-In GT League, I'm having a bit of a hard time with two events: the F1500T Championship in the Professional League is the first one. I'm particularly worried about having a non-clean race, and not getting the 1.5x bonus. I want to be cautious since these things have insane speed and acceleration, but I don't wanna fall too hard behind, either - I do seem to be able to overtake around three positions by the end of lap 2, FWIW. Should I also be careful about throttle control with these cars? Maybe I ought to be OK with coasting a bit every now and then, too...
-The other GT League event I'm struggling with is the Gr.3 Endurance at Monza, where I've only been able to finish P3. I'm using the Z4 GT3 - I've even tried using RS tires, but I've still been behind the leader by a good 20 or 30 seconds. I'm usually getting lap times between 1:50 and 1:55, depending on my tires, the state of them, and if I'm in traffic. Oh, and my fuel map is always set to 1. And for endurance races in general, is there a general pattern I should follow when the accelerated tire wear/fuel consumption differ from another? Like in this Monza race, the fuel use is 3x while the tires are at 4x - does this discrepancy mean anything as to what tires I should use, or does the track's overall layout mean more in this regard?
For both of these events, I don't wanna try tuning the power/weight because that doesn't seem too fair, so I wanna see if I can change my broader strategy instead.
-Finally, I don't have PS Plus to confirm this at the moment, but you *do* still get experience and money for racing in both Sport Mode and in lobbies, right? Including the 1.5x Clean Race bonus, if applicable? Do you guys ever fret about the Clean Race Bonus in GT League, or do you just try to do your best and put a larger focus on clean racing when it's online play?
