LEGO Chiron PI calculation

Yes, it’s me again, yes it’s another complaint about the incomprehensible PI calculation by the devs.

The LEGO Chiron can only reach a PI of 985. Making it the only car in the game that can’t reach the top of a class.

The stock car statwise is identical to the stock Chiron. On the upgrade part though it has an engine upgrade (neither the Chiron or the Divo have this) and race weight reduction.
Latter somehow is less strong than on the normal Chiron (-419kg vs. -555kg) and more similar to the Divo (-409kg).

I don’t understand why it didn’t get the -555kg which might have put it to S2 998. Or simply give it an extra tire tier - like some of the FE/PO cars have (“race +”).
With such limited upgrade options (no tire size, no aero) it should’ve been an easy task to balance it to 998. And it wouldn’t have become overpowered anyways.

On 985 it did my test track in 5:28.9xx which is ~6 seconds slower than the normal 998 Chiron and ~14 seconds slower than the Divo.
This time is nearly as bad as the one by the biggest miscalculation of all: the Rimac.

In short: why PG?

This post got me curious enough about the LEGO Chiron to unlock it and mess with it a bit earlier today. After comparing it to the regular Chiron I’m just confused.

When I upgraded both to their max lateral G potential, both were 1.36 at 60mph, but the regular one was higher at 120mph (1.5 vs 1.63).

Which kinda makes sense (LEGO version has no aero and nearly 400 extra lb.s) except that I couldn’t find any way to get the regular Chiron to remotely match the LEGO’s best lat. G stats…

TLDR= I’m guessing the LEGO Chiron has special/wonky tires and/or wonky aero values. Bummer cause that engine upgrade could’ve been pretty fun.
