It does take some time to get used to it, I had to configure it for 80% of travel. It just feels a little unrealistic because I've never driven a car with that much brake travel.

It is a bit much. The load cell pedal is a good upgrade. I've gotten used to it so I don't notice it so much anymore.

Coming to the realization that racing rigs is the equivalent of car parts. Once you get into cars, you realize how many different "upgrades" there is for it.

Oh I know lol. When I first built my PC, it opened a gateway drug to aaaaallll the parts out there, and I ended spending a stupid amount of money on my setup. Then there was AC, and the introduction to mods. I ended up giving up on AC because it is hard to keep up with the many settings you have to download in order to enjoy the wide arrange of mods.

My pick goes to either Goodwood or the Alsace Test Course. Don't think we've done those in the past.

If it's Le Man's, I say switch gen 1 to the 86 Gr4 car and gen 2 to the BRZ GT300. Stock street cars will be way too slow. Lol

Winner track is 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit

For all events Race Soft Tires are allowed. No other modifications allowed.

GR Sanctioned vehicles are to be used for this race.


Gen 1: 86 Gr4
Gen 2: BRZ GT300


To make things interesting, if possible. The Gen 2 lap time is to be completed at night time.
