Well it's a Dodge and you have raced it 500+ times. How many miles does it have? If it has low mileage, get rid of it or else drive it till the wheels fall off.
Well that's literally why they renamed it to Handling..
So a catherham or lotus are worst at handling than some of the SUVs?
Handling is only the visible part of how quickly it makes it round a track, Race results take into account weight and other bits. You don’t see suvs beating caterhams on twisty stuff.
I found a few RL laptimes for comparison... ok so the type of Caterham varies and they're all quicker than the 270 listed AND it's the Porsche Macan Turbo (400PS) rather than the S version with Perf Pack: Hockenheim Short Caterham R300 Superlight - 1:13.30 Porsche Macan Turbo - 1:16.10
My Rex is 666 versus theirs being 633. Mine has higher top speed, lower 0-60, better handling, and is lighter. I lose the hairpin (and the City Streets as well). Reason? Their car has faster off-the-line acceleration. Even if it did (and why would it?) the race isn’t 10 feet long. My faster, lighter, better handling car would make up that initial disadvantage, especially in the wet where handling is key. Or not, apparently.
I dont get why red cars are always better than others... Exaclty Same weight.... same tune... i have better mra... lower 0-60... but i dont win What is this?

To be honest there are loads of really unpredictable results in this event. It's a close your eyes and cross your fingers that you win situation.

Why is it now able to win against a 27rq macan at 1.3 in haiprin road? Or to wjn againsg other 1.3 legendaries with worse stats?
I can't help you with that one but engine upgrades give a big boost on offroad races
Why do they do that though, makes no sense
@Hutch_Tim has mentioned that for some unknown reason, engine upgrades also increase traction. This is why 969 is 99% of the time the optimal tune for cars that will be used in adverse conditions.

I think it was that off-road drags are often traction-limited for the whole race, so a 933 would draw with a 333. To combat this each engine upgrade adds a tickle of traction. I think...
With the Macan Turbo PP, I found the the regular white one was beating it on most tracks despite being heavier. I think that was pre-pl7 changes, and mostly off-road. Mine is 369 now and wins most stuff at last.

Yeah I know, but why does engine upgrade increase traction? Shouldnt traction only be a factor of weight and tires (and drive type)? And handling for corners. But not power. This is what messes a lot of the weird results it seems.
@TD42792 there was a whole thread on EUTB a while back. Hutch said they would take a look at whether it should be removed or reduced, but I don’t think that will happen any time soon.
If they called the engine upgrade ‘drivetrain’ instead it would make more sense - upgrading the engine, TCS, differentials, clutches etc like in Gran Turismo. But it’s way too strong right now making a 969 Audi RS7 beat the 363 918 spider on wet slalom which is silly.

But the 270 gets stomped by over 2 seconds:
It *feels* wrong, but as with a lot of results, I’d love to see it in real life. The Macan IS monster fast...

Welcome to common events, where cars performance is made up and the stats don't matter
for compensation a mra t-shirt would be accepted as well.
red cars have a speedboost confirmed
