Yesterday I did my first () clean (no cutting or overshoting) laps. Eau rouge and Blanchimont => have to lift off in both corners
. The time? Dreadful
. But the laps were clean at last
And that's how you have beaten me on many occasions. Consistently staying on the track. Once you come off the track, it tends to form a chain of offs due to dirty tyres and loss of focus.

I can run Eau Rouge no lift but it's hairy, so I feather the throttle at the bottom down to around 50% throttle and then back on it as soon as the car changes direction. In Blanchimont I can't get the car to stay on track at the exit without lifting but it's a super fast lift just before turning. I'm sure I'm bleeding a few tenths in those corners but running wide or collecting a penalty is more than a few tenths!

@Invisigoth it's a tough fight for the Spoon trophy in between us . I'm like (or trying to be) a cable car from San Francisco: slow as hell, but always stays on the track .
@Raptor013 Eau Rouge is a full "no gas" at the bottom of the corner, at Blanchimont just a little kick to the gas. FR car.

Small adjustment to the entry list.
@si_berian_tiger has been removed as I'm not sure if he's still on the forums here?
@WhiteFlight1 has his full time space.
Final space is going out to GTPlanet.

@paoloevans
I have taken another look at the calendar, and with these being around 35-40 min races, I'm confident I could make more races than originally anticipated. If willing, I would like to be considered for the final full time slot.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Guido, was really hoping to get into this series, and the time slot and race length fit in perfectly, especially being a 1 race per month schedule...plenty of time to trickle in practice. Looking forward to it. See you tomorrow night for the Porsche Cup Challenge.

I watched a little of this years Le Mans for inspiration (they finally released the race on YouTube) since I couldn't watch it live... I couldn't get my browser to play nice with Eurosports to view a single event.
) . After the first 4 hours it dawned on me that watching Spa might be better. Sadly I couldn't find the actual event itself, just stuff leading up to it, but I was able to find this years 6 hour. @paoloevans , are you sure you don't wanna make this a wet race? The impression I get from what little I saw of the pre 24 hour and the 6 hour commentary is that it *always* rains when there is a race on

My mate went to the WEC Spa 6 Hours last year (I think) and they had rain, sunshine and even heavy snow!!!!
As we are quite close to the race I don't want to change it now as people have been practicing etc but if I do another season on GT Sport I promise I'll make Spa a wet race 👍
EDIT - When GT7 comes out and I am in a position where I can get a PS5 (honestly not sure when this will be) I plan to hopefully continue running the Sprint Cup Series.
Dynamic time and weather is top of my GT7 wish list, along with the livery editor. Imagine the possibilities open to us!

Wet Spa would be AWESOME! But totally understand the people who have already practiced already in the dry would be getting their work wiped out unfairly. We should do a reverse grid one after the race or something for half points

Actually I'm working on a... race with interesting settings. The wet is one of the "compontents" :evil maniac face: .

Sign me up when you do decide to announce it.
@Philtaylor17 i'd be happy to host a non championship event at some point during the season if there's enough interest.
