4-wide is insta-death...I'd say 2 wide is enough. Eventually you can enter 3 wide but one will have to back off quite soon. Don't forget those random jumps we did when we tested the combo some time ago

 

[RainhamIron]

Keeping the things in a straight line is hard enough already!
2-wide is perfectly fine, 3 would definitely be tricky without wiping out. I'm sure "4-wide" was a little tongue-in-cheek

I don't see a problem

This must have been the moment just before the fireball

 

[Pavel Sukhanov]

The lotus is way faster. I think it's 1 to 2 seconds faster than the ferrari...the restrictor on the lotus should be enough. If one of the 2 cars is slower in top speed, they'll never overtake.

lotus faster than ferrari for 3+sec

Yep... Sadly I have some issues with the server so I can't adjust the BoP at the moment.
The Lotus will get 25% of restrictor to even out the top speeds

 

[RainhamIron]

With the shocking state of those brakes though, some of us who take the lotus are likely to spend quite a lot of time digging ourselves out of the Parabolica kitty litter

Looks like I'd better try out the Fezza, give it a little test run. Sorry, I will decide on a car eventually, honest

 

[Pavel Sukhanov]

Here are some tests:
Ferrari 2:xx.482
Lotus 2:xx.431
Lotus with restrictor 25% 2:xx:312

But the lotus is more difficult to control, 25% restrictor is ok

Edit by BP. Sorry Pavel, we aren't supposed to post lap times in race threads. No biggie so don't worry

Looks good
The Ferrari has better brakes, so yes, it's a bit slower than the Lotus but you can out-brake it and then defend the position.
Even without restrictor it was a tight battle on track!

2 seconds is still to much imho. 2 drivers of equal skills in different cars will not compete.

I only see 1s between them
That equals 2-3 kp/h on the bankings where you gain up to 20 kp/h while in the slipstream. As said even without the restrictor the Ferrari could overtake without struggling. Just couldn't hold it over the lap.

Also the Ferrari isn't that "drifty" when applying throttle. All in all it's 2-3 kp/h with 25% and the slower car is easier to drive.

 

[Pavel Sukhanov]

Slipstream is very important in these cars. The change of position on the straight line comes to two times. Power will not be as important as the long fifth gear

 

[BhZ]

What you are not considering is the fact that the Lotus will start in the top positions and the top 5 will create such a gap because the Ferrari will lose time overtaking. 2 seconds is a huge problem, slipstream or not.

 

[RasmusP]

It's one second and this includes his personal skill with the car.

If you wanna keep this discussion going pm me on steam and we will take it out on the road

I'll make some testing and report to you tomorrow

Sound good.
It's shame that you are in the Ferrari, otherwise I won't have a problem with giving you 30% restrictor

How could i live with myself if i picked the lotus as an italian... btw, i will test both cars without abs and tc.

 

[Allan Ramsbottom]

How about giving the slower guys the fast cars,the ,s the slower car ,you can still restrict that Guuuuuurman gits car,wotever he chooses,, ohh an im in the class of the slower drivers
