FGTA CAR TESTING
PROVISIONAL REPORT
As the car testing is dragging out a little (I'm sure you appreciate we are busy and do have lives away from Gran Turismo, so is taking a little while) we are going to release this provisional report on the cars now, so you all know what will be happening on Monday, and once all the testing data is complete, we will release a final report after Monday's race.
You can view all our testing times and data so far
here
Plase note, all lap times are entered in second's format to allow the spreadsheet to calculate the averages for each car on each track, and then also over every track (bottom table)
so:
A lap time of 1.00.000 would read as 60.000, 1.30.000 = 90.000 etc.
As you can see the RX7 is faster at every track with the smallest split time to the next car being .4 and on average is .3 faster over all the tracks.
You will also see we have tested it after dropping 10bhp (to 285bhp) and it is still in no way uncompetetive and will result in closer racing.
On this basis we are advising a 10bhp reduction to the RX7 ahead of Monday's race.
As you might have noticed the Subaru Impreza isn't too far off the RX7 (before power reduction) so we are doing a little more testing on that and will release our recommendation on that in our final report.
It would be good if all drivers could PM me after Monday's race with their thoughts on how the cars performed against each other.
