Audi is very good, not trying to sound elitist or anything, but the Audi in my testing was running the same times. It requires less work to drive but this means you have to drive it like a demon. If I made it equal to the other cars for the less skilled drivers, this would mean that anyone like me, Breeze et cetera will dominate in that car.
Apart from the Mercury, which I knew might be a little too fast as it was the fastest for me as well, the others should be balanced.

I'd keep the Audi as it is, but the Mercury I'll do a rebuild on that and see what I can come up with. It should only need to be around 0.2 - 0.4 slower. With that rebuild, how was the other cars, were they balanced enough?

Yeah don't get me wrong I can drive the Audi but it's so much hard work compared to the others but on the plus these are mint with no TCS just enough slip to keep you on your toes.

Yeah, it's because there is a little trick.

For example, the Nissan usually is hard to drive due to the Tubro Lag, but with the way I have built then, you won't experience it as bad. By this I mean with using the restrictions (Nissan 30%) this means that 30% of the Turbo lag will also be reduced making the car easier to drive/ throttle control. Just something to keep in mind for difficult cars.

I understand that the Audi is hard to drive, but if weather or Night comes into play, the Audi will by far have an improvement in terms of position, and if driven and tuned correctly, it will already keep up with the other cars. So it's a good car, you just have to work for it.

Yeah I can appreciate that for sure rain should feature with these but night is a no go because no headlights.

Right, so is it just the Mercury that needs a tweak?

If so, I guess they are all good to go?

Will give final build for Mercury Tonight, or tomorrow.

Yeah if you adjust the Cougar then we can get a track list sorted and compile some times.

In 1994, these tracks which we have in the game were used:
Daytona International Speedway
Sebring International Raceway
Road Atlanta
Lime Rock Park
Watkins Glen International
Indianapolis Raceway Park
Laguna Seca Raceway

Two other tracks were used as well, making a total of 9 tracks. So a 9 week championship? Just a suggestion.
The other two tracks I would use for terms of balancing would be...

Grip Tracks: 5 / Acceleration Tracks: 4 / Speed Tracks: 2

Monza Full

Grip Tracks: 5 / Acceleration Tracks: 4 / Speed Tracks: 3

Road America

Grip Tracks: 5 / Acceleration Tracks: 4 / Speed Tracks: 4

So my Full suggested Calendar would be:

Daytona International Speedway
Sebring International Raceway
Road Atlanta
Lime Rock Park
Watkins Glen International
Indianapolis Raceway Park
Laguna Seca Raceway
Monza Full
Road America

If you want to make it a 10 round series, splitting it into 5 - 5 with a 2 week gap inbetween, I would suggest using Silverstone GrandPrix as they are all equal there.

New build for 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7

Engine: No Restrictor Plate
Platform & Handling: Race Brakes
Drivetrain: N/A
Tire & Rims: N/A
Aero & Appearance: 335 Front Width - 370 Rear Width
15% Power Restriction

New build weighs a tiny bit more, but has less grip as well. Did another test, runs within the mid pack now rather than a tenth ahead of all the pack.
