This is looking like there will be a big opportunity for some interesting pit strategies with the revised tire wear after patch 1.10.
Tires last less laps after the last patch, at least in online racing.que?

This is rather generally. Tyre wear seems to have taken a massie rocket in wear rate. I only managed 7 laps before my tyres were down to half way. Plus 2 laps of those laps were spent cruising. MU suffered similar wear rate. Now I'm not jumping to any conclusions but I think this could be something to do with the new update. Because tyre wear was no where near the rate it is now. I could do 9 laps at La Sarthe before with tyres above half way and now I can't even do 8 around Grand Valley. Very weird. Could be a 12 stop race lol. It was only in the softs I've tested though and I haven't had chance to test out tyres since then but I'm also wondering whether hard tyres now also perform properly. If they do this could be fantastic. There will actually be difference in tyre strategies and you could either go for the slower more durable hard or the super quick, super wearing softs.
As I said this is just me thinking this. But anyone else feel free to test and see what you think. I seriously hope it is. More pitstops = More people on different strategy = More excitement.
whos ready to Race !!!!!!!
Is the race at 6pm British time or 6pm GMT? The OP says GMT but last time it was at 6pm British which is 5pm GMT. This is terribly confusing. Right its give or take 12.20 for me when I post this. Is the race in 5 hours and 40 minutes or 6 hours and 40 minutes? 5 hours being 6pm British time and 6 hours being 6pm GMT
Races are on Saturdays

I have definitely overslept through a race or two...thanks a lot, hangover.Im pretty mad that i overslept. I spent last night TUNING MY CAR!
I must say I'm slightly frustrated. If I knew you guys weren't going to start until 1:30 I would've hurried and probably easily made it but because I thought you were starting at 1 I wasn't in any hurry to get on GT5. And to miss the start by 2 laps and on a track where i think I could've got a podium or better is even more annoying![]()
Your stream of conscious mic commentary kept the race interesting for me as I piddled along in last placeWho would everyone say their man of the race was? This sounds selfish but I would vote myself due to pushing that car so hard to get a one stop and 5th place. I was very relieved at the end. What about everyone else?
Bloody hell. GT Bull Japan didnt score ANy points today??
No. And we won't be scoring too many in the future if the time is at 1:00 all the time. I would be able to make some weeks but it would be 50:50.
I'd say Senna. I'll go for Senna as he didn't put a foot wrong all race (from what I saw) and was an outside bet for the win from the start. Johny, tissimo and ofcourse yourself also had good races too though. Although if I'd been there I'm pretty certain I would've got a top 5 finish. But hey I wasn't. That's life and you guys had a good race![]()
