Does that change the gold time requirement if that happens?

That's actually misleading. Since the course is so long 0.1 lap left in the tank is actually a good amount. I actually was down to 0.1 lap fuel left at the end of the last straight away, lol. Also this race is an easy win in the CLK-LM (of course any 800PP race is with that car). I imagine it would be harder with a Gr.3 car. Seems like the key (other than car choice) is to never pit. AKAIK every AI car pitted once. I also think that it'll be close to impossible to get the CRB in this event (just like every other 'Ring event).

Kaotic, yes that would change the time to get Gold.

Yeah, I wanted to stick with the group 3 cars if possible. I'm sure I could have used the 787B and it would have been super easy. Lol. 1% of gas didn't last long in the Gr3 cars. Haha

Well dang, I hope no one goes faster then as I'd like to keep the gold reward.

I just don't want to have to set another lap in that van if someone goes faster.

the time trial was pretty easy. I think I'm in like top 2.5%? Only had to try for 20ish minutes to get that. The previous week's trial I only managed just under 5%. I find when it's a performance balanced time trial, I do well (i.e. the playing field is level). When it's a car you gotta upgrade and tune yourself, I don't do well.

I hate the way that van drives. It feels like a 4 ton MR car. I also had to relearn Autopolis since I hadn't driven it since some of the license tests. I think I spent like 30ish minutes on it.

Haha, I mean there's still a world of difference (in competitiveness) between a CLK-LM and a 787B. But yes, both are easier than Gr.3. I mostly avoid Gr.3/4 cars. Most are fake so...no thanks.

for me it was the camera. I usually use the chase camera but it's so big that it obscures the corners. So I had to use the "hood" camera, but then in the sections where your ghost gets ahead, it also obscures the entire screen lol. I found you had to be reeeeeaaaallly smooth with it. No sudden steering, brake, or power inputs

Really? I find the Gr3's the most based in reality. Most of the Gr3's are current and past GT3, GT, GTD, GTE cars. I really enjoy driving them. There are quite a few fakes, but they are done well enough in the spirit of GT3's that I still enjoy them. The GR3 Beetle was a WTF for me, but it's a fun car to yeet around.

I like the Gr4 cars since they seem to be the most production like car, just modded. If it's a Gr3 race, I go back to the nostalgic roots and use the GT500 cars. Haha

Why'd they have to mess with the physics engine tho? Shit was fine the way it was. Stop adjusting shit just for the sake of adjusting it because you have nothing else to do.

Also if they really want to do an update that we give a shit about, give everyone a couple million credits just for the hell of it.

I wish the MR cars weren't so twitchy. I don't know if the new update helped them out. The amount of lift off oversteer on some of them was kind of ridiculous.

Bought the 959 and the lift oversteer is pretty intense. But it's easier to managed since it's AWD (yeah, I know it's rear engine as well).

I noticed that the dampening actually does something now. For example, the Ring is pretty bumpy, and the kerbs are gnarly. Before, never had any issues with either using the R34 GT500. After the update, and keeping my suspension the way it was, the kerbs felt like ice and would cause me to spin out. Lowered both dampening adjustments a little, and was a lot better. Now I'll have to keep dampening in mind depending on the track.

I somehow had no clue there was an update til I sat down tonight to play, ha. Wasn’t aware there was any physics change at first. Didn’t take long to figure something was up. The force feedback felt much more lively, I couldn’t believe it. I was having a blast just lapping. I almost always drive normal cars though. Looking in GT forums to see what people were saying about FFB change I see a lot of griping about how race cars got harder to control. I was of the opinion that they got too easy to drive after the last big phys change but dang, pencils gotta be down on that eventually.

I expected to instantly cannonball to my death in the 959 and was ticking off lap after lap having a blast. 997 GT3 was still a little bit of a handful but much more fun. I’m not sure how much was physics change or FFB change. I’m kind of excited to try out some other cars now.
