That's just not true. I've already proved it false, several times today.
And you passed me in one of Pigems' lobbies with a move from a mile back - at the Red Bull Ring if I remember right - doesn't make you quicker does it?!*
There's a reason the top splits are TS050 fests, if the 962 could really compete with the Toyota then they'd be there too - but they aren't. Zocker did some races on his stream, didn't see one 962 in the six line ups and results I flicked through and the only non-hybrid that even got respectable finishes was the Peugeot 908. You can have fun in the 962 in some mid lobbies, and I'll have some with some Group C cars on my alt account no doubt. But my main, when I race in dailies I'm normally in one of the top splits, the 962 would get eaten alive by Toyotas.
And that was my point, the 962 was being paraded as a viable alternative to the TS050, but it's absolutely nowhere near it if you want ultimate race pace. For a 962 to beat a Toyota, the 962 driver has to be much better than the Toyota driver, similar levels and the Toyota will win out - providing there are no mistakes
*The move did make me smile when I saw you going for it. I thought "cheeky 🤬, been in a lobby with him for 30s and already he's launching one up the inside from somewhere in Germany"!! Fair play though, you made the corner fine 👍
Gonna try the Toyota now, I really like driving this car.
I did a few races today at SR B in the XJR-9, grids were way more diverse and pretty clean. Only 1 TS050 in my last lobby, people know how to have fun.
It might be down to SR more at risk with very little to gain. One SR down is enough for red. That's also a good thing, SR points should be harder to earn and cherished to encourage cleaner racing.
I don't recall that at all. I was probably hammered. Sorry. Sounds like a silly move.And you passed me in one of Pigems' lobbies with a move from a mile back - at the Red Bull Ring if I remember right - doesn't make you quicker does it?!*

I've never tried. Can you match the cornering of the hybrid?
Same fuel and tire multipliers as well.Woah! 5 laps of LeMans in Gr.1 cars on RH tires?
Polyphony your creativity knows no bounds.
I would take that challenge, I have beaten many A+ drivers in the 962 while they have been in hybrids. I can usually get pretty close to the podium or on the podium starting from the back, and I’m no Alien. The car is plenty capable, much more than just a novelty.Ok so what’s the challenge?
What DR lobby is too high to have any chance of podium with a group c? Iyo?

In case anyone may not know this man can drive.
Great time for Petronas last week man
Imo the only prob you have in c cars is dirty drivers in hybrids but tcs pretty much solves that. You can take some contact and not spin off that way.
How long is a piece of string?Ok so what’s the challenge?

LM55 is very good around Le Mans, nearly as good as GOTMAXPOWER! Who is stupidly quick around there, he's quick everywhere but at Le Mans he's a bit special.I don't recall that at all. I was probably hammered. Sorry. Sounds like a silly move.
I wasn't talking about top lobby racing though. I race on my alt account 95% of the time. I normally race without a Q time, so I normally stay at DR B.
The fastest driver I ever have to race is GOTMAXPOWER, in the Friday night lobby. Last time we raced at LeMans, he did beat me (he's extremely good in that race), but I had the lead, until I blew it at the Porsche curves on the last lap.
He was in a TS050, and I think I was in the LM55.

I race on my main. I qualify in the Gr C. I even got pole a few times.This discussion about group C cars is funny for me. Some of you guys saying "I take group C car, it is fun, blah blah, toyota is boring blah blah" yeah right... So why you create alt accounts? I got one account, and every time I race I wanna be as fast as possible, real fun is winning, not only participating... And for me someone whos saying that he race for fun,not winning, lies.. Dont get me wrong, its not about win at all cost but why make things harder and choose worse car? What is "fun" in creating alt account where youre matched with people with much lower skills and then beat them in xjr for example? If it is for "fun" as some of you saying, use your main account which you using fo FIA races, be a man, take a risk! Or just dont lie to yourself and others...
I race for fun. On my main. My alt is for events with high SR risk so I don't worry about any of that. Like the karts.This discussion about group C cars is funny for me.

Thats ok, I respect that. What car are you using?I race on my main. I qualify in the Gr C. I even got pole a few times.
Unfortunately I got punted by a hybrid as soon as they could... But I still enjoy the race.
So you do worrie, bigger risk bigger fun I thinkMy alt is for events with high SR risk so I don't worry about any of that.
So you do worrie, bigger risk bigger fun I think
787Thats ok, I respect that. What car are you using?
Thats obvious that if race be one lap C cars are better/faster, in TS050 i did 3,24.5xx in practice, and 3,23.6xx in 908... Same as R18 is best for Q in which I did 3,23.373, in race looses advantage beacause of fuel... As I said previous post, before BoP update I was using 908 for race all the time... Now it is pointless..787
Edit: by the way, I am 2 seconds faster in the 787 than in the TS050
