Question for @zer05ive, @Rednose58, @JLBowler:

How slow can a mid-division lap time be for the La Sarthe combo to stay at 3 laps? 4:15-4:20?

I would almost guess 4min would be the cap???. If it were to remain at 3laps ... If it goes to 2laps it could be a slower car

This is not meant as a shot at you but rather an, "I knew it would happen" kind of statement. Making an exception to get three laps with the Nissan just leads to someone wanting a bigger exception to be made for something else.

The limit is 4 minutes flat, not 4:00.001 or anything above that, to get three race laps. That is the official policy and can only be changed by the man himself, @zer05ive.

You want some help testing @msgt-sd I'm good around le mans and I'm a mid division!

I would imagine that he's asking because he has a car in mind but wants the 3 lap race (would be my preference too!)

Sort your cars by "date used" and they will always be close to the top

To all my Brother and Sister Snails -
Real Life has entered my world here in West Texas. And sad to say I'm going to slide my way off the track for an extended period of time. A night position has been offered - and was an offer I couldn't refuse.

Just wanted to say that the evenings I spent online with all of you were times that I will consider Priceless. Friendships, Laughter and learning to quietly deal with frustration (most of the time) is a summary of what I have been given and I appreciate it all.

God richly bless each of you in your Life, Enjoyments and Commitments. It has been my pleasure to be part of the best league online.

Maybe I'll visit some night when I'm not working.
Take care
Jack

I hope the McLaren stays. Last time we used it so was at Mid-Field and it lasted one week

Ah tex so glad and sad to hear that! I sure hope you come to visit you will be missed.

God damn I want to race but it's too late. I fear the noise would wake the 'rents.

No, we never used it officially at midfield, I tested it there against the TVR Tuscan, and the Tuscan stayed there for 3 weeks. It worked well there but the TVR had better racing in all divisions. I hope everyone can conquer it at LeSarthe, it's quite challenging.




On a different note, tips for anyone who wants them for the F1 at LeSarthe:

Brake at 230m or so for the Playstation chicane (well before the first brake marker board, 200m)
Also brake at 200m or sliiiightly before (if you have trouble) for the Michelin chicane and the right into Indianapolis.
At Mulsanne corner, brake 30m or so before the start of the yellow/blue curb on the inside. (or earlier if you have trouble). You will NEED to make sure the car is straight and stable when you start to brake or you will have a bad day.

Those four are the fastest/hardest braking zones and if you mess them up it gets ugly fast. This car will likely have more of the train/accordion effect than the GT500 car in brake zones.

If you're following someone closely and don't want to hit them, brake at the same time they do (or slightly before, but lift off the brake slightly sooner), not the same place unless you are trying to pass under braking (which can get risky but rewarding if you do it right).

I remember I was hoping for the F1, but the TVR was a very good choice there after driving it. Now the McLaren F1 in Project Cars.........that's a different animal! A little tip, do not make it one of the first cars you drive!

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Ah, that's right. It was a fun drive though. Wish it had a 6th gear and closer ratios but that was the early 90s for ya.

Hello, I would like to join the snail racing league. I previously posted that I wanted to and was told by someone to message Nail-27 via PSN but my friend request is still pending. I'm not sure if I did something wrong with trying to register or not. Could some one please steer me the right direction.

Thanks,

You will be missed Tex. You are an absolute gentleman and I, and many others, always enjoy racing with you. Being in my 50's you are great inspiration to me by proving that there is still plenty of time to continue enjoying mixing it up with the youngsters online!

Btw, I hope this isn't your boss.

I wouldn't like to think that you had to wake up with a horse's head in your bed before accepting the position which will keep you away from us!
