guess it depends on what you define as slow but, wanna bet? I typically race in the 450-550pp bracket.

it's got massive straights/flatout sections where HP wins. PP "wasted" on downforce results in slower overall laptimes.

Yes, that's a bit slow for me.

Nordschelife is one track where HP definitely washes. Max DF is the way to go. The straights? Only got 3. Last one is the only one where less DF is an advantage and that depends on whether you catch a draft or not.

we'll have to agree to disagree then. if we ever cross paths online, i'll prove you otherwise.

It's a give and take. If your corner speed is slow enough that downforce isn't needed, then clearly it's a waste of PP. The Prius can probably take all the corners full throttle, because it's only going 10mph, downforce isn't going to help it, if there's no corner speed to be gained.

Downforce will win in the higher PP ranges though.
The ratio of corners to straight in this track alone, should prove that downforce will win, as long as it's beneficial to grip.
