Consider a race lap of 8:30 this would give a 9 lap race around 1hr 15m 10 laps 1hr 23m and an 11 lap race 1hr 31m
My PB is 8:32 and I thought I was in Zen mode (catch flies with Chopsticks).  :o

Looks like I'll be bringing up the rear!!  :P

Fuel wise the gt3 cars can do 9 laps with just one of them able to do 10 laps at my pace which may be more or less depending on grip levels and how hard people push or how much aero they drag around track. I noticed in some mp races in gt cars there that any aero damage can cost lots of time per lap while also burning some more fuel.

I have yet to test fuel on gt2 cars and only did one full fuel run in one car on mediums and they did wear quite a bit after 9 laps. Concentration for 9 laps or more is a real challenge around here as any error will be punished pretty hard.

I have put a server up its using my public server password and I would like everyone using that to run ptracker same as on the nite. Even if people dont want the app on screen as long as its activated it will send data back to the server. The app itself is very handy able to view server lap data and also share setups ingame while also providing checksum data that is currently broken at the nords track.

I did a 10 lap run in the Z4 which is the only gt3 car that can make it on fuel, made it by 1 liter but brushed a wall on lap 8 which then cost me 16 seconds per lap and about 2-3 more liters per lap. Definatly dont want any damage and the medium tyres will be quite a bit slower by lap 10 then they were at the start.

Wally/Marty, I'm in if there is still a spot open.

Not sure what car at present, I think, for me at least, a car I am comfortable in and not necessarily the fastest would be the prudent choice. 10 laps at Nords is going to be hard enough, might as well try and enjoy it. lol.

I did run fuel run of at least 3 laps in each car with at least basic setup adjustments, pushing quite hard and the figure I have come up with fuel use for the nite is 118% this will give the worst fuel guzzler 7.153 laps and the best mileage car will get 8.390 according to my fuel numbers.

In a 10 lap race it will give some strategic options for how to setup the race.

Not at all sure which car i should jump in Marty?
I love nords. Still only know 1% of the track. That's the long straight. From there I'm just guessing.

Still yet to do a green lap on RSR usually have had an off in the 1st few sections.

recommend pressing "Ctrl-I" and have race line to assist you get used to it.
Worked wonders for my mates when they pop in to give it a go.

Only marty has aids! Could be worth a try though Rolz. Never liked the suggested breaking zones with racing line on.

Agree, the braking zones suck, but the line helps on how the corners work  :)

I move the track map to be directly below the virtual mirror so I can see what corner is coming up next. Otherwise I get lost.

Bahhh, flying blind is the way to go!
I think we agreed to have a run together on Friday night if anyone else is keen.
