Plato's now claiming that Honda has more boost then his MG :lol:


(Can't believe I'm about to do this)

If the list he's posted on the official forums is accurate, then the Honda will have more boost.


Isn't the boost related to the previous races lap times?

I remember them saying something about because it rained at Rockingham (where they'd already had a boost reduction), the Honda's were not as far off the pace as expected so were effectively penalised again with less boost at Silverstone as a result, but because they were so far off at Silverstone thanks to that double penalty, they'd get a massive boost at Brands this weekend?

I think it works something like that, and because Nash is so crap laptime wise, the boost reduction for the MG team is never that much (because the difference between a good Plato lap and a good Nash lap is measured on a calender rather than the tenths it is for the two Hondas).

I can't remember it exactly but I think it's some complicated average lap time across all the team cars versus the fastest average of the race is used to calculate the boost levels at the next event.

I don't understand it either.

The list that Plato posted states that the MG's boost will be 0.025 bar above the baseline, whilst the Honda will get 0.050 bar.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Now you see, I much prefer that. It seems quite nice. However I think Tony Hughes should probably sue.
