Also, apart from stopping distance, the Venom beats the FXX-K in ever aspect BUT the FXX-K has a "much" higher PR. Odd. There was a conversation on here right after the Venom was added to the game about this. The PR is very close to the P1-GTR, but the P1 is so remarkably better. Only thing that anyone could figure, was the PR also reflect how a car uses all four parameters together to produce a well balanced driving experience. But when it's all said and done, only FM knows how they really rate them. The P1 GTR does seem to be an oddity though. Based on its performance, it really should be a 100+ PR car. I also think it's handling figure is way low. There's no way it's that close to the Venom GT, it handles more like an LMP1 car! Should be more like 2.0g

Here's another curiosity that doesn't seem to have an explanation.

Look at the max-PR specs of the Regera and Venom GT side by side.

Top Speed - Venom GT by 10mph (290mph vs.280mph)

Acceleration - Venom GT by 0.03s (2.17s vs. 2.20s)

Braking - Venom GT by 4ft (78ft vs. 82ft.)

Cornering - Venom GT by 0.06g (1.78g vs. 1.72g)

The Venom GT beats the Regera in every category, yet the Regera is rated at PR 94.4 while the Venom GT is lower (slightly) at 94.3. Unless somehow cost plays a role in the PR? The Regera does cost 286GC less to upgrade to 94.4 than the Venom GT costs to upgrade to 94.3.
