Yo guys!
So I've been wondering, but wouldn't it be a good idea to set a base weight for cars?
I know the Aston Martin goes well above 1300 kg (1362 kg), and the Audi and Camaro go to about 1312 kg. I was thinking 1350 kg would be a good base.

Well surprisingly, I ran the Aston at 1370 kg and 450 bhp and was hitting near the 1:49.5 mark at Daytona. The tune I had for it was nice leading into Turn 1, and I reckon it can do a little better. If we bump the weight, we can probably bump the bhp a little aswell.

I think the idea of an overall base weight is a good idea, it just makes balancing a lot easier if one variable is removed.

Sometimes, it doesn't always work though.
Anyways, who all has the R390 road car? If you have it, we may really need you in DP this season!

I have one. I'd love to use that as the new DP.

The NSX has 35 front 60 or 65 rear. It can match or beat the R390. You can't install a wing though. But if you leave the wing off the R390, it's got the same downforce level. I don't think it matters either way, you can spec both of them to be damn near equal regardless. That's how good the NSX is.

The thing is, if we're looking for a car that resembles a DP car then the R390 fits the bill perfectly.

In resemblance. I only said the NSX performs just as good.

Lowest weight it goes is 1080kg. I think that 490-520hp @1100-1150kg would be great.
I am ready to get the r390 road out for some tests. Min weight is 1062 I think. Not positive though. We made need 530-550 horsepower to deal with the extra weight.

Passionate Pink is a very loud pink to use. I have a Lexus LFA in that colour, as well as a Chevy Z06 RM that colour too.

Has the Toyota 1 race car ever been considered? It looks the part, not sure if it measures up though.

We used it in season 1.

I figured you had used it at some point, just thought I'd check.

Yea, we used LMP in season 1, and group c in seasons two and three.

I already have a leg up on you guys for settings then as I had this car setup with a decent tune for James' USCC thing.
