I tested yesterday (15Laps offline) and my best time:
2:01.958
But that was a perfect Lap for me and I´m not consistant in that
Average: 2:02.3xx-2:02.8xx
Tire-saving laps (no red Tires on the left): 2:03.3xx
I´m almost ready I just need to test how many Laps I can do with one set of Tires but all of you said 8 => I can do 10 xDDDD
PS: I went in the Sand too and man you loose Time !! Especially at the Esses.

10 laps is good going can manage 9 on tip toes just
tactics could come into it here do you go off hard and hope to hang on, or play it conservative save tyres and make a charge in the later laps either could work but one trip to Bognor beach will probably ruin either strategy. Should be interesting to see how old Furi tackles things
Laps wise we are looking towards 8 sprint and 17 pitstop race just need that confirmed with my co-host.👍

No, my best so far is 2:01.889
You'll need to be faster then that.

Test online, simple as that, tyres wear more online. Also, I'm around 9 or 10 I think with my new setup, I just said those distances because of length as well, but tyres will still turn bad in less then 16 laps so we have proper pitting as well.👍

The races are where its really atYou'll need to be faster than that
The Chevvy has massive torque which gets me out of the turns well, and so sets up overtaking opportunities into the next one
I get your point though, hotlap pace is kind of an indicator of how the races might go

I did test Online now (my first test offline is just getting to know the max of Track, Car and Tires for each turn and putting that knowledge together).
Tire wear is ok because the Maserati is Tire-friendly even at 2nd gear Hairpin/chicane
2:03s all the time lead me to 10 laps (last 3 are 2:04s and finaly a 2:05)
=> if the race lasts 8laps I can do 2:02s with some 2:03s hope that brings me to the Podium
I´ll test some more because I do spin sometimes or have a bad line which leads to a "bad" lap-time.
But I´m pretty confident that my race-pace is ok.
My Tire-killer sector is from Degner1 till end of Spoon-Corner (Esses are not so killing)
(Topspeed: 270 kph before Turn 1 maybe thats impressive xD and 205 kph through 130R)

I have just completed my Sending A Car Around The World commitments. Now to the race at Suzuka. My car is ready. I'm ready.
Here is photo of my car to scare the competition. It looks so mean. And I can see a monkey.

No, but he's my friend. He always waves when I fly past him in whatever car I'm in.
Took out my V8 today.
Sandcastles, mowed the grass, applied paint to the wall, lost control and ended up backwards into the pits. So back to sports softs to get used to the car again. Then I'll go to racing softs closer to the race.
