Some progress had been made for the Season 4 BoP.
Me and JoeOfTheFire tested the LMP1 cars and we came to some conclusions:
- The car list has been updated. The Dodge SRT Tomahawk takes the place of the Hyundai N2025. This means that the car list is as follows:
2011 Audi R18 TDI ultra
2016 Audi R18
2017 Dodge SRT Tomahawk LMP spec
2017 Mazda LM55 LMP spec
2010 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP
2016 Porsche 919 Hybrid
2012 Toyota TS030 Hybrid
2016 Toyota TS050 Hybrid
The Hyundai is way, way slower than the rest of the field and has pretty poor handling.
- Each car will be limited to 2 drivers, which would result to one team per car.
This rule would be in effect for the GT class as well.
- The current BoP (the one provided by Polyphony) is rigged, to say the least.
The results of the test session at Circuit de la Sarthe were as follows:
1. 2011 Audi R18 TDI
2. 2016 Audi R18 (+0,700 sec)
3. 2016 Porsche 919 Hybrid (+1,000 sec)
4. 2017 Mazda LM55 (+1,000 sec)
5. 2016 Toyota TS050 Hybrid (+2,000 sec)
6. 2012 Toyota TS030 Hybrid (+2,500 sec)
The results of the test session at Interlagos were the following:
1. 2017 Mazda LM55 (1:17,115)
2. 2016 Audi R18 (1:17,550)
3. 2016 Porsche 919 Hybrid (1:17,630)
4. 2016 Toyota TS050 Hybrid (1:17,668)
5. 2012 Toyota TS030 Hybrid (1:18,063)
- The BoP will be adjusted based on not only the pace of the car, but its fuel economy and tyre health as well.
- No longboi. The Nissan has too much tyre wear to keep up with the rest of the car list.
