It might have been more appropriate to use the oldest possible layout of Le Mans for Tuesday,
but that particular version doesn't have the feature of being able to choose track time.

So I had to pick the 2013 layout because I'd like the race to start at sunrise and end at sunset.
I'll check what time progression number is needed for it to work with the twenty minutes endurace race that it is.

You'll be looking at a number around 36.

Thanks very much.

Hi guys, hi @JockeP22,
At first I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Patrick, from France and I joined recently the S.A.C.
I had thursday my very first "Casual Night" online race. What a fun!!!
I also joined the "BMW Z8 Club". Jocke was so kind and sent me an invitation for the upcoming Tribute races on Tuesday... So, here I am!...
Regarding the BMW Z8, I don't know this car at all. I'll have to practice a little by then, so please be patient with me...

Now I've got a few questions generally:

• What means "Tyres/Full set to very fast"
  
• What means "SM"? e. g. 510PP SM

Thats all for now and I'm looking forward to race with you...

Cheers and greets from France!

 

[SmileyWRX]

Hey Patrick hello.

Welcome to the fun factory

Dont worry about the car... pure joy

LOL! I didn't expect a "translation". I also know the google translator (BTW, very, very bad translator, but at least very funny translations... ). However thanx for the reply! 👍

No, I just meant the sense of the sentence/word. What should I understand?...

Under "Tyres set to very fast" I suppose that the use of "race soft" tyres is meant...?..

It means tyre wear is set to fast.

 

[IfAndOr]

I think Jocke means that the tyre and fuel usage will be set to very fast - the highest rate. Therefore your tyres will deteriorate a lot quicker than usual and will require a bit of management to last the entire race without changing them.

The tyre compound for both races is Sports Medium

I notice that he has set the PP limit to 505 for the one race and 510 for the other. A bit more power or a bit less weight - up to you.


The Z8 is a fun car to drive. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. 👍


Edit - has Aaroh say's

 

[JockeP22]

Thanks everyone for helping Patrick out. 👍

Patrick! You will like it here my friend cause these guys are PURE fun! Get to know them and you will understand why we like to race with each other all the time
As for the Z8 she is a beauty! Just watch out cause she is a hard babe to please sometimes

 

[IfAndOr]

Thanks everyone for helping Patrick out. 👍

No problem. Which way did he come in?

Just watch out cause she is a hard babe to please sometimes

Got to treat her with respect. Keep it polished. Take it out for a meal sometimes.

 

[buybon355]

Not been out in the Z8 for a while, looking forward to this jocke. Think it's time you stopped and bagging letting dusty win though, we all know you

 

[buybon355]

High maintenance lol

 

[MannYhAvitZ]

You are absolutely right

 

[IfAndOr]

Oh yes. I've had to buy all the correct "Z" cleaning range... (and there's more than 8!)

 

[o_OPaTricKO_o]

Thanks everyone for helping Patrick out. 👍

I agree, thank you all for you support!!!

@CTR Driver : You were right. These are exactly the French words that I could find in the "Event settings" window. I didn't know that. Please accept my apology for my misunderstanding...

@IfAndOr : Thanx for the detailed explanation. As written above, I found the "Event settings" window and now, I think all is clear. May the force be with you! and a little bit with me...
Oh, BTW, Manny brought me here...

@MannYhAvitZ : In fact, pretty girl and not that easy to tame... and nice butt BTW...

👍👍

 

[JockeP22]

Patrick, I name all my cars by female names.

And by the way guys THIS is how to treat the Z8.

 

[IfAndOr]

And by the way guys THIS is how to treat the Z8.

Very nice - how many days to clean!
But they don't show the part at the end of the film where the van reverses into it.

Beautiful girls Jocke, particularly Britney looks pretty naughty... Mmmmh, I like that...
In Persian Gulf countries is that also called a harem/polygamy...

 

[Zolon32]

Hi chaps, I love you all, you know that. But, I can't bring myself to race around Monza and Lemans in one night, not when there's paint to watch drying, grass to watch growing and pins to stick in my eyes. Good grief they are terrible tracks, in my humble opinion.

So, I'll keep my eyes peeled on what is in store next week, or perhaps through the week, and catch y'all on track soon.

Cheers, Zo.

 

[JockeP22]

Hi guys,
I'm Patrick, from France

@David Talle races here sometimes and he is a Frenchman too. So maybe we'll see a..

Monza and Lemans .. are terrible tracks

It's official, Zolon has gone crazy.
Terrible tracks.


By the way, the Z8 Club has now got a sister-club on it's hands. We'll see how that goes..

 

[David Talle]

Sacrebleu, long time I didn't race here ! I'm racing in the FGT Champ on Saturdays and I didn't have much time these days. I'll try to show up soon !

By the way, the Z8 Club has now got a sister-club on it's hands. We'll see how that goes..

So that's what the RAM thing few weeks ago was about ! Well done @MannYhAvitZ

 

[JockeP22]

By the way, the Z8 Club has now got a sister-club on it's hands. We'll see how that goes..

Clubs merged;

 

[polysmut]

Clubs merged;

That will help with the 8 clubs maximum limit. 👍

 

[IfAndOr]

It's been awhile, but all being well I'll be able to get the Z8 out of the garage and join in tonight. 👎👍 (There's no fingers crossed smilies!)

That's great Paul.

And how lovely to see my 'Cloud Strife' Z8 again (with the wipers on no less! ). I loved that car but it's gone now unfortunately.

 

[JockeP22]

The tribute races are on for today at 8pm GMT.
Four hours to go..
______________



For next Tuesday, February 3rd also at 8pm GMT there will be
another Turnaround race at the Nordschleife;

There will be six 507's available, five Z4's and five Z8's. All must be driven with those three pre-determined PP / BHP / KG-settings.
Those are the stock numbers from the dealership.

Other setups like transmission, wings etcetera is up to you, the only restrictions will be those three numbers above.

Damage will be light, tyres are set to Sports Medium across all three cars.
Otherwise realistic settings as usual.



This time there will likely be a heck of a lot more traffic than last time out when we all had DB9's.
Just remember to stay to the right when you see oncoming traffic ahead.
The race will see three different winners, one in each class of cars.


I know some drivers expressed an interest in this event already and picked cars ahead of time.
@buybon355 @Cu3e @gkgamer wanted the 507
@SmileyWRX wanted the Z4
@cgg wanted the Z8

Do you still want these cars, guys? Or change of heart?

EDIT:
The 507 has been given an extra 25PP (new number is 387).


The race is set up for 1 lap on the board but in reality we will be going for 3 laps.
Lap one and three will be the right way and lap two the wrong way.

How and where to turn around:

 

[SmileyWRX]

One Z4 for me please.

Thank you mr. Bond
