Hi there,
I regularly use the Spa 1h race for grinding — and, of course, for fun. I’ve tried almost every car with 700+ PP, including tuned Gr. 4 cars, to win this race on the highest difficulty setting.
Since the 1.71 update, a few things have changed. For example, the 2022 Porsche 911 Gr. 3 has lost a lot of its mojo and now struggles quite a bit with rear tyre wear. This causes it to completely lose its balance once the rear tyres are only about half worn out.
I’ve also noticed that the race has become a little harder, thanks to the much higher pace of GR Supra GT3-R ’15 driven by Fraga. He’s on soft tyres and has to pit three times, but he still manages 2:14 laps and is also pretty quick in the wet. In one of my last races, Fraga lapped every single other car. The only thing preventing the race from being even harder is that the AI still makes some incredibly stupid decisions when the weather changes — like switching to IMs when it’s obvious that slicks are by far the better option, or not changing to wets or IM when it's clear there will be a lot of rain on the next lap.
I actually enjoy the racing there even more than before, but I probably won’t be able to repeat my win with a Group 4 car quite as easily. At least I finally managed to reach 27 laps in the Zonda R for the first time.
Did someone else find any noticable changes after the latest update? I've heard that lapped cars now react better to blue flaggs, but I for one could't experience any differences tbh.
