What should the best tire we use for Season 3 be?

500 cv is more than hp.

Well, Anthony has been competitive... And the limit has been at 502Hp, so it can't be too much of a advantage.
 
It all depends if he's running the french unit of measurement, or if it's the equivalency of 'PS'. This is from wikipedia-
In French (Cheval-vapeur), Italian (Cavalli Vapore), Spanish (Caballos de vapor), and Portuguese (Cavalo-vapor), CV is the equivalent to the German, PS. It is also used as the French term for the Pferdestärke, but in French, this should be written in lowercase letters as cv.

He used lower case letters, so the French definition, I believe.
 
It's likely. 500cv is 493bhp it seems.
 
It all depends on how the game converts it. If we run in a room that's 502hp limit, there's no reason he should be at less or more power than what the room allows him. Regardless if it's PS, CV, KW etc.
 
Hmm...I remember Anthony bringing up an issue last season with some cars being over powered. Looks like this is the culprit. It's honestly never been an issue for me before. I guess the OP has to be revised now to make sure the correct units are being used and converted.
 
That's not good. I wasn't even winning against a full power Ant :(

That is my point, I dind't know because I never saw that I use CV...

There's your problem right there :lol: Next week you will be unstoppable :dopey:
 
I don't think that's the case. It's likely they get the same power as everyone else because the room is set to a power limit. It's up to that person's car to hit that limit, regardless of the power unit. If I go to an international room, I never see on the regs 500cv or 500KW or 500PS as a limit on the power. Even in Japanese and German rooms.
 
I have seen that before Seth ;).

I have seen many spainish rooms with 500cv etc and a few German ones with ***Kw.

I was in a room one time where the host was French. It was in CV.
 
I can fix this, Ant I'll make a room limit it to 502bhp for you and unlimit your engine until it goes red.

So, I think the easiest solution would be to do this;

Give DP cars 2 more HP, so they're at the room limit. Then Anthony could just put his car on the limit- problem solved!
 
Yes Polar :).

Yea that would be way easier. Not that 2 hp is that big of a deal :lol: Every bit counts though.
 
For next season you should also put GTs to a room limit to check all cars for legality 👍. Before anyone says stuff about trust etc, every series does it ;).

Yea, probably should....

Was that wink face hinting at something??
 
1 CV = 1.01387 HP so if he's running 500 CV he's basically got MORE power, not less. It'd equal 506.9hp and if the room is 502hp and he runs 502CV that means he'll be running 508.9hp... 1 CV (cavallo vapore) = 735.49875 watts, 1 HP = 754.6999 watts. You do the math if mine is wrong.

My brain hurts :dopey:
 
I may be wrong, so that's why I said someone else do the math. It's all confusing. Either he's got 507hp or 493hp, there's not too much difference from 500hp.
 
Seth I'm afraid you are wrong..

http://www.ehow.com/how_7618375_convert-horsepower-cv.html

The units "horsepower" and "CV" are both measurements of power. CV, short for "cheval vapeur" (essentially, horsepower in French) is itself just another name for the metric horsepower. By contrast, horsepower in the United States is based on the British system of measurement. Horsepower and CV are very close in value. One horsepower is equal to about 1.01 CV; thus, it is slightly larger. For a scientific conversion, a calculator is handy.

There is more in the link.

Edit: I love math etc. So my brain is cool with this convo :dopey:.
 
7 bhp less makes a difference 5 bhp back in the Camaro seemed to make it alot better.
 
I doubt that it's as serious with the R92. I had 490hp in the 787B and did fine on the straights at Daytona which is arguably the fastest track bar LeSarthe and Monza. He's always been fast on the straights with the Nissan. Not all these 'DP' cars are equal with the same power. I think with less power you should be able to control the car better, and also get more tire life (haven't noticed that from Anthony tbf). That's a big reason people didn't want me to be in the 787B, plus it was a bit lighter.
