Gran Turismo World Series (Nations Cup 2025 Exhibition Season 2: 26 Feb - 8 Mar)

Ten laps is good! I did a lobby race yesterday and me and the car I was racing came in at the end of 6 I think...

Yeah. I think they only lasted that long because I'm so slow on them and I was held up by the AI as I worked my way up the field.

I'd venture to guess the softs are ~1.5-2 seconds faster/lap than the hards. Even 75% dead softs probably on pace with hards.

That's what I'd usually expect, too. bit since the physics update last summer, I've really struggled with soft tires in Gr.3. Don't know what it is, but I find I'm often faster now on RM tires than RS. I just seem to suck at Gr.3 in general now, but soft tires really magnify it.

It’s a short pitlane at Watkins. A 2-stopper with only a lap or 2 on hards may be in play here, especially in GT1.

Did 10 laps in the GT-R. Went in the BMW and immediately went a second faster. Good job on that BOP Kaz!

The 2013 GTR was OP for a very long time; as was the Gr4 GTR. The 18 GTR was added and the 13 was toned down. His bias is quite obvious, regardless.

We need to get Kaz into a Corvette!

Using the M6 Endurance, I started on hards and changed to softs at the end of lap 12. It's a very risky and sketchy strategy. You don't really make up that much time to someone who starts on softs, because the fall off due to tyre degradation is so severe. At the most, you'd want to run softts for 8-9 laps max. At the end of my 12 lap hard stint, the tyres were almost gone by the end of the race.

It was good in a line it was good at nothing else. It got nerfed and it was still good in a line and good at nothing else.

as was the Gr4 GTR

I have recovered from the small stroke I suffered upon reading this to realise - nay, hope - that you're actually referring purely to GT7's lifespan, and not anything else that came before. Surely. For the sake of my sanity you are, yes.

Anyway what we can all agree on is **** the Toyota Supra.

Are any of the Gr3 cars significantly better on tyres than the M6? I think I’ll only get 7 laps out of the softs…
