Okay, so an extra 30 seconds needs to be made up between the difficulties roughly by the looks of it. That's...a lot even at the 'ring.Hard, same goes for these too:

My race was on Hard, so his P1 times in the race results I posted above would be his Hard times. 👍Maybe we can start a list of cars under 550pp that are potential winners for both Normal and Hard difficulties.
Does anyone know Gallo's race times between the two difficulties so we can compare?
This thread made me want to find out for myself how biased this race is. Just like the other Clubman Cup 600s, that crazy Alfa just doesn't make any sense. Every race boils down basically ignoring all the other AI cars and focusing on passing it while it incompetently takes corners, only to get obliterated on the straights and have to put up with it all over again.
Regardless, I went and built a GTI specifically for this race because I wanted to take down some exotics in a FWD, and knew it would be a little bit more of a challenge. I see now that @specops did it in a 535PP Renault, so this 590PP GTI seems like overkill in comparison. It easily got around every car but the Alfa by Youtube corner, but I hadn't even seen it at this point. It took until that point on the next lap to catch him, and a couple corners to pass, but I didn't build enough of a gap and he blitzed me on the straight which forced me to do an aggressive dive on it in the final corners. With some suspension tuning and not going in the grass twice it may have been a more solid victory.
So, yeah, it's definitely doable in a sub-600 car, and even closer to 500, but it's still ridiculous. I might have to copy specops R5 and see how it goes.
Oh yes, I'm very familiar with the R5 Turbo and the later Clio V6. I've always had a love for them.This was something that I had on my list too, so I need to point out: my Renault 5 is not FWD. It's the rally homologation MR model.
While the easier settings are easier on average, the time delta between fast and slow AI times per difficulty are already huge enough to make a car a "sometimes" win in case it is barely competitive.Which difficulty were you on?
Possibly, yes. But then you'd have to argue that Gallo is held up more on lower difficulties too.While the easier settings are easier on average, the time delta between fast and slow AI times per difficulty are already huge enough to make a car a "sometimes" win in case it is barely competitive.
It might even be more difficult on lower settings because the other AI cars are blocking you for much longer.
Almost all races have cars that are incredibly slow to no reason compared with its leading AI, maybe they thought this is more realistic, or maybe they thought this increases fun, or maybe this is just a way to make sure players have a shot at 3rd place which often is enough to clear the menu books.Meanwhile, the slowest car in the race is barely hitting 135mph on the main straight. Come on PD...what is this ****? It's not even plausible that the Giulia in this race is meeting the supposed entry criteria.
