AIWJT Le Mans Series Season 1

It looks like I'm in with the M3. It sure would be nice if they shortened it. At the pace we ran in practice last night it will be a 6 hour event......

I honestly don't think I'll be able to run that long. I'll give it my best shot but...

I too have great concerns about the length of the race.

Professional drivers don't run that long. Or do they? Pretty sure they switch around 2 - 3 hours of seat time.

A 2.5 hour race would be much better. 6 hours with only 3 cars in your class is a bit on the crazy side.

I agree. I like the concept but I think we should bail unless the race is shortened by at least half. We were running 2:25-2:27's. even with maybe F1 cars in the mix the race will take at least 5 hours.

This is why we need driver swaps / teams. Should happen in the near future with race games.

We can put one together with our group. 2 or 3 classes and a 2 hour race.

Yes MX-5 practice tonight. 9:30 eastern my lounge

Just re-read ALLin's original post, thought you guys were running that race tonight.

That would be a better idea. 2 hours and 3 classes. LMP, Super GT and maybe Roadster TC class.

I'm in hopes that RESH will reduce laps. 2.5 is all I would really WANT to do.

 

[bermudakid]

Ill be with you guys in spirit. But anything over 1.5 hours in GT5 is no go from me.

 

[Com Fox]

You guys seem to have issues with the race,
unfortunately I can only go 300-1000km less then that would make it to quick.

I love the idea and it was real close racing in practice last night.

Just doing some quick math the race would need to be cut down to 60 laps to hit 2.5 hours at our pace. That's 263.4 miles or 423.9 km. We can't ask you to change your race length, we're just thinking out loud.

 

[Com Fox]

I could call it Cape Ring 424km

 

[AllinWitJT]

BK is not down beyond 1.5. So it's a no go. Unless Dangit steps for a 2.5.

 

[E46Envy]

Yeah, isn't as catchy.

 

[AllinWitJT]

Maybe we I should change my league name to AIWJTTOTREC.
AllinWitJTtooOldToraceEndurosCrew.

 

[Com Fox]

Also if you want to talk about tne Cape Ring 424km please come to the exact thread.

 

[AllinWitJT]

BK check Cape Ring thread. 424 laps now. You Allin or what?

 

[Com Fox]

It is 424km not 424 laps.

 

[AllinWitJT]

It is 424km not 424 laps.

Ha. Oops. Thanks.

 

[AllinWitJT]

BK. Good job winning out this series. I lost the points sheet Envy sent me. I'll pick you up something at Laguna in May.
