    Performance class is quite the arbitrary judge of a car as different terrain and tracks lead to different attributes taking center stage.

    But what if we took performance class at face value? FOR SCIENCE!
    So out of curiosity i ran Industrial Site Rallycross short track with all cars of PC6 or as close to it, 30 laps per car.

    This track greatly benefits light weight cars (and cars without ESC)

    Who won who lost?
    1. Ibishu Covet Track (M) (PC6) 28.641
    2. ETK I-Series 2400tix TTSport (PC6) 28.694

    These two ran away with it, by far the most powerful PC6 cars on this track, both filled up the best single lap times the Covet is harder to drive well, the ETK i is very easy to drive

    3. Bruckell LeGran Custom (PC6) 29.320
    4. Ibishu Covet Gravel (PC6) 29.584
    5. Ibishu Miramar Track (M) (PC6) 29.739 (could be quite a bit better, this car is not easy to drive)
    6. Garvil GrandMarshal Cus (PC6) 30.078

    Honorable Mentions:
    Ibishu Covet ZXi Special Edition (PC4) Manged a 30.2 ish. (was pushed off the leaderboard)
    Hirochi SBR4 RWD (PC6) Barely managed a 32 second lap. ESC gimps this car and there is nowhere for it to use its power. (i could get the stanced Pessima to do a 33 second lap)
    ETK i-Series 2400ix (PC4) Managed a 30.7 despite being 2 Performance Classes lower its faster than many other PC6 cars.
    Civetta Bolide 320 (M) (PC5) a surprisingly easy car to drive on this circuit. did a 30.7
    Garvil Roamer Fire Chief (PC6) This massive truck can still manage a 31 second lap.

    Question is, what track should i compare those results to? Thinking of finding a track that favours the higher power cars. Perhaps Hirochi Raceway Full circuit.

    Edit: a full list of cars tested.
    Garvil Barstow Tracksport & 423 V8 Roadsport Package.
    ibishu 200BX Street Tuned & Type-LS
    ETK 800 Series 856tx
    ETK K-Series Kc4t (Has ESC, but its not as intrusive as the other ESC cars)
    ETK i-Series 2400tix TTSport & 2400ix
    Garvil Grand Marshall Custom
    ibishu Covet 1.5 ZXi Special Edition & Street Tuned & Track & Rally-Gravel.
    Bruckell LeGran Custom
    ibishu Pessima Street Tuned (only did 10 laps in this, its awful)
    ibishu Miramar Track
    Bruckell Moonhawk V8 Special
    ibishu Pessima 2.0 GTz
    Hirochi SBR4 RWD Base. (ESC Nightmare)
    Hirochi Sunburst 2.0 Sport S AWD & Police Package (ESC nightmare, this car will fight you)
    Civetta Bolide 320
    Garvil D-Series D15 Custom
    Garvil Roamer Fire Chief.

    Why don't you turn off the ESC? It's meant to slow you down, you won't be able to get any useful times with it in regular mode.

    Turn it off or at least use the sport mode.

    Didnt realise you could turn it off outside of free mode. Will do some retesting now. ETK K series is ~2 seconds faster but not enough to put it on the leader board. (im also tracking all the new times on a spreadsheet so i can give a more comprehensive leaderboard)
