nurburgring 4 hour car?

[drivehard]

any good ideas about what car to use for this race.

I used a 750ish hp gallardo on race hards and won by about a minute with several mistakes, including one at the start of the race where I ran 5 laps instead of 4.

A 700hp one with stock weight should do if your a good driver. The car is really good on this track with aero parts. I only had major trouble at the one crest in the first sector.

Any car that can do the 24h course in 8'45 should be able to win the race. My best lap was a 8'36 and averaged in the 8'45, 8'50 bracket.

so you pit every 4 laps?

On the fifth lap you can manage around, but you'll lose +40 seconds at a minimum on race hards.

I found you can do 2 laps on softs, 2.5 on mediums, 4 on hards, 5 if you stretch but you lose +40 seconds

I lost the +40 seconds. It took a combination of 3 and 4 lap strategies and a whole lot of not taking full fuel load to get the lead back around an hour in. ymmv.

Edit: I'll add that I used a DS3 for this race and was harder on the tires then I would be using a DFGT an a proper endurance setup and strategy, it was a long day and I wanted to be aggressive.


Errr Double Edit: The GT-1 Turbo S2000 has to show up. Otherwise you'll be racing a RUF CTR which you will absolutely crush in that car. The S2000 is the one I had to beat, and he was gridded pretty high in the field.
