Server Suggestion NERF the Mercedes SLR

[Eistee von Aldi]

Suggestion Description:
The SLR is a exremely overpowered vehicle right now, it has better handling and acceleration than all the other supercars and the functional top speed is not low enough to make up for it. It is faster than all the other cars, including the ones that cost over 4mil like the Bugattis or McLarens and with upgrades it can even go head to head with a 20mil Mazda Furai.

In the Racing events my org is hosting, the SLR has scored 70% of all points given out this season.

The SLR could be 5-10mph slower in top speed and STILL be the best car.

Why should this be added?:
- It's OP

What negatives could this have?:
- people who buy one complain

What problem would this suggestion solve?:
SLR being too op

Instead of nerfing the car. Why not just blacklist the car from Your racing event?

Why not balance the cars. Why should cars that costs 4.4mil be worse in every aspect. This is not just about racing.

Also not everyone can just buy a new car, they are expensive. its not fair to ban them

Nerfing the SLR would likely have the same effect on people wishing to participate in your race.

You can nerf the SLR significantly and it would still be the best. That is the point I'm trying to make, it is A LOT better than the other cars not just a little bit

Wtf are these replies.

He isn’t upset that the SLR is winning the racing events, the result itself doesn’t really matter. What he is doing, is using data from the racing event, which acts as a controlled environment, to highlight something he’s been noticing for a while: the SLR is consistently outperforming everything else in its class by a pretty huge margin.

The races are nothing more than data points here. When you put multiple cars from (roughly) the same tier into the same conditions and one of them repeatedly pulls ahead that strongly, it becomes a lot more obvious that there might be a balance issue, as pointed out in the main post.

TL;DR
The point isn’t “make the SLR win less in these races.”
The point is: these races made it very clear just how far ahead the SLR is compared to the rest of its class (and even compared to above its class), which is why he’s calling for a nerf.
