I have a confession, I may have been a bit premature in my rage.
Certainly things have changed, but not by much even in the TC500 category. Certainly the 4WDs have lost out, but I think they had the advantage on all but epic long tracks anyhow. Still, shame to see them go, maybe a test race or two to see.
What's certain is that anything 'large' has gained considerably, a few of my cars are now woefully underpowered, but we're talking only half a dozen. Sadly my 330i has bit the dust, 434pp is way lower than it should be I think...
But, cars like the S-Type R and the Toms Chaser have gained well. Both are around the 600Bhp mark, so very powerful cars, and pulling easy 1:15 laps of our special TC500 track that we have (typically think 1:18 as a reasonable lap).
There are some clear avoid cars still mind, so not all great...

Chasers war on cornering

Nope - This was like this on every corner..
Actually I just like this car.
So, unless you had a F/R car that was on the limit of tuning you're probably going to be alright. Oh, and unless you used a 4WD car , Chris.
Race on!

I reckon I could still give it a run with the rex.. will work out better anyways when they put it back to old style and all your cars are overtuned, and scooby is still 500.. :-P
Over tuned it is. I did some practice laps last night and the 635Bhp Toms is unrealistic at best. The Carlton was good with similar BHP (more actually) but really only handy down the straights. Both the S Type R and the XFR Jags both handle the power boost nicely. My IFS is no slouch now either but on a fast open track I think that the rex will be owned - boost may reign that in though.
One thing for sure, FWD cars are out. In fact it's one reason I'd say they're going to fix this as any seasonal with low powered cars (like the current one) is easy with a F/R car. Indeed I've been creaming in the cash with an old Nissan. I might make a post actually as I have a picture of it...
