Out of curiosity I gave the DTM Audi a run around Suzuka. Best leaderboard lap is a 1.46, some 14s faster than the GTR3s best. So I thought I would be happy if I could get within a couple of seconds of that. First attempts with basically default setup were well off the pace, 1.53-1.54s, where am I losing 7-8s  . Tried a challenge against a guy in the 1.49s to see where I was going wrong & clearly the default setup is far too understeery, I just was not able to do the early Esses section at his speed. So tried some setup adjustments & found the one thing that made the biggest difference was to lower the front ride height, that instantly reduced the understeer & gained a couple of seconds. Eventually got down to 1.50, so still a couple of seconds away from where I would like to be. However keeping this thing on the track for 90mins is never going to happen. |

Next week's endurance race is 2.4h of Nordschleife with the GTR3. Predictable given the real life race is this weekend. Other highlights include a couple of races at a new track, Valersbanen, including one with the NSU TTS.

Tried the Mercedes AMG for a couple of laps & got an 8.32 which is probably not quick enough for the gold server yet, probably need to be around 8.20 to be competitive I reckon. Anyone else planning on trying this? I probably would not have been interested but with GT Legends screwed on my PC at present I need something to do on Wednesday!!!  |

They finally released Brno on RaceRoom and it's next week's 90 min endurance race (GTR3 only). Might need to pick this one up and maybe try the new AMG EVO as well. The rest of the schedule has too much Hockenheim for my tastes.  |

Always liked Brno, so will certainly be purchasing that later.
I did not take part in the Nords race last even though I had prepared for it & eventually managed to get under 8.20 with the AMG. Reasons, first it was a lovely evening & seemed a shame to spend it indoors & secondly my PC had decided to download & install a Win10 update, so let it carry on.
As some of you may know I have been having problems since the last Logitech update with GT Legends not starting & on a couple of occasions RRE being reluctant to run. So I have bit the bullet & ordered one of the new Fanatec CSL DD wheelbases & Clubsport R300 wheel & decided to retire the G29. Only problem is it won't arrive until November!

I tried a bunch of different cars at Brno but they all understeered like crazy so I skipped the race. No enduro next week because supposedly the new FFB is coming out. Tonight is probably the last time I touch R3E until the FFB gets an update. Here's hoping nothing breaks in the process and people who find the current FFB objectionable will experience an improvement. |

Anyone taking I this week's race at Monza? I will be having a run in the 911, more chance of reaching the finish than in the Audi.

Not done one yet, but could be tempted by this. Fixed setup or free? What is a decent laptime?

I think it is free setup, normally is for the enduros. No idea on laptime, I will try a few laps later & let you know. Which server are you guys eligible for? |

Well the best leaderboard time is 1.27.2, I got down to a 1.27.9 eventually, with a potential best of 1.27.7. So I will give this one a go but not sure which server to go for, gold or silver |

Easy brons, normally silver, gold is very difficult due to rating.
Mostly a 1,5 seconds of the pace. Depending on riding in group or not.
Tried a 30min AI race with 3x fuel-tires. AI did 2 stops, me only 1 with a refuel of 25l and front tire change. At the end front left was at 15%. maybe a 2 stopper possible for another front tire change )only downside is that a tire change is quit long in the NSU.
