[quote][i]Originally posted by slotmad[/i] Our weight calculator is an attempt to get the obviously different cars more equal to race. In the real FIA GT the Maseratis have an extra weight of 150 kg to the Corvettes, which worked out fine. This is 10 - 15% extra. In our weightcalculator the Masis are about 20 grams heavier than the Corvettes and Astons. This seems to be almost the same as in real FIA GT. But we forget one big issue. In the past we had several cases that the sensitivity and durability of our motors was "unaspected". The Masis have already extra weight and with 5 - 15 grams more, the motor will have a hard time. It will develop more heat, perform less and collapses earlier. This is not the way to go and I protest against the new rule for the next two races! Besides I think that the Astons and Lambos could have performed better. In qualifying there was not much of a difference. If Slotfabrik had a better strategy and a bit more stable car, they could have battled for the podium. This is the same with RFH2, if they did not loose some screws. Jean Pierre suggested to change the car to avoid the extra weight handicap for the winning teams. I will consider this, but I am not willing at the moment to build a new car just for this reason! Let us have the discussion now there is still time enough to the next race. By the way, I tested an old spec motor yesterday in my 230 grams car. It was slow and much heat was measured. More testing is needed. greetz [/quote]
