100 Laps of Spa! - Community Event Official thread

What GR4 car best for spa?

Can't miss that event,  Porsche addict and Porsche Club Spa Francorchamps member 👌❤🙏. Good luck for everyone in advance ✌

Porsche, after a few test

Brake balance? Optimal shifting point?? do I rev it out?

I'm guessing RS and RM are optional if there's rain ? Interesting choice of cars btw !

I'll post all the details when I figure out what weather setting are the best. 

I'm looking for two short stints of rain, but majority of the race should be on slicks.

24 hr layout or Full course ? Grid start but not false start check ? Cheers

they are the same hahahahah xD

Technically not exactly the same regarding pit stops 😉 which is why I'm asking 

It will be Full Course, I'm even thinking about Rolling start since it can be really messy at the beginning.

Please make Rolling start 🙏

We already have more entries than we can fit in the lobby. If you know you won’t be able to make the event for any reason, please let me know as soon as possible so others have a chance to join in.

We still have about a week to go, so I’m sure we’ll get everything sorted out.

Maybe we can go for 2 splits so the top tier drivers can have a nice competition... otherwise I can stay as backup for the single split if there are A/A+ rated drivers ready to go. Also, will there be any training/test session? Cheers!

This will just be a single split. I'm not sure who would host the other one. You're absolutely free to run 100 laps of any track if you want, but I don't have any official hosts lined up, and I can't stream two separate splits at once. So for now, we're sticking with one split.

Can we have the full weather report ? ☔ 

Maybe start under rain ?? 🤞

Thanks :)

Settings are in. Typically, R08 signals heavy rain, so wet tyres are the go-to. For all other conditions, slicks or intermediates should work, making strategy absolutely critical.

Will there be no settings options available at all or can we adjust like the brake balance for example?

There will be no restrictions, you can use whatever you want, TCS, BB, ASM, Counter steering assists.

I would also like to mention that refueling speed will be set to 1l/s, which will give you plenty of time to stretch etc.

ASM and countersteering should be banned from the game completely. Those two just drive the car like an autopilot instead of the driver and also prevent those who use it to actually 'listen to' or 'feel' what information the car is giving to keep it pointing the right way and stay in control, but just intervene and counter all the big and small unwanted effects due to the drivers input. Or that is my view/opinion on those 2 assists anyway

So just to confirm, only thing we can adjust will be brake balance? All diff, suspension, aero etc will be unavailable to adjust? 

That's right, no setups allowed, BoP on.

So RS and RM tyres are optional not mandatory if there's random weather ?

What lap times are we looking at with the latest update making the cars slower? 

2.32 on soft tyres 

Are the 2x tire and fuel set in stone? 
just did a 20 lap cayman test run vs sophy

mediums survived with about 40% life left id say, and still one lap of fuel (screenshot taken just before finish line of lap 20/20)

so we good with 20 lap / 1h stints / 4 pitstops?
or maybe 3x tire/fuel makes more sense?

total race time 51:20.00
best lap (13) time 2:31.740 (digit will be doing 2:30 flat, mark my words)
average lap time: high 2:32 low 2:33 ish

so the prognosis is 5h event imo
