Challenge 8 Stage 6 pls HELP!

[MikiSale]

So I know it’s been discussed in the past, but after patches and updates the old methods don’t work anymore. Is there anyone that actually got first recently in this endurance challenge? I tried already 3 times with different methods, never went out of tracks, and still got second with a 8 seconds difference. Any suggestion please?

I saw your post and I just tried it now and won easy, but I just did not try to hard on this race or even once I got in 1st place.

I started the race with Racing Soft Tires and the fuel lean map on 1, then I made a pitstop on lap 13 , on that pitstop I change to Racing Medium and a full fuel tank, and fuel lean map on 1.
Then on lap 25 pitstop I went to Racing Medium again with 5 laps of fuel or any other tires will do. I ended up winning by around 37 seconds 🙂.

Thank you so much! I’ll try your strat and let you know! I hope it will work, I don’t think I’m too bad at driving, those 2 times I tried I never went out of tracks or something like that but still lost. One thing: so you stayed the whole race with fuel consumption on 1 right?

Yes Fuel Map on 1 all the time.

Just made it with soft tires and a 40 seconds difference! It was definitely the tires, thank you! Could you explain why the tires make such a huge difference? Isn’t it only more adherence?
What do you suggest me to use in the final endurance of stage 8? Soft again?

Tires make a huge difference in endurance races, where there is tire wear, you can test the tire wear yourself to understand the strange physics.

With the final endurance of stage 8 and I have not done that race for a few years, and back then you could use a number of cars to do that race and win. I use the VW Beetle back then but it was easy with that car, but I don't know what is it like now my friend.

Are you nearly up to the last endurance race of stage 8 ?.

Mate, tyres are everything, they're more than horsepower or downforce.

This is the car I used for the final endurance stage 8 a few years ago, and I have not use it since.

Racing Soft tires all the time and pitted every lap for fuel & tires, fuel map on 1 all the time. With the Volkswagen Beetle with the strategy I use, you can do it on a 2 stop pitstop if you use this car but you can use any Gr.3 car.

Yep, there are 2/3 different endurances in Stage 8 and I used in all of them the soft tires and won first try!
Thank you again!

No problem my friend Racing Medium and Racing Soft are the way to go on most of these endurance races.
