After OBS shitting itself for some reason, I recorded the other race with AMD ReLive. Sadly no TS sounds because I split Teamspeak into a different audio track allowing that to be cut off while video editing. Amazing pitstop exit at 20:16 (Link into my footage). Video has finished uploading, still needs to render though. I need to go to bed now, so no seperate video of that pitstop. Edit: Sarah I did that once in like lap 3 or so but decided thats too risky to try again.

I'm pretty happy that the back end of GT3 is pretty balanced. Being still in battles with up to 4 other drivers after 30 minutes of racing is really enjoyfull. Making less mistakes and having the better pit strategy helped me to get 5th in the second race opposed to last in the first race.
The speed difference to the better GTs is huge. This means it's even more important to communicate. I am used to look back who is approaching behind me, but the pace difference is so big that it's often just 2 corners between seeing/hearing noone behind to having someone shoot past you as a surprise. If you are in a battle yourself with someone of your own GT, this can get dangerous, if the faster GT driver expects that both slower GT drivers get out of the way for him. Since this is the challenge and fun of multiclass racing, I would prefer the MCEC rules instead of blue flags for everyone regarding lapping of slower GTs. The main reason is GT1 lapping of GT3 starts very early in the race and if you take the full blue flag rules seriously you can't race side-by-side through multiple corners when a faster GT driver is behind you, which is basically every lap after 20 minutes or even earlier.

Exactly. And furthermore the situation that you can't estimate what a lower car is going to do as a lapping driver often ends in unintentional blocking or even getting into an unforeseeable crash like I had yesterday and it cost me the lead

One of the most annoying things when lapped: I'm taking normal racing lines, then I follow the racing line to go to the outside, so the higher GTs can just take the inside line, easy overtake right? Well, some just want to speed through the outside line while I'm starting to use it, then at worst they spin me out and lots of accidents happen- Okay well fine, next time I'll just follow the racing line then, try being slightly slower and just keep following the inside line on the straight after a corner so some person doesn't spin me out again. Last time I used racing line to be on the outside, but since people just seem to take their chances at the outside line, I'll just stay on inside so they can overtake me on the outside on the straight. Oh, but now they keep bumping my back because they want to go overtake me using the inside line. Guys I have battles to do. Can the blue flag be just 'No active defending' like in MCEC? I use my horking as a signal. When I'm using it, it means I'm about to give them a great opportunity to pass me. Although I don't always notice the higher GTs (looking at map and behind me makes me lose concentraction) and they seem to honk when they are already passing, which makes me panic brake at times to avoid problems.
