Isnt this car bop quite overpowered? Most of the tracks records are broken with this car. The problem is its braking power and turning capabilities are quite good for 1650 kg car. Yet it has the best acceleration in gr.4 cars.

It may be fast but it has slower acceleration than the Grp4 Megane as I smoked a Veyron into Turn 2 chicane at Monza yesterday so I don't
think it's OP, the problem I think is most people use it to set the quick laps and get good starting positions but may not actually use it in
the race itself.

Fortunate that the game has not yet given me the car as a prize otherwise I would join the bandwagon.

Monza track records are broken by bugatti.Also bugatti doesnt understeer like megane which makes it easier to drive.
 
There are a different BoP champions on each track. The Supra is todays champion on Blue Moon. Peugeot VGT is champion on Tokyo East. There are others as well.

Im talking about gr.4 not gr.3. Gr.3 is a whole different world.
 
Yep it may have less understeer but it depends what type of car you prefer, the Bugatti may have the records for the
quick laps but the experience in races may not necessarily be the same and it also depends on your driver style too,

It relates to what you are saying though. There will always be a META (most effective tactic available) car, whatever group it is. Theres mostly always one car faster than others on every track.

Lol, no; because it's a power car on a power track.

How is it on fuel & tyres? How does it fare at a track like Brands?

İt doesnt matters much when fuel and tyres on.

I dont think anyone would choose understeer over a balanced handling.

Uhmm problem is bugatti is king on most of the tracks.Meta should not be same car on every track.

Yeah it's definitely horses for courses, and for me, this horse is the one for this course.

Maybe not for everyone though.

I've mainly been using the Aston for most tracks with the TC set at 2.

I'd prefer to use no TC at all as it's notably quicker out of corners but I'm not that comfortable to keep it on the track without spinning with rear wheel drive cars using my T300....getting braver by the day though.

The Veyron being a 4WD is so easy however with the TC off allowing you to get the power down early.
This, with the high top speed makes it a popular choice on the long straights of Monza.
 
The veyron was certainly the car to use yesterday I got my dr from a low d to a high d with 3 races.

If anything, they've got to make the gtr better now. It's too heavy and it doesn't get away be very well on the straights at all. It just corners flat.

Gtr is slow on straights and not turns very well also. However its too stable which makes it perfect car for a newbie.It can use some hp buff to its bop.

My DR went up to the highest it's ever been also...mid to high B.

However after doing 6 or 7 races in a row at Monza, my SR is now at the lowest it's ever been.
Went from a 99 S down to a C!
Even after my 1st days racing on this game my SR was a B.

Got divebombed at the 1st chicane on 1st lap on one of the races and was like a pinball stuck between bumpers...had about 12 contacts with other cars in about 4 seconds.


Still love to drive Monza though even if it does infuriate me at times.

Thats not true, I think the tracks the Veyron excels at are Dragon Trail - Seaside, Monza and Blue Moon Infield, because they are power circuits. I'll point you in the direction of this thread and you'll see the Bugatti is far from top dog.
 
I only use the veyron at monza and bathurst, and the mustang/vantage are roughly as good at monza, and the megane/scirocco are arguably better at bathurst although I personally think the veyron is better in the race
 
It seem when running in long race's around 1.0 to 1.5hr the Gr.4 cars start to become more balanced.
Some are better on fuel than others, some are better at not going through tires as fast.
So what car might be king in a short race will not be near as good in a long race and it balances its self out.
 
No, I don't think it is. I got within six tenths of the best EU time at Monza, set by the Veyron, using the Megane, and I'm no alien. And the Viper was in the top 10 too. I think the herd mentality regarding 'META' cars causes a bit of an overreaction from players, as they only pick their car for a daily race based on the top 10 leaderboard, even if it is maybe only a couple of tenths quicker than the next-best option.

And unless you are an alien, you'll never be quicker in the meta car than the car you are comfortable with and can drive well

Yeah, I've smoked Veyrons with the RC F and Mustang. Outbraked them and out handled them. At Monza and the BB track. They don't impress me.
 
Hmm. Maggiore, Bluemoon, and Brands, the 86 seems to be the META. At Suzuka it becomes a mixed bag, but more on the Megane side. Dragon Trail it's the Viper. For Interlagos it's mainly 4WD cars like the GTR, Atenza, Lancer, and Huracan, but not the Veyron.

I don't know what you're talking about. The Veyron is a one-trick pony in Monza, and honestly for me the brakes are horrible. Also, while the Megane might not have "balanced" handling (I don't believe this) as the Veyron, the acceleration it gives around the corners is good enough to justify its bad handling. Why do you think it was the META for a month before it got nerfed (and buffed again)?

BoP can only work as an overall balance of performance. You could try to have a different BoP for each track but that would be a pain in the arse to do.

The WEC has used a per-track BoP since 2017 and every indication is that it has worked exceptionally well. Watch any WEC endurance race and you'll notice the commentators complimenting the BoP and how it is offering closer racing.

This is primarily an algorithm-based BoP, I believe based in part on analyzing qualifying and race lap times on each track, and would be perfect for GTS to adopt.
 
Nope, the Veyron is by miles the worst car on tyres, to put it into perspective, the Audi on Supersofts will have less wear overally than a Veyron on Mediums after the same amount of laps!

Thanks for the info! Hopefully we’ll get that kind of BoP in GTS.

I really do hope we get this kind of BoP. Not that BoP right now is bad, if anything it's quite a nice thing to have a different meta car in each track, but per-track BoP would be much better :)
They also recently hired the 3 top Japanese players to help adjust BoP, so maybe this isn't too far-fetched after all!

I wouldn't be surprised if PD doesn't do this though. We all know how we don't know how they work :)

They wouldn’t need to change BoP if they could just unlock gears (final gear/top speed) for sport mode.
