Message: [QUOTE="LeGeNd-1, post: 12752186, member: 91639"] I definitely expected some differences. As I said in my original post unless you're comparing extremes any car in the middle spectrum is going to be influenced more by your pace/driving style/track characteristic. In this case, my driving style is more suited to MR cars so I would've worked the fronts less than you. Also Bathurst has a lot of high energy corners going downhill so a front heavy car will naturally suffer more. Whereas Monza has a few sustained long corners (Curva Grande, Parabolica, Lesmo 1) and MR cars with a light front end will slide more in these types of corners. Agree with this as well. Even underdriving one corner can have a large impact with high tyre wear rate, because of the multiplication effect. I'm definitely not saying my test is end all be all. I suppose we'll never get a concrete rating until a perfect driver drives all the cars on all tracks, and averages the rating, but ain't no one got time for that :P I find the Fuel Consumption thread to be a bit useless as well because of this. Even just shortshifting once can have a large impact on fuel saving in high multiplier races. Also some cars suffer less speed loss due to the powerband when shortshifting, so the numbers mean even less in a racing situation. It's nice for data mining geeks like me to have lists like these but often times it's quite clear what the meta car for an event is, despite what their fuel/tyre consumption says. [/QUOTE]
