XR GT Turbo looks like a Mitsubishi Starion, but the technical specs are Porsche 944 Turbo S. 250hp @ 6000rpm, 350Nm @ 4000rpm, 1350kg(XR GTT matches this with driver + 100% fuel) and tyres F: 225/50/16, R: 245/45/16.
the inbalance of TBO class is there since S1... I love RWD and I think I'm pretty fast with it, but what I can't stand is that someone who is less skilled than me, takes a car that is easier to drive (FXO) and is even faster GTT and beats the hell out of me... I cried for equality in this class long ago and still cry
I would make it the other way around: Harder car to drive > better times
Why should the easy car be also the fastest? I just can't understand this...
I'd say the RB4 is easiest, and it's the slowest, so that bit is right. A bit too slow mind.
FXO should at best be as fast as the GTT though, not faster (on the whole). We should be encouraging people to drive real cars.
Aston Nation is really the absolute worst track to compare anything. Two very long full throttle parts, 3 tight corners + a chicane + one midspeed. Simply not a balanced track in the first place. Most balanced tracks (and preferably the ones to do comparisons on) are Ky3 and As5.
i am yet another one who thinks this is ridiculous that the easier car to drive is the faster one. i was doing something like 60 laps on westhill the other day with XRT. let's say i needed 10, even 20 laps to get to know the track. then the other 40 was improving the times. i got under 2.00 (now dont remember exact times) so it's not that im a complete n00b. then i sat in the FXO and ... voila! beat my XRT time in 3 or 5 laps (took me so long because i was braking way to early for fxo's weight and traction!) and improved by more than a second in another 10 laps. makes me cry.
well, almost ;(
The FXO is pretty easy to drive... has a few tricky parts to it when braking... but other than that, I prefer it over the other two cars now by far....
