Tsukuba lap times for 136 N-class cars - 1 remaining

Tested:

1:00.859 - Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4

One tenth slower than it's smaller brother, the Huracan. How is this possible, you might be asking? Well, the Aventador weighs 337 lbs (153 kg) more. So despite possessing 89 and 96 extra hp and ft-lbs of torque, the Aventador can't outrun the Huracan.

1:04.331 - Aston Martin V8 Vantage S

Half a second slower than the BMW M4 Coupe.

Tested:

1:04.826 - Lexus RC F
1:09.107 - Renault Sport Clio R.S. 220 EDC Trophy '16

The Lexus is only a few tenths behind the Camaro SS, while the '16 Clio is a tenth slower than the '15.

Tested:

1:01.767 - Aston Martin One-77
1:08.814 - BMW i3

The Aston is 2 tenths slower than the McLaren 650S. I added the BMW i3 because it should be a N-class car since it's for sale to the public. It's a tenth faster than the M3, believe it or not!

After taking a bit of a break I updated my spreadsheet. I found a couple of things I think are interesting.
- The BRZ is exactly average for lap time in the N200 class,
- The Fiat is just under 100 seconds for Tsukuba. A record only 5 seconds slower than the Sambabus.
- The Sambabus is with 30 hp/ton still the lowest on power, relatively speaking
- The difference between the two clio's is ca. 4 hp per ton (a metric ton)

@MidFieldMaven Do you have the intention of completing the Suzuka laptimes for the Nxxx class cars?

Nice findings! I'll test the last batch of new cars at Suzuka once I'm done with Tsukuba. There are two I might never do because they're expensive and I'm too lazy to grind. Ford GT40 and Aston Martin Vulcan (which I had tested at Suzuka but sold foolishly after for extra money...)

In love with the EVO IV, cant stop driving it.
1.05.298 PB, definitely can be a 1.04.xxx

That's more than 2 seconds faster than me. I don't quite see how that's possible. Got a replay so I can compare to mine?
 
Sure I’ll try a few more laps to get a 1.04 then I’ll upload the replay

My set up is manual, assists off except ABS (weak), racing hard tires and on a DS4. The only cars i can drive are FF,MR & AWD. RWD on a controller with TCS off? NOPE...

Oh okay, I thought you were using Sport Hard tires. Now it makes sense. Yeah I hated using a DS4 with GT6 and it was even worse in GT Sport.

Edit: Just booted up GTS for the first time since Tuesday. Stupid update took 30 minutes :(

Tested:

1:02.628 - Ford GT40 Mark I
1:04.856 - Lexus LC500

The LC500 ties the RC F somehow, despite being heavier. It's more stable and can put the power down better.

I sold about a dozen high-value cars to afford the GT40, and it was worth it. I can't remember the last time I used a Gr.1 or Gr.X car besides the BMW i3. The GT40 is a tenth slower than the Diablo GT and less than 6 tenths slower than the modern Ford GT.
 
Modern track tires like sport cup 2s or trofeo r (which I assume the nismo comes with something similar IRL) is probably more comparable to sports soft. Modern tire technology has moved on from gt4 where street cars came with a sports hard equivalent.

I remember GT5 days the equivalent tyre to match real life was Comfort Med and Comfort Soft
 
I will be testing all 94 N-category cars + BMW i3.

T300 wheel, paddle shifters, ABS and Brake Balance at default settings. All other aids off.

Tires are Sport Hard for every car.

no La Ferrari?
 
Porsche GT3 RS is punching way above its class. Not surprised, its the best driving road car in the game.
yes it is, GT3 RS seems to go around the track like glue, My brother has a old Carrara 2 it does like hell, but the interior I feel is well a bit basic.
 
I refuse to re-test all the cars. I'm upset that they did this to me. It really wasn't necessary. It could have waited for the next GT game. Did they switch up the physics mid-way through any previous GT's life-cycle? I'll either put an * next to each future car I test, or end the trials here and now. I may re-test a few to see if I can find a pattern and shift all the times down by that number. I'm not sure yet. All I know is I'll be testing the three Kei cars tonight/tomorrow.

It definitely was necessary. Have you not noticed any weirdness with the tires that everyone is talking about??? I mean come on, you test all these cars at Tsukuba. Do you not know the real lap times of the cars? Have you not seen any of the Best Motoring videos? The old tire model was a freaking joke!

Thank god it was replaced and I hope I'll forget the old tire model one day.

Oh and yeah, I remember they tweaked a few things in GT6, the game had serious airdrag issues which they fixed soon after the release.
 
Honestly I haven't tried the new update yet. I just got home from work and won't be playing for another couple of hours. Maybe I will end up re-testing everything :crazy:
 
I suggest retesting some cars to see what the differences are. I think that the best cars to compare are cars that are alike. The gr. Road cars come to mind because they are similar homologated. My choice would be a MR (rzc, 4c) a FR (Corvette, Mustang, atezna) and a 4wd (lancer and WRX). If the times are alike then I would suggest to take the attic asterisk approach, if not retesting is a must if you want these comparisons to be taken seriously.
I would give the retesting the priority, because it will determine how skewed new results are, if comparable at all.
I agree that this is a really painful development to all other comparisons and competitive racers, but lets hope it will be a change that betters the GTS experience.
 
The new tyre model feels nice, so it's not a bad thing. Also, they did change the physics in the middle of GT6, but we just started our tests after that update.

I understand though, I finished the pre 1.23 new cars on Alsace last week, refrained from posting my sheet though because it seemed pretty obvious we would get the new tyre model now. I definitely won't be restesting the cars on this track, might try on a new one after the FIA Final season though.
