    Hi I'm new here and am still learning about race classes. I was having a discussing with someone about The 458 Challenge vs a GT2 M3 E92 times at Brno.

    When I look at the specs of the 458 Challenge it has 561HP compared to E92 GT modeled in SRW which is 484HP, but the E92 has way more torque. I believe the 458 would beat out the E92 at Brno because of all the turns there.

    Can the 458 challenge do this?

    I think the 458 would win.

    Agreed. The challenge cars aren't actually very quick by race car standards, they're very quick cars, but they won't keep up with a proper race car with a real aero kit. In fact with out an aero kit the 458 challenge actually produces a little bit of rear end lift, about 6 pounds. Now if you want to compare a de-restricted 458GT2 and a de-restricted M3 GT2, the 458GT2 is much quicker.

    I find the 458 challenge quite lively at high speeds, it desperately needs rear downforce
