I'm still lurking. š From what I've been reading about the lobbies, I'm glad I don't do them anymore. For my money the best lobbies were in GT5.

Had a feeling that a familiar lurker was out there.
Sportās lobbies were/are super user friendly for the host and the racers. GT7 totally FUBAR! That they (PD) could eff that up so badly is beyond belief.
Thanks Papa for the 2J tune. Will give it a try. Been using detuned Group C cars for the WTC 800 Spa race - love the 1.5 million credits for a clean race. Porsche 962C, Mazda 787B, Silk Cut Jaguar, and Calsonic Nissan will all dominate that race on RH tires, FM 1 and one pit stop (depending on the rain intensity). Sometimes 2 stops to switch from Wets back to RH for the last 10 - 12 minutes. Keep a close eye on the weather radar, and switch the radar screen to a wider range to get an accurate view of the approaching conditions.

You're welcome Eric. š The 2J is a tad thirsty (that's why Fuel Meter on 6) but very easy on tires & very easy to drive. Haven't bought those cars yet. Trying to pad the old bank account first. š Spa, Le Mans & Sardegna are the most profitable & fun but I like to run the lesser paying races too. Not that much a fan of Tokyo. Too constricting. The old version was way better. I don't know how those players using the Tomahawk exploit can get around that track. Not for me. FYI, I just checked the 700 PP set-up for the 2J & drats, the last update bumped up the PP to where I can't bring it down enough. š¬Thanks Papa for the 2J tune. Will give it a try.

Can earn credits a bit quicker at the Tokyo race, but for me the fun factor at Spa is level 11. Speaking of Spa, watched the WEC 6 Hour race yesterday - what a transformation! Now PD need to add the new Spa to GT7, but not before the lobbies are fixed.
Drivers Adapting to New-Look Spa After Circuit Upgrades ā Sportscar365
Drivers from different WEC classes weigh in on how Spa circuit has changed since last year...
If you're second in points, with a decent finish at "The Green Hell", you should finish in the top 3. I just won this championship with the Supra on a different account & it should do the job. Did you tune up the Supra ? You did not mention which difficulty you are using. On easy you should have no problem. (tip, you can change that mid championship by clicking on your profile icon & then options on the very top left of the screen BEFORE you start a race). Good luck.
Thank you! It worked. Changed the setting, tried several saved tunes and, eventually, got 1st in Nurburgring and 1st overall WTC. TBH it just really felt like a good tune. You did well with your Supra, any chance you could post your tune? Or anyone? I'd really like to see where I went wrong in my set up, as I had done well previously in Normal mode.
Well done !! šš You're very welcome & glad I could help. That Supra is so good that it's basically stock but with a fully adjustable race trans set to 300 top speed, a medium rpm turbo with anti-lag set to weak & RH tires giving PP of 780.74. You could use RM tires but not RS because they put you over the 800 PP limit. If you play with the settings you can get the Supra to qualify for 700 PP races too. Enjoy the game, have fun & try to use all your cars. Do as @SteveBeech12 mentioned and also try the missions.
Thanks for the tune Eric. Haven't bought the Mazda yet. I do have a spare engine in storage, thanks to the "wheel of misfortune". Waiting for the right car to put it in.
Steve, thanks for taking this idea and running with it. Enjoying these very much. Super idea!
Wow. That's some kick.
Thanks Eric š Glad guys are enjoying it. Well done to Luiz for the win on Sunday and another good race by all.Steve, thanks for taking this idea and running with it. Enjoying these very much. Super idea!
Thanks for the tip Eric. š Have not succeeded yet.
Btw, are you using manual or auto & does it make a difference as to which difficulty setting ?
