A lap takes approx. 2min 30sec. The Sierra has only enough fuel capacity for about 9 laps and I do not think
that Pittstop is working for this track. The only other option is to turn off Fuel consumption.
I would like a 40min race to start the season and see what the other drivers think after this race.
This is a very unforgiving track ,one little mistake in the wrong place and your race is over.

good point, nice someone does some homework, thanks Denis.   Phil, being fun runs, can we have damage set low? that would fix that problem. (I like low damage :) )
the fuel, can we make it so they will all make it on a tank? or at least fair consumption for all?

As Rooshooter said "unforgiving" I think of a dozen or so laps only managed to finish 1 and it was a 2.36 in the benz. A little more practice required me thinks

I should also say it's easy to miss a braking marker and it'll be a 4 min lap by the time you find your way back to the track

yep damage is off :) and 17 laps it is :D
I have set fuel rate to 50% or we can have 100% and a pitstop ?

now all i need is the setups or will I go with default ?

as not to be biased, if someone felt like testing the setups posted here and letting me know the 4 would be cool.

I'm more than happy not to pit.
I think the default benz with the tallest gears feels good here. No need to change anything.

We might need a non-standard setup for the Sierra at least, the default one is rubbish.

Found a little issue with this track. Don't spin at the left hander under the bridge. You just drive straight through into "floaty never never land" ;D
