Checking to see if anyone here has information on the big 3 group 1 cars. How well are they balanced against one another? I am curious about them with BOP on and stock tune. Are they relatively close? I realize their strengths might vary from track to track but im just talking in general. Thanks in advance.

Porsche 919
Audi R18 e-tron
Toyota TS 050

from what I remember, the Porsche is super agile through corners but lacks a little top speed. It does accelerate quite nicely though.
Audi e-tron - throw it in the trash
Toyota TS 050.....I've only driven this one a few times but I remember not liking it. I think the top speed is great but understeers compared to others.

There's an Audi R18 (not e-tron) Team Joest that I prefer to drive over the Porsche on the power tracks where top speed is vital without losing too much cornering speed. There's 2 of them, but the more recent edition (forget which year) is better on fuel.
 
Audi and Porsche are very close laptime wise and with fairly similar tyre wear and fuel consumption. If I had to pick I'd say the Audi just edges it. Toyota just has no straight line speed in comparison, fuel advantage it has doesn't make up for it's lack of pace.

Daily Race crowd the rare time Gr1 came up always went for the 919, which was fairly amusing as for the Top 24 race last month only 1 person in Europe chose it :lol: (it's also why you should always be sceptical of the Top 10 leaderboard cars).
 
I always resort to the porsche. Handling is great on DS4 and its hybrid deployment is modeled in such a way that on the "typical" GR1 races that come in sport mode (La Sarthe and Suzuka) it matches the others in top speed but out of low to medium speed cornerns the extra boost from the hybrid beats them easily
