Made the last set of liveries I wanted to create for this update since I haven‘t done the Mazda 12R yet.

These are six of the cars from the 2025 IMSA Mazda MX-5 Cup:

I took the new Elantra for a run at La Sarthe, gave it proper paint courtesy of @Imbissbrunto and had a good time of it. The fuel economy is not the best as I could only do two laps before I had to pit again.

Great car for La Sarthe. Though I'm a bit confused by your fuel usage. What's your basic setup (tires, HP, Weight), and what fuel map did you use? Mine is running on Racing Mediums, 512hp, 2500 lbs (1134 kg). I can easily get 3+ laps out of it. It's not by any means the fastest car around La Sarthe (if you're getting sub 4:00 you're doing great), which made for a more interesting race than the usual Le Mans domination (such an easy race...lol), but I didn't have any trouble with the fuel, really. I just set it at fuel map 6 and forgot about it.

BTW, I literally just last night installed that exact same livery from Imbissbrunto, right before taking it to La Sarthe. Great minds think alike, eh?

Got gold on the Bathurst Gr. 3 mission in The Sun Also Rises today. It took more than a little reloading for favorable RNG and more than a little dirty driving, but the mission is so unreasonably difficult otherwise I don't care at this point.
 
Grabbed these two in the UCD. Their PP is about as close as any two different cars can be.

Figured I’d just see how close they are on track. No practice. One lap.

I’ll try more real world circuits and see how they hold up to each other.
Excellent, I love doing this kind of stuff. Standing starts, one lap wonders with various cars and conditions. This is pretty much all I do.

I will send my settings when I get home, I ran the 30 minute race
 
I took one of the 2 Elantras I bought and maxxed it out. Then I started to create a livery for it. Halfway through I lost my internet connection. GT7 went into offline mode. I checked my connection and came right back up but GT7 stayed in offline mode. So I quit and started playing something else.

Are you going to report it? This online server thing is a pita sometimes.
 
@ShonnDaylee here are settings and race details...take notice of fuel consumption 6X...

Ahhhhh... I think I see where the problem is. You're running almost 600hp with a High RPM turbo. Of course that's fine. Nothing wrong with that. Although, you will get more fuel mileage with a mid/low RPM turbo and less HP. I can almost get 4 laps out my setup with a bit of short-shifting/coasting (ok, more than "a bit"....lol). To each their own of course. I sometimes find utilizing vehicles that can only manage 2 laps at La Sarthe preferable, as it tends to make the race a bit spicier. It is one of the easier WTC events in the game, so often we have to make things interesting ourselves.

Other than the aforementioned... Looks like a pretty good setup overall. Your suspension tuning, on this car, is very similar to my own (my shock settings are quite different, but otherwise spot on). I'm sure she's quick around La Sarthe!

I will try with lower turbo and or lower hp....

It's up to you. As I said, it's not always preferable. It just depends on what YOU are trying to get out of the race. In fact, I am going to give La Sarthe another go with the high RPM turbo, and see how it pans out. Both are perfectly viable options, I would think, depending on how easy (or hard) you want the race to be.
 
i got 1 grind car that makes fuel last a long time but the tires wear out quicker then the other which is quicker and tires last longer but the fuel lasts a bit less the 1st.
 
Last one. Took them to the big daddy of time trial circuits: Nordschliefe Tourist layout. Again, one lap, mistakes and all. Fortunately, the 993 ran flawless. Unfortunately, I was overly confident the NSX could brake as hard as the Porsche.

Even with that off(I even pushed both cars equally through the toll area at the end of the lap), the NSX type R wears the red badge for real and takes no shorts! No question it’s a race car on (smallish)road car tyres.

Anyway, I had fun with both. Might do this again with a different set of cars.
