Every time i hear how the C9 sounds in GT, i get depressed. That's why i dind't use that car for the series.
In GT6 it sounds like it inhailed Helium

I was not aware of this. I shall do some experimentation next week to see what the best option is. I found after the first hour I could run fairly comparable pace on RH tyres to Plux but could still do a 'full' stint without the tyres going off too severely. I will post my findings when I've found them

I assume we will remain at the mercy of an update fix. Until then just remember we're all in the same boat, just try and tune around it as best as you can.

No, it will be a full 24h cycle. Time acceleration set to 12, start time 1500

The tyre bug does make it a challenge, but in fairness we already have 'Racing Line' to help and in my view anything less than 'Heavy Damage' just isn't racing
Drivers just need t0 slow down and drive within the conditions and tyres allow....
jajajajajaja...ok, you will regret that during the race i promise lol

I have attempted to tune my car to compensate for the bug, so now it's a bit of a pig on the first stint, and hopefully less of a crazy horse on the remaining stints. However, because of this I have given up on trying to tune it to the nth degree.

As much as you're right and we're all going to be kicking ourselves for making this decision; The idea was always to run this race on heavy damage, it's been stated as much on the OP thus, in the nicest possible way, suck it up!
At least we'll all be in the same boat together, but it will be interesting to see who can pull off the right balance of speed and consistency.

Diver’s Brief: Nurburgring
Configuration: Configuration - Nordschleife - Change Weather/Time
Laps: 20
Weather:
Initial Setting: 0
Changability: 30
Surface Water at Start: 0
Pit Lines:
Pit In: Not in effect.
Pit Out: No pit line, however drivers should be aware of the Rejoin Blocking rule and allow faster cars past into Turn 1.
Track Limits:
Are defined under the ‘corner cutting’ section of the ‘rules and regulations’ section on the OP (permissible curbing colour is red and white in this case), with no exceptions
Start Procedure
Due to the nature of the track, and the cars we will be driving, a full pace lap, nor a double file start is feasible. Instead the field will lead off in single file through the first complex. When they reach the Hocheichen corner (view images for reference), each subsequent car will go green.
To be entirely clear, the field will not go green simultaneously, anyone who does so early will be given a jump start penalty (+60). While I appreciate this places far more premium on qualifying performance than a normal start procedure, it is the best option we could devise.
Notes
Please remember that this will be a full damage event. It is not supposed to be easy, in fact quite the opposite. It will be up to you to control your pace and take as few risks as possible.
There has recently been a patch (1.03) that reportedly affects the handling of MR cars, so please be aware of any implications this has on your set-up.
In order to reduce miscommunication, slower cars (damaged or being lapped) should move over to the right hand side when they feel it is safe to let another car passed. However if they do not move aside when a clear opportunity presents itself, they will receive a penalty.
Amongst you are some of the finest drivers I’ve ever had the privilege to race with, let’s end the series on the high.

Helpful little bit of findings, after the first stint, tyres will last 4 laps without modifying your driving style, 5 could be doable but you'll have to give away lots of lap time.
