All GT cars. No LMP.

For the realism factor, id say 2:12.5xx is a good starting point..
I need help collecting lap times at 24h nurburgring in stock IS F CCSR 11. I believe the car is much slower than its real life counterpart from the 2012 24h. But its hard to get a good lap time in 1 try. Lol as I just crashed in the 17th minute... yeah, I had about 15 turns to go on the 2nd lap.

stock as in setup?

Are you attempting this in totally stock form? ie. Suspension, Gearbox etc etc.

Consistency is key on the Nordschlife, and as you will need its ultimate pace, you will need to run the fuel down first. So lets say 4 laps to get a feel for the track, pit for fresh tires, do your 5th lap and the 6th will be the flying lap. The car is likely to feel quite different by the sixth as low fuel and good tires will change the dynamics of whatever your settings are.

So each time you decide to make changes to your setup your going to have to do maybe another six laps to really know if its helped your ultimate pace or not..

Stock as in oil change 100% and weight. My results. It is definitely slower than the real life car real was 8:44 I just got a 9:06.8 I made a few little mistakes of course but nothing big. 9:02 or 3 would be a perfect lap with my set up.

Silverstone lap was 2:11.something

Real GT4(SP10) get between 9:15 and 9:20 in race conditions.

Very close to GT4 spec...

Just going to say that being 2 sec per minute slower than a professional driver at the Nordschliefe shouldn't exactly be out of the question.

See how close you can get an 8:44 at 24h nurb :) in 1400kg 445hp CCSR :)


Laguna seca 1:30.4

Aston martin NA 1:33.9, 1:36 and 1:37

Im tired of driving alone. :(

Edit http://gt4cup.com/faq.php

Race preparation of standard cars will concentrate on braking and transmission systems, dampers and safety elements (cockpit, fuel tank, etc.) while leaving the engine in its original form as much as possible. Basically, SRO is considering GT cars with an approximate power-to-weight ratio of 3.5 kg/hp. Furthermore, the original aerodynamics of a car must also be maintained, therefore no wings or spoilers shall be permitted unless they are an integral part of the original bodywork of a basic model.

Where have you pulled the 8:44 from? The Gazoo Racing LFA did an 8:44 in 2012 (Top picture) The first year Gazoo ran the ISF was 2013, and it did a 9.27 in qualifying (Bottom picture)

So the minimum 2 driver swap rule "8.2.c To be Classified, a Team must have completed a minimum of 2 Driver Changes." was originally introduced to enforce 2 driver swaps in the 6 hour events to stop teams with only 2 drivers gaining an advantage.
Will this rule be enforced in the 4 hour events, or will it be amended to omit the 4 hour events? (Which are essentially replacing the support events which required only 2 drivers.)

That is a very good question... I know in the support race for Bathurst they only had 1 driver change. But we will have to wait for an official answer I guess.

Well I remember P3 teams permitting 2-3 drivers per event so I'd presume a minimum of 2 changes is required, but I'm not 100% sure. 👍

AJ had said in a PM that in the 4 hour races it's required to have at least 3 drivers. I'm not sure if you can have 4 or more In the 4H races but I would assume so if a team wants too. Not exactly sure
 
According to Appendix A of the sporting reg, you can have 4 drivers for VLN. For the rest of the 4 hr races 2-3 drivers

GTORacing will from this moment be withdrawing from the GTP ES by a collective team decision. We thank the drivers and teams who have given us some fun and interesting battles, as well as new friends being made.

We hope to see some of you on track again in the future. Best of luck all.​

If he said that in a PM, it should be stated in the Sporting Regulations.
