GP2 Simulation?

[gtsmashbros]

Not sure if this is accurate.

1. Take F10

2. Use Power Limiter to bring it down to 650 hp

3. Use Ballast to make it 630 kg

4. Bring Downforce down to minimum

5. Use Racing hards

 

[Samus]

Not really. I did use the ballast to bring to weight up to 605kg though, I don't know why it's underweight originally.

 

[dark_ruffo]

Aren't GP2 engines producing 480HP? With 688Kg chassis plus 75Kg (average person/driver weight)?

 

[Bigbazz]

GP2 engines are over 600bhp.

 

[dark_ruffo]

GP2 engines are over 600bhp.

You right about that. A little wikipedia search brought me these results:

Weight: 688 kg (1,517 lb) (without driver).
Power Output: 612 hp (456 kW; 620 PS) @ 10,000 rpm.

the gp 2 last year got a button to gain 25 or 50bhp more... like kers from f1 or was it gp2?dont remember exactly

some gp class had this button...

Slipstream on GT > KERS

A1 Grand Prix cars used to have a PowerBoost button, is that what you're thinking of? Don't recall GP2 ever having something similar.

dont know wich gp class it was... saw it last year in tv...

bad memory sry^^

A1 Grand Prix was the series where drivers drove for their countries, rather than themselves. Ring any bells? That ended in 2009 though.

Oh no wait I know what it would have been, Superleague Formula. The one with football teams on the cars. They added a push to pass button last season.

It definitely was that.

So what do you guys think? Is it realistic?

 

[shirakawaa]

No, GP2 cars should have a peaky power curve, not with a flat spot at higher rpm.

 

[Akmuq]

Yeah that would be annoying but at least the performance is accurate.

 

[gtsmashbros]

Yeah, nothing can be done about the power curve.

 

[shirakawaa]

Yeah that would be annoying but at least the performance is accurate.

The problem is that performance would NOT be accurate.
At higher rpm it would be better than the actual cars since more power would be available on average throughout the engine operating range while racing.

 

[gtsmashbros]

True. The power curve is too steep.
