Car Groups

Hi,

Just wondering if the Devs, or anybody could give a break down of Car groups. What I mean is, if you are setting up a server, a list of cars that go well together. I mean you would not put a BMW 1M against the Ferrari F40....

Many Thanks

Fordie

 

when you select a car, you can select car groups

 

I have a new dedicated server running, and it uses the Ini file, not the launcher, so that is why I was asking

Cheers

Yep, car classes would be desirable. Make`s hosting easier. If you want compare cars, to put them together on your server, maybe kg/bhp to use as an indivator, would make sense.

 

I made a little list which shows all cars sorted into their "categories".

I attached it here, so you can have a look. Might help for multi-class racing as well

 

That is awesome, just what I as looking for, thank you

No problem, you're welcome

 

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks heaps!

 

Thanks. What do the classes mean, or rather, how are the cars classified?

 

I have been told that the class list you done, as I posted it somewhere else and said, it's not my work has been done without any real comparison. Most of them won't really work. Can I ask, Is this AC Devs class list or one you done yourself? I am not dishing your work, just what I have been told else where from regular AC, highly respected drivers that's all.

It would be nice to have a Formal list for Classes that everyone could work from?

Regards

I made a list some days ago, but incld. kg/bhp. Maybe it helps...

 

E92 S1 Vs E30 Grp A (yes they are quite different normally but work well at the ring)
Evora GTC Vs Mclaren GT3 Vs Z4 GT3 Vs P4/5
Evora GTE Vs Evora S3 Vs Exige 240R S3
Xbow Vs E30 Grp A Vs Lotus 211
Ferrari 458 Vs Ferrari F40 Vs Mp4-12C

for now these have worked quite well for me.

 

1m vs e92
e92 drift vs e30 drift

I made this list based on the filters the game offers, when you choose a certain car in the menu. I don't know how AC creates this filters, so I will not take any guarantee that they are perfectly balanced.

When racing in MP with a few mates, we tried some of the low (A1-A3) categories and it worked out pretty good.

OF COURSE the performance balance of the cars will differ from track to track, because every car has its own strengths and weaknesses.
For example: a BMW M3 E92 S1 will be naturally faster than a Lotus Exige SC S2 @ Monza, because it's higher power output, but it will lose against the Lotus @ Magione, because it's much heavier and less agile.

Which represents real life, because every car has its own characteristics. Otherwise, it would be quite boring I think.

To get the real picture, you'd have to test those categories on different tracks. Best with a longer qualifying session and a higher race distance, because that's when everything gets settled. BUT always keep in mind that testing with the AI also has an impact on the outcome

 

ok chaps, thank you all for your replies
