yeah C6R had worse tyres and a caveman aero compared to new gte cars, but had about 80hp more, about 100kg less and roughly +400Nm to compensate.
You know, old GT2 cars had a standard 1245kg min. weight because had to stay as far as possible from GT1, but now that GTE is top GT class, why keep that weight? it's simply senseless.
I may understand that increasing power from about 520hp to 600hp may lead to reliability and fuel miliage issues, but why these cars can't simply be lighter?
