    Hello, friends!

    Is it worth buying an M1 procar? I already have an M1 gr.4, but I didn't quite understand the difference, just a little information on the forum.

    As far as I understand this is difference in engine speed and tires?

    This is a quote from Alex : "The Procar is lighter than the Group 4 version as sprint-type components are used. The engine's rev limit has also been raised, allowing for a bit more power to be freed up. All these changes together mean that can lap a few seconds quicker than the Group 4 car, even though both use the same tyres." Source.
    The Procar also has a lot more liveries.
    I think it's worth buying them both, but i'm a big fan of old cars and definitely this Procar version. I have good memories seeing my childhood heroes like Lauda, Piquet,... racing these cars on Zolder.

    Like others said, it's bit heavier, bit slower version of Procar. For me personally it's definitely worth of for sounds alone (different exhaust - different, very sexy intake sound) but then again i'm big fan of BMW and classic racing cars. :)

    Edit. Lol exactly other way round, i touhgt you were asking If gr4 version is worth it :D So If you like gr4 one and want faster version of it then yes it's worth of it.

    I kinda blanked the Gr.4 version on the basis of already owning the ProCar.. I do however want (/need) to learn heel and toe for the updated physics, and I guess the Gr.4 version might be a touch easier for that?

    "Very sexy intake sound" is intriguing me too. :)
