I'm finding it hard to get excited about this round. I'm driving the Barker, as I expect most everyone else will. My best lap so far is 2:03.188, with most of my laps in the 2:03s. I feel like that is okay-ish, but not great. It is what it is. Sprint race. No strategy. Just try to drive fast and avoid any collisions. That damage is brutal.

Good luck to everybody racing!

Agreed! This will be a one and done for me, regardless of the result.
 
I'm have some fun with the Berlinetta in practice. Low 2:03 PB. Hoping for a mid pack start, then being able to stay in the Barker's draft and outracing them through the turns.

No idea what my bottom split GT1 lobbies will bring.

Managed a 2.0.2.755 in qualify, about 1s off my best in FP but enough for pole here.

Race start you need to switch up gears immediately as you start in 1st very near the redline. Had a streamer Ozzy Man in P2 and for the first few laps we worked together to build a gap between the rest of the pack.

THE SLIPSTREAM HERE IS INSANE! You can easily gain back 0.5s in the slipstream in the straights here - it was something I was very unprepared for. After a while P2 takes me then I tuck in their slipstream and bump draft them for a few more laps, thinking we can battle in the last 2 laps. Unfortunately I messed a few corners up so couldn't get the battle going but for some reason they pulled over on the last straight to give me the win. Checking out his stream now to see why! Was a fun race but it did look a bit like chaos behind us. All Barkers except 1 Porsche which finished 2nd from last.

Good luck everyone!
