I edited the thread title as i will do more than just the Alfa vs. Alpine "Test".
Alfa vs. Alpine // Red vs. Blue // Italy vs. France
Hi, i did a little test with the Alfa 4C '14 and the seemingly relatively similar Alpine A110 '17.
(I'm not the greatest driver, would be DR:B is i was still online and i'm golding a bit more than half of the online Time trials. If a car is slow i can be relatively consistent.)
Both are two little MR cars, lightweight and in my eyes pretty to look at. Who wouldn't like one of these in there real life garage?
I did my testing at Tsukuba (stock + 550PP + 600PP) and then branched out to use those cars at the 550PP events of the Clubman Cup+.
Tsukuba - stock settings, SH tires:
Alfa Romeo 4C, 530PP, 175kW@6000rpm, 350Nm@2000rpm, 950Kg ---> PB: 1:04,239 Optimum: 1:04,135
Alpine A110, 528PP, 185kW@6000rpm, 320Nm@2000rpm, 1.103Kg ---> PB: 1:04,395 Optimum: 1:04,107
Tsukuba - 550PP, SH tires:
Alfa Romeo 4C, 550PP, 190kW@6100rpm, 357Nm@4100rpm, 954Kg ---> PB: 1:02,924 Optimum: 1:02,836
Alpine A110, 550PP, 208kW@6200rpm, 347Nm@5100rpm, 1.106Kg ---> PB: 1:02,958 Optimum: 1:02,783
Tsukuba - 600PP, SM tires:
Alfa Romeo 4C, 600PP, 233kW@6000rpm, 426Nm@4100rpm, 953Kg ---> PB: 0:59,882 Optimum: 0:59,838
Alpine A110, 600PP, 233kW@6000rpm, 402Nm@5100rpm, 1.104Kg ---> PB: 1:00,457 Optimum: 1:00,352
First Conclusion:
The Alfa 4C at stock settings drives superb. Very smooth ride, feels like a very planted FR car. The Alpine is much more all over the place and drives like a typical GT MR car.
At 550PP i tried a custom suspension with pretty standard/medium settings. Both feel relatively close to each other.
At 600PP the bad habits of the Alpine come out again and with my limited skill level it starts to lose time against the Alfa. Both cars could use a little more downforce at 600PP. Alfa is understeering mid corner, Alpine is oversteering at braking which can look cool if you know what you are doing (i don't).
Clubman Cup+ (550PP only):
A nice selection of events for 550PP cars are: High Speed Ring, Tsukuba and Tokyo Central.
High Speed Ring:
Alfa 4C ---> race time: 4:14,8 best lap: 1:21:5
Alpine A110 ---> race time: 4:14,7 best lap: 1:21:2
Tsukuba:
Alfa 4C ---> race time: 5:23,8 best lap: 1:03:4
Alpine A110 ---> race time: 5:26,8 best lap: 1:03:6 (only 4th place!)
Tokyo Central:
Alfa 4C ---> race time: 7:26,1 best lap: 1:28:0
Alpine A110 ---> race time: 7:24,6 best lap: 1:27:5
Both transmissions where set a bit too short for High Speed Ring, but it shouldn't matter much. Alfa is much better at the technical Tsukuba Circuit when you have to steer around those AI cars. Alpine was a pleasure at Tokyo Central.
After initially i liked the Alfa more at Tsukuba i would go with the Alpine for faster, flowing tracks. Also, it has 7 gears vs. the Alfa's 6.
Do what you like with the info. I can't motivate myself for other things you can do in GT7 by now, so i will do little Track/Event/Car tests like this one. Maybe i'll make a video. The next idea is already laid out:
