A tribute to my trip to the Spa 24h this summer - I've created a full grid in Custom Races, and the recent addition of the 296 GT3 has made the grid super-realistic and pretty much complete. I made the error of using the wrong livery on the #98 ROWE BMW, which has the Ravenol/Nürb race number decals on it, so will fix that later. I did a test run to see how an actual 24h race might pan out, and I was leading after the first lot of pit stops in the 296 GT3 - but, the Aston Martin GT3 did a staggering 35 laps on a single tank compared to my 26 laps, so that might have to be worked out if I ever do attempt a long race - I'm thinking about a 4 hour enduro, and not the full 24h! 😅
Had a fun late 80s/early 90s race with Sophy. Got utterly destroyed by the Z32, but I'm happy I hung with an A70 Supra.
So happy PD added a small parking lot we can drive onto in Eiger. If only we could take photos during Free Practice in lobbies!
The FTO is SUCH a joy to drive. Incredibly direct and sharp steering, light and compact chassis, and styling that still tickles the 10–year old kid inside me. It was so confidence inspiring that I managed to lightly brush the inside barrier of Forrest Elbow on my first lap out on my first drive!
