I didnt see much discussion about this when it hit, I guess its an advanced endurance so many people were put off by it.
It dropped like 2 or 3 patches back and I skipped it as I knew it would be hell, green hell you might say.
So I was bored over this Xmas break so I gave it a go. Its not easy, especially if you suck at the 'Ring like I do.
I used a 2,000km high mileage 911 w/ HSG tune 330km/h final drive, this thing has 7 gears so you can do with a high overdrive. RH tyres.
I think the start interval was 50 secs and it blew out to 1'10" or so which is highly demoralising.
Your tank only does 2 laps so you're always going to be in an inlap or outlap. I slowly started to reduce the interval down to about 20-30 secs.
Also I tried to persevere on overtaking... its so hard to overtake on this track so you're better off waiting until a good corner or better still, taking them on the GP track which has heaps of opportunity. TIme it right and you will chop 3 or 4 cars on the GP track.
Funny thing happened.... I got to about the 55min mark and everyone pitted for a splash and dash.
I didnt, I had like 0.8 laps left in the tank so I gambled and went to FM6 once the time stopped at 60 mins.
I think my interval got to max 15 secs to 2nd driver and it fluctuated between 5-10 secs... then drove the lap of your life on FM6 to the finish which left 10 secs at the end.
So the impossible happened, I beat them all *somehow* on the hardest race of them all.
