Gte/gt3 balance of performance?

Hello! Was curious about BoP in the stock AC GT3 and GTE cars. Are the physics on these cars modeled on the base car as it comes from the manufacturer? Or is some kind of FIA/ACO/SRO BoP figure incorporated into the physics modeling? Just idle curiosity, thanks!

 

GTE/GT2 and GT3 have a totally different ruleset, so they are not BoP'd towards eachother. What would be the point of that, ... defeats of the purpose of multi-class racing

 

That's not at all what I was asking, I have no clue how you could have misinterpreted that. I know they are completely different rulesets.

When a manufacturer builds a car for a given set of regulations, invariably the car that comes out of the shop will NOT have the same performance as it does when it hits the track on its first race weekend. This is because the sanctioning body will impose certain balance of performance adjustments to bring it in line with the rest of its given class.

My question, again: Are the physics of the GTE and GT3 cars in Assetto Corsa modeled based on their baseline performance without BoP adjustments? Or are these cars modeled with their respective real-world BoP adjustments incorporated?

 

I think they first make the with the real data from the manufacturers and then tweak them a bit so you'll get that BoP effect. They have done that for the Z4 & 12c gt3's.

 

Yup, that sounds the most likely indeed.
But also remember that the game isn't final yet, so tweaks are probably still being made to have the cars on comparable levels.

 

BoP?

 

Balance of Performance.
You hear most about it in the current blancpain series. They balance cars out by restricting the amount of HP, fuel or aero. OR they can also increase it for a specific car, depending on the other cars.

 

I'm curious to know, though, if these tweaks are based on actual Blancpain/FIA BoP figures or Kunos' own Balance of Performance. I'd imagine its Kunos' own figures as the real-world BoP changes so often.

 

BoP changes are usually being made by each series in relevance to the current situation.
So yeah, final balancing is most likely based on Kunos' tweaks.

 

You certainly know how to get every league racer to start dreaming

 

For a laugh it's worth reading up on ELMS 2013/2014: they have ACO GTE and FIA GT3 classes, but BoP the GT3 cars to be slowest of any GT3 series.

They manage 2s difference around tracks like Silverstone during qualifying. But they could clearly just as easily BoP the two classes to very closely matched lap times. BoP is an integral part of GT racing everywhere....
