v1.15 BoP update

[VeeDoubleU]

It should just say 'weight ratio'

It should yeah. Sadly it doesn't and just confuses the players.

This is the most powerful post of the day

 

[Finflash]

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

If you forget school or logic

I think this is just translation thing, not the first time japanese game.

I had to.

 

[Jamie Bbbbb]

Veeeeeery happy with buffs to the Corvette and GTR, my two favourite cars. And hopefully the new Lexus is competitive.

This was my point... the actual intention is clear when you apply just a tiny bit of logic. Either, the weight is reduced by 106% (i.e it weighs less than nothing) or it is 106% of the original value. It's clear which is the intention.

But yeah... the positions raised thing was poorly translated before... if you gained a position it would tell you 'you are now position 1, great race' after

 

[bone_tone]

I think the gr4 alfa might be okay though because they added weight

They've taken weight off - now 109% instead of 111%

 

[Crazy Taylor]

For goodness sake settle it like proper racers. On the track.

 

[City01]

Why nerf the TT for 2% !? TT has been nerf 3 times if I remember correctly.

It is my favourite car in Brands hatch GP.

So i've been told.

I tend to like mathematics but that's my problem. I like sarcasm also

Anyway the BOP seems okay Atm.

As long as the SLS GR4 hasn't been messed I'm happy

It's M4 levels on raw pace

The BoP (Balance of Performance) of the following cars has been adjusted:

Gr.3 Class
・Honda NSX Gr.3 [Power Ratio : 96% > 97%]

Gr.4 Class

・Honda NSX Gr.4 [Power Ratio : 93% > 95%]

IMPORTANT
The fuel consumption rate for the Gr.3 / Gr.4 cars has been adjusted.

https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/gtsport/news/00_3053440.html

its about time we get a more power on gr.4 is was down strait line speed, gr3 still needs a little more i think

 

[Sander 001]

Yes, bumps to both NSX's! Very enjoyable cars to drive!

"IMPORTANT

I am nervous for the Viper Gr4

I did very brief back-to-back TT sessions with both Lexus on the NurbGP daily. Old Lexus can't hang with the new one.

 

[Pedinhuh]

The Cayman is still painfully slow...

And who the hell uses the Veyron Gr4?

I like how they just say fuel consumption rates have been adjusted, but then they leave us to figure out what that means.

I'm very nervous about the Gr.3 Corvette power boost, it was already incredibly good at economy as short shifting that car hardly disturbed it, now with the power boost it'll likely be even better at economy.

Constantly adjusting the fuel consumption is getting annoying too, the main problem is that they put fuel consumption at x6 or something so cars that have more power lower in the revs naturally short shift better - which is why the M4 and Vette could remain competitive while short shifting, but cars like the Atenza who need to rev deep into the redline to maintain good speed are not competitive while short shifting.

I swear if they just opened up tuning so we could mess with gear ratios and setups a lot of these BoP problems would go away.

・BMW M6 GT3 M Power Livery '16 [Power Ratio : 98% > 96%]
・BMW M6 GT3 (Walkenhorst Motorsport) '16 [Power Ratio : 98% > 96%]

Does PD have something against the Gr3 BMWs? I mean they nerfed the Z4 a while back and now they've reduced the M6 power as well. IMO It was great the way it was. It already felt heavy, probably feels like a tank now.

・Honda NSX Gr.3 [Power Ratio : 96% > 97%]

On the flip side, I'm quite excited about this one. Can't wait to see how this car behaves now with a little power boost...though I think they should have it be more like 105% but hey it's better than nothing I guess

It's not like they were stupidly fast or something

I love the NSX too but have been driving the GT3 this morning and I think they nerfed her grip. More understeer and oversteer!

I know i have something against bmw. I hate how they made everything into a one make race. I hate how (some/most) people who use a bmw have lost the ability to race and that bmw users think they have a god given right to do what they want on the teack. Personally i hope they die off slowly, leaving only the real racers who use a bmw the right way.

I'm pretty sure that it is just that because more people overall drove the BMW's, you also have more idiots who happen to drive BMW's, and hence you notice it more. The percentage of idiots to car isn't going to be that different to other vehicles y'know.

Dayummmmmm that excites me.

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

Here comes the Vette brigade!

In the meantime, my slow 11 SLS will now get passed by everyone. Yay.

Not yet. The leaderboards (at least in US) is still filled with 911s with the occassional M6 in between...
...Until when Race C is Gr. 3

 

[Slo_Wass_Mike]

And who the hell uses the Veyron Gr4?

I tried that car on Monza and actually really took a shine to it. Good on fuel, easy on tires, and highly stable in corners. I plan on using it a lot more now but the bump to the NSX may slow my usage down a tad.

Usually you can do an even tyre strategy on fuel map 1, most tracks you could reach the halfway point of the race plus at least a lap. Now I cannot hit the halfway point of the race without fuel saving. I'm in the M4 for manufacturers champs and blue moon tonight a full tank gets you 8.8 laps (fuel map 1). Race distance is 20laps.
