I made it home to do the second GT1 slot (8PM EST). I didn't have any time to practice, so I jumped in the AMG, since that was the meta last time around. There 166 points up for grabs. I qualified Q12.

The race started well. I managed to work my way up to the lead pack of seven cars for most of the race. Then on the first corner of the third lap, I got crunched in the crowd, picking up some damage, and losing the slip stream. Managed to bring home a P8 finish, though. Good enough. Won't be trying that nonsense again.
You did pretty good. It was cool to be on the same race, but I did not even noticed you fly by me when I went front Q3 to P14 on the first lap. It was a disaster, I went my own route from the front pack but nobody followed me to push.

I tried the 10pm slot, Q4, P13. I got a unrecoverable 3 sec penality barely scratching a a car while avoiding mayhem ahead on the first lap.

Same here. I was looking for you in the lead pack when I caught up to them, but you were nowhere to be found. I was hoping we might work together to break out from the crowd, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.
 
Except... the Bugatti won't do 17 laps (GT2/3 race length) without some serious fuel saving, the Porsche 919 on the other hand can be driven Harry Flatters for the entire race and still have ~1 lap of juice in the tank at the end, and is quicker in my tests than the Bugatti driven to save fuel, or with a pit stop to splash and dash. The Mazda VGT is also quicker, although that does need a little bit of fuel saving . I've been able to do some tests this week as no need to practice for SSRX...
It'll probably be a much easier choice in GT1, where nothing can make it on fuel. Though if you're in a Bugatti and get stuck behind literally anything else, you'll probably be in for a frustrating race as everything runs away from you down the straights while holding you up in corners.

Also, GT1 gets light damage for this round too!

Yes, I was thinking that, for once GT1 has the more clear-cut strategy than the lower leagues. Last time I remember something similar happening was the Gr3 oval race at Daytona where the Aston was the easy choice in GT1 as it was the only car that could make it on fuel, where there was a genuine choice in GT2/3 (Supra vs NSX vs others).

Slot 1: Qualified 6th, over 1s off of pole. At the start I got shuffled back, then got caught in the T1 carnage as a Huayra next to me got loose and spun across me and gave me front aero and suspension damage. I then burned most of my NOS to try to stay with the lead pack, only for the RX7 I was behind to also lose touch with the pack, so I bumped the RX7 for about a lap until we caught another solo AMG. The 3 of us somehow worked our way back into the Top 5 as others ahead kept crashing, but on the final lap, as we caught 4th place who'd just served a penalty, the car I was pushing moved to pass this slower car, but since I was pushing, I couldn't see the slower car until it was too late to avoid, and I ran into the back of him, giving myself damage once again, plus a 4s penalty. That dropped me from a potential 6th place (or better if others kept wrecking) down to 8th. The battle for the win only consisted of 2 cars by the time the final lap started due to all of the carnage. I then had to grind 3 Race A's to get my SR back to 99 from the bottom of S.

Slot 2: Qualified 6th again, and worked my way up to 2nd before T1, before bouncing off the wall at the exit and picking up damage because I once again couldn't see where I was going when pushing the car in front (yay bumper cam...). Fortunately 3rd place continued to push me, and I still had the slipstream of the leader, so I actually kept the spot. The pack stayed in a line until the final lap, when I once again hit the wall at the exit of the final corner before starting the last lap. No damage, but I dropped from 2nd to 9th (last car in the pack). When the inevitable mad dash to the finish started in the final corner, I took to the bottom of the track and squeezed between multiple cars as my car understeered back up the track due to the lack of banking on the bottom. That put me back into 2nd place, which is where I would finish for 266 points...and SR A.
Looks like I was in the same slot 1 as you, I didn't realize you were Blip. I had a bad start but managed to push someone else to the lead, then, like you said, literally everyone else crashed behind us. I just had to time my move and nitrous at the last turn and it was probably the easiest win I'll ever get in A+.

Not looking forward to next week, though. Monza is not one of my favorite tracks to begin with and I just can't get to grips with how the Bugatti drives, at all. I was thinking of pulling out the Toyota Hypercar as my secret weapon, but with the hybrid deployment cutting off at 150 like every other car now I'm sure it's not worth it. I guess I just actually have to practice...

I'm actually looking forward to Monza. I also don't like this track especially, but I really gel with high downforce cars, so the Bugatti is actually quite fun for me, especially with it being AWD. I just have to not make any stupid mistakes. Thankfully damage is light this week...
 
I think everyone’s just playing follow the leader and missing better options.
That's my feeling, too. When Daily Race C was Gr.1 at Monza a couple months ago, the Audi R18 was the meta. In Tidgney's video, the Genesis VGT was also pretty strong. The Bugatti didn't feature at all.

I've tried a few laps in both the Bugatti and Audi R18. I was significantly faster in the Audi -- though, as usual, still pretty slow. It's feeling like the best choice for me right now, but I'm going to try out a few others.

The biggest question in my mind is whether a no-stop strategy is viable. I've done some informal testing with a few different cars and it looks like it should be possible to make the fuel last 25 laps in most Gr.1 cars by short-shifting and adjusting the fuel map. It's a question of whether it will be any faster than running the car full out and stopping for fuel.
 
I tried the Audi and couldn't make speed with it like I could the Bugatti. The Bugatti just rotates so well, and unlike Watkins Glen there's really nowhere it can kill you due to the ridiculous lift-off oversteer it has. I wouldn't want to get stuck behind another car with it though...
 
Right, the results are in...

I tested 4 cars to determine race suitability: 2 Modern Le Mans Cars and 2 VGTs.

The candidates:

Audi R18 ‘16
Mazda VGT
Bugatti VGT
Porsche 919

For the tests, I did both qualifying and a race. For qualifying, I had a 5-lap warm-up to get used to each car then 3 flying laps in Free Practice (to best replicate what could be done on Saturday).

For the race, I set up a BoP Custom Race against the AI, to the GT2/3 race length. In order to best see how each car would do in a race situation, I set conditions as close to those seen in Free Practice as possible, fuel and tyre multipliers the same as in the race, and placed myself 16th on a 20-car grid – this would favour the cars that could get through traffic better, rather than simply being a 17-lap long time trial. This way, it would be similar to starting at the back of a GTWS grid with the added pressure of the possibility of being attacked from behind. The AI were set to “Professional”, and slipstream to “real”, with boost being “off”.

I would save fuel where necessary to ensure I completed the 17 laps without a stop. The only exception was the Bugatti, where due to its popularity I decided to see how it does over a 17-lap race in Fuel-save no-stop mode and driven flat out with a pit stop. (Fuel was dispensed at 10 liters/sec).

I’ll add notes as to the cars’ characteristics with each car’s result.

All fuel saving was done by short-shifting rather than fuel map, I prefer this as you can change “modes” literally on a gearchange-by-gearchange basis.

PLEASE NOTE: Upper-B driver, better drivers may have different results!

Audi R18 ‘16

QUALIFYING: 1:34.7
17 LAP RACE: 27m 37.4s
FASTEST RACE LAP: 1:35.8

This car needs short-shifting a bit – not much, change just before the end of the bar – and with it being a diesel there isn’t much speed difference by changing early. It is perfectly possible to drive flat-out for 2 or 3 laps at the start to maximise picking up places, then go into fuel saving mode and still be able to turn up the wick to pass a car now and then. I found this car very easy to place in the turns, this is particularly useful at the 2 tight chicanes, and although it’s not as quick down the straights as a Group C or the Mazda VGT, it’s about the same as the other Modern Le Mans Cars and certainly better than the Bugatti. It’s also nearly as good on the brakes as the Bugatti which may be useful come race day.

Getting through the field was relatively straightforward, it did take 2 or 3 laps to make a pass stick against the Mazda Group C car that I took the lead from, but apart from Group C or the Genesis Gran Racer VGT I could get past anything without too much trouble.

Porsche 919

QUALIFYING: 1:35.4
17 LAP RACE: 27m 45.7s
FASTEST RACE LAP: 1:35.9

No need to short-shift at all in this car – you can drive it like a rental for the entire 17 laps and it will still show just over a lap of fuel left at the chequered flag – with a bit of short shifting and some fuel map I can see this lasting 25 laps.

Not as easy to place in the corners than the Audi, and you do need to brake a little earlier, but may have the slight advantage on the straights. Of all the cars I tested for this comparison this one is, however, the most likely to get sideways exiting the T1 chicane with a heavy throttle – so if you are a bit of a throttle jammer then you may be best served elsewhere.

In traffic it’s similar to the Audi, except the longer braking distance make it less likely that you can make a move into the chicanes. A well-driven Group C car can hold you up for 2 or 3 laps, but nothing else should be too much of an issue.

Mazda VGT

QUALIFYING: 1:35.1
17 LAP RACE: 27m 52.1s
FASTEST RACE LAP: 1:36.3

A bit more fuel-saving needed in this car than the Audi – I ran the first 2 laps flat-out to make places, then started to change at the half-way point between the “gear for next corner” indicator and the end of the bar.

This car is quicker down the straights than the Modern Le Mans Cars and a lot quicker than the Bugatti – I had less trouble passing Group Cs on the straights here – but braking distances are longer and it is slightly more difficult to place on corner entry, plus Modern Le Mans Cars and Bugattis will definitely be faster than you in mid-corner and on corner exit. It is, however, very stable so may be a good choice if you are getting out of shape in other cars.

Bugatti VGT (No-stop, fuel saving)

QUALIFYING: 1:35.1
17 LAP RACE: 28m 02.1s
FASTEST RACE LAP: 1:37.5

The free-practice ranking star seems to lose its lustre if you, like me, are not a top-end driver – I guess that’s because getting speed out of it requires being absolutely on point through the corners and anything less will result in crucial loss of momentum. For me even in Quali trim I couldn’t do better in this than in a Modern Le Mans Car.

It’s not a good car to be in when in a race. The need to do some real short-shifting (I was changing up half-way across the “gear for next corner” indicator) from the very beginning of the race, coupled with the car’s low speed for most of each straight – it is at a similar speed to some others by the very end of the main straight but takes forever to get there - mean that it is a real chore to make up any places – where I could be in the lead by lap 11 or 12 in the other cars I took the lead on Lap 16 in this race, and that was only due to severe rubber-banding really.

On the plus side it really is good on the brakes into the chicanes and excellent through the faster corners. One word of warning though, you really can’t trail-brake in this – I was sideways more than once through the Parabolica in warm-up.

Bugatti VGT (1-stop, no fuel saving)

QUALIFYING: Same as above (1:35.1)
17 LAP RACE: 28m 10.9s
FASTEST RACE LAP: 1:36.4

As above for handling, however the points of note here are that the ability to use all the revs made very little difference to lap time – I still couldn’t go faster than my Modern Le Mans Car times, it also made only a small difference through traffic as other cars are still quicker on the straights, and perhaps the most important observation is that it is slower to 1-stop than to fuel-save by about 8 seconds. This was the only one of these test races I didn’t win – I stopped on lap 15, re-emerged in 5th and rubber-banded my way back up to 2nd where I lost on the line!

Other Observations:

I did try a few Group Cs. Mega straight line speed, but you’ll lose all that and more in the turns, particularly as these things are very tall-geared – they were built for a pre-chicanes Le Mans and the regs only allowed 5 forward gears so they had to be tall – so you will be out-accelerated very easily.

The Genesis Gran Racer VGT also has high top speed but I found it a pig to drive. It also munches through tyres, this is the only car where I even vaguely contemplated a pit stop for rubber. In the end I made so many mistakes in a trial run I took it no further.

I also tried the Hyundai 2025 VGT, but found it very understeery. The Peugeot 908 is like the Audi but not quite as easy to place in turns.

The popularity of the Bugatti on the top of the leader boards does mean there’ll be a few in each lobby on Saturday. Beware if you are in another car as the Bugatti’s superiority on the brakes may lead other drivers to try impossible sends, particularly in the early laps.

TLDR– Mediocre driver tries loads of cars for GT2/3 race, decides Modern Le Mans Cars are the way to go for him.

It's looking like for me in the Audi R18 the answer is no. To make the fuel last the full 25 laps, I had to fuel save so aggressively -- FM at 4 for most of the race, and short-shifting between 25% and 50% of the rev bar -- that I was a full minute slower than a 1-stop strategy.

I'm not surprised. Without fuel saving, I was able to get 17 laps out of the car. Squeezing out another 8 laps by fuel saving was bound to slow me down.

I did try a few other cars prior to running my strategy test, including the Porsche 919 and Genesis VGT, but none of them were faster for me than the R18, so I'm going to stick with it and see how it goes.
 
I skipped the second round because I can't stand SSRX, but I remain curious about that last round which remains TBA. I imagine that we'll get an update this week, so that we'll be able to practice right after this third round at Monza. At any rate, I'll likely enter this next round.

There was a series where PD actually made an announcement of the announcement of the Mystery Round - about a week or so beforehand they put it out there that the round would be revealed on the Thursday before a Saturday race. I think this was the one where it was Jimnys on ice.

For this one, I wouldn’t be surprised if an update is announced for Thurs 21 November which will contain content (probably a car, maybe conditions or new regulations or options, unlikely to be a track as haven't we already established that the Mystery Round will be at Spa?) necessary for the race, which will be announced when the servers come back online after the update.
 
I'm sorry that I haven't really been paying attention to this thread, but which Gr.1 cars do you think will be especially popular this Saturday? I'd imagine it'd be the Group C cars like the 787B and R92CP, considering that Monza's a relatively high-speed course.

Which league are you in? The answer may change as in GT2 and 3 a lot of cars can be driven harder than others if you don't want to stop for fuel, in GT1 everything will need to stop.

Well, the Bugatti will be popular as its the leaderboard star, but it is thirsty and lacks straight line speed. Group Cs are fast but slow to accelerate out of turns, they really excel at Le Mans. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet, you may wish to refer to post 12280 above :)

I tried a custom race with GR010 HYBRID 21.
Managed a 25 laps, no pitstop by short shifting and following other AI cars when possible, not rushing any overtake, in 41:33.572
That's 1:39 ish per lap. Probably not great.

It would be interesting still to try that Saturday. Could end up being either a Hero or a Zero.

That's similar to what I saw when I tested the no-stop strategy against one AI opponent. My no-stop time was 41:41. My 1-stop time 40:41. There were a few bad laps in both races -- more in the 1-stop than the no-stop -- but I feel like the 1-minute difference is about accurate.

When I've done full-field 1-stop custom races for practice, where I lose time overtaking the AI cars, my times are 40:40 to 41:00. That's still way better than the no-stop time in ideal conditions. And on race day, I expect the lead cars will be even faster.

For me, I feel like the no-stop strategy isn't viable.

BTW, it was fun racing with you in the lobby last night, @fardoche. I'll be keeping an eye out for you on Saturday. Hope to see you there.

On a completely different topic, an update is coming next week. It has five new cars. I'm guessing one of them will be used in the final round of the Nation Cup season. Of the bunch, the Porsche Mission X seems the one most likely to come with SS tires, which is what we're getting in the race. What does everyone think? Are we going to have a Mission X one-make race? And where?

Well, if the bottom left car is a Mercedes W196, I'll go with that - if the race is at Spa that's an appropriately historic venue even if the circuit itself isn't the same as the one used back in the day - and PD have form for running races with historic racing cars and using sport or comfort tyres (the 60s Honda F1 race in the last series was on CS tyres!)

So that's my guess...
 
Last edited:
The only thing that gives me pause is, is sports softs too soft a tyre compound for the W196? I don't think they've ever run the RA272 above sports hard.
A very good point - the only thing I can think that may mitigate this is that the round would take place less than 48 hours after the car’s release - a softer tyre would give the less able driver like me a chance to get to grips with it (pun unintentional but left in)

Happy with that.

Only a 17 lap race in GT3.

Got out to a 12 second lead, but due to fuel saving ended up winning by just over 1 second with 0.0 laps of fuel left.

Was also a bit worried starting on pole knowing how this first corner can go, but managed to avoid it all.

Is the 919 a worthwhile option at all? I noticed in testing today it's good for 18-19 laps without saving. I'm likely going to go with it anyways because it's the easiest to drive for me, just curious is all...
I think P2 and 3 in my race were both 919's.

Alot quicker top speed, but Bugatti has it through the corners.

Think they both made mistakes which gave me such a big lead originally.
 
Could anyone please help me out. I just finished my race, but I can't seem to find anywhere my results after the race. Would like to check out how many points I got and if I should race again or not.
 
GT2 (17 laps)

9am EMEA slot

163pt lobby (A/S)

QT at the back as I didn't know what to expect. I was in the Bugatti as was most of the field (2 R18s and 1 LM55)

Finished 11th with a no stop and crossing the line with 0% fuel left. The front runners were able to no stop and run a much higher pace than me.

Got 95pts so not going again.

Don't forget to fuel map 6 when the Autodrive is doing its rolling start, and unless you are way out front lap 1 is a very good fuel saving opportunity.
 
Well, I feel vindicated. Top split in slot 1 Oceania. I was the only Hyundai in a lobby of Bugattis, Audis and a Porsche.

Qualified 3rd with a 33.4.

The race went relatively smoothly, just a minor shunt from behind in lap 2 which gave me temporary aero damage. (Light damage is SOOO much better than heavy damage).

Took only about 3 laps to clear out from the pack and I ran in p3 for the entire race.

Two aliens in Audis finished 1/2, I finished 3rd and then the pack of Bugattis.

The Hyundai is an absolute weapon in this race. Even when I came under pressure from a Bugatti, the straight line speed advantage made overtaking impossible for them.

Once you exit from the race, you won't be able to see your points until your region finishes for the day ( ie after the final slot). In the race menu, either before qual, between qual and race or after the race, you can see the points on offer for each position by selecting the button at the bottom which looks like a military star badge. Simply then equate it to the position you got. But you can't do this once you leave the race menu
 
Well, Monza hasn’t always been kind to me – lobby races this week almost always resulted in a T1 punt – but today was excellent.

Firstly, I used my wheel-only EMEA account, I’ve only used a wheel since the beginning of this series so a new account was needed to properly chart my progress.

Race 1 – EMEA GT3 Slot 1 – Mid-upper C (43pts to winner) – Door 4

I’d been practising qualifying more than anything in the previous hour, and was able to get into the 1:34s unguided by a ghost, but despite leaving late for clear track my Audi and I could only muster a 1:35.5 which, thankfully, was good enough for pole by 0.06 from a French driver in the meta Bugatti. 11 of the 16 entries were from the Molsheim marque with 2 Audis, 2 Mazdas and a lone Group C Nissan completing the field.

Off the line, the Audi’s straight-line advantage meant that I didn’t need to defend at T1 but the Bugatti’s superiority in the turns meant that soon the French driver in the French car with the French blue paintjob was well and truly riding my derriere for the first few laps. He’d get to within a couple of tenths out of the chicanes, then I’d edge away just enough to keep the place for the next turn. This went on for 5 or 6 laps, then he sent it down the inside at the Parabolica from 4 tenths back, I kept the place but he was now close enough to slipstream and outbrake me into turn 1. His tight line in compromised his exit and I went round the outside of Curva Grande to retake the place into the 2nd chicane, and kept the lead four a further lap and a half until he tried another send into Ascari, punted me onto the green-painted concrete and received 2s penalty. I was still ahead and could finally break the tow when they served their imposition on the following lap. From there my opponent seemed to go into fuel save mode, and although I had to do the same myself to a certain extent they and the rest of the field dropped back significantly as the Bugatti drivers seemed to realise their fuel situation en masse at about lap 12 while I could manage my own supply without losing too much time, and crossed the line 15 seconds clear with 0.1 laps left in the tank.

Then I changed to my Oceania account for Slot 9 of GT2 in that region, still on the wheel but using an existing account which has dropped from 95%B to 80%B since using the wheel.

Race 2 – Oceania Slot 9 – Mid-upper B (106pts to winner) – Door 6

Qualifying went better – I’d worked out by now that you can leave the pits at 5:10 left and get 3 laps in – but my 1:35.3 only got Q5.

Off the start I lost a couple of places to another Audi and a Tomahawk through trying to keep it clean during T1, then I made a place up thanks to a spinner and cruised up behind the Bugatti of the pole sitter who was now P5. They were very aggressive and defensive but I did get by when they were slow through Lesmo 2, then 2 laps later I had to check up at Ascari when another Bugatti spun, the car behind kept their foot in and cleaned me up good and proper, I ended up the wrong way in the barrier and 12th and DFL by 15 seconds.

After that I used it as a test – I got past 3 or 4 cars into 8th, then the pole-sitter who’d punted me quit and made me 7th, but I was still 14 seconds behind a gaggle of Bugattis, and although they all slowed to save fuel I was still 0.7s adrift of them at the flag.

I decided – rare for me – to have another go:

Race 3 – Oceania Slot 10 (final slot) – Mid-upper B (103pts to winner) – Door 4

A much more satisfying qualifying gave me Q2 behind a Bugatti. Still 9 of them in this 16-car race, with a good mix of cars – apart from Bugattis and Audi R18s there was a Mazda, a couple of Hyundais, a Tomahawk and even an Audi VGT!

I tucked in behind the pole car into T1, no need for heroics, if I could stay with them in the turns I could get them on the straights. I was similarly tentative into the 2nd chicane – I could do this as there was a right scrap going on behind meaning I wasn’t being challenged myself. Out of the 2nd chicane the leader put 2 wheels in the dust and lifted slightly, that gave me the opportunity to draw alongside into Lesmo 1, I parked it on the apex to neutralise the Bugatti’s cornering advantage and was able to pull away out of Lesmo 2 as chaos broke loose from position 4 backwards. Once everyone had got going and penalties had been served I was about 4 seconds ahead of the Tomahawk and a Hyundai, and although the Korean car took 2nd and made some inroads in the last few laps we all had to fuel-save our way to the chequered flag, which I crossed first by 4 seconds for a very pleasing win and 103pts, bringing me back up towards 90%B. No Bugattis finished in the top 3 in this one.

One top tip I can give is, if you can, load Sim Dashboard or similar on a device – I used my phone – and set it up with a simple reading of laps of fuel remaining (it’s a standard widget on sim dashboard and the demo version will allow you to run it for free. I tucked my phone at the bottom of my monitor so I could see the screen, this had the advantage that I could see both my radar and fuel status without constantly juggling the MFD. I usually use this for tyre temperatures but the fuel situation today meant having the gauge on made a big difference. It also seems a bit more accurate than the MFD gauge – perhaps it calculates differently – and don’t panic if it just says 0.0 for lap 1 as it needs you to complete a lap to make it’s first calculations.

Good luck today to everyone out there!
