"Praiano , what car do you have to Le Mans 30 minutes ?? fuel strategy ? thank you friend"
I did it with the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6) '09 - 700PP - Sport soft Tires or racing tires - All Around setting
-Racing Hard 4 laps consumption at 6 on dry track
-Pit Racing Hard no change full tank
-3 laps consumption at 3 ( 1/2 last lap full cons at 1)
Lap 5 and 6 with rain , very slowly , but the Corvette GR4 on rain tires can't reach my car. Last lap on dry track , full gas , i go away till the flag.
Sure there is other betters cars but i didn't test others yet.

In my opinion , no influence by wide body. Very few.HI.
Amazing tunes you're doing, thank you :-)
I'm wondering what influence has the wide body ?
Do you have any basic advices to tune by myself ? Like for suspension or differential i don't really have an idea of what i'm doing
To start tuning ? "Beyond the apex " in GT7 menu and a lot of practice , testing , reading , driving...... It's a long fantastic way.... For me.

@HyperSpeeder says 20 days ago that the RUF CTR3 '07 - 700PP - Racing Hard Tires - All Around setting was a good car for Le mans 30mn. I'll test it soon.
EDIT: Tested the RUF , waste too much gas. Can't do 1 stop.

I've used just about all of your 700pp tunes on Le Mans 30mins. I can say they are all capable. Take IM and Wets with you. FM 6 at all times. Some cars need some ultra early shifting and coasting to squeak out 3 laps.
You get major advantage over AI if rain already, or can see rain on furthest radar and change to IM tyres after 3 laps. You get to go faster lap time, and they stop again for IM/wets, then stop again for dry tyres if it dries enough lap 6.
If it rains no problem doing 2 stops. Dry race with 2 stops is harder, but can also work if the car is performant enough.

I do that Le Mans race a couple of times every day. Lately I've been using the C6 Corvette and find it very good overall. My other favourite is the Praiano tuned SRT Viper '06 using no rear wing but the tail spoiler. Figure that Portilla has lots of power but he has to drag around all that huge wing and front shovel. That stuff all costs in drag and so having a clean car really helps at Le Sarthe. It would appear that Portilla's top end is about 165 mph. The Corvette and the Viper can top out around 180 or so.
My strategy is to go pretty hard on the first lap, pass every one including McEwen and Portilla using 1,2,and 3 on the fuel map. After I get a nice buffer time of around 30 seconds I go to fuel at 6 and just keep my lead. Once you get out of sight its like the leaders lose interest and go into fuel saving mode. The secret of life in this race is around judgement of when to pit for rains. (tires) And I almost always go for the Heavy Wets, not the Intermediates. There is no real penalty for the heavy wets so why not use them? About 60 to 70% of the time you actually need the Wets. When the rain gauge gets up to 2 bars high, wets just keep on working.
A couple of days ago, I thought I would shadow the fast guys and see how they strategize their pit stops and tire choices. So, we are all cruising along, well head of the pack, McEwen leading and Portilla a close second, then me in the Vette and the ubiquitous Blazsan. So on the second lap, as we approach the pit lane with clouds and rain starting and more showing ahead on the radar, I expected the guys to dart into the pit lane for tires and fuel. But no, we all carried on, with me thinking that I would have pitted. Anyway about half way around the course, they should have filmed the comedy of all of our leader cars going frontwards, backwards, sideways, smashing into fences, each other, and generally playing bumper car!?!? We painfully limped into the pits and got fuel and tires. Oh, and all the cars with sport tires passed us all by, miles before the pit lane. None of us fast guys finished in the money!
So what I have noticed is that Portilla and his speedy compadres don't like rain tires. They will pit for fuel in the rain and take on Race hard tires?!?! Some of the time that works because of the downforce they have to squeeze out the water from under the tires, but when the rain level exceeds 2 bars on the meter, it becomes very hard to accelerate and around 54 mph is when the aquaplaning starts and you become an unguided missile. I found the corvette to be slightly better than their sleds in the heavy rain on Race Hards. If I pit for Wets and they don't, I will pick up a half of a lap buffer while they flounder! Or more!
So, my strategy is to get ahead, stay ahead, and be cautious when the rain starts. Get the tires, get the fuel, and stay far enough ahead to be able to pit ( for Race Hards) without dropping back in the pack when the track dries to just below 1 bar. In both the Vette and the Viper, I will use close to half a tank to get into the lead with a buffer, on the first lap. Then I can dial the fuel map back to 6 and cruise for range. I have found that the Vette can actually do 4 laps on a tank if the fuel map is at 6 the whole time. Which is pretty cool when you can faintly hear that blower whine most of the time. Thank you Praiano for such a cool car!
Cheers, Pete

You're right , yesterday i've tested the Audi TTS '14 - 700 PP - Racing hard tires - All around , very good car , it was a very rainy race , i did 2 stop , 4WD cars are still fast under rain comparing to AI cars.
I'll need the all day to read your very long post. It's very difficult for me due to aphasia. This will be my daily therapy , i'll answer you later.

The Audi TTS is my preferred car actually. With map 6 it can go 180mph easy. When the rain come , the 4WD cars can still maintain a good speed and pace. I haven't test heavy rain tires yet.
I use radar at max range and i go to pit when heavy rain is coming in my direction. Even if it's far away and i'm close to the pit entrance. 150 km rain away from you is on your head the next minute .....
Tokyo rain is always the same for every race. Le mans have a good randomization.
I've bought my F50 already so i'll take a break from Le mans and Tokyo for now , back on track for some news settings now.
Have a good day.

I want you to look at Toyota Supra GR Race Car '19 GR4 because I feel like after physics update the car feel really loose on the rear when breaking so I want you to check and see you should updated the tune or not

Yes , i want to buy it for sure , but i need 4.600.000 credits for it. It'll take some time.

Love the car and are managing to get the win, but struggling with the tyre saving to get the race times you have and the other guy who commented. Even with SM both front and rear I'm wearing the rears to the point where I have to be really careful not to lose the rear in the last few laps. How you managed it with SS and BB at 0 for 5 laps I've no idea. I'm in awe!

Be more gentle on the brake, but mostly just cruise around the corners.
Brake turn 1, cruise long s-turn, then brake for entry into short s-turn, cruise long right and sharp right into sharp left, brake for sharp right and cruise left, brake for last turn. With both mediums I didnt actually look at tyre management and with this amount of cruising there is no need to pit or set fuel into any lean setting. When you get it right the cruising goes over into slight acceleration but mainly just try to find the right speed for each turn and accelerate after leaving to avoid any wheelspin.

Yes , , need to take care for the last 2 laps, i'm almost sure the brake balance is totally broken in GT7. any extreme setting +5 or -5 are giving the same result. Just like compression / extention ... almmost no reaction. on the car's behaviors.
Anyway , need to be soft in the turns and braking 1 car to 1 car and a half from the braking point mark , the result is almost the same for performance but save some rear tires.
