World series event: World Series 2026 - Exhibition 1 - Round 1

I did two races. In the second one, I started from 7th position and finished 5th.
I made one pit stop.
The race started after it had rained, but the track had already dried out. I started on medium tires, as expected. 
At the end of lap 7, I pulled into the pits, topped off the gas just a little bit, and switched back to mid-compound tires.
There was no rain.
The race was clean. No incidents.
Both the first and second races.

WOW, first time I have ever done a race in the dark! Not sure what is worse, rain or darkness! 

Qualifying wasn't bad, got on the track as the 3rd car and had a good enough gap that I was able to qualify in 3rd position with a 3:21.098 lap time.

Start of the race went really well, no pushing or ramming. 

Pitted on lap 7 using the same tires, no rain in this race! I thought I had enough fuel to complete the race so didn't bother getting fuel, that would haunt me later on! Lap 10, had 1/4 of a tank of fuel! Made lap 11 till Virage Porsche and then the fuel alarm came on .9 of a gallon left! Had to pit and 2 Mazada 787 B's passed me. There was no way to catch them so I settled for 5th place which isn't bad in the Porsche 962 C '88! 

I just entered to e first race, it said 0% water on the track and the radar showed no rain. There was rain sound coming through but I went with the radar and it was wrong. How can you tell if it's a wet start? It was raining so next time I'll ignore the radar and track wetness and go with what I see

It is such a missed opportunity to move this race to later in the nations cup (maybe the finale?) and use the new hypercars... When I saw Le Mans, i though for sure it will be with the modern hypercars but to my dismay its group C. Is it just me or is this just a really stupid decision?
