Yeah I'm starting learn I'm now old. I turning 35 at the end of July. One of my favorites bands just celebrated 20 years anniversary for one of their most popular albums last year. That album came out when I was in high school. Realizing that made me feel real young.

@Cold Warrior didn't you say Mercedes needs Driver's? I will drive for Mercedes of the Group C Cars that one and the Jaguar are the 2 I have the Least amount of Experience with (I don't even own the Jag) so it would be an opportunity to learn the Car and get better with the Car....

I use the news feed in the upper left corner of the screen to share video, it's the only way I know in game. For whatever reason the Sauber appears to be the slowest of the group C cars.

Judging by real life what I've found reported for real life characteristics. The Mercedes is possible the most inaccurate. It particular the in game car seems to have a lot of drag too. And performs closer to the high downforce aero package. Despite the car in game is the low downforce aero package. Used for Le Mans and Monza. They were allowed to change out the wings back then. They were also to boost power for qualifying.
The Mercedes was possible the best of the 5 before the big update last summer. Something they chanced was not in it's favor. Which is sad. Last year I found a really good aero setup for the Mercedes at Spa. I wonder if putting the old default settings back it would still work? It possible has the best aero package but, they really hurt it's cornering low and mid range. And it's thirsty. Though I don't think of Mercedes when I think full efficiency. It does have a slight straightaway advantage over the Porsche but, the Porsche beats to many other places. At least with the new default settings.

When I tested the Sauber it seemed like it was down on power compared to the other cars but it seemed to drive the best, at least for me. It's hard to tell where you are losing lap time when you are the only car on track sometimes. I never checked but can lap times be loaded as a ghost from other cars you drive in time trial??

I ran Mercedes at the Nurburgring 24h for the practice race before the season started. I was thinking about going running the Mercedes. Along with straightaway speed. I felt it was losing out in slow corners on the GP course. The main reason I opted against running the Mercedes was because Le Mans No Chicane being on the schedule. Hard to ignore a straightaway that long.

Happy Earth Day everyone. Only 4 left the 2nd running of the 2 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. The World Sportscar Championship (WSC) Group C did make stops annual. Thought they did not run a 24 hours race. WSC did at one point run a 24 race at Spa but, stopped and reduced it to a standard 1,000 km. A few years prior to the beginning of the Group C era. So this is more of a what if race.

I will not be able to make the race at Spa. I have a celebration of life event I must attend. It's OK anyways, turns out I think I am off the pace a little, 2:03's are the best laps that I am running.

That stinks this is a big points race. Hopefully Boost shows up too score some points for Nissan.
That's ok I'm at best running 2:06's. Apparently I have not adapted well to either the new psychics, and or the new tire model. I farther off pace that I was last year. Even at places I consider myself good at. And I unfortunately don't know where I'm losing so much time.
Anyways enjoy your family activities.

Less than 13 hours until the lobby opens. I may open early if convenient and I have nothing better to do. I'm looking forward to a lot of laps at Spa-Francorchamps tonight. No only because our race but, Gran Turismo's World Series Nation's Cup race is also at Spa. I may still enter the last time slot after our race tonight. Should have plenty of practice by then. So you guys soon.
