A BX with 500hp? sure, why not :lol:
Rampage in the FJ40 is definitely the new Willy hellcat :dunce:
Looking forward to the Giulia in the 86GT though....

These 4 could be interesting. I'm thinking that Polo, and the Citroen may surprise.
 
I will fit the Audi 5-pot to the BX and Giulia engine to the 86 and down tune them to a more sensible output so they seem like more modest, feasible swaps. In my mind, at 300hp it's a breathed on Audi S2 unit and the Giulia at 280hp is a turbocharged normal V6.

I’m definitely curious about how those new swaps feel on the X-Bow and the Mono. They already were pretty awesome to drive with their stock engines, so I bet they’ll get even more insane.

Was hoping they put the Celica WRC motor in the GR Corolla & Yaris or the K20C1 in the BAC Mono. But the demon V8 is diabolical 😑 PD running out of ideas?

Pretty dumb array of swaps, lots of 'hurr-durr silly power' picks again.

It's going to be another skip month.

I got poo emoji for suggesting it was more silly swaps being added, but these high power ones in tiny cars are absolutely asinine in a game where at times it won't let you tune a CVT equipped car for supposed realism.

A possible 788 bhp in an FF BX, or Polo, is ludicrous. The only BX that could possibly be able to cope with that amount of power is the 4TC, but we don't have that in the game.

Engine swaps like these need drivetrain swaps too.

The BX one detuned to 280hp is actually quite sweet for a few hot laps. I find I can justify some of the swaps by running less power than the race engines came with.
 
I think this is an okay list of updates / swaps. The Quattro Pikes Peak engine in an FF is pretty iffy though. Way too much torque for an FF drive train. Will definitely have a lot of wheelspin if you don't downtune.

I've been thinking if that could be an unannounced Spec III feature...?
Click to expand...
That would be a helluva feature to keep hidden. Seeing as that would be a HUGE deal, I think they might have mentioned it in their list of upcoming changes. I hope I'm wrong.

I haven't updated the first post yet (as evidenced by the "Updated: August 28/v1.62" part) because we've been slightly busy with the rest of the news coming at the back end of the week.

Apologies! I’m so used to the list immediately being up to date I didn’t realize it was a v behind. Appreciate the list (check it religiously) and excited for spec 3!
 
I won the R26B-787B some time ago but haven’t decided which car to molest yet. Any suggestions? Would like something thats fun, fast and driveable in 700 pp races. Was maybe thinking about my shiny new zero milage RX-7 FC…

A while ago, I used the engines to make Rolex RX-8 GT replicas. Fun times.

I did a trial run of the 2009 season. We have the cars for the GT class('09 C6, 996, F430, M3, RX-8 - no Pontiacs though). I used the Group C cars detuned with period DP liveries). I liked being lapped by the "DPs".

2009/2010 Rolex Grand Am Sports Car series

Basic set up Daytona Prototype: 500BHP/1030kg 2010 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP RX-8 can be adjusted to 450BHP/1215kg, if AI are struggling at high speed circuits.

A year ago I had revisited this Rolex set up using the Toyota GT-One(tuned to about 605 BHP) instead of the Peugeot. With SOPHY it should run much better.

I stick with Group A as it’s cheaper and most diverse in what cars I put together for whatever region of a series(DTM, JTC, ATCC, BTCC, ETCC). Super Touring(using the road cars) are my next most used cars for the same reasons.

  • The Mazda Roadsters are too light to make much use of the engine.
  • The Mazda RX7 FC handles fairly well but lacks stability and only has 5 gears.
  • The Mazda RX8 is similar but has 6 gears.
  • The Mazda RX7 FD is more stable thanks to extra rear downforce but also has 5 gears.
  • The RE Amemiya FD handles well but weighs more.
  • The Atenza Gr.3 Road Car is quite heavy and comparatively understeer-y.
  • The Mazda 3 has 4WD which gives it a huge advantage, though it's maybe less fun than the others because there's no challenge.

Personally I'd say you'll get the best results from the FD RX7 or the Mazda 3, but it's up to you at the end of the day.

Thanks for a very thorough reply! I like the idea of highly overpowered Mazda 3, but I also very much like to drive the FD. Will see. At least its just about credits now, can always buy another engine, however expensive. Was worse before when you only could win them randomly (and rarely).

If you’re not 100% sure on what to go with, then here’s my suggestion, wait.

We’re only a week out on Spec III and if it does what every other update does and adds new engine swap options, then there’s a chance another car gets the 4 Rotor as an option. ;)
