I would love to drive any other car than the Z4, yet it is far more stable than the others for me. I tried the Audi, the Aston, Cadillac and the SLS... All of them were either too twitchy for me or at least two to three seconds slower (on a rather soft and stable setup) than the Z4 . :(

Maybe try my Bentley setup. It makes the Bentley very easy and comfy on most tracks.

The M3 is not allowed sorry. We make a clear line between GT3 and GTE cars here :)

Will add it in the OP :)

I am sorry :( :( But in the past we realised that the "GTE" cars are not well balanced to the GT3 class. Aston and Corvette are way too slow, the M3 has a tire wear advantage towards the other GT3 cars.

I never thought intermediates were even worth trying. The Softs hold on normally till wets are needed.

Tried the inters, but was quicker with the full wets, so what is the point in having infers. Light rain should be perfect for them.

So Miagi, thanks for the setup. I does indeed feel a lot nicer than what I had before.
Still I think I'll go with the Z4. I drove the Bentley for roughly half an hour in full race setup and my fastest overall time was 1:25.9, with the normal race pace being around 1:26.5 to 1:27.
My fastest time in the Beemer is a 1:23.6 and race pace hovers around 1:24.5 to 1:25.0. This difference is just too big for me.
Also I totaled the Bentley thrice in that half hour because when I loose it, it's gone for good and I can't catch it.

I'm doing low 1:24s, rarely below and only once did a 1:23 with low fuel.

That is part of the bumpy track characteristic. To me if something goes wrong with the AMG GT3, it goes wrong all the way. Huge spin out or nasty tank slappers are part of the characteristic of Brands Hatch.

So did a few laps earlier. I'll be in the Ruf, used to be a favourite of mine but not used it in a while. I'm firmly into the 1:23's with full fuel but I'm killing the tyres a bit. My setup is here: -

I think this will make it interesting with the weather. I did a couple of full runs against the AI using the race conditions and rain seemed to kick in around Lap 25.

The softs seem drive-able in the 1.23-1.24's range on a single stint well up to L25+ with the Z4, With the Mandatory pit window closing at lap 23 it looks like the weather is going to destroy any pit strategy.

I'm useless in the rain, what are peoples general wet pace ? AI @ 100% was putting in 1.28's but I'm really struggling around 1.30-1.31
