Spent a lot of time testing for this one and managed to fit a couple of requested cars into the line up which should all be within a second or so of each other. It's a nice fast track with a good variety of turns which should provide lots of overtaking opportunities. Note that the 1M has a manual turbo boost which can be altered on track by pressing numbers 1 through to 0 on your keypad. You'll need to use it wisely throughout the race if you want to make it to the flag  |

Tried the Lotus Evora and BMW m1, similar pace in both.
How do you know what percentage the BMW turbo is running at default before you choose another setting? Also what is the safe but still quick setting? I saw the damage logo come up a lot but it stayed white everytime so no idea if it was hurting.

I think 70% is the default setting and will last but you'll be slow. 80 to 90 should be ok but keep an eye on the damage indicator which gradually turns red as you slowly kill the engine. Some good info here and a link to a better looking damage app... http://www.core-racing.co.uk/thread.php?thread_id=399#bottom |

Turn on car physics app (enable dev apps) and you can see the "ELife" part which is Engine Life, if you are steady 80% will finiah you the race but 90 will most likely end up with a popped engine.
The gte is by far the fastest car. 1'37.1 was my current pb. None of the other cars were within 1sec.

I was testing at 1:40 to 1:42 for these cars, but yes the GTE was the quickest of the bunch although I reckon the 240R could be close. I quite like the E92 so I'll probably take that. |

When using manual clutch and an h-shifter, you can maintain 80% turbo without the damage indicator popping up. 90% turbo will keep the damage indicator up and you'll see the engine slowly change colour, but I don't know how long you can stay on 90%. 100% turbo will increase damage very rapidly, but I think still good for a few laps, if you start it with no damage.

Jeez 1:37?!  . I was 1:42 in both cars I tried. Can't say the track inspired me to try many more laps. Thanks for the info on the turbo. |
