Hello,
That was fun, even though I drove alone for a long time.
Yeah, exactly, why did you have such an incredibly fast pace?
I'd love to join again, though. I still need to work on my pace.
Maybe I'll get back to you @ matika!
about driving lessons.

Congrats Digit, Foosa and Flash - no idea where you get that pace on a full tank at the start, once I got into a rhythm I was doing 22s but the first stint I could only muster 23s which cost me.

It was very enjoyable though seeing how things panned out at the end.

I opted for slightly shorter stints of 15 laps instead of 17 or 18.

The Citreon was on my short list but didn't quite seem good enough on tyres in testing or fuel, although maybe a bit more fuel burning helped with pace, I opted for fuel saving and better tyre wear and the Porsche suited me better on this track, I nearly opted for the Audi TT but it seems to have lost its natural fuel saving capabilities.

Think that's the first time I've driven that track on GT7 - What a shame PD just ignore it, crazy!

Thank you all for taking part in this race, I took a few quick photos after the race, and I have to say, this track really looks good.

Apologies everyone, I need to delay the start of the race by 10 minutes. There's a thunderstorm in my area, and I don't want to risk losing power right at the beginning. Delaying by 10 minutes is the safest option.

Is the grid still full for later?

morning, with it being such a long race will there be a compulsory break?

No but because refuelling is x1 this gives enough time for at least a toilet break but not enough time to go for a walk 🤣

Hi, is there any voicechat planned?

Psn Party ?

I want to suggest setting the variable speed rate to 2x for better visual variety during the race and increasing the feeling of passing time. It'd also look more interesting on stream without sacrificing anything. It won't make the race harder (just a bit of temperature drop I assume, I don't think anyone uses shadows as braking references) and it won't look unrealistically fast on 2x

Just to be sure - starts 17:00 UK time BST ? 

Tell you what I'm having hard time deciding what car to choose this time 😄 I might go for something different 🤣

I'm fine with both 1x or 2x. But it does affect a bit because, as it gets late faster, the track temperature drops (a bit) faster as well, which affects avg. tirewear.

To be fair, variable weather doesn't change the strategy. It doesn't really affect anything, except it makes the time pass faster.

Yes, it's 5pm UK time, 6pm CET.   I'll set variable time to X2 as suggested.   No voice chat unfortunately and refuelling is really slow because it gives you enough time for a small brake.

I have just been informed my Internet at my new house won't be up till next Monday. For this outside reason I will have to drop out of the race. My apologies and still thankful for the opportunity. I will not miss this a second time. Best of luck to those who participate.

To answer the first question:

Equal cons: OFF

Variable speed rate: 1x

Refuelling speed: X1 (we'll need it)

Conditions won't matter that much in this race, so I'll just set it to random.

 

About the players that will be in the race, I really can't say because I just don't know if someone will drop out of the race last moment. 

But I'll try to make a final list by Friday evening.

 

To everyone: if you can't make it, please withdrawd from the race, so I can confirm other players.
