My fuel gauge said that I needed 101 liters once I finally made it into the pits.
I was concentrating too much on my driving, in an effort to stay with @KingKlingeling , so I didn't check my fuel at all during the the beginning of the race.
I glanced at my tires a number of times (and they seemed ok), but never the fuel gauge. I think that I was thinking that I could make it to lap # 10 and then would pit (spliting the race in half), but I never verified how fast the fuel was running out of the tank!
Anyway, I had a great race driving with KingKling for the first eight laps:tup:
We had a great battle with @LongbowX for the first few laps until he got past us and slowly drove off into the distance.
See you at the track!

I knew you were on low fuel , because same car and same pace 👍
and after I drove into the pits and saw you flying by I could think about one word thats equal in english and german
( schadenfreude )
ok guys , I think I have an idea about the SCC !
What about If we were only allowed to use a car once !
I mean , no evos , no imprezas , no yellow birds and no elise's in the next event , for nobody of course
Next time , I guess we will see a lotus one make ! that would have been my choice due @LongbowX domination
if we do this, we will see a great variety of cars !
just an Idea and I wanna know what you are thinking about .
see you at the makeshift shuffle tomorrow

Nice idea @KingKlingeling 👍
Though, it might get a little limiting after a few races if no one could use a car that hadn't been run before by anyone.
How about adding a wrinkle to your idea:
You can drive any car as long as you personally haven't driven it before, with the exception that no one can pick a car that has previously won the race (to eliminate the chance that everyone other than @LongbowX would run the Lotus Elise 190
).Would this work?

I think there are tracks where the elise not dominate , though longbow will

Speaking only for myself, I have to say I like driving the cars I like to drive.
I don't find the idea that I can't drive a car I like, simply because I've already driven it, very appealing.

Maybe you could give us a PP range restriction based upon what track you select:
High speed track like La Sarthe or High Speed Ring: 490PP - 510PP
Fast track like Spa: 470PP - 490PP
Medium speed track like Grand Valley: 450PP - 470PP
Slower track like Autumn Ring: 430PP - 450PP
Low speed track like Autumn Mini Ring: 410PP - 430PP
Or something along these lines?
(with the exception that @LongbowX can run his Fiat Panda at La Sarthe if he wants to:tup

A combination class and PP limit would work, if you were thinking of changing it each week so we would end up in a variety of cars.
Vintage muscle would be good, but we could also just make up some classes:
Nissan Skyline week
Honda NSX week
Australian week
British week
FWD week
Japanese 80's week
Heavyweight week (over 1750kg)

Thanks guys, I think. I still feel a bit bad though.
The Elise 190 is great because it weighs nothing at all. It's 670kg, and since GT6 punishes weight when it comes to tire wear it's an excellent choice. Best not to push it too hard though.
I like themes, restricting cars...all of it really.
Substitute the Fiat Panda with the Mini Marcos and I'm there. Probably would never have to stop.

^^^Don't think the GT40 would be much good here so I don't care if someone uses it.
Has anyone else tried these cars on this track? I think it is going to be intensely fun. I've been able to do :29.xxx->:30.xxx in a range of cars while staying on the track. Fuel and maybe especially tires will be an issue. One or two or more stops depending on which car and the weight of your simulated right foot.

I tried several cars there and I found my favourite ( not the gt40 )
lap times are consistent and ,I guess ,fast ( clutch and h-pattern !
only problem left is the pit entry and exit
edit: I'm not in the grid in post #1
but I would love to drive this today 👍
