These are some of the measures introduced over the years; - They run a much higher min weight - They have a raised ride height - Additional weight placed above the engine for COG purposes - Forced by regulation less than ideal location for the ballast box - Reduced boost in 1st gear - Longer 1st gear ratio I dont honestly know how much of this is still active since its never made totally clear to the public what is going on, sadly.

I know all that and it doesn't change my point. Trying to balance radically different cars is always going to be a minefield so just ditch the outlier and concentrate on balancing cars that have a great deal more in common with each other.

BOP looked pretty good at LeMans so as a concept it can work

Not really, Lee has been talking about it on his socials for weeks. This is not not going to happen, as confirmed by the team owner. Lees just a bit deluded I think.

I had to Google the name and he has achieved nothing of note or has competed in any of the serious top level esports championships. A few public races on GT7 isn't going to cut it. Unless he is sitting on a fortune, or has plans to acquire one very quickly, this sounds like a pipe dream. Plenty of talented real life and sim drivers cannot make it happen....

I think it was Tim who said at Oulton they have a rule this year that any loose bodywork at all can result in a black and orange flag. I understand the safety consideration but in terms of the effect on the racing and the entertainment value, it is unfortunate to have this at the same time they have become much stricter on track limits and also seem to be somewhat more relaxed about contact. If the drivers have to stay fully on track and can rub a bit when they get past then there will regularly be little bits of loose bodywork, won't there?

Halfway through the season already!
Biggest surprise for me is PMR, what ever work they did over the winter is clearly paying off. Both drivers have finished every race AND scored points, no one else has scored points in every race. ATS is up in 7th in the standings ahead of Morgan, Moffat, Chilton, Huff, Rowbottom and Watson - thats pretty impressive. I like the increased hybrid power available. I think its just at the right level, not enough that a pass is guaranteed but it is just enough to pull alongside and they can fight it out into the next corner. Tyre options are too much though - I think we could go back to just having 1 tyre available. |

I agree, I wish more was made public, if the 1st gear limiting was still in place, couldn't they just start in 2nd and gear it accordingly ?
