I dunno, it all has happened so suddenly. This endurance season was chaotic since the very first lap.

I have 2 theories:

Theory 1: Driver Performance Syndrome

Void has invested:
• countless hours of practice
• immaculate liveries
• unnecessarily dramatic press articles
• probably more time in Photo Mode than actual race preparation

And yet… The results remain inconsistent. This often leads to a well-documented motorsport condition known as: Acute Competitive Delusion Syndrome (yes, I just made that up).

Theory 2: Financial Pressure from Void//Media

Void//Media is currently operating deep in the red.
No sponsors.
No budget.
No financial return.

Every single video requires hours of editing, planning, production, and effort… only to receive roughly the same public attention as a two-hour documentary about paint drying.
That kind of pressure builds up.

And eventually…
Something snaps.
I steal liveries from others rather than investing all of the time required to do my own.
No time spent in photo mode here.
The time that I do have to log on and race I spend learning tracks and working on lap times. A 50 lap practice session is probably what it takes to really learn a track/car combo. To be fast and consistent you really need to be able to drive the track with your eyes closed. I am just at the point of becoming familiar (like knowing exactly where on track someone is when watching a video) but now I have to figure out how to be fast. I have already golded the CE but that is not the same as being really fast and consistent. I have been lazily working on Nurburgring since about 2 years after the release of GT7. It takes a long, long time to Git Gud as people like to say.

Most of the replica liveries I use are borrowed. I will sometimes I make my own. If I have an idea and think I can make it. I've never been the best at making liveries. And I've yet to figure how to do curved lines well.

I occasionally take pictures but, I have to mind how much in game storage I use. Because of saving replays for the league.
 
Yeah...I loved making liveries in GT Sport, thats pretty much all I did, never raced other people until now.
But yeah, it got to the point where making them takes too much time and effort and is too complicated and nobody is willing to teach, so I just paint all my cars black, put the classic stripes across the roof and hood, a couple decals and that's it.

The most complicated livery I did. Was the 1st snake skin livery I made for the Gr.4 Viper back in the GT Sport. After the initial one. I made different color variants of it which didn't take as long. But that initial livery took almost the entire playtime that night. I covered the entire car in these check patterns line decals. Lining each section up was the most difficult part. Even had to pause for dinner and go back to it.

Race day for us and the real event. See guys you tonight for what might the slowest Le Mans race in recent history. Our top class is their bottom. And I'm afraid to learn the last time cars as slow as the Gr.4 class with BOP raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
 
For the life of me I just cant understand the point of fighting for position on the first few laps of a 2 hour race.

GGGrrrrrrrrr, this is the 3rd time that I ended up not completing the last lap because I missed by 5 seconds or less. I think I started the penultimate lap with 8:10 on the clock, I would have had to run 2 2:04 laps, I can do 2:06 but not 2:04's, especially with a .500 penalty.
That track seems very slippery, it must not rubber in much.

Thank you everyone who raced tonight. Just 1 race left. Our season final is at Spa-Francorchamps in 2 weeks. The long pit version. And we are racing same day as the real 24 Hours of Spa. And with the appropriate classes this time. Next weekend is Fathers Day Weekend for the US at least. I have no plans for any surprises this time. See you June 27th for season final.

Track temperatures do change. Even if they don't tell you what kind of temperatures your dealing with. I'm more annoyed they can't give us more 3 minutes at the of these end of these races. But they can automatically extend qualifying.

Had a lot of fun last night! Never competitively race Le Mans so I was learning as we went.. I was really careful because I didn’t understand track limits at the chicane. I have two people from my group who would like to register for the Spa race if that’s cool (GT3)

You have never raced the Le Mans circuit in game?

We have room. Haven't passed 10 players this season. The lobbies are friends only. Have them send me friends requests then.
 
What is the deal with pit stops at LeSarthe? Are the garages in Spain or something? I can't believe the duration of the track to pit stall time.
Well I learned from watching the real race. Just serving a driver thru penalty is 32 seconds. That's without getting service.
 
No not competitively.. only against the AI I never really like the track until last night. It was proper fun!
It's the biggest race in sports car racing. And my favorite race track. So you'll see it a lot we use on Saturdays.

Void Is On Top of the World

Le Mans, France - June 14, 2026

In what may go down as one of the most confusing and legally questionable appearances in recent motorsport memory, Void shocked the paddock this weekend in Mercedes-AMG GT3 machinery that looked suspiciously identical to the car currently associated with Max Verstappen.

And by suspiciously identical, we mean completely identical.

Same livery.
Same decals.
Same number.
Same everything.

Our correspondent stationed in Barcelona attempted to get clarification directly from Verstappen himself, asking whether he had personally lent the car to Void for the event.
Verstappen reportedly stared for several uncomfortable seconds before responding:
“Who the **** is Void?”

A statement that, somehow, only raised more questions.

Starting dead last in the Gr.3 field, expectations for Void were approximately as high as public trust in his decision-making.

Yet in a shocking turn of events, he immediately began carving through the field and rapidly climbed all the way to P3, stunning competitors and leaving commentators scrambling for explanations.

Not everyone was impressed.

Sources suggest rival driver Fastone expressed immediate frustration with Void’s aggressively fast early-race pace, allegedly believing the attack was far too ambitious for that stage of the event.

As history repeatedly reminds us, however, Void remains his own most dangerous enemy.

Just as podium hopes began looking increasingly realistic, disaster struck in peak Void fashion.

On two consecutive laps, Void somehow managed to beach himself in the gravel trap, throwing away all momentum and falling directly back to dead last in Gr.3.

Analysts described the sequence as:
“Entirely predictable.”

Despite the catastrophic mistakes, telemetry data later revealed a deeply disturbing discovery: Void’s car appeared significantly faster than nearly the entire field.

The lone exception remained A. Miller, a driver many are already comparing to Gran Turismo 7 legend-level anomalies such as Michel, an entity widely believed to transcend normal competitive limitations.

Fortunately for Void, Michel was competing in Gr.4 for reasons no one fully understands, preserving at least the illusion of fairness.

Following an intense late-race battle with Dusan Mandic, Void managed to recover an impressive fourth-place finish.

What happened next, however, may have overshadowed the race itself.

During the post-race press conference, Void immediately demanded an investigation into Fastone’s car, insisting it was impossible that Fastone managed to build a lead exceeding three minutes.

“I want to know what strategy Fastone used. Check that damn car. There is no way he pulls three minutes legally.”

His own race engineer replied: “Void… the issue is that you waste too much fuel and absolutely destroy your tires every stint.”

At that exact moment, sources confirm Void abruptly stood up, visibly furious, slammed the table, and exited the room without answering further questions.

Because naturally.

In more positive developments, insiders have confirmed Void will attend the championship finale at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps using the same suspicious Mercedes.

Even more importantly, after what many are calling his strongest performance in months, primary sponsor Arasaka has officially returned, placing its branding back on the car after several weeks of apparent… uncertainty regarding their investment.

Unfortunately, not all news is positive.
Void remains without a girlfriend.

And perhaps more concerning…
Unconfirmed reports indicate Nissan Motor Corporation may have escalated tensions following recent public comments made by Void regarding their vehicles and ditching their car.

Sources close to the matter claim the company may have contacted members of the Yakuza in response.

At this time, Void has declined comment.

Another great article, is this going to appear in Speed Sport? The reporter failed to realize that as a late entry due to race hauler malfunctions I missed qualifying and actually started shotgun on the GR3 field.
 
If points gathering isn't your goal you can swap every week. In fact I'm considering different options for Spa.
You technically are mathematically still in reach of notarjy but, it's very circumstantial. At least 10 would have to start Gr.3. I don't see us gaining enough new drivers to do so.

Anyways would look at one the Porsche for Spa then. The older car might suit Spa better than the new car. You could also s

I guess I could change too. I can't gain or lose position in class. Depends how loyal to the Corvette I want to be. Spa is not kind to heavy front engine cars. Great now I some thinking to do.

Keep in mind though I kind of treat the car change penalty almost as a disqualification. Even if you win. Though I still just score it as ranked. Then just not pay points to the driver that changed. But I've never had someone change cars and win their 1st start. And I just realized I don't know how to score that scenario. Maybe a win credit with one of these *.

LeSarthe reminded me of how tired I am of the handling difficulties with that Citroen. I don't know what it is about that car and Sathe but the car can be stable at every other track and at Sarthe the rearend is trying to pass you on every turn. I had max downforce on the rear, almost even front and rear ride height, and brakes biased towards the front and I still spend half the race sliding thru the grass in the fast turns on the last half of the lap. Its like that everytime we go there.
 
Hey guys reminder no race this weekend. Our season final is next week at the Spa-Francorchamps 24h layout. For those in the US at least. Please enjoy your Father's Day Weekend. See you next Saturday.
