hmm balancing a car class with totally different cars to be just as fast;
I think it will be the end of lfs especially if it is done by making faster cars heavier. Also it might just not be possible to balance cars to be just as fast and have totally different designs.
A race car with rear engine 3.6 6-in-line is simply a totally different to a race car with a 2 liter turbo charged engine in the front. Its just as in real world where some designs in le mans of gtr classes simply never win. Remember for some years nobody could beat the mclaren F1 or in a lower class the dodge vipers.
Instead of making the fzr heavier of even worse to drive, maybe its a better idea to make the xrr a bit more like the fzr. try to give it a 2.5 litre 5-cylinder turbo charged engine with less turbo-lag(less pressure from the turbo). Instead of the 2 liter with a very high pressure turbo, which has so much lag i can drink a cup of coffee while waiting for the power to come in.
Also the gtr cars are already rather slow for a gtr car, making any of them heavier or something like that is a very bad idea. Improve the cars a bit which are a bit too slow and accept for example that the rb4 and fxo cant be balanced to be competitive which each other. Just like the real world. It would be nice though if the xr gt weight would be reduced by about 20-40kg. That might make the fxo and the xrgt very well matched.
Anyway, my advise: Dont try to hard to balance the cars and if you do, only by making slower cars a little bit faster.
Since this is a performance discussion something a bit offtopic: the fo8 needs a bit more power 15-30hp for example, because there is not one track where the fo8 will need maximum front or rear downforce except for the few extreme short and small tracks. Causing the fo8 often to feel like underpowered. For comparision: gp2 cars have 600hp, a1gp cars have 550hp. 550-600hp=bad idea for fo8 though but something like 470-480hp would be perfect without any other changes.
Same for the fox, real world cars like the fox have in the real world 20-30 hp more horsepower. It would make the fox a lot more fun to drive in lfs, because the fox feels currently badly underpowered.
YEAH...more power on slower cars..no extra weights
