1. usually 10 and 20 (2 stops for 30 laps in total).
you can delay the stop by 1 or 2 laps depending on how good your tyres are.
-> leading to
2. only refill as much fuel as you need for your next stop, less weight means better laptimes.
depending on your driving style you may want to have a bit extra if you know you need to have some overtaking action which can make you use more fuel.

Guys, i advise you to try this race with the newly added AMG. I never even tried it because of this thread. Today i thought i could try some laps to see what times are possible for me and how the AI feels.
I ended up unintendedly finishing the race. 9 seconds in front of Fraga and 30 seconds in front of Rubilar. Would have also won if Rubilar hadn't pitted a third time. Did a 2-stopper with FM1 and RM tires. Tires are good at 7 to 8 out of 10 laps of every stint, then they start to degrade.
As it was learning by doing, some laps where more than 2 minutes. Best was 1:57:???, normal where 1:58 and 1:59. I overtook Rubilar in the second or third lap and in the first and second stint he passed me 2 or three times due to my mistakes. I alway got back in front relatively easy as the AI is pretty slow in the middle sectors, beginning with the weird, upwards right, through the fast left, right, left up to the 180 degree right. Always take the inside line and push him out a little. Rubilar seemed to get frustrated as he pittet in lap 8, then 18, then 29.
I find it's such an amazing race. A shame that you only get paid once.

Mite try auto .
Had a go last night in the new merc .
1:58 fastest n a few of them but far to many 2:00 laps ... cant really tell how I was going to finish as lap 26 I was 6th
Fighting with 5th place and slow moving traffic corvette we closed on decided 5mph safest bet for the next bend and ploughed in the back of him urghhh .
I can see where it is am losing time , not the last corner but the two before that .... long sweeping S's that I just can't fathom.. to fast or to slow

I'm about to attempt this. I've got gold fairly comfortably 1st try on all the others, but I'm not great with Gr3 cars. I'm wondering if anyone here could tell me which of my current cars is best/easiest/fastest to take?
1984 Skyline Silhouette
Supra GT500
NSX Gr.3
Corvette Gr.3
RX Vision Gr.3
R8 LMS Evo
I'm kinda tempted by the Skyline just because it runs such low weight with BOP, thinking it'll be better on tyres and fuel?
EDIT: I tried the Skyline and it performed miserably. Tyre wear wasn't great, and turbo lag destroyed performance, gave up after 1 lap. I then tried the RX Vision, attempting a RH strategy, but it was simply too slow, and couldn't make it far enough to try a 1-stop strategy, gave up on lap 12. I ended up easily winning in the Corvette, throwing on RM tyres and going balls to the wall on outright pace. Weirdly, it's faster when you short-shift, which also makes it better on fuel, and quite easily managed about 13 laps on FM1, but the RM tyres only just last 10 or 11 laps. With a 2-stop strategy, I caught the M6 GT3 on about lap 26, comfortably passed and maintained a 5 second lead until the end. I rather like the Corvette... hated the race though!

Maybe if I had gone for a 2-stop RM strategy, I might have done better with the RX, but the Corvette had more straight-line speed which I felt could make up a little bit for any mistakes I made in the corners, plus with short-shifting, the Vette was actually better on fuel.
Shame about the Skyline, I really like the car - I wish the BOP was actually balanced (unless it's just a one-off track where it's not competitive)

My strategy on this race: skip it and go to Spa to learn to drive with no assists at all. I did try it in the Super Silhouette and a Ford GT, AI left me like I was on blocks.
Lake Mags is a difficult track for me. I am going to cruise it some, though, once I get the last seven cars and get a few upgrades done. That's help me learn it and BoP won't be a problem then. I've mastered Spa, Sardegna, Le Mans, Fuji, Tokyo East, Big Willow, and the oval courses with no physical assists, Mags is possible too.

I had my best drive on RM tyres, pit on lap 10 and 20. Fuel map 1 all the way, short shift a bit to save fuel, then pit stops are shorter because you only need 10 laps of fuel to get to the next stop. Braking points are pretty difficult but there's a channel called Unleashed Drivers on youtube that does a pretty helpful guide of the lap and where the braking points are. Maybe traction control might help with consistency?

I am also preparing for Lago at this moment. After relatively easy the other human comedy races, this one seems to be quite hard and i need to practice a bit. I've read carefully all the comments and as for TC I can understand to keep it as low as possible (preferable don't use it at all), but for ABS I don't quite understand the point to switched it off. Can somebody experienced explain a bit nature of this practice? ABS prevents from blocking the wheels and from degradating the tyres by sliding while blocked and increasing the braking distance by that. In reality (long time ago during safe driving practices) I was learned that in the car without ABS you have to somehow pump the brakes instead of keeping them hard to the floor for safe brake and against blocking. Basicly the same ABS does, so why should I limit it? I know that we are racing here but does it really make a difference and if yes, it does in game or in reality or both?

It is not "pump" but instead finding the absolute right point of braking before the tyres lock for the best braking performance.
ABS does not find this point but always overshoots it and then releases the brakes for just a short moment to then reapply them and releasing again until you stop applying brake input.
I managed to gold this with Porsche 911 RSR, 2 stop strategy with RM tires, TC1 and full send. This car felt really stable and better than AMG '20 I tried before. My lap times were around 1:58 to 1:59 and fastest lap 1:57.4 while slipstreaming a fast AI car.
I won only by 6 seconds and I feel like it helps that AI cars are really poor at overtaking and Rubilar etc. get stuck behind slower cars and even behind backmarkers at the end of the race.
Overall this was a fun experience and with my pace there was no room for mistakes and it really feels like real racing with tyre degradation and fueling.

I noticed this too. What I think is going on is at speed you have more downforce, thus more grip. When the car slows, downforce drops, so does grip, and the tires begin to skid unless you reduce braking. Usually only the front tires skid, so possibly you could move brake bias to the rear if allowed or even blip the throttle if not, thus transferring weight to the back where braking is stronger with the front tires skidding.

Someone willing to share some vids? I can only got 1'59 at best with RM and full power in every single Gr.3 car, usually a 2'01. Dunno where's the problem. Don't do online races, gold on all other missions. Gold on this track

It's only a matter of skills and patience to lap in 1:58. I'm still in bronze here because I'm not enough regular
This is not a race for pro or aliens, this is the hardest mission and it helps to improve our driving skills.

Man this is literally the most challenging thing I do this year. I shall try it moreIt's only a matter of skills and patience to lap in 1:58. I'm still in bronze here because I'm not enough regular

To me it is the most interesting race to do offline.
Havent touch GT7 for a while now, but I was trying to finish with 31 laps which basically means doing around 1.56 consistently, I was only 7 seconds shy of that goal.

For raw stats, I suggest having a look here:
Outside of that what you can see there, you have to try yourself if a cars handling is matching you, and all of the cars have different tyrewear and slightly different fuelconsumption.
