Wk42 MidWeek Meta Part 1 - Will Spec IV Change the GT7 Meta?

Spec IV (1.72) lands tomorrow, so this week I'm running TWO MidWeekMeta videos. This is the "before" snapshot: Daily B and Daily C, captured this morning from every recorded entry on the official leaderboards. In a few days I'll grab the same numbers again and see what the patch actually did to the meta... if anything. DAILY RACE B (Gr.3) · Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps Top 100 ......... 73.0% Hyundai Genesis Gr.3 Top 1,000 ....... 63.8% Hyundai Genesis Gr.3 Top 10,000 ...... 54.5% Hyundai Genesis Gr.3 (36 cars in total) The Jaguar F-type Gr.3 is a clear second (20.2% of the top 10,000), then the Ferrari 296 GT3 '23 on 12.2%. DAILY RACE C (Gr.4) · Sardegna - Road Track - B Top 100 ......... 100% Hyundai Elantra N TC '24 Top 1,000 ....... 99.9% Hyundai Elantra N TC '24 Top 10,000 ...... 98.1% Hyundai Elantra N TC '24 (13 cars in total) Even with fuel x2, tyre wear x5 and a mandatory pit stop, it's still the Elantra. CHAPTERS (approximate, update after editing) 00:00 It's not Thursday: why I'm early 00:30 The plan: before and after Spec IV 01:02 Daily B setup: Spa, Gr.3 01:18 Daily B meta: the Genesis 02:11 Daily B by driver rating 03:00 Daily C setup: Sardegna, Gr.4 03:30 Daily C meta: the Elantra again 04:03 Daily C by driver rating 03:45 Zooming out: Gr.3 vs Gr.4 05:10 The before and after tracker 05:28 What to watch out for 05:53 Over to you METHOD All figures come from the official GT7 Daily Race leaderboards, captured and stored per event. The race slides use the full top 10,000 and were captured on Wednesday 14 October at 09:23, before Spec IV. Mid-week numbers can still move as more drivers set laps, so I'm looking for big changes rather than small ones. The rating-band slides show each car's share within that band.
