Bentley is Back

I know it's not real life but the Boatley is still somewhat competitive in ACC so I'm wondering how it compares to the more modern machines in the real world.

Some leagues have BoP’d it and some of the old guard, which is nice as it makes for more variety on the grids.

The NSX is still in IMSA GTD iirc

Yes I think this was the end of the line for Honda/Acura in IMSA GT3. Gradient (JG Wentworth) is switching to the Mustang.  I also fear no McLarens on the grid after Pfaff bailed and Inception switched to Ferrari.

They're gone now

It's simpyl the car equivalent to the F4, the victory of engine power over aerodynamics. In this case largely showing that you can BoP a garage on wheels into a competitive window if you have to.

It's scary when you have one behind. If it's a straight I don't even defend because it's gonna beam past me anyways

I don't know about IMSA because I didn't really follow it but IIRC the Lexus had a pretty hard time of it this year in WEC, though that could just have been driver skill issues, so I was curious how the Bentley would fare given that it's more competitive in the game than the Lexus is.

[u/Afro_Sergeant → u/ponmbr]

lexus is given a much softer BoP in IMSA (it tends to be the reference car that they use for BoP)

Oh that shit fucking pulls, I managed to overtake an aston martin out of the exit of parabolica before crossing the finish line at monza.

[u/Jamalware_ → u/ponmbr]

It finished 10th overall last year in 24h of Dubai

ACC is not a good game to compare. If it was in iRacing there would be an actual question.

[u/ponmbr → u/OnePieceTwoPiece]

I know, I was just saying in ACC it's still semi-competitive so I was curious how it is IRL against the modern GT3s like the BMW M4, McLaren 720S Evo, Ferrari 296, etc.

[u/SlowDownGandhi → u/OnePieceTwoPiece]

the front engined GT3s tend to be relatively weaker in comparison to the rest of the field in iRacing compared to how it is irl though
