After an amazing playlist last week, ‘Modern Factory Supercars’, we have this play-list where you are given the option to race authentic F1 cars, the Mclaren from 1988 Season, and a Ferrari from 1991 season. As an avid F1 fan, we all know how F1 cars evolve over time.

So it is obvious that the Ferrari will be faster car, on Forza, Ferrari has an acceleration of 10.0 and Speed 7.8 and the Mclaren comes with Speed 7.0 and Acceleration 9.9. These stats are not lies, but the playlist is.

Let’s take a look at the results of both cars, in Dry Qualifying session at Belgium, both on Dry conditions, and both races on the same layout with the old bus stop chicane present.

1988
1991

You can clearly see the Mclaren honda of 1988 is 5-6 seconds slower than the 1991 season. And not only that, the Mclaren is 1 second faster than the Ferrari of that season

Why are we given the option to race a 1991 F1 car with a 1988 F1 car? If that is the intention and you have Licensing issues with 1991 Mclaren F1 car, then nerf the Ferrari or buff the Mclaren to atleast make it a level playing field. Or better yet, make it a spec race playlist for the Ferrari. ughhhhhh the incompetency is unreal with you.

Fair, you used real life results. Since the inception of this event I’ve been able to win races by well over 10 seconds with either one of the cars. Not just from wrecks but because my lap time is 2 seconds faster. It all depends on the people in your lobby.

They tried balancing the cars out with ballast but that caused the cars to understeer. Both cars are still capable of winning a race but It would’ve been better to take ballast off of both cars but keep the restrictor plate on the Ferrari. That would’ve brought its speed rating down to 6.8 closer to the McLaren’s 7.
