"The events will be run on Intermediate damage and allow ONE Shift-R " Maybe, for this specific race, a 2nd shift-R should be authorized to allow a refueling due to the distance (28 laps !!) ?

The GT's will run for at least double the distance needed for this race on a full tank

If this "longer race" is a success, then maybe we might introduce a few GT endurance races before the start of season 22?

I know you can drive more than 20 laps with these 220 liters, maybe even 28 laps ...but not sure !

I find the fuel mileage estimation very wrong for some GT cars. For instance the Porsche can go almost twice the distance it shows in the setup screen...

It is always possible to extend the number of laps that you can do by careful driving.
Even in the original 67 GPL, on some circuits some cars cannot complete a full GP distance on one tank at max race speed and it is necessary to short shift and conserve fuel...much like modern F1 cars.
But, I think you will find that everyone should be able to complete the 28 laps on Sunday.

I was practicing with about 50 gals of fuel in the Mk2, I only need 32 for race distance..... Only way you'll have fuel issues is if you suffer a freak mechanical accident like Hristo did at Pebble Beach last season in the Am's

I might have been in some way involved of course - but it was the tree that did it for your fuel tank

Pretty sure you can do it reasonably comfortably on one tank but you do have that one Shift-R - don't waste it

I'm a late entry for this Series. With the Ferrari and Porsche, taken in the Pink team, does that leave the MkII going spare?
