Make sure to not pick the Le Mans or WEC engine mapping in tuning, you want the IMSA or whatever one. It's more reliable and has more power.

Well, the 787B has been overdone after the update so its performance far exceeds what it should actually do. In a short track with little 100% throttle it's probably the best car available in this mod.

I meant the semi-automatic paddle option specifically. You keep your foot planted and it shifts seamlessly like a modern car. On the manual paddle option you have to lift on upshifts. Too early back on the gas and clutch is not engaged - have to lift again. Easy to lose time. I'm 2-3 seconds slower using the manual paddle option, but getting better with practice.

The semi-automatic is way easier and faster. No need to lift, no fear of messing shifts. Just concentrate on braking and accelerating, like you said. Too much of an unfair advantage compared to H-shifting I think. I'll race with the manual paddles and no assists.

Good racing guys. I enjoyed driving this car. We had a lot of good close battles even though the turnout wasn't the greatest.

Didn't quite get the best out myself in the quali but I was still surprised how good pace I had in the race. It was mine to take but few stupid mistakes cost it for me in the end. Forgot to bring water, I was all sweaty and my tyres weren't that grippy anymore in the end so this was the result.

I was using sequential and "paddles full manual" from the tuning options in case someone is wondering. I missed quite a lot shifts during the race.

I'm sure these experiments we had during off-season will help us in coming better drivers and getting faster with GT cars also.

See you next week!
