PP generator

Has anybody come up with a way of predicting stock pp for cars that are not in the game yet, like for example the ariel atom v8's pp?

It would be tricky, given it's based on lots of numbers, many of which we probably couldn't get access to. I'd suspect your best bet is to predict it based on a similar car in the game.

But that's not necessarily that easy either. In the case of the Atom, for example, most cars with a similar weight have much smaller engines, which produce less power low down, and which means the PP number will be lower automatically.

I used to have a formula to estimate the cars PP but I forgot some of it. Here's what I remember:

Performance Points = Weight / BHP x 10 (Given PP value may be off by 70 or so pp)

Or at least the equation was something like this.

Off topic:
Why is everyone hung up on the Ariel Atom? Is it a very cool and fast car? Yes. But there's little or no racing purpose for it in Gran Turismo. To me, it's that simple. If there were several other like cars to it that could be raced against it, I would want it too.

On topic:
Not yet. Would be a good project though.

Except powerband and downforce also needs to be taken into account. It's why high level race cars lose PP when given a turbo on occasion.

The equation I provided is for cars without aftermarket aerodynamic parts that effect the PP value. Soon I'll get a new equation that will work with all cars (those maths lessons in school are really paying off 👍 ).

For what purpose?

I like it. But Go karts. What did PD do to Go Karts? And why can't I drive one in a seasonal on the Go Kart track? Oh PD, I love you so much but sometimes I just wanna .......

Oh on topic, maybe manufacturers can add that stat to their sales brochures.
"And now, presenting the all new Chevy Volt, with an electric engine and an approximate PP number of 382."

I wouldn't bother calculating the PP for a go-kart because it wouldn't able to beat anything in it's Performance Points range.

No one knows the PP formula outside of PD, and it will probably remain that way until PD gives out the info, or someone looks inside the disk.

It does seem strongly related to power/weight, you can see this in the mygranturismo car list when you sort by PP. power/weight is a good easy estimate.

Why do you need similar cars? All you need is one model to hold a race, there's also no reason why the Atom could race the other 1000 cars in GT5.
