I'm a fan of this car, very hard to drive and one of the legends in racing cars. I get similar times comparing to Porsche Mobil Cup real life. But yesterday tested on Lemans and I found that there is something wrong. I can reach 295km/h in Mulsane straight quite before my braking point. This morning I drove same car in iRacing to compare. Sure is one of the better simulated cars in iRacing because they have an official Porsche Cup Championship. Feeling is very very similar, maybe a bit easier in iRacing to drive due to FFB, but car feel the same braking and turning. Setups was very similar. On iRacing car reach 280km/h top speed with same wing P5 (there is 1 to 9 rear wing) and obviously don't cut because I can not reach 8500 rpm in 6th gear with this speed. I tried to reproduce very similar conditions, full rubbered track, same liters, 29 C track temperature (you know iRacing is very sensitive to that), obviously Porsche Cup at rF2 is faster because of wrong top speed, 3 seconds!! Comparing to real life, Porsche Cup qualify in 4.04, that it would be very similar to the time I could get with Q fuel on iRacing. With 52L I did 4.02 that sure could be improved by faster drivers. @Paul Jeffrey could you send this info to the car manager to find out if this is a bug?
I know it! I compared Supercup versions, very similar in behaviour, except a lot more of top speed in rF2 version, that I think is completely wrong
You may be right, but I can't recall a time s397 updated a vehicle because it was slower or quicker than the real car....even if it seems like they should.
Porsche cup uses a smaller air restrictor on le mans, to prevent it from reaching the rev limit at top speed. rf2 does not have this specific cup car configuration. I guess this means everybody is kinda right, its both different power and (intake) aero drag?
