2012 Car Performance
« on: January 30, 2013, 11:01:04 pm »
A big thank you to Moss for testing the cars & posting his laps on youtube here:

Lap times were:

Mclaren: 1:13.275
RedBull: 1:14.084
Ferrari: 1:14.308
Sauber: 1:14.712
Williams: 1:14.863
Mercedes: 1:14.973
Lotus: 1:15.184
Force India: 1:15.900
Torro Rosso: 1:16.377

Kristian Nenov (Race Department & also very quick consistent racer) did this test on Quick Race mode (Germany).
The Race Department topic is here:
racedepartment.com


McLaren-1.13.868
RedBull-1.14.340
Ferrari-1.14.429
Sauber-1.14.882
Williams-1.15.103
Mercedes-1.15.230
Lotus-1.15.654
Force India-1.15.741
Toro Rosso-1.16.440

So you can see that although the times of the laps differ, the result is the same in order from McLaren to Torro Rosso.

I have suggested cars for everyone previously but this might change opinion on who should drive what. I also believe Kartdude & Angry wanted to both be team mates? Maybe they can go in RedBull? Gazza & Drew in Ferrari. The rest as posted before which looks like this:

Red Bull: Kartdude & Angryman
Ferrari: Gazza & Drew
Sauber: Stubbs & Striker
Williams: Livo & Nash
Mercedes: Moss

Over to you:

Any particular reason why we're skipping the obvious best car - McLaren?

In both cases the Mclaren is significantly quicker than the redbull compared to the other gaps between each car. It also gives room to adjust further down the track.

I think mosses list is prossibly better.

I think this also shows how deluded CM are regarding the real performance of the cars for the 2012 season.
