Looks like they took the Audi's pace as a baseline, which sounds like a good choice. Audi was fast enough. Should mean a top-speed boost to the other cars and knocks a little off the Merc. Sounds reasonable to me, but we'll see how it stacks up on the track.GT3 Cars
This Patch includes some preliminary 2018 Season 2 GT3 balance updates.
There is bound to be some additional adjustments prior to the start of the next GT3 seasons, but this is a new starting space in advance of the 2018 Season 1.
All GT3 cars have had their baseline setups adjusted.
CARS:
Audi R8 LMS GT3
- Physics re-tool using additional, extensive, and extremely detailed information. Used to re-set the performance baseline for the GT3 class of cars.
- Reduced the brightness intensity of the digital display background.
BMW Z4 GT3
- Updates to engine torque, aero performance, drivetrain, and fuel consumption to re-balance against the Audi R8 LMS GT3.
Ferrari 488 GT3
- Updates to masses and inertias, aero performance, drivetrain, and fuel consumption to re-balance against the Audi R8 LMS GT3.
Ford GT GT3
- Updates to allowable ride heights, aero performance, drivetrain, and fuel consumption to re-balance against the Audi R8 LMS GT3.
McLaren MP4-12C GT3
- Updates to engine torque, aero performance, and drivetrain to re-balance against the Audi R8 LMS GT3.
Mercedes-AMG GT3
- Updates to masses and inertias, aero performance, drivetrain, and fuel consumption to re-balance against the Audi R8 LMS GT3.
- Fixed an issue with crackles in external engine sounds for this vehicle.
Someone on the forums posted that they fixed the Audi's snap-oversteer, which worries me, because the last time they fixed a mid-engine car's "snap-over-steer", we ended up with the McLaren.. Hopefully they didn't make the Audi an under-steering boat.
Gonna do some racing at Oran Park. Looking forward to catching you all in #PracticePals tonight!
