If they don’t, they will not receive any ‘buffs’ regardless of actual pace.
Been stress testing my strats, crunching numbers and I gotta make a few adjustments do accomodate for going by 100 laps not 110 laps.... but its not major.

It at the very least makes the extremely tricky final sector much more comfortable. The same can be said for the Lambo. The Z4’s weight drop will compensate for the overall lack of downforce it has in comparison to the other cars. These changes should make for a very close race in GT300, and help make the GT500 event a closer affair. @CaptainRisky21 and @xlxy90, what side of the grid would you both like to start from?
So despite running the BoP time with full fuel and plat ballast faster than the qualifying time you posted, the tyre wear on the NSX to do those times was ridiculous, so the weight drop is not so much ultimate pace related, but more for making the car competitive over the stint. Without it the NSX was going to stop inside 30 minutes if it wanted to run the GTR pace, or could run around well slower to do the same strategy. Either way it needed help.
@StigsTC pick ur side mate. I'm afraid I can't make it tonight, absolutely devastated. Was looking like a good race. No
Will the start resemble an actual Super GT round with the gap between GT500 and GT300 15 to 20 seconds?
Driver’s Briefing: Fuji 500KM Race Distance: 110 Laps Approximate GT300 Race Distance: 99-101 Laps Please read the following and ‘like’ once you have read and understood it. Room Name: 2019 RaceOnOz World Endurance Tour Round 5: Fuji 500KM Race 06:15 Fine Weather One Lap Test Race: 19:15 AEST Start Time: 19:30 AEST Racing Softs Tyre/Fuel Depletion: X1 RACE START PROCEDURE: The room host will set the grid based on the qualifying order. At approximately 19:15, the host must start a 1 lap test to ensure everyone can move off the grid with no issue. This can be done by changing the race type to Practice/Race. Prior to the race start, the host must double check the Power and Weight of each car matches those listed in the OP. The race will start in a side by side formation as per previous endurance events. The pole sitter will set the pace but the 1st lap must not take longer than 4 Minutes. Your speed must not exceed 140km/h during the formation lap. The pole sitter after rounding the final corner can choose when to hit the gas to start the race as long as it is before the start finish line. The race will go green at the start finish line regardless of the pole sitter’s actions. If you are silly enough to spin on the formation lap, you are allowed to regain your place, but tough luck if the race starts before you can do so... Note: The GT300 field must leave a small gap of around 100m to the GT500’s. NEW: 3 Strikes Rule In order to combat the issues in the last event, anyone who freezes on the grid will be given 2 more chances to get going via rejoining and resetting. If it takes more than 3 attempts, you will be excluded from the race however you will pick up a point for 16th place. TRACK LIMITS: As per our rules and regs drivers must keep 2 wheels on the ripple strips or white lines at all times. We all make a mistake or 2, but if you are caught "continually and obviously" running outside the track limits to gain advantage you risk being penalised post race by the Stewards Group. CONTACT: CONTACT IS TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL TIMES. If you make contact with the car in front and gain an advantage, you MUST give the place back at the next available opportunity. SWERVING: You are NOT permitted to swerve from side to side on the straights. Drivers may only change direction ONCE on corner entry. TURN 1 LAP 1: You can't win the race at turn 1, but you can certainly lose it. Take care into the first corner and leave plentiful space for other drivers, as this is the most risky part of the race. This is a very long race, so there should be no divebombs or ridiculous moves so early on. Heavy damage is on, so you will suffer the consequences if you are stupid. NUMBER BOARDS: It is a requirement that you place dedicated number boards (found in the OP) on your car in an easy to spot fashion. These are colour coded to clearly indicate entrant level, while the bottom square has been left white so you can edit it as you wish. Please ensure the number itself is clear to see. These boards are mandatory and failure to have them displayed on the car clearly will result in a Non Classification. Discretion may be applied under certain circumstances. PIT LINES: Use the pit lane lines as indicated. Do not charge into the pit lane as you risk damaging your ego and disrupting the race. Commit early to avoid potentially causing a serious accident. Stay within the lines, you may not cut the exit line AT ALL, otherwise you will receive a warning. For Maggiore, you are permitted to cut the dotted lines, but you must not cut the solid lines. BLUE FLAGS: Blue flag rules will apply as per usual, however GT300 drivers are under zero obligation to move over and let GT500 runners past. It is up to the GT500 driver to make a clean pass without making contact. HEALTH: Please empty your bladder before the race. We have a big enough break before the race to do so, we’ve all heard the degenerate stories of people pissing in bottles to continue playing, I really hope that doesn’t happen here! On the flipside, keep hydrated during the race with a bottle of water or energy drink, etc. If you have any questions, check the driver’s briefing, check the OP, then if that does not answer your questions, ask me here!
Also, please ensure you are friends with @VARDZ on PSN. In order to avoid the usual issues, could the following drivers please be the first ro enter the lobby: @Storm_SP17 @StigsTC @Viperzed @Zachery
