Why does 3rd get a bigger penalty than 1st and 2nd?
Infineon is too fast and flat. Oh, how I miss Complex String..
why not make them their own class?
1308 x 1.8 = 2354cc, so there's for the NA rotaries, if a power adder is used...
1308 x 1.8 x 1.7 = 4002cc, there's your power adder rotary size.
Personally, I've never heard of a car will a full racing rollcage, that still has its interior intact. So if no weight reduction is allowed, neither should the rollcage.
In the same manner as with allowing high downforce, the reasoning behind using N3 Road tires is completely defeated. But even if we allowed your obscene weight reduction (read: near-total bodywork dry carbon replacement worth $100,000), we'd stray away from the event's purpose and realism: the number of touge competitors that would do such a feat is zero.
Never think of weight reduction as something as simple as running a hot knife through butter. The first stage of weigh reduction for 1500kg (give or take) vehicles in the game will instantaneously make it road-illegal and place it in race car territory. Even Stage 3 weight reduction is stretching reality for first-class race cars...
As far as weight reduction for the touge division goes, I don't see any need for any restrictions per-se. Again, the tires present their own limitation. If a tuner decides he WANTS to rip the car down, fine, but on N-tires it's almost always going to result in a car that's slower due to loss of traction.
Or within the budget, I honestly can't see anyone spending 25 000Cr on stage 3 just to remove 40kg. Oh wait, there isn't any budget for Phase 2![]()
