    Round 3 finds us in sunny Florida (USA) on the well-acclaimed Sebring International Raceway! This track is well known for its less-than-ideal bump's especially the famous last turn hump that has been known to throw your car right into the outside wall if you don't get it just right:D
    This race marks the first of the non-DLC events. With the last of the DLC tracks behind us, the rest of the series will all be on default tracks, including a race into the night at Spa (round 4) as well as the final race at Le Mans, starting at night and finishing in the day! So, if you've been missing out because of the DLC, now is your chance to check out these amazing GT3 cars from 397. Remember, there are 2 free cars available, but you still need to download and install them! ;)
    We hope to see you all on the grid for the next 4 rounds! :)

    i asked chatgpt about official mustang rulebook and here are the results...

    Mustang GT3 Rulebook (Unofficial):
    1. Line choice is a suggestion.

    2. Grip is optional.

    3. Smoke = style points.

    4. If you're sideways and still in control, you're faster than the guy lifting early.

    I mean you're probably causing the guys behind to brake early, waiting for youre accident!

    Not had much time to practise but its a well used combo, will probably just use thje default setup anyway

    206s for me, I'm guessing the GT3 cars are a bit slower than the GTE cars then?

    Fun race, thanks for hosting. Weird, I ran out of fuel on the last lap but had 7% virtual energy left.

    In Q i tried that premade setup but with my wings and the newly found TC settings but it didnt work. And also suddenly everyone just went totally berserk! Damn! On perfect lap with racefuel my max is 2.02.9 but never done it. its combined sectors and allways some corner goes bad. Thats why i just like this track. So challenging, so rewarding.

    R Start easy, give room, hope nobody does anything silly. Luckily for me surrounded by awesome drivers and gentleman's award goes to @Lars Hagemann as basically he gave me double the room and managed to slip into 2nd because of that. I dont now how would it have ended if would landed at 3rd after 1st corners and 2 cars to pass and then atleast @Matej Dakskobler would have been there pressuring me. So this one wasnt pre-written at all.
    @Neil Tasker made his one mistake in final bend. You can do little here and there and would have not gotten pass. I was allready thinking that if he goes like that, im 2nd. Not even trying any silly stuff if dont have pace for it. But luckily again for me, one slip was at that bend and it does multiply so got to P1 and held it together till the end.

    Enjoyed racing, good stuff!

    Does Simhub work with LMU?
    FFB in LMU feels really great! Enjoyed this race, but me and Lars had just the same pace, from 1,2 - 2,2s behind for 45mins :D Must do 2 practice laps more next time :p

    I wondered what happened, did you start with 95% fuel or was that someone else ?

    ...simplest way i guess: set virtual engergy always to 100% on race start , calculate your fuel consumption for race (estimated laps x l/lap).. and set the fuel ratio to the amount you need... (example: 85 liters -> 0.85 ratio).
