Here is my second narrative for the Formula GT World Championship. I did the whole thing in A-spec again. I ran it using a DF (not pro) wheel and a completely stock F1 car except I changed the toe to -2 from -6 to get better tire wear and added 100 kgs ballast to see if it would make for better competition. It boosted the A-spec points to 115. But the competition, although better, was still pretty weak. I left the results sections from my first write-up as a comparison. The best lap is the best indicator of what the 100kg meant in performance.
Tokyo 60 laps:
Started out OK, missing most of the 1st turn traffic and had a slim lead at the end of 1 lap. I pitted at ten laps on very orangey-red tires, and the car starting to handle badly. 9 would be better but it would leave an odd number of laps at the end. 13 seconds back as I reentered the race. The extra 100 kgs seems to make the front tires wear faster and add about 3-4 seconds a lap. The pack pitted at 11 laps (and then alternated with 11 or 12 laps). The 2nd place car at 12 laps consistently. I was barely in the lead after the 2nd stop at lap 20. I lapped the back markers on lap 39 but couldnt hold them off on red tires. On my final lap I lapped the leader who was in the pits one lap before his end -- bad AI pit strategy
Results (100kg ballast):
Winning Margin: 1 lap
Total time: just over 1 hour 23 minutes
Best lap: 1:15.954 - Average 1:23.000
Observations: Tires wear quicker and in a different pattern than with no ballast. Better to have the fronts go first anyway.
Results (no ballast):
Winning Margin: 2.75 laps
Total time: just over 1 hour 19 minutes
Best lap: 1:13.659 - Average 1:19.000
Twin Ring Motegi Super Speedway 127 laps:
I got to 1st on the 4th lap but couldnt hold it without a slipstream. Then I spun it on lap 9 (wheel in the infield grass) and went back to 3rd a few seconds back. The whole pack pitted at 13 but I could go 18 before I had to brake to make the tight turn, even though 3 of the four tires were bright red. Lapped the pack in the pits on lap 14, but came out of my 18th lap pit in 3rd less than a second behind. Since I had 2 stops fewer, it wasnt much competition after that.

New York 74 laps:
Tire wear was about the same as with no ballast, and, for the first time, the rears went red before the fronts. Made 10 laps but 9 laps is best, so 2 10s and the 9s the rest of the way. The pack didnt pit until lap 11 or 12 so I was in 3rd 10 seconds back till then. Kept the lead after the 20 lap stop, though, so I was home free,. Didnt catch the last place car until lap 27, then it took till lap 38 to lap the field, only to give it back when I pitted.

High Speed Ring 77 laps:
I was in 1st place by the first turn and up by 19 seconds at the first pt stop. Not enough to keep the lead, of course. With 77 laps 11 seemed a good pit strategy. Had two red front tires but it still handled OK. The AI is terrible on the first turn, braking for the little kink at the end. The whole pack pitted on lap 12, so I wasnt far off. Lapped the pack on the 36th lap. Spent less time messing with the leader this time, which resulted in a lower overall time.

Grand Valley 62 laps:
Started pulling away from the pack right away and had a 18 second lead after 4 laps, only to catch a wheel in the grass on lap 5 and give back almost half of it . I was hoping to get 6 laps before my first pit stop but I was able to stretch it to 7 the first two stops to save a stop.. The pack caught me and I wound up in 6th until they pitted on lap 8. Couldnt lap the field until lap 57.

Sarthe 1 23 laps:
The pack pitted on the 4th lap and I was still on yellows! I was hoping to make 5 laps because of the extra weight, but I made it to 6 on bright orange as I did with no ballast. Looks like a 6,6,6,5 is it again. The pack will do 4,4,4,4,4,3 giving me 2 stops in hand! Closest race yet, as expected. I basically won by one pit stop, not good driving.

Cote d'Azur 78 laps:
Caught the pole sitter 2nd time through the Loews hairpin and never looked back. Ive always used an 8 lap pit strategy in GT3 but could only make 7 here, as was the case without ballast. Rears were red and fronts barely orange! Did 8 the first stop to save an extra stop, but it was pretty nasty the last half lap. Pack made it to 9 laps, so I am down a stop. I didnt lap the field until after my last stop at 71 laps, mainly because I was fooling around with the 1st place points car. Something I like to do to pass the time

Seoul 113 laps:
I wound up getting 16 laps for a 7 stop strategy. More than that didnt pay, as I was almost out of gas anyway. Didnt keep the lead as I did with no ballast, though. Pack lasted until 19, 20 or 21 the widest spread of AI strategies yet. But I lapped the leader on lap 51 so, much later than without ballast

Infineon 76 laps:
Lots of places to get in trouble here. Took until the 4th lap before I had a clean lap and I was 15 seconds behind by then. Tires were used up on lap 8 but looks like 9,9,9,9.8,8,8,8,8 is best, 8 stops to their 7. I finally got the lead on lap 21 when the pack pitted the 2nd time. I gain about 5-6 seconds in the pit each time. All 5 going in at once must slow things down Kept the lead after the 3rd stop, making up the extra pit stop.

I was over 35 seconds ahead by the first stop so I stayed in 1st easily. The whole pack pitted at 11 laps. I lapped the pack at the end of lap 15. All of the AI go wide right on the corner past the cork-screw and do a nice 360 across the track into the gravel on the left every 3-4 laps. Youd think they would learn

Twin Ring Motegi Road Course 64 laps
I thought that this was not a fair comparison between the two series on this track as when I did it without ballast I didnt know the track well and didnt start getting good times until lap 20-30. This time I was reasonably fast straight away. However I was much slower this time anyway. Made 8 laps on red rear tires and lost the lead going into the pits. The pack stopped at lap 9 so they should have the same number of stops, assuming they are dumb enough to pit on lap 63 (they are, in fact). I was behind after the second pit stop, but only in 2nd a couple seconds back.

Lost the lead, of course, but the pack pitted at 8, so it could have been worse. Could have lapped the field but I tried to stretch the last stop to 8 and that lap took almost 35 seconds more than the average. Moral Dont let the tires get RED,

Suzuka 53 laps:
Last race! I like this track even though there are endless places to get in trouble. Not doing so well at the start. I pitted at and the pack just motored on by. Pack stopped at lap 8 and I regained the lead by 9 seconds. At least well have the same number of stops. Couldnt go 8 on, as I did without ballast so it will be a 7,7,7,7,7,6,6,6. Had a 15 second lead after the 2nd round of pit stops and started gaining 1-2 seconds a lap. All I have to do is stay on the track! Took until lap 23 before I kept the lead for good. Actually faster with ballast. Why? Probably because I got the Gold license here between series. So I knew the track much better.

Well its done again, nearly 21 hours of racing. I won 150, 55, 55, 52, 51, 27. A bit more competition but 150kgs or even 200kgs might be even better. But I got 1725 A-spec points and a cool 4.5M credits. Gives me 9.3M credits at 39% done on day 667; almost time to buy some black cars!.

Suzuka 53 laps:
Last race! I like this track even though there are endless places to get in trouble. Not doing so well at the start. I pitted at and the pack just motored on by. Pack stopped at lap 8 and I regained the lead by 9 seconds. At least well have the same number of stops. Couldnt go 8 on, as I did without ballast so it will be a 7,7,7,7,7,6,6,6. Had a 15 second lead after the 2nd round of pit stops and started gaining 1-2 seconds a lap. All I have to do is stay on the track! Took until lap 23 before I kept the lead for good. Actually faster with ballast. Why? Probably because I got the Gold license here between series. So I knew the track much better.
Results (100 kgs ballast):
Winning Margin: just under 1 minute 15 seconds.
Total time: just over 1 hour 31 minutes
Best lap 1:35.464 Average 1:43.019
Results (no ballast):
Winning Margin: just under 25 seconds.
Total time: just over 1 hour 32 minutes
Best lap 1:33.556 Average 1:44.151 (obviously a lot of gravel time)!
Well its done again, nearly 21 hours of racing. I won 150, 55, 55, 52, 51, 27. A bit more competition but 150kgs or even 200kgs might be even better. But I got 1725 A-spec points and a cool 4.5M credits. Gives me 9.3M credits at 39% done on day 667; almost time to buy some black cars!.
...O.G.
