Well i think of it like playing a mobile level system game for example lets same both cars have 200 points of downforce on the rear but the Jaguar has Level 1 downforce whille the Peugeot has Level 5 etc . But thats the most simple way i can explain it im not even gonna try getting technical and stuff
.Can’t speak about downforce levels as I’ve not really looked into it. But mechanical grip alone will be much better on the 908. Power levels of the Group C cars in ‘stock’ form are 150-200bhp more than the real examples. For example the XJR-9LM in game has over 900bhp. The real car has closer to 720bhp.
They may APPEAR to be the same but they aren't. If you know anything about motor racing, you'd know that Group C cars are greatly inferior compared to the modern LMP1's in terms of downforce. The Group C cars aren't able to go through the corners quickly, but in conjunction with the high power output, they can go really fast on the straights. Overall, the modern prototypes are faster because they take the turns quicker than the Group C cars, which cancels out the straight line deficit. The Group C cars have downforce levels closer to GT3, whilst the modern ones have downforce levels closer to a Formula 1 car. In fact, the Group C cars probably have less aero efficiency than a GT3 car.
Group C cars could produce a load of downforce but not so much in their Le Mans config. Am sure they are a lot less than the TS050 for example . But if we take for example the XJR-9. You can get some data here: http://www.mulsannescorner.com/aerodatabasejaguarxjr-9.html
