Me running through the grid and what has happened so far (I know it's 3/8 weeks done.. but we have a 5 week block to finish the season so..)

No. ~Looks over at Mazda drivers in mirror~

Less weight? It seems good on the power front.

Already lightest. Power seems to be main thing I can do, but only if it doesn't become stupid fast.
 
Just get rid of it and bring back the old Atenza so there's no standard cars.

Its pretty much a monster on the straights. FC diff?

Abusing the tyres to run at that pace though, it's why you were almost a second quicker by the end of each race.

Did some practice at Apricot Hill last night and ran 25.4s same as you, I think I remember it being quite close at this track in pre season too, should be good! Tyres are going off very quickly though, only 4 laps before times start to drop off.

I should be a bit faster now that I've uncovered new tricks with the Ford.
 
The Mazda needs a better chassis. Turns like a truck.
 
I didn't find the Mazda that bad to be honest, I just couldn't be consistent with it and it hated kerbs.

Mod the game. That'll fix everything

This is the boot that Furi will be wearing if I do that.
It hurts looking at it. :nervous:

Furi'll be ok with it. He loves hybrids.

Just say you're testing the new Mazda LMP1-HY prototype and he'll bow to you :p

And he acknowledges that fun cars can be made from them, he doesn't go on about 20,000bhp hybrids at all.

In fact, he thinks hybriding is a simple way to "get the most of your GT6 experience" That's a direct quote from Furi himself

More power is not the answer, it's already a monster on the straights. I remember it pulled away from me easily once it was 100 metres out of the corner although I was a lot faster out of the turn and I was in its slipstream at Silverstone. By the end of the straight it had gained several car lengths. It's worse than the Renault in that regard.

In my opinion, the only thing you can do is give it an LSD, but then you have to restrict its power accordingly. Just adding the LSD will make it a lot faster otherwise. (I think the Peugeot RCZ gained about 0.7-1.0s on BH Indy just by adding the LSD)

More power is always the answer!
 
I agree that an LSD and marginally less power is the way to go for the revised Mazda specs.

To be fair, that Mazda was slow in the corners at Willow... I can remember I got the inside from speed before last corner... Took my line and in the two Mazdas were brave and took the outside - and they both went off in some graceful move of going crash.. BANG! :lol:
 
Out of interest, what's a good time around Nürb GP/D?
 
I think 1:36 would be a good time.
