Last time we had this combo in Daily C, the R92 could sorta compete, but the Mazda was definitely OP. That was limited to Group C only though, so it wasn't possible to see if any of the VGTs or cars like the 908 or '11 R18 could set similar lap times to the 787. Maybe one of those will be competitive, especially in race conditions.
Only done a few laps but Mazda 787b so far the quickest thing out there. The only hybrid that could maybe compete is the Toyota GR010 but it’s still 1+ seconds slower a lap. Dont know much about the VGTs but I tried the McLaren and it was slow.
As far as I can see, the 787 will need to do a one stop for tyres but the pit loss is only about 16 seconds. I can’t get anything else within a second a lap of it, so even if you could no stop in something else, you won’t make up enough time.
I would have loved to use the LM55. Tried a test run with it, and it's possible to 0-stop with it.
Ah that's a shame the Toyota couldn't compete. But then also I guess it makes thing easier in the race if everyone using the GrC cars. That Le Man's daily was a nightmare with the Hybrids been able to brake later and corner quicker than the GrCs.
Agreed. Gr1 needs to be the hybrids only: the Toyota, Porsche, Peugeot, etc. There should also be a GrC category for only those cars, and a VGT category for only those cars. They should all be separated. Next week's C race (Gr4 at Sarthe no chicanes) would be absolutely amazing if it was GrC cars only, and not Gr4 cars.
Time to stop the suspense. My randomisation process has landed me with a manufacturer I got quite acquainted with at the back end of GTS. Lambo. Hopefully the recent physics changes will help me keep her under control. (Who am I kidding.)My randomisation process for the next season has been done and the results are interesting.
I will let you know closer to the time.
Good luck my friend! Was nice knowing you 😂. That is a bold choice. The Gr4 is actually a decent car to drive. The best 4wd car for me. The Gr3 car…might be safer to race in reverse. Love for the Gr3 to get a physics upgrade in the next update.Time to stop the suspense. My randomisation process has landed me with a manufacturer I got quite acquainted with at the back end of GTS.

I'm hoping to channel more of the control that saw me finish 5th at the Barca race than the hopelessness that was the Fuji race during that GTS season. I guess the Fuji race here will let me see how I have improved. Not sure about the Gr4 as it is not as strong as it used to be. But at least the 4WD will let me push it more than the Gr3. Wish me luck!
In the UK they are starting at 10am. I may be able to squeeze into the 8th slot (7pm) with no practice after work, but realistically it's the final 2 slots of the day and hoping there's no connection issues.
This underlines my point. I came 2nd in top split and I’m not even in the top twenty points. The only guy who beat me clearly went again and is now 3rd.
Want to give it a run on my 2 account. I know it's not as fast, but it is quicker in a straight (at least via some of the TT laps I did, no draft of course... 222 vs 224 at the S/F line).
I’m not gonna lie, I have no idea what these races are about. I think participation may be low because a lot of people like me have no clue what’s going on, and PD doesn’t do much in the way of explaining the events for people who don’t already know. I think they are counting on familiarity with players who’ve been doing this for a while, but as a new GT player I have no sense of what the point is.
