Race 1
AbleArcher hit bradc in the rear corner in a tight corner, but I don’t think it was clearly anyone’s fault. AbleArcher was braking slowly up the inside; bradc turned in on him a bit (on the racing line) – racing incident.
Did you happen to save a replay of this Wally? Reason being I'd like a 2nd look at it as that was a really weird incident and I certainly didn't expect to get turned around. Before the braking zone we were side by side and just before I braked I used my look left button and it appeared as if I was clear, so hence I remained on the racing line and turned in....I'm not disputing your decision, but would love a look at it because I don't know how to replay stuff on my pc - I'm sure I've not ticked a box somewhere... 
The 2nd race wasn't much better for me despite making some set up changes which improved my lap times. I must have been on the only down hill section of the start grid (lol  ) because as soon as I pushed the clutch and selected 1st gear the car moved forward.....I think I'd got to about 6th on the opening lap only to be 15th after the drive-thru and then I think I got back to 11th for the flag. The last 5 laps on worn out tyres were a lot of fun as it felt like I was catching the next group fighting of AGK, Rob and co but I could never quite bridge the gap.
Yes, I'll upload the replay tonight.
Here's the race replay: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gufty-7y4VoH7IVcnSo01NVaMdRnn3Nc/view?usp=sharing

The reduced damage doesn't affect the tyre wear.
I had some good racing with Freezer most of the night. Our cars' front and rear bumpers seemed to be magnetically attracted a few times. The braking differences between the Alfa and the BMW didn't help there.

Two sprints of 13 laps at Nurburgring (GT).

This is the correct data.acd file for the Merc, up in the 1st post. Both the practice and race servers have been updated with this data file.

Server's up.
I set damage to 75%, not wanting too many races to be ruined by gearboxes.

We'll see how the damage pans out after a round of two (people might learn how to deal with it), but if it ends up being ridiculous, I will reduce the damage rate.

Which tyre won't matter to me, gearbox only lasts 11 laps.
Oh, that's bad. What if we did 3 ten lap sprints instead? That would be good for the tyres too 
Didn't you have some blown up engines in the V8's last season? Would be a pity if these kind of things affect the championship too much.
I don't mind it if you have to be more gentle with the gearbox and perhaps sacrifice a little speed to make it survive.

The Porsches in particular suffer a lot from shifting weight balance as fuel gets lighter. The other cars don't change balance as dramatically.
That could explain it
There's a slider on the aero tab of the setup where you can see the effect of different fuel levels on the aero balance.

Getting used to the twitchy cars like the Porsche and Audi on the safe presets is a must, at least for me.
Maybe thats my problem I hardly play ACC and when I do I just choose aggressive and go. I had fun on Tuesday but was off the pace, and both races about half way through got horrible oversteer

I vote no as so far, the BMW is the only gearbox I can make last 20mins 
I destroyed an Alfa gearbox after 15 mins.
