F1RS Real difference in cars?

Does it matter if you drive a Williams or McLaren in F1RS? Does the Williams gives you more power? If I remember well, the power of the players cars in F1GP2 was always the same. Normally I drive only the McLaren and tried the Ligier/Prost once. I just did some laps with the Williams but it was not so easy to drive. Sander

There is an option in the "Choose Team" menu to have every car with the same power. So even if you win with the bes tcar in Expert, you can still go take a less powered car and try to get the pole/win ;-) Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s.

According to the F1RSRAYS editor (avail at www.f1racingsim.com), Benetton has the same power rating as the above two. Then McLaren, Jordan, Sauber and Ligier(?) are grouped well below. Then the last 4 are grouped far below that. I would have hoped for more variability than that. There is also apparently a driver factor, though I haven't seen an editor that lets you address that. A very nice feature!

With the editors out there for GP2, you can easily edit the players car power to whatever you want. --- Arthur

True. I use GP2edit. You wouldn't be able to change cars on the fly and get a difference, you'd have to exit, run GP2edit, then re-enter. But doable. Also, doesn't the GP2 "grip" for the player use a different system than the grip of the AI drivers? As far as I know, I can't emulate the grip of any particular AI car/driver preset with any confidence. There must be some similar function in F1RS, but I haven't seen any editor that lets you address the AI driver "grip" (or whatever one call's the driver individual differences). I would sure reduce Alesi's :-)

There does seem to be a difference in the cars. Some have more power ,slightly better handling and braking. These factors also make you setups change with each type of car.
