    They should swap it straight over no questions asked if it's that new, i went through 4 wheels in under 2 months before i got a reliable t300.. Annoying as to keep taking it back but make sure you do it.

    Seeing as the the f2004 is currently leading the vote for the next season car, I would be leaning more towards the gt3 at Bathurst or LMP1 at Spa. With @Rolz first choice being Bathurst enduro and this weekend has the Bathurst 12hr this seems a good fit for the Monday after. Not much point having a fun run in the season car the week before it starts.

    Of the 3 test servers up the least popular has been the LMP1 so that also shows the gt3 this fun run would be a good option.

    Hi All, back again after a few days away... yeah I think the GT3 at Bathurst will be a nice way to finish our fun run as there is the 12hr this weekend anyway.
    I'm leaning towards a 1hour enduro with one forced pit, it will be a pit for tire or fuel, but a forced pit... will see about fuel burn to make sure we all have to at least fill up.
    NOTE Can I please get a list of preferred cars? That way I can make sure there is enough for everyone on the night.
    I'd say use the list off Marty's server so you can practice with them...

    Season proper starts the Monday after I think so this will be the final fun run.

    People giving prefered cars is a good idea to ensure you can set more of some if they are more popular, grid limit at 36 gives us a bit of room. I havent got much of a chance to get on atm but may jump on later tonight for some running, I had set prac server to the forecast for the real race Sunday. Forecast may have changed a bit since then and you may have a different idea but may be worth setting prac server for intended weather as it has quite an effect on these cars.

    Some will work better on different compounds, I only tried the Porsche and couldnt get it to work on softs but others had no issues in the other cars. Over the race tyre choice may likely need a harder tyre and fuel loads cars may so vary a bit so forcing a stop may be a bit tricky.

    Personally I would rather a longer race like 1.5 hours if this means all need to stop over a 1hour race forcing all to mostly split the race into 2 30 minute runs.

    oh... I could also handle a 1.5hr race... :inlove:
    If no objections then perhaps we do that?
    Will be online tonight to get some prac in... it'll either be the porsche or merc, but I'm unsure which if my fav, the sls or merc-benz... they always confuse me...

    So no lmp then and just Bathurs gt3? Sounds fine by me.
    Also no issues with 1.5 hour race, would actually prefer that

    Porsche for me please. I am ok with the 1.5 hour race. Hopefully I can work out my Pit stop. The way I have been going, I may need a couple of repair stops anyway :) I lost 3 seconds a lap with a busted Front right Suspension. Those walls are hard!

    I will be either mclaren 650s or 911 will give the 911 another go later tonight and maybe try a long run in them.

    I set a second server last night with long 1.5hr qualy and 30min races if anyone wants to test some long runs with the other sprint server still running.

    I'll be jumping on there.
    Lets hope our "Endurance" race does not have the same finish as today's Bathurst 12 hour..

    Really looking forward to this one, love the idea of longer races where there are multiple viable race strategy’s and an incident somewhere doesn’t instantly mean race over
