Yeah, totally! Very close. Audi have been the underdog before, and I can't believe they kept Toyota within spitting distance, despite their troubles! Good race, though heard practically nothing about P2, GTEPro, GTEAm...lol...

Hmmm.... Interesting challenge, I'll try it out later though. But an impressive run, beaten a pro's time, congrats. 👍
And even though I missed the whole race
, Congratulations to Toyota on defeating the the Audis 
:tup:!!!!! I knew they would dominate Fuji!! Watch out Audi, you have a force to reckon with now.

Thanks. That was the most challenging to do as it seems like the Rear Downforce definately feels like it has more of an effect on handling then it did before, I had many times where I was close only to lose it in the last portion of the track (especially the final turn). I had to put together the perfect lap with as little wheelspin as possible.

Woooo! What a race, just caught the end there as I was watching F1 die down, but was keeping up on it since I was at work a while back. Toyota got their home win
Gonna try your challenge RaceCar!

We should do our own race! Take Pure's LMP1 Specs, GTPFIA GT Specs and ALMS LMP2 specs for a special 45-60 minute race!

Anywho, I'm a bit gutted for Aston Martin. They really ought to get at least one win before the season is out.

Not sure if the race will deserve its own thread or not, but for now I'll just leave the Test Day results here:

I recall reading that the test would cost somewhere between 8 and 14k USD. Many of the ELMS teams probably couldnt afford it, and I doubt Rebellion really feels that they need to test to keep up with the ALMS boys.
It seems the Viper was given a 20 kg weight break, and an adjustment of "+50" on the rear wing.

That price actually seems low for the class... I know for a fact that a race weekend on a RTR RSX Touring Car back in 2003 was 24K, that was arround 3-4.5 hrs of track time and a test on the Roar before the 24(Daytona) 4 years ago was 8K on a ST Cobalt so yeah, I'd say 8-14 shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary for the ALMS guys.

No prob, but yeah, the LMP/Group Cs can be a hassle with their massive wheelspin. But the use of throttle control and even using the decreasing speed to point the car into the right direction helps, especially on the tights and twisty corners.

It's kinda hard with the mid and high RPM turbos on these racing monsters, but with ease of using throttle control and keeping the car in check, does miracles on the track, definitely on the Nurburgring.
But I'm gonna try some new challenges with those cars with the 2.08 update soon.

It looks like one of those Prototype Lite things.
