Building at scale has some interesting consequences; some of which don't necessarily play in your favor...........
Case in point; two of my cars for this year's Panamericana-2 race.
Here are a couple of pic of my two new cars; a Porsche 550 coupe and an OSCA MT-4, on either side of the winning Lancia D24 from last season.
Is it possible that, at scale, they were that much smaller than the D24? Seems unlikely to me.
Does it matter? Well, from a modeling standpoint - no. But from a performance standpoint - yes, definitely yes. Here are some track time comparisons from tonight's first run of both car on my track:
Car / Laps / Average lap time / Best lap timePorsche 550 / 50 / 8.22 / 7.575
OSCA MT-4 / 50 / 7.89 / 7.484
Lancia D24 / 30 / 7.18 / 6.988
About half a second adrift for both of the smaller cars. It's clear now that there are some tuning/performance challenges ahead for these two cars..................!
