I think a database of lap times of the AI in each of the top cars (The fastest one) they drive for each event would be of amazing help in allowing us to use a car that is reasonably equal to them, rather than having to guess or end up overpowering them because you'd THINK you need something similar (but you don't!).

I'm not necessarily OCD enough to put this together all by myself (!), but maybe the Mods could create a sticky where we post these times as we play the events...? I'm already up to the Endurance series, so I've gone a bit too far, but those starting, and those in the middle could sure help out...

Anybody like this idea?
 
This would be pretty amazing If everyone could pull it off.
👍
 
You can always make a trial attempt park your car at the side of the road and see their laptimes and try to find which of your cars is close to that.

Boring procedure but should work.

I intend to do it before starting my A-Spec endurances.
 
Be nice if there were a DB, though, just to save time...

All we need is everyone to note down the fastest lap time of the car that came second (assuming you won!) each time you do a new event (and what it was, though even THAT isn't REALLY important), and then post it here.

Then I can collate it into one big list.

C'mon folks. This has GOT to be as useful as an EXP, Cr. and reward car chart... 👍
 
I like this idea but unfortunately I only saw it after I finished three endurance races this weekend (roadster, laguna seca and indy 500). I still have the indy replay up so can give some info on that.

I used a stock Audi R8 '05, finished in 2.25.11 with a 13 lap gap. Hovered mostly around 41 seconds per lap and pitted every 34 laps (noticed no difference between softs and mediums). 2nd place Audi R8 '01 pitted every 42 laps on race mediums.

Best AI lap times: 42.6s (R8 '01 with some drafting)
"Average" laps: High 44s (R8s, C60 Hybrides)
Slowest laps: Low 46s (close to pit stops)

In the roadster race I ran mostly 1.03s on sport mediums and finished with a 19 gap or so. Car was tuned too high from the b-spec race but I didn't want to restart and setup a new one. :)

At Laguna Seca I used a ~600hp F430 and ran mostly 1.33-1.34s on sport mediums and finished in 2.20ish with a 9 lap gap (I think). If I had to guess I'd say the AI runs low 1.40s.
 
The problem is that everyone has different abilities and drives different lap times in different cars. Collecting (and organizing) all that data and lap times for every AI on every track is not a trivial task.

I have had great races by using my matchmaker spreadsheet/program. ;)
 
REALLY LONG POST

This is what I have so far, the winning car and its fastest lap are whats recorded. This was all done in B Spec, feel free to copy/use these times if anyone wants to.

The problem I have with this is the problem I have with Aspec in general:

The races aren't always the same cars so you can't know what's "overpowered" and what's not a lot of the time.
