Chevrolet Corvette C7 Gr.3 [Power Ratio : 103% > 104%]

y tho?

Nissan GT-R Gr.4 [Power Ratio : 96% > 97%]

👍

 

[Downhill Dino]

・Alfa Romeo 4C Gr.4 [Power Ratio : 100% > 103%] [Weight Reduction Ratio: 111% > 109%]

That's a dangerous game they're playing.

 

[BLiTZ]

Finally the Gr.4 GT-R gets a bump!

 

[bmxmitch]

Corvette new META, yay.....

 

[tofuhero]

So happy that the 4C Gr.4 finally got a boost. Hopefully it'll be competitive once again.

 

[ASH32]

Corvette new META, yay.....

Maybe but Lexus cars were not bad before, now there is a new one and a boosted GR4 one, they are in with a shot.

The 4C could go back to OP again too on some tracks with those changes, it seems a bit much.

 

[VeeDoubleU]

Biggest thing is the fuel change. M4 no longer OP?

 

[sabamber]

This was unexpected, I would have thought they would leave them alone so close to official season, save the fuel adjustments. Oh boy I hope they got it right.

Corvette looks good now

 

[Robben]

And weight increase and power reduction! Won't see an M4 again now

Looks very good but if they changed the fuel consumption too, maybe not. We'll see.

I think the gr4 alfa might be okay though because they added weight. Subaru could be very good gr3 also.

 

[Alpha Cipher]

That's a dangerous game they're playing.

I'd love to drive the most beautiful Gr. 3 in the game tho

 

[watashi49uk]

Since the update, my T500 steering wheel no longer works! Has anybody else experienced this?

 

[sabamber]

I'd love to drive the most beautiful Gr. 3 in the game tho

Oh no doubt

 

[Finflash]

And weight increase and power reduction! Won't see an M4 again now

Isn't it lighter now?

 

[Nuschel01]

Isn't it lighter now?

106% is more than 104% afaik

 

[sabamber]

Isn't it lighter now?

It’s expressed as percentage of “base” weight, so it used to be 104% of the base, now its 106%, therefore heavier.

 

[VeeDoubleU]

106% is more than 104% afaik

However it is 'Weight Reduction Ratio', so the higher it is, the more weight that is removed. Hence, at 104%, the car actually has more weight, then at 106%.

Weight reduction is a typo if anything

Please go to the tuning settings and set the weight of a car to 90% weight "reduction" and then to 110%

Ah okay

Rather stupid of Polyphony to call it 'Weight Reduction Ratio', as opposed to 'Weight Ratio'. Reduction is a negative term, which should indicate higher values being less weight, aka, more of a reduction.

 

[inri]

That's a dangerous game they're playing.

theres no doubt it's the fastest at brands hatch now. but it shouldnt be too strong everywhere else

 

[tofuhero]

Did a quick 3 lap custom race on Maggiore with professional AI with the Alfa Gr.4, had no problems keeping up and finishing 1st with a 5 second lead. Car handled great, but plenty of power. Lovely.

 

[Crazy Taylor]

Weight reduction is a typo if anything

As well as a generalisation instead of saying increase/decrease.

 

[Robben]

Still, no one should misinterpret "106% weight reduction" as that would result in a negative value.

 

[VeeDoubleU]

No. It says 'ratio' so 100% would be the same. Anything higher should be less weight.

If it only said "weight reduction", then you'd be right, you can't have more than 100% in that case. But it says "weight reduction ratio", so it is a ratio change to the current weight.

 

[HellzFire]

Im very afraid about the Corvette C7. It was already a beast of a car...

The death of the m4 tho... so good.

 

[Robben]

But if the 'reduction ratio' is over 100% it becomes positive (i.e an increase).

 

[VeeDoubleU]

But if the 'reduction ratio' is over 100% it becomes positive (i.e an increase).

If the reduction ratio is more than 100%, it should theoretically be less weight, as anything over 100% would be "more of a reduction"

It would become 'positive', but as it is for reduction, and not promotion, it means the reduction is positive. Hence positive reduction, negative promotion, so more reduction, less weight.

That's what it should be anyway. But isn't.

Maybe think of it the other way. If it was 'Weight Increase Ratio', anything over 100% should be more weight, as 100% in a ratio would be the same. Anything less would be a negative increase, hence a decrease. This is the opposite case of a Weight Reduction Ratio.

It should just say 'weight ratio'
