This car is horrendously faster in tracks with long straights, my laptimes are on avg 6 seconds faster in Daytona and 8 - 10 seconds faster in Lemans. I made a short video demonstrating the outright power of this misplaced car. I have not qualified intentionally in Lemans because I know I will be up there competing against other 935’s in the lobby.
This is really funny to watch.
I think in Forza Horizon 5 it’s an “Extreme Tracktoy”, there it competes against really extreme cars and I think it’s fair. I haven’t used the car in FM23 yet.
Apparently Porsche had much freedom, because the car isn’t homologated for any specific class.
So far I’ve only used the 935 at Le Mans, except for one race at Daytona where I decided to see how it was on a more “typical” track (plus was close to 50-ing it) and was promptly called out by another player for “cheating” and “its not a GT3 car” (which was ironic because he was driving the Nurburgring 6-hour/Pikes Peak hillclimb Audi TTRS, which was also not a GT3 car).
It’s not a guaranteed win, whilst it is fast down the Mulsanne (other cars can be tuned to have similar speed especially the Lexus) it suffers on the corners and if you want to one-stop it the second half of Lap 4 (ie where most of the corners are) is like driving on ice as it does like to chew tyres. Personally with a small nerf it’ll be fine, even if it doesn’t fit the F-GT category to begin with (Extreme Track Toys or Modern Factory Racecars would be better, like the Lambo SCV12). There have been plenty of other cars that dominate one or two tracks in a class but are off-the-pace elsewhere, I would imagine it would struggle on a more flowy track like Maple Valley or Watkins Glen it might struggle (even at Spa the speed up the Kemmel and in to Blanchimont might not be enough to offset tip-toeing through Rivage/No-name/Pouhon and Fagnes)
I still ponder the decisions that have been made surrounding Forza GT… I remember poking fun at Project Cars 3 for including the Sesto Elemento in a category alongside GT3 cars (iirc, might be a different racing car category), but Forza isn’t doing much better in those terms. It’s regressed from FM7 imo
They’re supposedly going to rework the Forza GT division in a next update. Though as always, no promises, no time table.
How you didn’t pick up an off track when you said stuff it at the second corner is just another example of how bad the penalty system is
I raced against one of those Porsche yesterday at Daytona, 4 secs faster than the second faster car in that lobbie.
It’s fun to see who drive this car overtake in the straights and then not be able to turn for the rest of the circuit. Clearly at Le Mans or Daytona it is less noticeable, but at circuits like the Mugello you outdistance them in the corners and they catch up with you on the straight. It is a totally unbalanced car and clearly not suitable for GT racing.
maybe it was lenient in this case because I was pushed into-offtrack rather than intentional.
Noticed this at Spa last night, any time they made up along the Kemmel was lost by the time I got to Fagnes, and overall the two 935s in our field posted times similar to my 488 (although one quit and the other came mid-back of the pack, and I came 5th - would have been 3rd if I hadn’t been punted at Pouhon on the first lap).
just casually dropping here after getting thrashed by a 935 in suzuka. e.g. I lapped 2:01 on average still lost by 10+ seconds. Pls do something i’m losing my races here
what about daytona that day 
Looks like op car that can be fast on most of tracks with proper tune (max/max aero, to get some grip in corners)
couldn’t even do anything with the lexus :3
It’s a GT2 RS with a bodykit.
Thank you for your feedback. As of Update 12, the 2019 Porsche #70 Porsche Motorsport 935 has been removed from the Forza GT3 Series and added to the Modern Factory Racecar Series.
