This is because of the "upgrades" that we have to do on the cars. The top time trial on Endurance Champions at LeMans is 2:30.960. The top qualifying time that year in the real conditions was 3:16.887 (and the Nissans which are fastest on the game could only muster 3:36.995). It's not so much the physics of it, but that the "base" number for the cars is what the cars have normally in the real world. Then we modify them in the game to levels that can't be reached. Same with the LMGTE cars. In the game, they turn laps much faster than the LMP1 cars in real life. Also, I have not experienced a significant lack of grip in the LMP1 cars at low speeds. I feel like I have more control of a LMP1 with TC off than I do on the Type 125 with TC turned on.
