Generic Is the Porsche 908 LH underpowered?

No gear adjustment is possible on the PS4, gear sets are also missing from the Mercedes 190E DTM car, other things are also absent, example; heave adjustment is missing in formula /LMP cars. Hybrid systems aren't correct to the PC version of the game either...That is probably the tip of a rather large iceberg!

Edit: the whole electronics tab is absent as well.

 

I wouldnt say humiliate the mk2.in fact,a mk2 driven by Dan Gurney/AJ Foyt was one pole in Daytona '67,and the first of the Ferraris was in 4th i believe.Fords bad result was due to lots of mechanical failures,specially clutch/transmisson.overall,the 330 was better,hence the born of the MKIV.and of course,the 330 is superior to the John Wyer GT40 mk1,even if JW version was better than the original mk1

Thank you for the reply!I will,as soon as i get home.although @Graveltrap already answered,but i will take a look anyway!

 

thx 4 this, as I think, important information!

 

Alright, but still Panky, shouldn't 330 P4 be faster in a straight line? It's just 1025kg and 430bhp vs. 792kg and 450bhp... Ferrari has 0,57 hp/kg, Porsche has 0,52 hp/kg and GT40 0,42 hp/kg... I mean it just doesn't want to go over 280 km/h... you just pray for every km/h more. Similar story in Porsche. And in GT40 it is just wrrrruuummmm.... and there you are.
Not saying that something is wrong with the cars... but it just makes one ask himself "why my red Ferrari can't keep up with Ford's speed? it's 25% better power/weight! It should be a rocketship!"

 

Allright guys, I gave all 3 of them a go on test pad mod track to get some more serious top speeds.
Here are the results:

https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/gt40-vs-908lh-vs-330-p4-top-speeds.47535/

Looks like something is wrong with 330 P4 (I'd bet on aero, but didn't check on any dev app) as the longer the final gear is set, the lower is top speed. 908LH goes to 308 km/h, GT40 - 322 km/h.

 

So it's confirmed,no gear sets or final gear changes are possible with the Porsche 908 LH. here's a screenshot of it:

 

Unfortunately not, we kinda of stumble over them, from time to time as a result of the WHC where platforms interact with each other, (the ones I am aware of anyway).

Edit - I suspect anything that requires something different from the standard console UI will be a problem.

I guess we should try and put something together! New thread time me thinks...If you don't mind I will quote your message again in the OP?

It is difficult to keep a list in the console section, the OP gets locked down after an hour, so updating isn't possible, which means wading through a thread which will no doubt become congested with off topic content

 

I can confirm what wrote here above: setting a custom championship with Ford Gt40 and Porsche 908 all the Gt40 were faster than 908 but everybody know that in reality this was not true. It is possible a sort of underestimation of the performances of the Porsche or alternatively an overestimation of the performances of Ford. In any case something is not fully working with perfect adherence to hystoric reality were these two cars fighted strongly.

 

Yes,just like what happens to me!its an underestimation of the 908 most likely,the speed does not quite match with the real one,unlike the Ford

 

I did a test at PC version, at Thomson road with 100% AI and default setup.
330 did around 1:59
GT40 around 2:01
Porsche around 2:04

I did 1:57 with my 330. Didn't personally drive the other cars.

Someone need to test personally these cars.
Also we need to respect Aris post since sometimes things are what they are, especially with these old cars.

Any of these cars making to 300 km/h or even passing it was quite a fit in the days, even more considering the power they had (not that much by today's standards).

 

Dont trust the AI. Im pretty sure if you watch them the AI 908's will be going off track at the kink and again at the end of the main straight at Thomson Rd.

 

If by any change someone wants to personally test all cars,please to do so in tracks avaliable on consoles.It would be better if an alien console player tests them,because it seems that the PC version 908 is more improved than the console one.

 

That's what I said in my post right?

You said that people should test it yes. You also had an example with a possible conclusion to draw from it, Im just sharing what I know, unless something has changed the AI are much worse at Thomson Rd in 908 than GT40.

We raced those 2 cars together in MP quite a few times at quite a few tracks and IMO they are pretty similar pace.

 

Here are some laps from stracker. Some of these times are pretty old now but atleast it is some data. Grip was usually around 97-98%

Silverstone 67


Thomson Rd GP


Monza 66


Riverside Short


Vallelunga Classic

 

Well, apart from what Aris wrote in my thread (in phxs bug reports) I just gave a go (well, after few beers ehm... yet they all were quite lightweight like Lotus!) to all 3 cars at Imola - without trying too hard. And in 330 P4 I was the fastest by far, then 908LH and then GT40. So in the end maybe Ferrari isn't fastest in straight line but power to weight ratio gives you superiority when going out of corners. Other 2 cars just can't cope with it's firepower. And this ghrrrhhrrrrmmm Ferrari's engine sound... it gives you feeling that you're going even faster

 

Thanks for the data but are those laptimes made on PC or PS4?

Thats good,the Ferrari is suposed to be the fastest of the 3! did you do it on PC or PS4?
