One final note, the time spreads looks as follows:
Fast DP's: 1:14
My DP: 1:15
Fast GTE's: 1:17
Avg GTE's: 1:18-1:19
Fast GT3's: 1:19
My GT3: 1:20
It's a pretty tight spread across the field, and I've seen a few DP's running 1:18's, and one DP has joined each of my hosted sessions and run 1:21's, which is a huge FeelsBadMan...
Some GTE's are running 1:21's, as well.
Bottom line, traffic is going to be difficult this race! Make sure to focus on where each car is better. GT3 is going to be best in the corner, even out-broke a GTE car that was trying to pass me on the straight but didn't have the top speed to pull it off. There is nothing to gain from doing that, and a whole lot of fuel can be saved from coasting down the hill and letting the faster car get past. DP's shouldn't have that problem with either GT cars.
All GT's; Try to be very forgiving with faster cars in T1 and T3, as it is near impossible to pass again until exit of T5.
DP/GTE; Do not pass slower cars into T5 or T6, or dive-bomb T7 or T10. Instead focus on beating them on the exit of T5, T7, and T10a..
