KSS BRI

Just curious: why does KSS have a lower BRI factor (1.001) than GSS (1.002)?
With all that extra power, are the cars so difficult to drive that they're actually slower?

Maybe its because GSS is the "front engine red-head step child" of BRI? :lol: I honestly have no idea how BRI was worked or what factors gave us the numbers, but it seems a bit broken in our class. I repeatedly see folks who are great drivers win our class by a HUGE margin still be WAY down the BRI index. I wonder would a TToD repeat winner even make top ten in a GSS car?

Please dont take this as a complaint or that I am whining. I try to focus on driving my personal best, maybe besting the people in my class thats pleanty of fun (especially because we usually have a good size group). :beerchug:

To me, it looks like a typo that was never noticed. It was 1.011 for a long time which followed the progression, then became 1.001 which doesn't. :roll:

A KSS car will destroy a GSS car. I have owned/raced both, no comparison.
