Really good racing guys, that went better than I hoped if I'm honest. :) So yeah, I was on for the class win before my fuel issues. Based on in-game information I calculated I'd need 96 litres, so I took 100. I was 5 litres short! Pretty sure that's the third time this has happened to me since the bloody patch. :p

From now on I'm taking a full tank for every race. :D
 
That was another fun one. I had to add fuel over what I was using in practice too. It cut the estimate down by a few laps. I was pushing a little harder then normal though. Was able to beat my PB a few times during the race. Found the limits of what the car would do. Realized I still need to practice my set ups. LOL

Very good race. I love endurance and multiclass. Wasn't sure how it would turn out during the overtakings though but all were very clean. My strategy of only changing 2 tires and no fuel seem to worked as I even was in the class lead at some point. But Ross and KO were much faster as well D.Manke so I was looking set for 4th place. I'm very happy with the 2nd. Unlucky Ross. I haven noticed a big advantage of fuelling tight in RR so tend to overfuel every time. Took full tank this time and had about 2/3 laps spare at the end.
Great event and turnout overall. I hope for more like this.

Haha, at 4 litres over what I thought I needed, I considered that over-fuelling. :p Also, if I'd actually *activated* refuelling when I realised I had a problem, I would have had an extra 10 litres and only lost 3-4 extra seconds on the pit stop. (I already changed all four tyres, so 30 seconds compared to 33 was nothing!) Ah well, you live and learn! :whistling:

What car were you driving Andre?
 
After I spun from the lead on the end of the first lap, I had some epic battles with David and Bart then kept pushing and made it back to 1st in GTR3 as everybody made their pitstops. Had to get past Bart again for second and then set off for Ross only a few seconds ahead, but I kept making silly mistakes and P2 cars were coming through so I wasn't making much progress...…..then he stopped for fuel.

I filled the tank full and had enough for another 2 or 3 laps.
 
This is the first time I have even ever heard of this track. Who ever thought to pair it with this class is an evil genius!
More evil than genius I tend to say - did several league seasons with DTM16 there and Hungaro is extremely demanding, technical and doesn't forgive the slightest mistake - I would like to put my beloved Capri out (as you need a more agile car at Hungaro), but something classical and more open would fit much better (Zolder, Norisring are classical G5/DRM venues for example).
