I never lifted. The only time I lifted was in the toe of the boot when I nearly ran into the back of some ****ing BMW driver.

So here's the breakdown for fuel/pit stop speculation for the 6 hours of Fuji this weekend. This is based on yesterday's free practice with teams doing full tank runs.

Audi #1: 35 laps with an average lap time of 1m 29.988s
Audi #2: 36 laps with an average lap time of 1m 30.782s
Toyota #7: 32 laps with an average lap time of 1m 30.437s

An average of 34 laps/tank is needed for no more thank 6 pit stops. Toyota loses in file mileage, but Audi has a problem with their tire wear. Let's discuss bench racers.

So not only is the Toyota slower, it gets worse fuel economy too..

Glad to hear someone is still using the track, I kinda thought Toyota just shut err down. Part of me wishes the Japanese GP was still shared between the two sites, although overall I prefer Suzuka overall.

Where is this being streamed and at what time?

Saturday night, around 11 or so our time. live.fiawec.com. Audi also has a livestream of both their cars' onboard camera. Lap for lap, Audi definitely has a huge advantage in time and top speed (5-6kph). The last 3 races, however, Toyota has had better pace. Toyota DNF the last race in Bahrain due to a faulty number panel but lead for most of the race.

I didn't like it all that much when they raced there, but now I kinda miss it.

I love the old Fuji, 80's style from GT3.
