	The packs were balanced by driving laps around two representative tracks. Over 70 cars were tested to find the 28 cars used for this pack.

Over 75 cars were tested to find the 31 cars used for this pack. The pack sizes vary a little bit in size depending on how easy it was to find even-ish performance.

	'''Note for the Assetto Corsa tryhards that will look at the mods and start whining about tires not being the same or horsepower or driver aids and what not''' - the pack is balanced exclusively on LAPTIME. Some cars may have street tires. Some cars may have slicks. It doesn't matter. They produce a lap time that make them competitive with each other which is all that matters. I have removed the tire change options from the cars that were not the ones used for the balancing test.

	The GT Challenge is a series of roll-a-car-class races designed to replicate the lineups of different Gran Turismo race series. That is, if you entered eg. the FF challenge in Gran Turismo, you would expect to find the usuals like a Toyota Yaris, a Mitsubishi FTO, a Honda Accord and probably something like a Peugeot 206.
