Endurance Cars

[ItsAll]

I know there a four main old endurance cars, I have all content for AC and was wondering what the main difference was.

The first confusing thing is the two types of Porsche 962C Long Tail and also Short tail.
Am I correct in saying that the short tail is more based for downforce tracks with the long tail more suited for speed tracks. Running both cars stock around Bathurst I set an almost identical lap time. with a 2 thousandths of a second gap going into the short tails favour.

Next is with the Mercedes/Sauber C9.
How does this compare to both of the Porsches performance wise and is it within a similar league for racing. Also, is this more for speed or downforce tracks. I never set a lap around Bathurst yet as I havent had the time.

Last is the Mazda 787B.
I am lead to believe that this is the slowest out of the other three, is this truly the case. When attempting a Bathurst run I crashed out both times at the top of the hill around the corners, I struggled to turn the car in and it also felt slow on the straights, is this how the car is or was it my driving. Once again, speed or downforce.

If it could be sumed up for me on which cars are the fastest overall and what the cars are most suited to, that would be greatly apprieciated. Cheers
