Just wondering how PD comes up with the levels for PP. I mean the X2011 is only 995 at best, and I don't think anything below ~200. The best answer I could find is "HP in relation to weight and downforce" but I was thinking there was some formula that PD uses.
 
Weight, weight distribution, base tire grip, horsepower, torque, torque curve, aerodynamic efficiency and downforce.

Possibly more things, and at least one more unknown attribute; plus note that the weight distribution calculation is heavily flawed in particular.

Tire compounds are not an influence either but one of the best performance enhancers.

If/when leader boards arrive then tired need to be taken into account to avoid a situation of everyone hot lapping with them.

It would ruin it for me to have to run with super sticky tires every time.

Would make match making better too if it would deter everyone running them.

And age.
 
Actually, you can have more of the good stuff and less of the bad than a youngling and hit the same PP.

Silver racers FTW!

Just a heads up, the PP system is far from perfect. It does a good job of showing which cars perform at about the same level, but if you want to see if Car A performs better than Car B, PP isn't the best way to go about finding your answer.

I know. No car can truly be defined by it's spec sheet, and PP is just a number that puts cars in a very general order.
