Can Any ROAD CAR Beat Its RACE VERSION? 2

Can active aero, 4WD and lots of power make up for all that extra weight coming from touchscreens, electric windows, speakers and cup holders?

Well, a circuit was chosen which would really suit the racecar. Especially the fast corners where downforce is key. Try Monza or Baku. Probably suits the road car better.

[@londonproductionsrec1029]

Yea Baku!🔥

[@needude7218]

You really don't want to cherry pick a track to give a huge advantage to the road car, because that track is never going to be representative of an "average track". In the process of choosing a track to give the road car a "fair chance" all that's been accomplished is unfairly handicapping the race car.

[@ruubvanhulst]

@@needude7218 Yes, I agree and Monza isn't average, but Austria certainly isn't too on the other end of the spectrum. If you want a more respresentative track, maybe we need Imola or Miami.

Mclaren duel: the higher cornering speeds decided this duel for the race car. 3.45 seconds gap is ok. Merc duel: DTM Car had almost identical top speed +drs + aero and way better acceleration. 22.66 secs is a destruction bmw duel: close race, gt4 car got the advantage in the corners. 2.69 seconds is ok audi duel: the road car hadnt a chance against the rally car. 16.02 is a lot.

[@Netrole]

Yeah that mercedes duell was brutal. DTM cars of that era where very similar to GT500, not actual touring cars / GT cars, these beasts where proper prototype race cars with a tube frame chassis to make them look like a road car.

[@dieselscartalk4146]

The 720s road carwas doing quite well considering it was at a massive disadvantage with the lack of downforce in the corners that require lots of it.

[@blazesmooth5573]

It has better power to weight ratio than the gt2, that's why it was close. Like the M4 also had better power to weight ratio, hence why it was close

[@dieselscartalk4146]

@@blazesmooth5573 yes

[@davidpardy]

My first thought was if the power of the 720s wasn't enough to beat the detuned GT3 version, pretty much nothing else is going to have a chance. The reality is that race cars are typically lighter with much better brakes and are set up for maximum track performance, and road cars are not. I will be surprised if a road car beats a race car in anything other than a drag race

I think the better way to stage these races would be to place the Roadcar(or whatever the lesser car is) ahead of the the Racecar(or whatever the “higher” car is) and see if the Roadcar can stay ahead of the Racecar for a lap. Because even when they start, where they start from is staggered, giving the Racecar an initial advantage

[@ivibewitharocketlauncher2250]

That's true because in races that little difference can make the race

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

I could do that but the main thing is of this series is seeing if the road car can actually beat the race car, not if it can hold the race car the last half of the lap. I´m already giving them the benefit of doing this duels on a fast track.

[@thekyzaa]

[@axelode45]

The most fair way would be to do a hotlap wth each car separately but I understand if that's not as entertaining to watch.

[@EastsideBodega_]

@@THEWINDTUNNEL I think you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying. 9/10 the Racecar/higher car is going to beat the lesser car. That isn’t a race, or a 50/50 it’s literally going to be the outcome. And it furthers the outcome when they do a staggered grid start. Placing the Road car/lesser cad ahead of the Racecar/highcar gives the lesser car SOME TYPE of a benefit to make the actual race more interesting.

Wow the M4 GTS really holds its ground very well. It's quite crazy to think if you have a M4 GTS you basically have a slightly toned down race car. Give it slicks and a bit of tuning in the chassis department and you got yourself a quasi race car.

[@Kai_ST200]

You can even build your own GT4 racecar. Look for example all the cars of Team Schirmer. They basically build the GT4 cars of the M3/M4 road legal.

[@Slowwagonftl]

Main differences between a road car and a race car? Downforce and weight. The two largest advantages on track, bar none. The only track the road cars would win on is, say, Le Mans without the kinks. 720S was on it though ngl

[@mintgoldheart6126]

Downforce, weight, tyres and brakes.

[@EddieOtool]

@@mintgoldheart6126 I think you can still manage to put a single decent lap on the stock brakes of a sports car, but more than that and it'll have the stoping power of an ice block. I remember slowing a stock Nissan Altezza from 180 to 60 kph or so very hardly one single time, and then my brakes were so faded I didn't dare to even use them in fear they would melt on me! I ended up using mostly engine braking for the remaining of the run.

[@jorge8596]

Circuit versions are faster with difference because it will be

[@EddieOtool]

You need a circuit with very little mid speed corners, and mostly low speed corners where only mechanical grip would prevail. Also, there should be a very high difference in peak power to compensate for slicks, aero and lower weight. Only the McLaren and BMW had a fighting chance; the other two were dead from the start. Also, try and put the road car in first place; if the race car has to overtake it, it will be more of a challenge.

[@alexandregeracao6345]

Its a very interesting concept but at the end of the day, the AI is just not up to the job. Every car that had a chance to actually overtake the race car down the straights usually "attacked" on the first corner compromising the exit for the straight and never being able to catch up. Would be interesting if u could also maybe run them alone to see their true performance difference.

why do they lower the hp on gt versions ?

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

GT racing cars have been in the 450hp-550hp bracket for the last 20 years. There has been no evolution, mainly for cost reasons. I would say F1 and the WRC are the only series that have had a significant power increase in the 21st century. Prototypes, NASCAR, IndyCar, Touring Cars etc... all have the same or less power than 20 years ago. Production cars have had that evolution. Supercars used to have 450hp in 2000, now they have over 700hp. Electrification has only increased that number. There's cars with over 2000hp. Mind-blowing.
