Need to practice for this,  are we using the GP or GT layout (GT has faster last chicane) ?

oops caught out! I couldn't remember what layout it was set to  ;D

I am going to set it to the GP_b layout (which should be the GP-GT version)

I've been using this for fuel calcs, its more accurate than the one in the setup screen   https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/fuel-usage.3910/


Unlucky to the disco guys, that's no fun  :(

Really enjoying this gt2 series, seems good racing every round.  :)

I thought the Vette would eat up softs at this track so opted for a set of meds and no tyre change. Worked quite well pipping spanner at the stops and closing Simon down to 5 secs. Pace was generally decent but they were awful for last 10mins losing 1.5-2 secs per lap. Bagged a 3rd place podium though  :)

Are you stuck with a pre selected pit stop strategy or can it be over ruled somehow? Sometimes I’d like to change my strategy depending on how a race is panning out.

Will use that ap in future, 4 times run out of fuel by relying on set up info.

You must have employed my old pit mechanic from our srouk endurance days  ;D i used to often get the fuel wrong or cock up a pitstop in gtr2 days.  :P  Touch wood but i have found the pit stops very straigtht forward in AC. I had a very slick stop last night for a 10L splash & dash

I think you can change the pitstop strategy on the fly while you are trundling down the pitlane (using the arrow keys etc)

How to change pit options on the fly  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QXAMu4ze-U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QXAMu4ze-U)




Another question,  how come the 911 RSR (2017) is in class   LM GTE , but the others cars are "unknown"...    are they not all GTE cars?
