Got the payout and everything.

That is strange because I'm literally doing practice laps in the Merc at Spa?

You sure the payout wasn't for the TT that finished?

They ended it and re-added it.

Anybody know where we can find BoP updates? Doesn't look like GT-Engine has updated their data yet.

Nice! All four of the cars that I'm considering for the next Manu Cup round -- Alfa Romeo, Audi, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi -- have all been buffed. I might actually be somewhat competitive this time around.

I'm hoping that the McLaren buff also brings it back up to being a little more competitive now as well!

No Nerf to the Gr3 Supra.

There is for high-speed tracks, apparently:


As for Saturday's race, it looks pretty straightforward. Just a 10-lap sprint. I haven't driven 10 laps in free practice yet to see if there is any rain, but I doubt we'll see any. This is Nations Cup, after all (not Manu).

The one thing that strikes me as a bit odd is that we'll only have 5 minutes for qualifying. I'm guessing that will mean only one qualifying lap since even the best time in the global ranking was over 2:32.

10 laps in this Merc could be a bit of an attritional one at lower levels. I've not driven it yet but I'm assuming it likes to slide around.

It's not that bad actually. The brakes are very "of the era" and to actually go fast there are a couple of places you over rev the he'll out of it.

It is a bit slide happy off of curbs but you can coast past that trait a bit.

I think the attrition will come from consistency rather than it sliding all over the place. Once you get a line wrong there is not real on the pace way to recover just because of carrying momentum.

I'm not GT1 this time round so will report high GT2 lobby races when I do them, but I'm feeling this will be like the RA at Watkins. Some will know how to extract the corner speed and some will drive it like a normal car.
