I hope to see you for round 2 of the Super GT500 championship. Note the early evening virtual start time. This is to make the track more interesting to drive (as we have done it many times) NOT more difficult to drive. There is some heavy sun light at that time but, it is almost set (you will only see it for the first 20mins or so) and does not affect the view of any of the corners.

Going to be tricky round here. Softs are far faster but how long will they last? Low 54's with softs and 50L

53s and 52s for some people. I'm in the 53s my self. I did have a very big drop in frames per second when I raced off line with a full grid and a standing start. It was back up again after the field had spread out. With a rolling start, it will help a little but, some people may need to reduce settings a little. I recommend light effects no higher than medium and if you need to improve the frame rate then turning down the shadows and shadow quality should be the first thing you look at other than light effects (light detail, or what ever its called in game). See you all in the race.

After watching a hot lap replay of myself I noticed that I was cutting the last left curb of the chicane leading to the start/finish straight without realising. Watch out for that. 2 wheels inside the white lines at all times please. We were all very well behaved at Melbourne. Lets have more of the same tonight gents.

For what is probably my favourite track & using cars that I'm really enjoying, I just didn't get to grips with that Think I'd have finished 6th/7th tonight, but ran a fraction wide through that 'almost flat out 2nd last turn' & as I put the power back down while on the kerb.... night night :'(

Made the same mistake as Legzy, only in 10th minute of the race. Damaged car meant I was losing 5 sec per lap but I didn't want to stop just for repairs and continued up to the 40 min to go. Then I was driving with a good pace (for me) and caught Ade with 20 min to go. My tyres were worn by then, approaching 20. Couldn't catch him and in overdriving I clipped the curb and spun into the barrier. Nice track, but I never really score here. Was a bit faster with F550 but Jap cars are much easier to (over)drive, so...

Shame about your tyres though SBG Not sure of its this mod or the x2 wear but, for me, the tyre wear model was just good grip then poor grip. I didn't feel any degradation at all and its just took me by suprise. I'll be waiting next time Throughly enjoyed the racing. Good close battle with Hal and Lazlow where all of us made mistakes whilst leading. Then, they ironed out the mistakes and left me behind. Congrats to the nasty men The mod provides good close racing, simples.

Oh, it was 2x tyre and 2x fuel ! Took hards all round for 1st stint with half a view to not change, was wondering why they seemed to wear as fast as meds... took a late stop (It's nice to lead the race even for a couple of laps ) then took meds to see if I could keep up with NSfast, who I managed to get in the way of for a while. Your braking was wayyyy later than I could manage, and your speed through 130R and the final chicane seemed a lot quicker too. What tyres? I came out of the pits just as Spanner and NSfats went by, was gaining on them a bit, but kept putting wheels off and eventually fell back. Good racing, these Japs are manic to drive, I like the mod.
