I was told the GT one. But it does say in the OP that its the F track....
Soooo.... 1:40's at Fuji F? I'd be like 5 seconds behind in that case.....

1:40's must be at Fuji GT, grazbo did 1:51's at Daytona and 1:40-1:41 at Fuji....
Given I did 1:49's at Daytona in testing and low 1:40, possible 1:39's at Fuji GT, he must be talking GT, not F....

I have the big 2 to go aswell. Given the Mazda Furai is clocking 3:35's with TC on and RSF/RMR setup, I might have a chance to win it. The TC is only down to rain, given that I don't really wanna be fighting the car more than I need to. It'll be hard enough as it is...
@cnd: Good news there! So 1:44's at Fuji F perhaps?

Yeah just to clarify I was running 1:41's in the audi on the version without the chicane. Although I'm sure i could get close to 1:41's with the chicane if i spend some more time adjusting the setup.

I was roughly doing 1:51's but I was using the Evora.

I may have been setting my goals a tad too high 
I've only tested without the chicane so i'm only guessing. If anyone fancies testing let me know and i'll join.

There's a 3-4 second difference between the GT and F layout for Fuji. Depending on the car.

Per my observations at Daytona.
I think the Audi is the one to beat. It was putting out faster lap times than I was at Daytona. Tire wear was even for the Audi also. Only downfall is straight line speed.
Mazda and Lotus are super fast down the straights. It was hard to shake them off and get any kind of distance between them and me. I was only able to pull away once mistakes were made and they were in battles with other cars.
Didnt get a chance to really race against the Camaro. I managed to lap it before it dropped out of the race. I still think it can be fast though.

The order even with the changes is roughly, Lotus, Ferrari, Audi, Mazda, Camaro. (Imo anyway)

1:40.xxx's-1.42.xxx's as the tires wear on Fuji F. 1:50.xxx's-1:52.xxx's as the tires wear on Daytona Road Course. Both tracks using RM tires.
I know that Camaro has the HP, so I am working on the trans to get more top end. Surprisingly, it handles like a dream, due to my Crew Chief doing the R&D on the setup!

In testing at Suzuka I found the order was slightly different:
Lotus (Prior to specs change)
Camaro
Ferrari
Audi
Mazda
So at Fuji F, you're getting 1:40's? I'm doubting this somehow, given we've definitely slowed the cars from S2 and with Softs the old specs ran 1:40's...

If I'm not mistaken; Fuji F is the Formula 1 / Formula Nippon option, and Fuji GT is the Super GT option. The Super GT would more than likely remove that chicane as contact is more likely to happen than in the formula races. Hence:
Fuji F - Chicane
Fuji GT - No Chicane
Fuji F - Chicane
Fuji GT - No Chicane

Well either way, at Fuji F I'm at a reasonable 1:43.5 right now as my personal best in the Mazda. I don't like this track, mind you.
