Just finished watching the race. You had some good battles there with the Supras and Lexus. That's really weird about the M4. I wonder if it needs a BOP change.Well, that was pretty awesome. Had a bunch of great battles, made a few mistakes, ended up P2 behind the Aston Martin that just straight up took off once it got in the lead. I didn't have to make a 2nd pit stop, but the AI cars were doing it so to make things fair I came in for some fresh tires. Will definitely be doing this again, but might step it up a notch and do a true LeMans experience and use Prototypes and GT3 cars. We definitely need more Sophy compatible circuits with full 24 hour time cycle.
Edit: Just looked at the replay, and over half of the GT3 cars ran out of fuel near the end of their last lap.
Here are the results:

Ya, I don't know what to tell ya. Makes no sense that they block the liveries from being applied, but you can apply it and then convert to a widebody with no issue.
I was falling a bit behind until half way through the last lap when I started to catch back up, but only because the two cars ahead of me were stuck behind the Hyundai.
Ya, the AI needs a lot of extra in some segment to make passes at Suzuka. It's too difficult to pass before the bridge at the best of times.
I wonder how possible it is to make a well balanced grid with the KTM X-Bow, Radical SR3, Honda 2&4 and BAC Mono? That might be a fun series to set up as well.
IMHO, the same basic principles should work for these cars. Keep the downforce, power, and grip as close to the same as possible. This is why I opt for RH tires on everything rather than allowing the cars to run on street tires. The street tires vary from car to car, so the grip is inconsistent.
I ran Monos vs. SR3s recently, the former was much stronger, even at comparable PP (I didn’t bother to balance further, “it’s multiclass” being a good enough conclusion for my purposes).
Honestly fuel usage is so varied among the road cars you can’t really use them for endurance racing at all unless you swap a race car engine into them.
Sorry i was referring to the ratio.
Still, you have to look at the PP because two cars have have the same power to weight ratio, but one may have more grip than the other. For instance, wide body and wider tires will increase grip. Power to weight is an interesting metric but it rarely equates to balanced competition.Sorry i was referring to the ratio.
For example, i have two cars, one at 3.1 kg/bhp and one at 3.2 kg/bhp. How close should i aim to tune my third car (eg. 4.5 kg/bhp) before i consider it within an acceptable bracket?
Edit: sorry @Voodoovaj i may have misread your post with regards to p/w ratio. I'll leave the question open, anyway, for the other experts in this thread.

It was just an example.
In my 2.4 hour race I recently did, I had it set to 2x tire wear and 1x fuel. I find that Sophy does weird things when you mess with the fuel multiplier. Seems to do fine with tires. During that race I only had to pit once, but the AI GT4 cars ended up pitting twice. So I made a second stop for tires just so I wouldn't win my half a lap.
I’ll do my own thing with cars built from 2012-2015, 2016-2019 and 2019(Evo parts)-current.
