I'd have thought that this will go to time and not distance given the relatively slow nature of the track.

Yeah well, last sprint in Enna (and endurance in Dubai) finished way sooner than 40/80 mins mark, gotta ask, I'm fed up with finishing races loaded with fuel. 2400 seconds race minus warm up lap of some 200 seconds = 2200 seconds of racing. 2200 secs/82 second lap for aliens= 26laps, 27 including warm up lap? Doesn't matter, soft-med combo won't last, at least on my F550, I get 14 tyre wear on FL after 10 laps. Argh. Med-med suck (epic understeeeeeeeeeeer), hence, dare I say it.... med-hard? Huh? Race pace (aliens excluded) in mid 1.23s? Man I hate FIA, why couldn't they use F1 tracks for GT racing, I'm completely lost on this unknown tracks.

Maximum of 30 laps. Average racepace of let's say...1:22, makes for more than 40 minutes, and that's a pretty fast racepace. So indeed it will go down with time. Edit: Lol, saw you were thinking the same

Can I ask a bit of advice? I installed the IROC GTL mod for GTR2 (Power and Glory) but before it installed it gave a message "Power & Glory is not compatible with NAP mod - do you want to continue installation?".
I have tried the NAP mod a while ago, but I was sure that when you 'swap' back to the normal game it is as if its not there?
I pressed continue anyway! eek
Now when I drive a normal GTR2 car (and I noticed this on the P&G Cortina too) the revs dont go up smoothly. It gets to near the top end then sort of sounds like its stopped accelerating as hard for a few revs, then frees up again to the red line... is this going to affect me in the race?
Do you think I should I do a complete reinstall of GTR2?

I've no idea but I suggest you try connecting to the practice server. If you get mismatches you may at least have time to sort it if you're quick.

Just find your own pace Gazza and see how you go. You are not the only struggling here. Some of the cambers and corner run out's catch me out a bit. You think you are through the bend and past the apex, accelerate and find the corner tightening and you go wide.
Think many positions will be decided by who makes fewer mistakes.
I have been deprived of racing action, so I'm racing tonight even though I'm off the pace a bit.
Get some practice in after tea

I'm not going to make this evening - along with not getting to grips with the course I'm blocked up with hay-fever and a cold .... and concentration gets ruined easily when snot's runnning down your chin. After missing two on the trot, I'm looking forward to Mangy and Imola to finish.
