Agreed that FE are 'more challenging' to drive. But unnecessarily so! Typical FIA manipulation of racing so that it's more... something. FE is probably FIA limited to make up for the shortfalls of F1/F3, etc. Otherwise it would take away viewership of the races that Bernie wants people watching.

Personally, I'd love to see an F1-level FE car go up against an ICE F1 car, all things equal... But the hamstrung FE cars (street-grade tires, lack of downforce, etc.) can't even come close.

I would go for these cars if they had real rubber and actual downforce, but they don't. They understeer like the Focus RS around turns and post pathetic lap times. Compared with other cars in the game at about the same price point, these 700GC cars are simply pathetic:

700 GC (+/- 100 GC) can buy one of the following instead:

'13/'14/'15/'16 911 RSR, Any Aussie SuperCar, C7.R, 488 GTE, GT LeMans, AMG GT3, 918 Spyder WP, F12 TdF, Vantage GTE, any v 1.0 NASCAR, F1 GTR, Veyron GSV, LaFerrari, Vulcan, or Agera R.

All of these cars will DESTROY an FE car around ANY track in the game. They're overpriced and underperform. Not worth it.
