Great hint, thanks - the car's seriously fast here. RM / FM1 / pits after lap 6 ? Correct ? Did you use the mid range turbo ?
All in all - you named it - a pretty easy win. 👍

Didn't give it any more power, but same strategy as you ran. I would think if you run RH and FM3 or take it easy on RM you can run without pitting, not sure if the overall time is quicker though.

Not the most exciting set of races, but the cash is good. So yeah. I'm doing them but I'm taking my time.

Understatement…..

Thought we were getting an update this month??

Would you mind sharing your LM55 setup ( if you have one at all ) or even a couple laps replay ?
I'm driving my ass off but can't get remotely close to your lap times without the big turbo. No speed here but the will to learn !

Lake Louise should be easy for me as it just snowed here in Charleston SC (8 years since last time)

From a test session with tyre and fuel usage on, ran a 1:32.619 in the race just after but when I saved the clip of that it was literally 2 seconds long.

Thank you big time ... and congrats : great driving there. 👍👍
Will for sure have a couple more tries tomorrow.

Whoo boy! Has this been week. I decided to give Hard difficulty a try. These were not the cars to use for that...

Tsukuba - Nissan Fairlady Z 432 '69 - Upgraded the tires to CS so I'd have some grip. I couldn't quite catch the leader, in part because of stupid brake checks from the AI. Finished P2. Good enough for the first ticket.

Suzuka - TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00 - I upgraded to SS tires. This car is a handful. Weight transfer, body roll, and power oversteer. I did not enjoy driving it at all. I managed P3, but just barely. Second box checked.

Lake Louise - Suzuki Jimny XC '18 - Lots of upgrade on this Jimny. It made for an easy win, especially with the AI taking a sub-optimal line around T1. Second ticket obtained.

Spa - Lambourghini Countach LP400 '74 - Another untamed beast of a car. I left it stock, since it was already close to the PP limit. I was all over the place, but still managing to gain on the leaders, at least until I started drifting around Pouhon. Lost control and went straight into the wall. Still managed a disappointing P3. Fourth box checked.

Grand Valley - Nissan GT-R LM NISMO '15 - This car. It's just awful. I tried a no-stop on RM tires. Could only muster a P8 finish. Going to have to try again. Maybe with another car.
