Don't pick the P1 unless you want your houses torn down.

 

[Eugene Abramoff]

Don't pick the P1 unless you want your houses torn down.

I think something must've happened with P1 on that lap, I'm not a pro, but I tested all 3 at Spa, on HR tires.

2.30.9 - 918
2.31.3 - LF
2.31.5 - P1

Whats also funny, I find P1 easiest to drive.

I'm in btw with Ferrari. Just wish the track was better quality, love in RRE.

The Porsche and LaFerrari don't get Pirelli Trofeo's in real life.

 

[Peter Hartz]

in pls
edit: 918 ty

 

[Enzo Fazzi]

Oh and I'm in too, Ferrari please.

HR is hypercar road, so I assume its P Zero Corsa road tire for P1 and LF and Pilot Sport Cup 2 for 918. I guess they are equivalent to each other so should be fair.

Yeah but the laps by Chris Harris in his show, the P1 used the Trofeo's where the LF and 918 used the Corsa's/Pilot Sport Cup 2's. I thought that was what you were refering to.

 

[Glaurung]

I'm in with the 918.

 

[Aksu]

Really difficult track!
But I'm in with Ferrari =P

Indeed, there is that couple of tightening corners where is difficult to keep the entry speed and hit the apex correctly.

 

[Enzo Fazzi]

Ahhh so I hadn't watched the Grand Tour until just now. I thought everyone was talking about this:

 

[Max Melamed]

I'm so in! Will go for the Ferrari The Ferrari but not 100% sure yet

 

[Enzo Fazzi]

In case you can't be bothered to watch Chris Harris' video, here are the times he did with all three cars.
Porsche: 1.53.98
Ferrari: 1.54.25
McLaren: 1.53.57 (1.51.78 on Trofeo R's)

I'd say, if you have 20 different drivers and you take their virtual best laps in each car, you'll get an average laptime of these cars that are within .1 of a second.

(sorry about rambling on about this)

 

[Kaygeeoh]

Sign me up, i havent driven any of these yet. Will edit with selection later

 

[Glaurung]

It's only me that feels that this track fits perfectly with the 918?
This car pulls away from slow corners incredibly hard.

I think the only fair way to do this, is to allow factory to prepare each of their own cars, BUT you can only alter alignment, non of them have adjustable anything else anyway.

Tires, only factory stock that they are sold with, obviously do what you gotta do on pressures.

No messing with electronics or anything, no removing parts.

Only factory drivers! Here is why: Notice how different the times in Chris Harris video to Grand Tour, because only the factory drivers can exploit full potential of each car, they know it inside out, they were part of development process and done countless laps in specific respective car.
I don't think it's fair the way they did it in Grand Tour and in video above, each different driver will always do different time, it becomes more about driver rather than a car. . Which is also, non the less, interesting piece of information, because one driver can give first impressions and subjectively compare.

I kind of noticed that as doing test myself, each time you learn something new about each car and you have to go to a previous one, because now the split is too big, and on and on.

From a standing start and with the same tyres:

 

[CzWRC]
