    This is a poor comparison. IF you wanted to see which was faster they can't be on the same track. It would have to be single car runs. I can tell because the Gen 7 car is absolutely struggling behind the gen 6 car. It's going way off line in some areas and that's screwing with the actual speed. Not hate! Just constructive criticism.

    Awesome video. Gen 7 is slower in all forms of racing, even with bigger brakes and wider tires. Less downforce and hp makes a huge difference. (And for those that claim Gen 7 makes more downforce, that is wrong. 2014 peaked with downforce at around 3500 lb. Gen 7 was around 2000 for non superspeedway and 2500 for superspeedway, which has already been reduced this year)

    It's hard to compare the two, but it's an interesting exercise in any case. The modern car should handle better than the older one, especially on the road course, it's a different size wheel with lower sidewalls, the suspension is better, etc. There are also differences between the tire compounds in the different eras, the newer tires are designed to wear more quickly because the cars' chassis are so much better. I'd be curious how the road course looks at lap 15 in terms of relative speed. In the end, there's no beating an extra 150 hp...

  • @wickedgood1984
    @wickedgood1984 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The problem with this whole simulation is that the gen 6 car is a solid axle drive train where the transmission is attached to the engine and use an drive shaft to turn a solid rear axle. and the gen 7 is a rear transaxle setup where the transmission is in the rear with independent rear suspension and a torque tube run from the engine to the transmission in the rear. I don’t think this simulator takes in to account either of those setups. So this isn’t really a good setup. I’d say the closest we could get is iracing. Or comparing actual live data

    • @v8ramair145
      @v8ramair145 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Excellent question. It's likely GTE was a tiny bit faster at technical tracks, such as Sonoma. But of course in ovals where horsepower matters (or maybe even high speed road courses), GTE would possibly lose. The only shared data is...GTE is based off GT2, and GT2 ran in Sonoma several years prior to 2014. Their lap times were:
      Pole: 1:34.263
      Race lap: 1:35.112.
      The only time Gen 6 ran the full circuit was 2019, which was reduced horsepower and downforce:
      Pole: 1:34.598
      Race lap: 1:37.194
      To compare 2005 GT2 with 2014 GTE, at Road America, GTE ran a 2:03 where GT2 ran a 2:08.
      So a rough prediction would be GTE running a low 1:30s and 2014 Cup running a low to mid 1:30s.

    • @Med_41
      @Med_41 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @v8ramair145 more even than I thought. Although it makes sense, cup has more hp, and the GTE has more downforce.

    • @v8ramair145
      @v8ramair145 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @Med_41 I think the biggest problem for Gen 6 is that it weighs several hundred pounds more than a GTE car (~2700 vs ~3300), and GTE has far more mechanical grip, especially since GTE front tires are 13 inches wide and rears are 14. Gen 6 only had 12 inch wide tires all around. Much harder for grip with less tire and that much more weight. However, as far as downforce, I'm guessing Gen 6 has more at 200 mph (3500 lb, per articles in 2014, which means it could drive upside down at 200 mph), but I wonder what the comparison is at say 100 mph.

  • @nathan1sixteen
    @nathan1sixteen 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    While I’m sure the 2014 car is faster, putting the 2024 car constantly in dirty air doesn’t make this a fair comparison. I’m not gonna go and look up qualifying speed for the 2 cars, but, you can visibly see the Next Gen getting tight at Bristol as it can’t wrap the bottom. Also, the improved braking performance at Watkins Glen wasn’t shown at all. The Gen 7 car can drive WAY deeper into the corner than the 2014 Gen 6, so it should be able to close that gap SIGNIFICANTLY versus what we saw here.
    Again, the 2014 rules package was great and I’m sure it was faster than the Next Gen, but this comparison isn’t fair.

    I don't think this takes all differences into account. The new car has wider tires, much better brakes, and better suspension. Daytona is accurate, and the intermediate is probably close. The short track and road course would probably go to the new car because of the added grip and stopping power.

    Man whoever made the Next-Gen car model (or adapted it for Assetto Corsa from something else) needs to increase it's size. The cars are roughly the same size as the previous generation, but that thing looks *tiny* compared to the Gen 6 car.

    Wait, you’re telling me that the Gen 6, with its solid rear axle, smaller brakes, higher profile tire and archaic steering box is hitting the same braking points AND going faster through the turns at Watkins Glen than a NextGen? I can believe the oval speed difference, but there’s too much going against the Gen 6 to not think there’s some shenanigans afoot.

    • @v8ramair145
      @v8ramair145 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Braking zones should be less for NextGen, but considering the less downforce, I can buy similar turn speeds because Watkins Glen has high speed turns. BUT, even in slow speed technical tracks like Sonoma, NextGen still is multiple seconds slower than Gen 6. If you compare lap times, NextGen is a big disappointment in terms of raw speed. I'm wondering if also Goodyear has something to do with it.

    • @THEWINDTUNNEL
      @THEWINDTUNNEL  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The Next Gen is considerably slower at the Glen. The only thing that does better is the braking (as you saw on the Bus Stop) the therorical qualy lap times are based on real lap times

      @v8ramair145 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @alanjohnson911 I wholeheartedly agree. Which is why I quit watching NASCAR after 2014. However, an interesting observation: I overlayed the Hendrick Track Attack Gen 6 car with 850+ hp with the G56 car when they both ran at VIR, with their in-car laps. I cannot believe how much better the handling of G56 is compared to Track Attack. Although the Track Attack did get down the straights much faster, it is beast to handle that much HP at a place like VIR. But of course, that's also why 2014 racing made it rely heavily on driver skill.

      When I say Gen 6 cars handled great, in context I should've worded it......handled great for a non independent rear suspension, non-coilover shocks, solid axles and recirculating ball steering (non rack/pinion). For the suspension technology carried over from the 60s-70s obviously with more modern technology updates, it handled very good...not to mention when trying to hook up 950 HP.

    Go back to 95, even faster yet, I built a road racing car out of a 93 Camaro, it's about 300 pounds lighter than the cup cars, I built the original gen 2 LT1 to 625 NA HP my best lap on the Glen is 1:16.244, I never thought to compare it before, I can't believe how much money they have into these cars to make sure that they are very slow.
