New PP sub-system concept - car/track combo - C/T

[TurismoBad]

In this sub-system of PP score, C/T score would be a combination of track and a car.

Light, nimble car will get a higher C/T score on tight track with short straights and a much lower score on a track with long straights and few corners.

In short the C/T of the car is risen or lowered depending on which track it's racing.

Tuned Midget can challenge the Veyron on GT Arena - in this case C/T of Veyron and Midget should be very close.

As we change the tracks both cars should be given different C/T values to reflect their ability to tackle the course.

I could see PP system remaining as it is with the C/T system working alongside it.

That's a cool idea. I wish I could have some hope that PD would implement it haha

here was my idea:

I hope to see eventually they split PP into 2 parts:
Power vs Agility

As LS Chiou said perfectly, track matters. So I would think it best they give us a breakdown for how much acceleration there is in high speed, and how nimble a car is around a turn.

Power increased by:
Adding horsepower, lower drag, removing downforce, removing weight slightly
Agility modified by:
greatly affected by weight, drivetrain, downforce, being lower to the ground, tire width.

PD could simply take those 2 numbers and add them back up into PP, but the player could easily see where the cars performance really comes from. If someone adds a ballast they would see how the Agility number plummets while the Power number only decreases slightly. If they remove downforce their Agility drops, but Power increases (I am kinda mad downforce no longer changes PP dynamically like it did in GT5).

If someone were to make a room with 600pp limit, being no more than 60% saturated in either Power or Agility, then the cars would all be very similar to each other in design, resulting in a bunch of supercars with no crazy outliers. People currently use the min weight/max hp method to try and achieve the same effect.

So if people currently have a bit of a work around, do we really need to break out PP anymore? I think so. It would be great to filter and sort my cars without having to think much. If I'm headed to a track that is technical, I sort my garage by Agility. When making a room I dont have to get all complicated with what range of weight and HP is appropriate, I can simply adjust the Power/Agility range to be more or less restrictive and let everyone pick what makes them happy.
