I've done 16 Gr.3 cars at the N'ring GP now. 1st to 14th are within 1 second.
Will you post the results? Interesting to see where they rank up
Had my first race with A-S and S-S drivers yesterday (I'm currently B-S) and that race happened to be the Fittipaldi one! Has that car been adjusted as I found it harder to control then the previous Fittipaldi race? Obviously I was being left behind, although I did finish 4 positions higher (11th) but I just couldn't get a decent qualifying lap in. Great car though.
Gr4 race was decent as I qualified 12th and finished 4th although 2nd was close to being had but I do feel as though I was cheating a bit as I used the Nissan GTR. Other cars are squirming yet I have mild understeer when the tyres are getting worn and I'm able to power out of the corners. admittedly, there are faster cars then the GTR.
I didn't do the oval race (Mazda I think?) as they're a sure-fire way of dropping DR/SR points.

N'ring GP. 12:00 hrs. BoP on. RHs. TCS usually at 2 and brake balance changed to suit. Only ran 5 laps. DS4. You can only get 20 cars on the leaderboard but I ran them all.
Bear in mind that the pole times in the Gr.3 event the other day were typically low 1:55s.
In almost all cases the Opt time was 0.3-0.5 quicker than the time achieved. Of the times on the list, the Aston lap and the AMG GT3 '11 laps were very close to Opt.
Some are nicer to drive than others, some are easier to get the laptime from. I would say you can almost ignore a tenth or two as being insignificant as it's so easily gained or lost - not least in the final chicane.
BoP looks like it works to me. And our point about most cars being equal until you have the talent to be able to extract the extra.
Of the results you can't see the NSX and Genesis were adrift of the main pack by 1.5-2 secs.

I have been playing this game for a while now, have yet to play online (will be trying soon).
What I can't work out is, why can you not win a race with the recommended car level? The new update with the Ferrari races I cannot get close to first position despite upgrading my car.
The campaign is more of a guessing game, what car/ what level do I need to win rather than skill based, does bug me a bit.
As for online I'm just hoping it's not a repeat of my forza days, just being relentlessly pushed off track when you get in the lead.

Testing times for grp3 at Suzuka East. BOP on, stock settings, adjusted brake balance where needed, ABS only.
Did this over a couple of nights... started by setting a reference with the RSR (as I know that car well), then max 10 laps per car. Some cars I only ran a few laps in as I didn't enjoy them to drive, though I did at least run a lap that hit the apex's!
Plenty of time left to find on most cars which I'll work on over the coming weeks/months now I have a base for each one.
Surprise for me was the Renault - I beat my previous best RSR reference lap in only a few laps - doesn't feel fast, but has a great front end, plenty of rotation, and it's OK on the exits. Citroen is fast too - may even be the fastest, but it's more tricky to drive (I'll have another, longer go in this one). Some cars feel fast but aren't (Alfa), some don't feel that fast but are pretty decent (RCZ)... I generally preferred the mid engined cars to drive as they tend to understeer less, and have better entry rotation. Z4 is one of the better handling front engined cars, but lacks a bit of pace. Jag is an evil little bugger on the power.
Agree withh Ferry... grp 3 is very well balanced

I won all the Ferrari events in the F40 at N500 with min weight and a few setting adjustments. Problem with adding power to road cars is you gain speed, but you lose exit traction and braking becomes harder. And with the strong boost effect for AI in off line, the faster you go, the faster the AI go... best to be consistent with your laps, catch the leader, then you might need to do some blocking when you get past.

The RS01 has good fundamental handling, but it gets destroyed in a straight line so was very difficult to race with when I used it in FIA events. With a buff of 3-5% on power I think it would be right up there.
Yeah, Suzuka East is more a handling track... will give the RS a run on the full track tonight... and the Citroen. TRL_Lightning has a 57.7 in one!Chris Stott said:

TRL_Lightning has a 57.7 in one!Ran 10 laps in the RSR to get a 1'58.8 reference lap (best session splits gave a 58.6, so a decent lap), then switched to the Renault and loaded the RSR ghost.
You're right about the Renault..
RSR ghost came through me just after the start. I could hold the gap through the Esses, but lost more time on the run from Dunlop entry to Degner. The car is difficult through the hairpin... very sensitive to entry speed and line, and will spin off the power at very low speed... odd. Even when I got through the hairpin, the RSR pulled more gap on the run to Spoon, and more on the back straight. Ended up over a second slower.
The Citroen is fast... but I struggled to get it to turn in at the Hairpin and Chicane. Could get a decent gap on my RSR ghost coming to the hairpin, and was up 0.3 on the back straight on one lap but lost all of that in the Chicane. I did find it harder to be consistent with - the line between grip and slip is much tighter than the RSR - but certainly has the pace for those with the skills. Ended up with a 1'58.998

On Suzuka, out of spoon I was getting overtaken by RSRs before half way up the hill i.e. with minimal tow. On Kyoto out of the last corner an M6 could overtake and pull back in well before the braking zone, actually not far off the finish line.Ran 10 laps in the RSR to get a 1'58.8 reference lap (best session splits gave a 58.6, so a decent lap), then switched to the Renault and loaded the RSR ghost.

Really enjoying the game (apart from the fact I can no longer show my scapes) I've been racing in a few lobbies lately & enjoying them a lot more than the sport races.
My friends & I have found a nice formula that means that GR3'4's can race each other on a pretty level playing field the GR1's are gone of course but it's produced some great multi class races over a 20 minute endurance event.
We set the max BHP @ 525, minimum weight to 930kgs, Tyres on x6, Fuel on x7, slipstream etc on Real & boost off.
It's produced some great races with GR1 results being decided by where they catch & pass traffic GR3/4's winning/losing by thousandths all in all just good fun.
Give it a go or look out for multi class racing rooms.

Some excellent racing can be had,
Even more so if it is friends in a chat too.
A lot of that raced every Sunday evening on GTA tried to run lobbies on GTS for Sunday’s too but no one seemed interested for some reason.
The best bit being that you can kick out any randoms that drive badly
