So I was watching Practice session on Daytona yesterday and said to myself - hey let me check how it is in GT6. :)

Very close.

The first car was in 45.500 (at the point I stopped watching) averaging nearly 200mph.

I got the same results more or less. Down-force to minimum, no limiter and racing hard tires.

So thumbs up there. 👍

I was surprised that the top speed wasn't ridiculous as other cars. Air resistance seems to be working with this car but with all others there seems to be no "air wall" at some point - keeps going and going...well we all saw it already so not elaborating on that.

Yeah I saw it later. The excitement got me and I quickly run to tell everyone that there is something good in GT6 :p

Anyway - still pretty close.

the only thing they got right is drafting. lol. but it's still pretty fun to run laps at Daytona none the less.
 
Unfortunately, it's not if it's running stock. It's still 905hp, just gears are different.
