You can save gas by using Manual Transmission instead of Automatic
Tested on Circuit de Spa (800pp) with the Subaru BRZ GT300 '21 at FM (Fuel) 1
Automatic got 5.5 laps
Manual transmission (and shifting at 50% RPM for sake of showing) got 6.3 laps


The Nissan Z 2023 has the same braking and traction control technology in the game as it does in real life
In slick road conditions, Vehicle Dynamic Control monitors steering and braking, and responds by reducing engine output and/or applying brake pressure to specific wheels. The traction control system helps to reduce tire spin. When it senses drive-wheel spin, it responds by reducing throttle or applying brake pressure to specific wheels

The BMW M6 GT3 Endurance Model '16 for the Nurburgring Circuit Experience is the one Kazunori Yamauchi raced in 2016
The car appears to be the #101, driven by Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi, Matias Henkola, Max Sandritter, and George Richardson, who finished the 2016 24 Hours of Nürburgring in 22nd place overall. This is reflected in the name it had in GT Sport, BMW M6 GT3 (Walkenhorst Motorsport) '16.

Not exactly a surprise, since automatic doesn't care about revs. Using manual you can save further fuel by shifting very early.

Most probably know this but if you put the RX7 13B engine into the Eunos Roadster or the Cappuccino, it still gives a hilariously irritating shift indicator beep.

We also have the AE86 speed chime, but it's very inaudible. That engine just roars louder.
