Yeah, I managed a 9 minute lap with a small visit to the grass and not slaughtering the tyres so I reckon 20 laps will do it. Some people will be pitting after every lap so I have to think of 19 x pit stop time too.
Let me know what car you choose mate.

I'm sticking with the Aventador for sure, it's got so much grip, I can really attack the kerbs. There's a bit of understeer but that's a small price to pay considering i'll be on rails for three hours.

So is DL off or on mate? I was unsure while testing so I left it on to help me out.

driving line!!??

 

[berty1979]

Did you pick your cars yet?

 

[Spurgy 777]

Whats wrong with a driving line? its not like it helps you out seen as the racing line isnt really that hard to get and it always tells you to brake too early anyway lol.

 

[berty1979]

I can always see the racing line in my head, actually driving my car round it properly sometimes evades me
I expect going into hour 3 this will get worse.

I intend to run a few laps of each track tonight if anyone would like to join me.
New guys- Add me on PSN

What time were you thinking?

 

[berty1979]

About half seven mate ill message people as usual. (I just got to complete twisted metal )

 

[Loskey1]

not 100% sure I can race tonight but would definatly be up for some practice sessions tomorrow

 

[berty1979]

Thats cool mate, whenever you can make it.

 

[cgr-10]

Would like to let you know about a couple of developments. Firstly the event that was supposed to be happening during the Le Mans race has been moved by my mates to the date of the Spa race, and I'm going to help Mudd out and drive the #42 for Stewart-Ganassi in the Sprint Cup on the day of the Nurburgring GT race.

So I'll only be able to make the LMP race, put me down as a reserve and move somebody else up who can actually attend more than one.

I'll bring an Oreca 908 to the Le Mans race 👍

 

[berty1979]

Ok tom thanks for letting me know so early, I am not convinced everyone willl turn up or stay for the duration so ill keep you in on the LMP race.

Reminder to self
Add Loskeys choices-?
Change NB laps to 20 (lots of pit stops will be needed)
Tom- 908 team oreca can only make the lemans race

No worries, I'm glad I can at least make Le Mans as I really love the track and the car. What kinda time will that race run? Will it be split between light and darkness?

Nothing more exhilarating than thundering down the Mulsanne in the pitch black at 250mph

 

[berty1979]

Yes mate, the timer will be set so we have a day and a night at least with changeable weather thrown in
We tried it tonight with 6 cars and it was some awesome racing, key is to be careful as the penalties are really harsh and watch your tyres.
Looking forward to that one:tup:

Awesome with a capital A. Cannot wait

Don't know if you guys are watching the Rolex 24 from Daytona but right now I would sell my soul for a time change Daytona and an enduro in GT5. The racing is just brilliant.

 

[berty1979]

What channel or link?
Ill check it out.

 

[cgr-10]

It's on Eurosport 2 till just after 1 o'clock but after then you'd have to find an online stream. They're easy to find, type in 'Daytona 24 Live Stream' and you'll get tons of options 👍

 

[berty1979]

Cheers 👍

 

[Pagey279]

I was watching that, but I had to turn it off. Hearing those cars caused me to have a little accident......whoops some new boxers for me then

 

[berty1979]

can you give me a link I keep getting really annoying sites when I google it

 

[Pagey279]

http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-s...9-from-630am-edt/story-e6frf3z3-1226253141954

There is a link just below the video, click on it and it brings up another window, you can choose which camera you watch and stuff

 

[cgr-10]

This is a high quality stream by the looks of it:

http://www.justin.tv/besweeet2#/w/2526860560/4

EDIT: The one pagey posted is good if you want to see individual cars on board cameras. This link is the SPEED coverage direct from America, both are awesome

 

[berty1979]

Cheers 👍

 

[cgr-10]

I've just noticed on the stream I've posted that instead of showing adverts they're putting youtube racing crash videos on for 2 minutes at a time

 

[berty1979]

I tried Pageys first so I didnt see that, ill take a peek.
