Is the Lamborghini GT3 car op?

[Chazer]

I bought the game like 2 days ago with all the dlc´s needed for the IMSA experience.
Now i noticed that in qualifying the Lambos are insanely overpowered or possibly bugged?

100% AI strenght
Aggr. Medium

Now i drove the Porsche with a might 1.20 on road atlanta "lol"
Got me 12th place
My fellow AI drivers not in a lambo and myself included are over 6 seconds of the pace apparently.

The 1st Lambo drove a 1.14
the 2nd a 15
and so on

The next best non Lambo car is the BMW with a 1.19
Much more inline with what i would expect.

So to finally ask my question again, is the Lambo bugged or just really that quick at 100% Ai Strenght?

[Nefret]

op is the wrong word it is very hyper universe over powered

[Dud]

It appears it is rather op

[Mev03]

nope

[Nippur]

Try these settings,
On GAMEPLAY:
Damage type: full damage
Damage scale: Max
Mechanical failures: Yes
Random failures: Sync to race (there will always be some drivers that will retire due to mechanical failures)

Some of the failres are "Blown engine", "Coolant/Oil leaks", "lose a wheel after a pit stop because a mechanic messed up".

I recommend aggression at high, on medium the AI is still too passive and don't fight for positions.

If they want to avoid a leaderboard wipe then they should bring the other cars up to par

I think the Lambo & the Audi are both OP compared to the rest of the GT3 Gen 2 glass. Also the LMP2 class seems a bit slow in top speed compared to the GT3`s, I find it quite difficult to pass them on the straights as you are more or less matching them ?

I know nothing at all about you're racing experience so take all this with a view of it's intent rather than content appearing to make assumptions on that front..

In GTD you can change the final drive ratio on most cars, for longer faster tracks (Nords, Spa and Monza historic tracks for example) to get higher top speed.
When the GT3 Gen 2 cars 1st arrived only the Mercedes had this ability but it seems the whole class does now.
Changing the final drive for more top speed will hamper you off the line but on track with any closing speed and shifting at different times can make it seem like the car is OP.
So always check the final drive, if you're topping out down the hill at Bathurst? see if you can adjust the final drive ratio or even the final 2 gears.

Above a certain level the AI will begin to use car tuning.
They also have various attributes (over 15 you can actually edit iirc).
It's possible (though highly unlikely) you had the top AI driver all in the same car.

In the past setting the AI to 100 and max aggression would see them achieving real world race pace laptimes, 120% and max aggression and they're getting close to real world lap record pace.

Time trials can seem to show OP cars but that happens every leaderboard wipe, people look at the lists see the top cars choose it and DL the ghost setup, till someone faster comes along in summat else.
We've just had a leaderboard wipe plus a content drop at the same time, I don't recall both happening at the same time before, we'd get the content or a physics change and then they'd monitor the boards and wipe them if required, so maybe we're experiencing a touch of "new shiney" and a dash of confirmation bias at work here? (asking the question not making a claim here though).

Where the Lambo excels is as an all-rounder, it does everything well and can hit it's listed top speed at Nords, it'd beat it with a tow. Not tried the Audi enough but they're damned close.
The Merc on the other hand drives like a dream in the corners but suffers in acceleration, the Porsches have been the goto cars for the TT boards in the past they always float to the top lol.
I don't think the Lambo is OP as such it just inspires confidence and the gearing is sweet at the top end, the Porsches top gear is too long so once you get to it? Momentum increase becomes a crawl, whilst the Lambo comes in higher up the rev range and to higher BHP and torque.
On the brakes the Lambo is sweet whilst the Merc can be a bit tail happy and sensitive on the exits again any dent in that confidence costs speed and time, what the Merc can do well is ride the kerbs on the power.
In a car you're really confidence in the car you can be 1-2 tenths faster through a corner but half a second quicker to the next as a direct result, then banging out lap after lap within a few tenths of each other.
Coming on and off the gas or brake wrong can cause a spin by unsettling the car, if one car doesn't suffer as badly as another car you'll have more confidence to push harder as a result, yet, just a few small tweaks of the dampers can take you from fearing the kerbs to riding them like a boss.
That confidence breeds like wildfire lopping seconds off your laptimes.

I've been known to hit mid 1:45 at Monza or high 2:13s at Spa in the GTD/GT3 gen 2 Merc in races cause I love how it drives, likewise in the Lambo, on the flipside I can't stand the Porsches in almost all classes, I just can't get on with them. Best I can do is a 2:17 at Spa lol.
I also don't like the BMW GT3's but love the the M8 GTE.
All confidence in what I'm driving or lack of it.

The setups for each car differ significantly because at that level?
Car tuning becomes vital, tune the car to your driving style (Confidence), then finesse it for each track and the conditions at hand.
If you're running 6 default rear wing but the AI is using 3 and longer ratio gears? They're gonna seem OP cause you've hit a wall while they just keep on accelerating away.

Again having to make assumptions here so apologies if I'm way off, just trying to help out

[Dud]

Any Idea at what level the AI begin to use car tuning @Rastus? Because I have never noticed any difference in them at levels between 100-105. Certainly don't seem to change major things like wing and gear ratios to match.

so you think the lambos are really 6 seconds+ a lap faster then it's rivals?

I don´t need to think. I saw it on the time sheets and that´s why i´m asking the question about it here because it made no sense.

Those times are from when it was released ( and it was OP ). It's been BOP'd since then, but they have not wiped the time trial times ( probably got other priorities ).

i ran it at monza yesterday and they are dtill 6-7 seconds a lap faster
