I tried out the new Spa WTC 700, 8 laps with 8x fuel and tires against the usual Gr4 suspects. First go with stock Gr4 Huracan on HARD, threat of rain but stayed dry. First stint 5 laps on FM1 and RH, switched to RM for final 3 laps. Most of the AI are on mediums or softs and a handful do a 6 lap/2 lap strategy. Much like Le man, fairly challenging in a stock Gr4 on hard difficulty, and like Le man hundreds of cars that can win. Also a new 200 under candidate....

Race was dry with a sprinkling of rain that didn’t need any tyre changes

I don't know about Lemans cause rain mess up everything two times and since i wasn't aware what FM should i run ( and manual or AT ) .....

But at the new race at Spa was Perfect
Did one race without any rain and was a pleasure .
At the second one i follow Portillia ignoring the radar 🤣
Starting 4th lap i was in 20place 45 seconds behind on Intermediate tyres.
Needed to do last lap ( half of it ) on fully red tyres but i managed to win safe from the second AI
Hard mod am talking about.
Cheers for this one from me .



Am waiting for the new Hyundai if you have the time and appetite of course.
 
Well running the 30 minute race at Le Mans has really paid off for me, the race was easy being in front the whole time.
I did have to up my TC to 3 just to have some control over wheelspin as I have seen many of the others spin themselves silly at exits of the slower corners.

This good old thread was really buried..It's been awhile since I've done the 30 minute race and just experienced something very strange. Typical mid race medium rain so I'm on inters for lap 4, first Mulsanne chicane put one corner barely over the kerb,17 second penalty so that's still a thing but not the weird part. Next lap the track is drying quickly but the margins are still pretty wet, I make it through the first chicane avoiding a big penalty then drive as I have hundreds of times, in the puddles on the edge of the straight to save the inters. I make it about halfway down the straight, game puts me back at the chicane! Same thing happens after the second chicane, no penalties the game just reset my car a thousand meters back. I wasn't driving on the grass, just staying off the dry line, very strange.
