    Love the idea, just gonna get an unmodified MRS lol

    EDIT: all my testing was done 3 laps before I joined the lobby. (Tested Japanese cars). Personally down-tuning horsepower to get into PP regs never seems wise IMO. And mustafur did state that lap time testing was done on trial mountain where downforce is needed more and DTM cars have more downforce than GT300 in standard conifiguration.

    The whole grid of GT300 is Detuned cars, not a single car on the entire real grid isn't heavily detuned, its not unheard of in racing.

    Audi A4 engine detune 61% - 2:12.1' BMW M3 I think was about 68% - 2:11.1, Weds Lexus thing 98% - 2:09.1 without really trying too hard totally different to the other cars, nearly like driving in arcade mode.

    I don't think using pp as an equaliser really works, (actually I think it's a total load), I think in the DTM series we used to do it was done on weight and HP and it was a tuning series and everyone was pretty close in different cars on different tracks.

    Well PP is only realistic if you want engine tuning Prohibited, if you guys wouldn't mind a tuning league then i can make it much more equal.

    The Audi R8 was detuned close to the full 50% and i was able to get 2:08s, it has nothing to do with the detuning it too much.

    I think it's a difference in personal style, I found the BMW had very little front grip and no traction out of corners, the RX7 I chose had better grip and direction change and I was about 6 seconds better around Suzuka in it. I still managed to run off the track about five times in the RX7, I can't imagine how many errors I would have had in the BMW!!

    Just tried the M3 GTR at Suzuka got a 2:09.8, which is slow but still competitive if pushed i think.

    Yeah the r8 had to come way down with a noticeable loss of speed, the r8 had it in the first sector with the twisty bits but the rx7 took off in the last two.

    It is a great car to drive, and that's a lot coming from me because I struggle at Suzuka and got into the 9s.
