If rain catches you in beginning, I managed two times to do full lap before ice skating begins .
 
Did anyone tried full scenario? When track will be dry again?
 
And what is this 144 min race? How this can even be set up ingame?

We will probably only do the GP track as “Formation lap” and start somewhere before or after the Veedol chicane (right before you enter the ring).

At least that’s what we did in the past :)

I've got to withdraw from this race, sadly.

@Stokemon, you're now in the main list so I hope you've been practicing.

Ah I just saw that I did not post a class to race: I would love to race in GT3

I did a few laps on Nordschleife with Ginetta GT4 to see how it is handling for "Cold day In Hell" ranked race, and I have noticed that no matter what tire pressure I set (from 1,48 down to 1,38) and camber from 2.2 to 3.5 I always get middle tire tempretaure slightly higher than inside. Am I missing something or what...?
If it is a few degrees difference between inside and middle I wouldn't bother to much. I'd focus on adjusting cold pressures to keep hot tyre pressures at around 1.8bars for the entire race. Don't focus too much on camber for temperatures, I adjusted them to optimize traction and cornering grip

You can start the server 10 minutes before the start of the qualification to check if I see it in the list?

How exactly do you adjust hot pressures correctly? I'm always having problems..
So let's say you are aiming for 1.8 bar..Cold tires are 1.5 bar and after few laps the tires heat up to 1.9 bar.
What do you do?
Do you need to lower the pressure to e.g. 1.4 (although in this way you're are getting more tire to road contact + more heat) or do you need to raise the pressure even more (to have less friction & contact with the road)?

We join the server already during the driver briefing so you should have time to check if you see it before quali :)

The first one. If you’re 0.1 bar above the hot pressure you’re aiming for subtract that from your cold pressures. Or maybe a bit less like 0.08 bar :)

I havent been able to really test the GT4s yet... are they a bit more ballanced now?
I know from a race a few months ago there was too much difference (it are many cars as well btw).

I probably grab back to my Dubai testing and pick one of the 2 cars that were best there (Porsche or Aston). KTM is too slow I guess on the straights.. love the downforce on that thing otherwise

Essentially, if you want to win, take the Ginetta.
If you want to have half a chance, take the Porsche (maybe Aston)
If you want to be frustrated, take anything else!

Not done any real testing, other than 1 wet lap in each, and it's fairly clear the balance is as it was.

That said, I'll probably take something silly.
Out of interest, in game the Ginetta shows as not having TC / ABS, where the others do... that correct for using 'real driver aids'? didn't test that.

Thx @AndrexUK!
I remember we started a race once me in the porsche and you in the Ford.. saying after 10 corners on the Nordschleife that was never going to work ;-).

If I have time, I'll test the Ginetta/Porsche/Aston a bit and hope they are somehow close to each other... and if most in the GT4 are taking the Ginetta, I definetely don't drive that ;-)
