    Hi guys,

    First off, I love this mod and spend most of my time on it. However, I am wondering what the general conscensus is on balance of the mod and the latest version. A couple of us have tested the cars and we sort of felt the Porsche, Ferrari, SLS and Vette were equal, and the fastest of the bunch. The BMW is close, but the understeer hurts it a bit... and the McLaren and Camaro are noticibly slower.

    Would love to hear some feedback, as it could very well be a tuning issue. I really like the fact each car is different to drive.

    Before, the McLaren and Ferrari were king with the BMW right behind, on pretty much any track. What tracks did you guys run?

    We have only tested at Rouen, but it seems like a fair track for a test. I am not saying for sure it is unbalanced, as I am not the greatest driver either so Im just hoping to get feedback from more seasoned drivers. (such as yourself)

    The most notable point is that it does not drive in the same way the hardest and adapt the driving, personally I go as fast with the camaro as the porsche!
    For the first time on a mod they have quite a different character, i like :)

    Yeah I did try it. I actually like it but some people have issues with the ripped content. So sad because everyone was waiting for this mod from Simtek, now no one talks about it. Beautiful car models.

    I prefer Apex over it though.

    Thanks for the input. Glad to see you are having even performance. Ok, you convinced me to try the Camaro and MP4 again.

    To decide if a mod is balanced or not you should test in 3 very different tracks ;)

    I use the simtek one, I want to use apex but that fezza in it just doesn't seem right! Has steering angle like a kart. I don't really care if the contents ripped to be fair. I take what I can get as long as it stick to the sims roots, and I think the simtek one is the most balanced gt mods out there. Apex would be the same if they all felt the same ffb and handling wise.

    I'm doing an offline championship with the Apex, v0.940,
    1st race San Paolo: all the 4 McLaren on the latest 4 position;
    2nd race Monza: same with all the 6 Ferrari in the first 6 positions;
    Next race is Suzuka, i'll post the result.
    ----------------

    Ok, same in Suzuka! Ferrari top 5, McLaren latest positions..
    Next track is Hungaroring, a very different track.

    I did more testing as well. I think the mod is really well done. Some cars are better at certain tracks, and overall the mod is largely even.
    General feeback is that the McLaren is generally off pace, and very few people like the Camaro. All other cars seem pretty even...depending on the track.
