After a lot of speculation and testing, I believe I have found a way to most accurately perform dirt track late models in GT6, the video below explains it best, enjoy, and share your opinions!!

Hmmm. To simulate the loss of grip its quite nice.
But the other point of dirt models is the suspension movements. The grip on the dirt tracks is typically unpredictable unlike wet ahspalt due to the dirt surface which leads to the suspension movements. The driver must keep the car steady on dirt by costantly countersteering it everytime the car lost on grip at some point. Whilist on the wet ashpalt the surface is basically constant troughout the track.
The closest thing you can simulate those is to take the Challenger Touring Car or Camaro SS Touring Car to the Toscana and make it short on gears. Yeah, the Course Maker lacks Dirt and Snow tracks and i hate it.
I think that is my honest opinion to your idea

Cool, looks like fun. Too bad you can't make a 1/4 mile track.

Gonna have to try this ASAP.

Thanks man!! I'm going to have a lobby up within the next 20 min!!
Not sure, only tested with ovals as that was the objective, you could give it a shot though!
I had an oversized dirt brickyard in GT5 lol, but I'm really happy this worked out. Partially gotta thank @Moon_k for trying to get us to race nascar cars in the wet yesterday lolHmmm. To simulate the loss of grip its quite nice.

I haven't ever tried above 30 percent surface water. Even if I did, you still would have beat me to this find because I am terrible at setting up cars and would spin out all the time.

He's trying to simulate a dirt surface (because we can't do dirt in course maker) so the next best thing is a wet track.

Go to the GTPlanet Club, go to open lobbies, and it should be there.

A car that drives like its on a loose surface whilst on tarmac, not gripping but not drifting either. Suggest a car and I'll see what I can do 👍

It's all measured as best as I could.
Used the in-app 200m scale to measure 400m for everything. The car is not placed directly behind the starting line so had to measure that too.
Took 2 El Caminos in party play - which are just slightly longer than 5m and parked one before the other. Then I parked it perpendicularly and there was a bit of space left.
2 El Caminos in length (10m) + 1 El Camino in width (1,9m) + a bit of space left = 12m+-.
The trick is to keep adjusting the first "corner" to get the desired number.
