I'm going to attempt some mock runs tonight after X-Factor.

I've found the last corner through the S really tricky to get right, think a lot of time can be made or lost through there.
Has anyone got replay of a quick lap round here they can share? Would be of great help as I've never driven here before and I'm struggling to get near the 48's?.

Forget that. The real question is whether he can actually run that pace during the race, and actually... gasp! Challenge Tony!Nice time CSL 👍 Now can he run that in qualifying?

Anyone know if the GTR is good or bad on tires? I working out how "safe" I should make my race tune in regards to tires.

He did the time after 39 laps and very low fuel, but still an amazing time of course. And all of the cars are virtually the same with regards to wear. The only difference is between some cars wearing down rears or fronts more.

Everyone would have answered with a resounding "yes" before the HSV came out, so I'd say yes. It's a fraction worse than the HSV's, but better than every other car.
I'd say it depends on your strategy though, a 1 stopper needs to save tires a bit, 2 stoppers wont have to save tires at all.
I ran mid-high 48's and low 49's to lap 15, low 50's by lap 21, needed 60L to fill after half the race distance. Gained about .5 from low fuel. Ran a couple laps on low fuel with decent-sized mistakes for 48.5's before nailing one down.
And it was lap 27 I got it on Ed, drove around to 29, had roughly 1/4 tank for the lap.
X-Factor joke I think.

I'm losing the rears more, but because of the amount of fuel needed to finish, I'd figure a two-stopper is the best route. Eat that rubber to your heart's content. 👍

X-Factor dude! It's the anti-christ ;-)

I would like to try for a 1 stop race but it sounds like a "Nope".

Eh, I already know who's going to win it.
Anyway, did a bunch of mock qualifying runs tonight. Crazy how a great car at Spa is complete junk at Motegi, even though the tracks are pretty similar.
Only managed a 1:48.8xx as a best. The car absolutely hates Turn 1, and it 'ok' everywhere else. If I manage to qualify within a couple tenths of that I'll be shocked.

Don't think anyone likes T1. From what I've seen, no one attacks it the same way.
BTW, if you're running 48s on your 2nd flier, you should be good. Motegi's a track where the tires take their time warming up.
On a side note, fattest drivers on Earth? I'm around 180 pounds, so that must give me a competitive advantage.

Fattest? haha, no, fastest 
Maybe you should eat more though, 'cause you is seeing tings rudeboi
I decided to upload a video since I was really happy being able to practice offline finally! Hit a bunch of good laps with a pb of 1:48.523 after nailing turn one and my problem corner from GT Academy, turn 9 'V-Curve', that tricky left right before the backstraight hairpin.
Using the ghost helped me see where I was going wrong more easily too, and telemetry's super nifty as well. I was braking too early into T1, I should've been braking nice and late in between the 100M and 50M boards for optimal slicing. Carries nice speed and allows for better exit speed as opposed to my more choppy double-apex approach I tried before.
Here's the onboard:
