After the race the oil was bad, engine and rigidity down to yellow, performance down to 685 HP from 710 HP. It cost more to restore the car than the earnings from the race, net loss 85K. GT7 Pay to play!

The AI is 'entertaining'. The one that should have provided competition, the TS050, rear ended me once but was a lame duck most of the race.

Surprisingly the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Coupe '54 gave the best race when he was already a dozen laps down. At 35 minutes into the video he suddenly shows up from behind and races through the field, with me trying to catch him.

All the crashes, passes, pit stops and beautiful vistas are in the video. The hardest part was continuing in the morning with too little sleep. I drove the first 6 hours on a Friday night, then made a bit of a mess of things on Saturday with lack of sleep. Much respect to those who can do the real thing!
