Hello,
While racing in various road car categories, I found a type of car extremely painful.
So I'm gona rant about them
I'll take the Bentley continental super sport to illustrate the point.
I try to race it homologated and got frustrated at its inability to brake.
If you brake earlier you get rammed by AI or overtaken.
The reason are: an engine so big it sucks up all the PI points and need a restrictor, an enormous weight 2300kg)
Cars like this exist in many categories (luxury, SUV, sport touring etc...) and are really painful.
Here's how I managed to make it decent for its category:
Fit it with default parts (non homologated)
Jump to the engine to activate the restrictor
Go to the tyres and get the best authorised (for un unknown reason the front tyres were not the widest, pu them as it will increase braking)
Go to chassis and add the best brakes.
Now you need to reduce the car PI to put the weight reduction.
Here are the performance loss areas:
Aero: add the bentley front splitter, and rear wing
transmission: turn the car to RWD (you'll also gain much weight)
Now add weight reduction level 2: you are now around 1800-1900 kg. a decent weight for the category
Proceed with upgrading braking and cornering
add rollcage level 2
add light engine hood (also look good)
Ignore the suspensions and gearbox as they are not critical
Add a racing differential, you need something to manage the enormous torque of the engine since you have the default gearbox.
Also I added 20% braking power to settings, since I'm not used to brake 100% to get the result.
You're ready!
Let me know if you found a better way to fix it, or if you want to rant about another car
