My vote is Alsace. Not because I want or know it, but because I put it in the randomizer and it was #1 lol.

Can the test course be chosen to lap in? I've only seen it in races. Then again, I don't really go to Alsace, so maybe I'm just not seeing it.

Not sure, I don't remember driving Alsace. The only two tracks I am familiar with on the list are Goodwood and Sarthe.

For me, it would be Le Mans and maaaaaaybe Fuji? I don't tend to race on the short layout of courses.

If it wasn't in base console AC I am not going to be really familiar with it. Sarthe wasn't there but I like it and have lapped it quite a bit at night in GR1 cars.

After about 14 laps, this is what I came up with. I did a trial run yesterday and I was doing the first turn in 5th rather than flat out in 4th with a little a braking while on WOT. Really fun track.

@ @ Your tips actually have helped me a lot. I didn’t realize how much the braking zones were slowing me down. Taking full advantage of the track. I feel like Im full sending it now more than ever lol

I didn't vote last time because I was leaning more towards being a tie breaker, but I'm leaning towards Spa for the next track.
