... So I slapped the medium turbo on it, used a couple fuel map actions here and there, short shifts a bit. Pit stop once. ...

That's exactly what I did - easy win.

Yeah the non Gr1 variant of the Mazda LM55 is amazing. Just a simple tune needed to help on the initial turn in (if you prefer your car to be 'pointy') traction is great, as is the fuel usage and tyre life.

Yeah the 908 works well here, I did a one stop pitting on lap 6 for fuel and tyres, did FM6 and RM tyres all race long.

Really liked that setup, thanks very much! Feels much more stable under acceleration to me and has a better turn-in compared to the default.

Unfortunately I got yeeted into the T1 inside wall by one of the cars in the 2nd/3rd/4th gaggle on my first attempt, but the second one went much smoother.

I was able to run in the 1:31s consistently, even as the tyres dropped off a bit on lap 5 & 6, then took on some Softs and a bit more fuel so I could go to FM1 and have a proper go at fastest lap on lap 9. Turns out I was cutting it a bit fine, had to go back to FM6 and lift & coast + short shift heavily just to make it to the end. Arrived at 0 % and pretty happy with the effort.

If my experience in the WTC 900 race is anything to go by, I believe you can still achieve this in the Peugeot without the Fuel Map and with just short shifting. Will test it out later (Assuming this rain stops messing with my internet).

Just by looking at the massive amounts of torque this thing has, it will mostly just need mega short shifting, let us know how it goes later!

Oh for sure short shift the **** out of the 908. The older Audi would be the same. Diesel cars, low revs. They both won that Le Mans stuff for a reason.

Definately possible as I suspected. Video coming soon.

Weeee, get to bring back out my Vantage GT4 build.

I only got around to trying four of the races this week, and only checked the box on the first three.

I'll have to double-check to see if I've done all the other races for this next week, but either way, that Vantage one-make sounds fun. I already had bought one, but I may end up buying another to modify, as I'm very curious as to what sort of aesthetic options in GT Auto are available.
