Actually that seems logical with that much torque. You loose a lot of grip when you go away from 50/50.. just cant put the torque to the road and thus such big differences. 0/100 has the weight on pulling wheels and thus so much faster than 100/0..
Indeed. See Fezzik's posts in the GTWS thread:
You are completely mistaken if you think Gran Turismo 7 Gr3 cars are faster than real world GT3 cars. Polyphony Digital heavily nerfs the virtual cars, and the lap times at Spa Francorchamps prove it. Real world GT3 series and GT7 use entirely different Balance of Performance targets. In real life, under official SRO regulations, cars are tuned to run between 530 and 560 brake horsepower. In GT7, following the massive class wide balance overhauls, the game aggressively chokes engine output. For instance, the McLaren 650S Gr3 is severely restricted to just 474 brake horsepower. That means real world cars carry a massive 60 to 100 horsepower advantage over the game. Because of this horsepower gap, GT7 cars stall out significantly earlier on Spa massive straights. A real modern GT3 car easily clears 275 to 285 kilometers per hour on the Kemmel Straight before braking for Les Combes. Fire up a Gr3 car in a BoP Time Trial in GT7, and without a massive slipstream from another car, you will struggle to hit 265 to 270 kilometers per hour. The digital cars simply lack the top end. This directly impacts the lap times. In competitive real world GT3 racing at Spa, professional drivers routinely qualify and log elite race laps in the 2:14 to 2:15 bracket. When you lock down a Gr3 car under official BoP rules in GT7 on a standard set of tires, average good community lap times sit way back at 2:18 to 2:20. Even highly skilled players max out around the 2:17 mark. A real GT3 car is consistently 2 to 4 seconds a lap faster around Spa because it can actually accelerate out of corners. Polyphony Digital scales the horsepower down to the 450 to 490 range to fix a fundamental problem with video game physics and player behavior. A game player can extract way more from a physics engine because they can play for hundreds of hours per week, whereas real GT3 drivers actually do not even drive much, except for a few very busy professionals. Go ahead and ask the top drivers in the GT7 community how many thousands of hours they have played the game. Their seat time is astronomical in comparison to even a real life pro driver, never mind a fast amateur who only gets on track a few times a year. Because gamers can grind thousands of laps to perfectly exploit momentum physics, the developers lowered the power to prevent the cars from breaking traction too easily and spinning out. Lowering the power acts as a buffer for the lack of physical motion feedback. It makes the game highly playable on a PlayStation controller, but it actively breaks the simulation. If you want to drive a real 550 horsepower GT3 car with accurate lap times, you have to play a dedicated simulator like Assetto Corsa Competizione or iRacing. GT7 Gr3 class is essentially a detuned, slower category by comparison.
I don't think road cars feel that different, kind of just like they've been bumped up a couple tyre compounds. There's something weird with the steering though, like you can saw through corners and keep turning past the point you should be scrubbing off speed.
In all honesty, might have made a typo or 2, difficult to type when banging head against wall at the same time. Hopefully this'll help a few people maybe..
EDIT: forgot to say, looks like GR3 n 4 are the same as before, but only checked a couple of cars.
It probably doesn't affect the launch, but rather the wheels in motion after a certain speed. If 100% of the power goes to the front, it's pulling over 5,000lbs on just two wheels, so it'll no doubt struggle to get up to speed.
Now that I think about it - that is exactly what it does. As it has separate motors front and back, it cant move the power from one axel to another, it can just restrict one of the motors. 😆 So works exactly as it should. Front 166kW and read 282kW - hence the difference in acceleration 0-100 vs 100-0.
I think this is more that they want a big distinction between "difficulty assist" and "car setting", and they see player transmission choice as purely the former.Kinda lame PD basically split the Hyundai "automatic and manual" EV drive modes between the 5 N and 6 N via the car selection themselves instead of allowing it to be chosen via using automatic or manual before a race*
*though I get the feeling they kinda boned themselves by allowing the player to change shift assist during the race itself. I assume it's simply not possible under the current circumstances without re-doing a bunch of code or something
