Please keep me/us updates as AMG is my Manu as well.AMG '20. Mediums were roughly 16-17 laps. Not tried the Softs yet.

I drive in hood cam. Chase cam is too far away for me and bumper cam is too close too the track for me to see the sides of my car. I haven't tried cockpit cam so I can't comment on that. I have the radar on all the time so it's not like I'm unaware of anything on the rear/sides of the car. I should have noticed the red indicators on my left side so I could avoid contact. The lack of a rear view mirror doesn't help so I can see why these incidents happen.Do you drive in one of these views: Bumper or hood or cockpit? Asking because this kind of incident is the most common incident I see in Sport. One of new posts in Daily Races thread is about a similar incident. I drive in chase cam so I am always aware of anyone trying to squeeze past me.
In case anybody wanted to look at it, I threw this together based on what people have been posting for the preliminary results so you can see what the prizes are for each league. Interestingly, GT2 and GT3 prizes are the same scale, which I think is odd.

Obviously your total would be different depending on your placements, but was really just to put together so I could compare the payouts between, say all Bronze in GT1 vs. all Gold in GT2/GT3.
I wouldn't do it either. I think the obvious solution is to bump up the pay of GT1 and GT2 leagues.Interesting. I’m not going to do it, but as someone near the bottom of DR B in GT2 I could make a lot more credits dropping down to GT3.
Ok so it appears Softs last around 11ish laps. My test run of 11S/19H was exactly the same time as 15M/15H. To be fair to PD, they've hit the nail on the head with this multiplier as i'm so confused at the moment as to what the better strat will be . Its all going to come down to where you qualify and the traffic on the track.Please keep me/us updates as AMG is my Manu as well.
Agree, it is a bit silly that I am making more in GT3 then one would in GT2.I wouldn't do it either. I think the obvious solution is to bump up the pay of GT1 and GT2 leagues.
I'm very biased but I hope Ferrari holds on. Happy to see my local boys top of the pile as well. Sad that the American cars have been so underpar this season, especially Ford. BoP has done them no favours.Who's gonna punch in tickets to Amsterdam and Monaco with one round left? As it stands, top 11 (Mazda 10th) plus Genesis.
- Porsche can miss out for the first time.
- Ferrari at brink of being bumped out of the bubble if their season collapse keeps going.

I used Ford till recently, both the gr 3 and the gr 4 cars were excellent imo, they were fast enough and handled well. That was pretty much gone after the update an BoP change. a bit shocked to see that they are so far down the order now.I'm very biased but I hope Ferrari holds on.

The physics change that made the MRs driveable really has worked well. Much more balanced with the FR cars now. The finals should be good viewing.

Running it Hards first makes the softs last 3 laps longer on the lighter car. I just don't think stopping twice will be quicker with each stop 27 seconds. Hards with a heavy car are awful. T1 on cold hards is a nightmare.Good stuff!
11RS/11RS/8RH?
14RM/15RM/1RH?
This could get interesting! Will likely have to do some lobby testing tonight to see what's what.
How are you testing the BoP on the track? I wasn't able to find a way to fix BoP for custom races, time trials, or even by creating an online lobby.Running it Hards first makes the softs last 3 laps longer on the lighter car.

In the custom race settings there's a drop down to switch BoP on or off.How are you testing the BoP on the track? I wasn't able to find a way to fix BoP for custom races, time trials, or even by creating an online lobby.
What am I doing wrong? I cannot toggle BOP on my set up….
What does your screen look like?What am I doing wrong? I cannot toggle BOP on my set up….
I can see in the background you're currently in an N-class car. Those should have their own BoP still, but maybe it doesn't work in Custom Race. Just change to the Gr.3 car you're going to use and try setting up the race again.
That was it! I have never created a custom race in GT7 because I had always heard that the payouts suck, but from looking at it, it doesn't look any worse than the online races pay.I can see in the background you're currently in an N-class car.

Even if the game did let you set the BoP, you'd quickly discover you're in the wrong car and can't swap cars in a Custom Race, so you'd have to go back to your garage, change car, and set it up again anyway.
GT2 with the Ferrari I think I'm just going to start on the softs and see how it plays out. More grip at the start should more than make up for the pitstop time loss, especially if others are on the hards. I'm ok with the tyre wear usually so maybe can manage a 12S/8H.
Can confirm this is the fastest strategy on Ferrari Gr3 based on my experience on this combo last time. Also be prepared to be touched from behind leading to a spin.The 458 slides around so much on the Interlagos Icerink, I can’t take advantage of the softs. Only 1.5 secs at most faster than hards and only lasting 8 or 9 laps. My fastest strategy now is doing the hards no-stopper.
Hmmm. My testing says 13s17h is quickest in the Porsche. The hards are horrible, but 2 stops kills me.I just did a lobby in the McLaren with a few other A+ and went 1H 14S 15S and won pretty comfortably. Forgot to look at the total time though.
No stop hards will be quick too I’d say. If you can manage it….

I think you’re right. I watched a couple of Chuupagetti’s lobbies and most were doing similar to yours…16h 14s or 15/15 for the very braveHmmm. My testing says 13s17h is quickest in the Porsche. The hards are horrible, but 2 stops kills me.
Looks like there could be some varied strats at play for this one. PD have finally got it right!
