fantasy grip and performance levels of the new cars. This. Pretty much any single car in RR3 even at base stats is significantly faster than literally every single existing super/hypercar in real life. Realistic? 🙅‍♂️

The 919 Evo at LTS stats is 20 (twenty!) seconds faster around Silverstone GP than 2019 Formula 1 cars. Realistic? 😅

Porsche Cayman GT4 at base stats is clean-lapping around Spa under 2:12 which is "just" 26 seconds faster than its real life time at that same track. Not only that but it's faster than any GT3 and GTE/GTLM cars in real life. Realistic? 🙃 FU Ford Focus RS in RR3 is easily destroying the Koenigsegg One:1's real-life record time around Spa - by 18 seconds!! Realistic? 😆

Pagani Huayra BC is faster than any real-life Formula 1 car, doesn't matter if it's just at base stats or any other upgrade level. Realistic? 😒

That junk Bugatti Chiron even at base stats is obliterating real-life LMP1 cars around Le Mans. Realistic? 🤣🤣

Base stats IMSA GT3/GTD cars in RR3 are grippier than real-life LMP2 cars. Realistic? 🙃

And so on, and so on...

But then again it's kinda interesting how some of the most realistic cars in RR3 (at least in comparison with those same cars from proper racing sims, as my only real-life experience with true racing car was driving the M4 GT4 for a couple of laps) are being hated with passion, like the AMG SLS GT3 for example.

It's also interesting how FM went in a total opposite direction with GTE cars than they are in racing sims and, well, real life. GTE cars are MUCH more difficult to drive than GT3 cars. It's so hard to drive them to their limits while GT3 is just faster GT4 - simple and easy, with ABS assistance etc. GTE cars in RR3 are fast like bullet trains and grippy like crazy no matter how hard you push them.

Realism at its finest - not.
