New BOP adjustments regarding the tires for GT3 cars. As of now they nerfed the Ferrari too much. Merc will be the go to fast car. BMW isn't too bad. Audi still sucks. Macca seems to be decent still. We will see what happens next few weeks.

CHANGE LOG:

EasyAntiCheat

- Fix an issue with the iRacing updater that could cause it to incorrectly determine that EasyAntiCheat is not properly installed on the system, and thus ask you to install or repair it even when it is already properly installed. It is likely that you will be asked to install or repair your current version of EasyAntiCheat with this update, but once you have done so, you will then be up-to-date.


CARS:

Audi R8 LMS GT3

- Tires have been updated to better replicate the degradation characteristics of the tires provided by Pirelli for the 2017 Blancpain GT series. They should feel more responsive, with higher cornering stiffness, less rolling heat, and an increased wear rate.


BMW Z4 GT3

- Tires have been updated to better replicate the degradation characteristics of the tires provided by Pirelli for the 2017 Blancpain GT series. They should feel more responsive, with higher cornering stiffness, less rolling heat, and an increased wear rate.


Ferrari 488 GT3

- 2017 Season 4 BoP Adjustment: Reduced downforce.

- Tires have been updated to better replicate the degradation characteristics of the tires provided by Pirelli for the 2017 Blancpain GT series. They should feel more responsive, with higher cornering stiffness, less rolling heat, and an increased wear rate.


Ford GT GT3

- Tires have been updated to better replicate the degradation characteristics of the tires provided by Pirelli for the 2017 Blancpain GT series. They should feel more responsive, with higher cornering stiffness, less rolling heat, and an increased wear rate.


McLaren MP4-12C GT3

- 2017 Season 4 BoP Adjustment: Reduced engine torque.

- Tires have been updated to better replicate the degradation characteristics of the tires provided by Pirelli for the 2017 Blancpain GT series. They should feel more responsive, with higher cornering stiffness, less rolling heat, and an increased wear rate.


Mercedes-AMG GT3

- Tires have been updated to better replicate the degradation characteristics of the tires provided by Pirelli for the 2017 Blancpain GT series. They should feel more responsive, with higher cornering stiffness, less rolling heat, and an increased wear rate.

I thought the Audi was getting performance back or will that not be until the end of the season?

@2scoops Audi was reverted back to its "run A wing" everywhere performance from 2 seasons ago. Its speed is ok but it still sucks at taking kerbs and has that random snap oversteer issue that they don't seem to want to fix.

Will have to see how it has changed once I get my rig up and running again. Hopefully the increased speed outward the curb issues. I didn't really suffer from those anyway.

The audi has been suffering from snap oversteer and uncontrollable kerb movements since the previous BOP's and tire changes back in the beginning of the year. As long as you don't have to take a kerb it's fine, but just looking at one makes the Audi very unstable compared to the other GT3's out there.
@Bassetts will be pleased since the Mercedes seems to benefit a lot from the newer Pirelli tire model.

They might as well make them all the same and you can just pick which one you prefer, otherwise you will keep getting predominantly single car grids.
