I've now failed the 30 Minutes of Le Mans (WTC 700) twice, and I'm trying to understand what I should have done differently.

First attempt: I got caught out by the rain because I didn't own Intermediate tyres.

Second attempt:

Ferrari 296 GTB tuned to 698.43 PP

Racing Medium start

Fuel Map mostly 4–6

Pitted with 16% fuel left

Switched to Intermediate tyres because the weather radar turned blue right after I exited the pits, but the rain never became heavy enough to justify them.

Switched back to Racing Medium later.

Then... I miscalculated my fuel and ran out with about 1 minute left in the race. 😭

For those of you who regularly farm this event:

What's your fuel strategy?

When do you decide to switch to Intermediate tyres? Do you rely on the radar or the surface water gauge?

Do you always refuel fully, or just enough to reach the finish?

I'd really appreciate any advice from experienced Le Mans runners.

I unlocked the Nürburgring track today and took some runs in my Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

Currently, my PB on this track sits at 7:13.061.

Any advice or suggestions? Experts?
