What specs are these cars tuned to?
I'm too lazy to look up the real cars specs or even the specs for the different classes...
So for my "GT4 Class" I am tuning to a 2.25kg/hp power to weight --- this yields HP from 531-600 and PP ranges from 556-590pp depending on the HP of the Italian cars and the weight of the Astons
My GT3 Class I have tuned to 2.15 power to weight
my GT2 Class I have tuned to 2.05 power to weight
and my GT1 Class I have tuned to 2.00 power to weight
if I find that one of the cars I want in that class is out performing the others, I put some restrictions on it or harder tires... but the power to weight is an amazing starting point to keep them all tight
The GT3 cars are like the
Camero Touring Car, Gallardo LP560, GT3 Z4, GT3 GT-R, the Schultze version, the C7, the GT3 SLS, The R8 LMS, BMW M3, Lexus IS CCS-R, the Zr1, R8 Ultra, M3 motorsport BMW race cars
These are in the low 600s for PP
I like driving cockpit - so I have neglected some fine cars that are standard and kept them out of the field....
The GT2 cars are like the '98 Diablo, the Z06 LM race car, the R8 Ultra phoenix, the M3 GT2 Base Model, the Calsonic IMPUL GTR, the Xanavi Nissan Z, the YelloHat SUpra and the SLS stealth model - cars like that
These are lower in weight so the PP winds up being 580-620PP range
The GT1 cars are 2.0hp/weight - basically what we ran at Sarthe - lighter cars so the PP is still low 600s
so they all are high 500 low 600 pp cars... its just their platform and weight put them in a certain class...
I love having a stable of similar tuned cars that I know perform the way I want them too.... and in tuning to make them all similar - I find the fastest one or the best tune I like and spend as much time on the others trying to get them within a couple seconds...
Imagine a series like this yes... but also being able to instead of doing "one make races" for our casual nights - be able to have everyone be able to go to their "GT3 cars", we already have tweaked our LeMans 'GT1' cars, we have found our favorite GT300 and GT500 cars... I think these cars could all be tuned pretty tight as well and could provide some enjoyment...
and perhaps we have a lottery system for chosing cars... only allow 2 of any one model in a race - so we don't have 9 Ferraris and one R8... perhaps put the winner of a previous event at a slight disadvantage in picking early in the next round or something...
In racing you don't get to pick your car - your car picks you....
we're just getting crazy now!!!
