I'm counting on the "blue flag" app working on the map on the 28 lapper! :)

I hope Wally didnt change it to 28 laps, Rob was on the practice server last nite and a full tank in his ferrari gt2 was just over 12 laps. He can just make the 23 laps on one stop but 28 would be a stretch for most cars. Would be fine for the lotus but also at around 1:50 per lap 28 laps would be a bit longer then the 45 min I think is the intended race length.

No, it's always been 23 laps.

Lets hope the 458 GT2 is the thirstiest car at Monza, aero setup could also have a fair impact on fuel consumption there I think but if thats only just going to make a one stopper lets hope all others can do it, pretty sure Wally has tested all cars with a fuel estimate but its can be quite different in a real full tank run.

The Evora GTC here can do 16 laps on my race setup and likely a bit more with lower grip levels and traffic at the start of the race. Even the 458 GT2 may get an extra lap for the same reason and at Mugello I did run 17 laps in the mclaren in race 2 so I think that will make it quite easily.

Really?
I wrote down the season when it was first announced and had 25 laps for Monza (and 20 for Spa). ???

2+2=√16

When I say "always", I mean since I changed it ;)
I did adjust laps very early on, possibly after round 1, as some cars would have needed 2 stops.

I guess I missed that adjustment as last week I was still expecting 20 laps.
(I checked again after I found out it was different on the night)

Just hopped in for some practice and have been called back into work. Sorry for the absolute last minute notice!

I know given the number of pit bays there may not be any reserves but if there is I hope they get my spot :D

Sorry folks, see y'all next week.

Track was fighting me on every turn... ;)  It hit me halfway through the second race: why am I bothering with it if I simply can't enjoy it?  I'm tired anyway, might as well just have a beer and watch something :)

Apologies for the crap in the first race, my driving was rather sub-standard.
