I have seen a few people wondering what will happen with the BOP because, has we all know, GR1 is really unbalanced. For that, I only really see two solutions:
- The first one, as stated by a few, will be to create a brand new category, or do a subdivision of the gr1 cars. This would allow each category to have their own BOP, tailored to their car type. (GTP, VGT, Group C, etc). This could be done using the car type feature that we have in game and adding a new car type. The only issue I see with this option is that PD would need to go back to all GR1 cars and “rebrand” each one. Creating new categories would also require the addition of different toggle and/or restriction for lobby races and an update to the single players events… Overall I think this idea is good but would probably ask for a lot of effort to have all of GR1 rework. It still could be an interesting idea for a future game.
- The second option is the one I think would make the most sense. PD could simply readjust the BOP of the GR1 cars to have them competitive inside their own car type (GTP, VGT, Group C, etc..). For example, we could have the Group C cars all BOP to be competitive together but they would be BOP differently then the GTP cars. PD already gives us event in sub category and not the full GR1/GR2 by having specific cars for said event (Group C only races, the TT at CGV in the 2016 super gt cars, etc). This could technically lead to more balance races without having to rework all the groups system.
That being said, I am very happy with this future update and I can’t wait to drive these brand new cars.😁
