Grand Prix 4: Hardcore Season: Round 17 - Suzuka

Meet Suzuka, one of the best, if not THE best track ever made.

This journey is coming to an end. With only one point between the two first drivers, the Championship will be decided during this final battle. And it should be a hard one: Fuchs needs to be ahead of Schumacher to get the title. If he can match the AI's pace through the race, he can't drive fast enough to win with the usual two stops strategy. So he's going to try his luck and test a one stopper. On. A. Twisty. Track.

Yes, we're trying to win with strategy. A first, but there's a start to everything. Unless there's rain... in which case our plans are void.

GP4 full season in hardcore mode:
100% distance race, with wheels and pedals, no assist, one take, AI set to Ace.
And because I like pain, I'm starting from the back of the grid.
