We're all familiar with that feeling: getting the best out of your favourite car, the one you've spent countless hours training to master... Then it all comes crashing down with a major update. Our beloved stallion now finds himself downgraded to the rank of gentle pony, and we have to start all over again to find the means to defend himself on the track.
Very recently, the LFM league - which needs no introduction with its almost one hundred thousand drivers - decided to apply the BOP (balance of performance) to its rules with the sole aim of perfectly equalising the chances between all the cars available in ACC.

Robin Tate, leader of the Bongo Racing community and newly-appointed Aston Martin clerk of the course, provides the answer. He, who recently became our partner, acts as WD's field reporter... And it seems to be working wonders for him. Take a look here!

The introduction of the new BOP system with LFM has reinvigorated this car and several others that had fallen from the leader boards. BOP in itself won't make one car more 'OP' than an other but the aim is to level the field so that all the cars, driven to their limit, are within a tenth or two of…
Bro....I am totally at least a half a second faster with my WHALENAP livery and I heard I can go even FASTERRRRRRR
