1. To answer your question, I think FX3 will be only equal to FZ3/XR3 in FX3-friendly tracks, I don't think FX3 will ever be faster than XR3/FZ3. But I could be wrong here, please correct me if I am wrong.
2. Just like not qualifying in AS5 will put FX3 teams in disadvantage (regferring to the OP), won't the FX3 teams again suffer when/if they do not qualify on FX3-unfriendly tracks in future ?
But I was just thinking out loud, I am not arguing or asking you guys to reduce restrictions in the future, coz I don't have data. But since future pre-quals are races, by the time we get data it will be too late. Again I am thinking out loud. I only hope that at the end of the day, all cars fairly even
Edit: CSF has cleared my doubt to a great extent and I think it may not be that bad for FX3 after all
You are correct, IF the cars are equal. The organizers felt that FXR was too disadvantaged at AS5, hence they reduced 1% restriction, hence I am asking if the same problem won't arise in other long and winding tracks in the future rounds
Thanks, btw out of curiosity, won't this problem arise again during qualifying heat race for other FX3-unfriendly tracks, where again FX3 will be disadvantaged and FX3 teams may not even qualify for the race with 34%?
It would n't have been suspicious if you got a 107.89 (broke WR) with a clean lap, but you got it in spite of bumping into two guys at last corner, that's too good to be true.
Yes it will show the last used racername, so its not a big deal, but having said that it's difficult for other teams when we try to calculate where we are in the standings. We either have to wait for them to come back or scan the whole roaster.
Well if I press F, I observe that he is using road normal instead of hybrid. That could explain his good performance in last turn when he gets back to road, but I am not sure if he can be that fast in dirt with road_normal tyres, so may be like Masterboy says it may be tarmac mod and that's why he is using road_normal instead of hybrid or knobbly. I think him using road_normal is a giveaway, he could have been more discreet and used hybrid so that there was no blatant proof :P And oh btw he is 0.07 seconds faster than the BL2/XFG Hotlap WR in spite of bumping into two cars at last turn Lol! so must be mod!
Hey PMD and Deadwolfbones, the fastest FX3 is down in the 14th place (( I know this is early days or may be not enough too good FX3 drivers, and may be since its 300 bhp class, more than 5% power is taken up by AWD, but do you think FX3 is too handicapped ? In fact only 1 FX3 in 2:54.xx that too its a 2:54.97. So basically FX3s are in 2:55's, while 6 (FZ3+XR3) are in the 2:53's. I am not arguing or questioning, but guys can you do another test run or something ? Please 32 or 33% plsss
Or do you think it will be more equal in other twisty circuits like FE and SO?
