It is easy to imagine that there would be no arguments which would be perceived as reasonable and convincing reasons to tie up a shared family resource for several days. (Even explaining to mother exactly what was going on might be difficult, too).

Is obtaining your own personal PS2 out of the question? (That still might not stop the mother turning off).

The Mille Miglia can be saved mid-series, can't it? The other 1000 miles races can conceivably be done in a single sitting, e.g. 9pm to 5am or something like that.

 

[Austin343]

Yup, you've got it. I have not yet explained wanting to do these races to my parents, but on my first time through when I did the enduros in B-Spec, and explained that some people () did the whole things themselves, they were incredulous that anyone could stand to do that and seemed to think they were a bit out of their minds. Not saying I agree with them, mind you, but it would be more than a bit awkward to tell them I was one of "those people"! Actually, I think it would all be much easier if my sister weren't one of those people who play on it fairly infrequently, but regularly enough that I can't fit in a whole 24 hour race without her trying to play Kingdom Hearts. I already annoyed her enough this summer doing each 1000 Miles race individually, and my parents wouldn't be terribly happy if she complained about that again... And no, another PS2 is not going to happen, unfortunately.

If I manage to find a time when she gets bored with all her games, maybe I can do an hour a day and many hours per weekend to finish in two weeks. More than that isn't really reasonable because of schoolwork, and doing it over a vacation doesn't work either, because then she wants to play every day to fight the boredom.

Oh, and honestly, the biggest reason is that they already think I play too much PS2, and 72 hours of driving in huge inconvenient chunks wouldn't exactly impress them.

Shelby Series 1 Super Charged '03 (~350 miles, Oil Changed just before race (I think))

Vs. Lineup #1 (NTSC/USA, Start_Finish)
1_6 Pontiac GTO 5.7 Coupe '04
2_5 Chevrolet Camaro SS '00
3_3 Saleen S7 '02
4_2 Ford GT '05
5_4 Shelby Series 1 Super Charged '03

Mods: R1, R2, Nitrous, Sports Suspension, Full Custom Tranny, 3ple Clutch, Racing Flywheel, Carbon Driveshaft
Settings: Started R1/R1, R2/R2 after first pit (end of lap 24); Nitrous @ 20; 105/105 RdHt, 7/7 Shocks, 1.0/0.5 Camber; Auto 12 Gearing; Aids 000; 20 Ballast @ 0

This race started as a test run and after my 2nd stint (around lap 35), I decided to complete it. Unfortunately, I didn't keep track of how much SettingsHP was displayed when I started, but I ended with 339. I'm pretty sure I changed the oil before I started, but I"m not certain.

Anyway, I was off track for the first couple of laps before I got used to this car/track combo, and blew the bottle early to keep up. After switching to R2/R2 after the first pit (end of Lap 24 or so), I exited with a 10 second deficit to the Ford GT. I eventually reeled it in, improving from the 1'30/1'31s to around 1'28. From there, it really wasn't much of a problem at all.

There were plenty of detrimental offs, but nothing like the corner-cutting and dune buggying you might've seen from me before. I still managed to put the GT down a lap by the end. For next time (my "no fun, reset junkie" gamesave), I'll use a lower Auto setting for the gears for better acceleration (I never got into 6th), and take the camber down a couple of ticks.
...

I also tested this car at the GV300. I haven't won it, but it looks like Lineup #3 is beatable for 200 points (adding NA1, Racing Muffler, and a Chip, 0 Ballast)... I'll have a video and more details later.

Have A Great Drive!

[Austin343]

If anyone wants an interesting 24 hour race in the same vein as the Cien at Sarthe II, I've found a good candidate for Sarthe I: the Nissan R390 GT1 "Road Car." Fully modified, it cranks out about 825HP at only about 1040kg. But that's not the key: it's oozing downforce even in stock form, at 40/55, but when you add a wing, it comes out to a whopping 70/85! To put that in perspective, a Group C like the R92CP has a maximum of 63/88, and even the FGT has "only" 75 units of front downforce. Unlike the Cien, however, which is very well set up at default suspension settings, this car is clearly not set up for 800+ HP and likes to snap around under braking. Some deft suspension tuning would most certainly cure that, though, and I think it has easily enough speed to win Sarthe 1. By the way, as I posted in the Stock Car thread already, it's also capable of a stock win with S1 tires (!) at Nurburgring 24 hours, provided you find an ideal lineup.

The only problem I see right now with these two unusual entries is chassis twisting over the last half of the race. I don't know how wayward they'll become after 2000 miles, but they seem fast enough to compensate for that in the first half when they're still handling better than a 200 mph ice cream van.

 

[mcsqueegy]

I'll join the crazy club... I know a good (albeit barely good enough) car choice for GV300. The Lotus Elan . Fully tuned of course, and its cornering is marvellous. But seriously, if you have a weak lineup, and you are able to last 10 laps with R2's (need good lap times!), you have a shot. In fact, I suggest using MFT's Lotus Elan tune. Kudos to whoever has a shot 👍

 

[Austin343]

That's just insane! Hm, is an underpowered '60s sports car beating DTM and JGTC500 cars more ridiculous than a Cadillac beating Group C cars at Le Mans, or less so? I thought this was the Real Driving Simulator! Of course the cornering will be unbelievable, but I'm amazed it has enough oomph to keep anywhere near on the straights. I'll go see whether I can turn 1'55.xxx laps with it, which would mean it's most certainly capable... if I can pair that with sufficient tire endurance, which I've proven myself to be awful at.

 

[mcsqueegy]

It's not a problem . I could get a 1'54.9 within my 10 laps, and you're a considerably better driver 👍. I suggest not racing against the RX-7 LM though.. it only pits 3 times. And the handling's a bit squirrely on the straights, so that should keep you alert for the whole exciting race!

 

[Austin343]

Well, I wasn't planning on doing it anyway, although I was curious whether I could do it, but when I tuned up my Elan (only to the power and weight levels, no suspension, LSD, etc.) I realized it was in max-point form for Lotus Classics, with 9000 miles on it. I tried it anyway, and without MFT magic its handling is really quite shocking. Its suspension is way too soft, it's wild under braking, and it has horrendous wheelspin, all conspiring to prevent me from getting anywhere near 1'55. If it can run 1'54.9 with a good setup, though, it will be able to easily beat all the "field-filler" DTM and JGTC cars (no LMs, no Woodone Supra, no Pitwork Z, etc.)

Your suggestion inspired me to look at other ultralight cars to win the race. The old ones I tried, like the Ginetta, were awful, so I turned to the Elises. Those all seem to have the pace on R2 tires, as well, when modified with wings and power upgrades to push them to between 3.3 and 3.5 kg/hp, which I figure to be the threshold for 200 points.

Edit: It seems that many other light MRs are capable. The Dome Zero, for example, would just slaughter the competition, and the Lancia Stratos would too, if you tamed it a bit with suspension work. Rear tire wear is the only potential problem I see - I only tested in Practice mode, and didn't see how fast the cars were eating their R2 shoes. If that's okay, then many <1000kg MRs with a wing and upped power will win this race. 👍

 

[RoadHazzard]

I'm testing the Roadster 4h Endurance vs the 1st Lineup (NTSC/USA). The 1800RS is posting laps in the low 1'10s to mid 1'11s... is this normal?
EDIT: Lineup #1 (NTSC/USA)
1 SR Limited '97
2 1.8 RS '98
3 S-Special Type I '95
4 1800 RS '00
5 VR Limited '95

I'm running in the high 1'11s to low 1'12s (no corner cutting) in my used '89 (108 SettingsHP, S1/S1, No Ballast, 3ple Clutch, Racing Flywheel, Carbon Driveshaft -- 124 points), and the booger keeps cutting into my lead.

From everything I've read here, in particular Famine's enduro companion, the lap times for the 1800RS should be longer, right???

Again, I'm running in "test mode", and while this isn't a 200 point run/attempt (yet), I just wanted to make sure it I could beat this race with this car. If I can, I'll do my best to optimize the A-spec haul, trying as best as I can to get a 200 point offer, but the 1800RS is making me a bit worried. I've held the lead from lap 4 (EDIT: NOT lap 1), and right now I'm just over 1:09' into it with 58 laps completed, with the 1800RS 5 seconds behind...

I *must* use this car (the '89) for this race... Am I in trouble???

Thanks for the guidance! Have A Great Drive!

[Smallhorses]

In traffic, and on cold tyres the 1800RS absolutely sucks. 👎
However, after about 8 laps or so, he's going to get quicker & quicker and the he won't pit until about lap 37 onwards (provided he's running in clean air. He sucks at passing though so ensure you find a lineup where he starts in 5th place. )
As is well documented here, in order to win this race against the 1800RS for high points you'll need to send him to play in the sand at every given opportunity, while trying to save your nitrous.
So far I've only managed 147 points here, but I've so far refused to drive dirty, or use any nitrous. (Report of clean win for 147 points is in my Endurance companion, but critically didn't feature the 1800RS in the lineup since he's too damned quick!)
This race, if it becomes necessary to use any nitrous at all for me to hit 100,000 points, will probably the one I go for first.

 

[RoadHazzard]

Thanks, Smallhorses!

I haven't been in contact with the 1800RS since I passed it on the first lap. I almost want to slow down to give him an idea of how I got my name...

It's just weird... I'm using much less power than FlyingKiwi's 2 cars (from the Race Report Forum), and I'm getting fewer points offered. Too bad FK never reported which tires were used... AND I wish I wrote down the lineup before I started (it's NTSC/USA #1).
EDIT: Lineup #1 (NTSC/USA)
1 SR Limited '97
2 1.8 RS '98
3 S-Special Type I '95
4 1800 RS '00
5 VR Limited '95

S1/S1, 108 SettingsHP, __0 Ballast = 124pts
S1/S1, 108 SettingsHP, 200 Ballast = 151pts
N3/N3, 108 SettingsHP, 200 Ballast = 167pts
N2/N2, 108 SettingsHP, 200 Ballast = 184pts
N1/N1, 108 SettingsHP, 176 Ballast = 200pts

(EDIT)Based on bttlefed's post on page 3, it looks like Lineup #31 or #137 will give me the best shot at a 200 pointer (other than #1)... I'll give this one another go tomorrow with N1's... I'll see how much a FC Tranny and FC LSD might help...

Anyway, I'll run a few more laps to see what's up. When I posted my fastest lap (1'11.400), the 1800RS *STILL* cut about half a second out of the gap. Very discouraging...

Meh... My priority is to win this race, for whatever points they give me. When I'm done testing (probably after I pit in 12 laps), I'll do some lineup fishing and see what I can come up with (hopefully 200!!!👍).

Lastly, I want to explicitly thank you (Smallhorses) for sharing your experiences. Your threads have been a tremendous help to me!!👍👍

Have A Great Drive!

...

(EDIT) After pitting ahead of the 1800RS at the end of Lap 70, I was -4.8" at T1. It's now Lap 73, and I've been able to stretch it back out to -6.8... I don't know how long the tires will stay cold for the 1800RS, but I think I can win this one without much problem, especially since I have more than half a bottle left. It's just really discouraging to post a new fast lap (I got a 1'11.347, then a 1'11.238, both without spraying), only to see the gap get smaller. Meh, whatever. If that dood ever comes close, I'll send it into the kitty litter like the piece of poop that it is...

This concludes my test run... I'll see what kind of point offering they'll give me with maxed ballast. Then I'll switch tires to N3/N3, check the lap times and point offering, and lastly I'll try N1/N3 and see what happens.

Thanks again!

(EDIT) (in re to below)...
Thanks, Austin343! Yeah, my hopes aren't that high, but I haven't encountered any threads yet that would give me an idea as to the "most" I can squeeze out of this race (using the '89). Thanks for the heads-up on the lineup requirements!👍

Now that I'm confident I can win with this car against the 1800RS, I'm going to exit the race now, and watch the replay for a while. I'll give a report on what I see soon...

Thanks again!


(EDIT)... The 1800RS finally moves into P2 after T1 of Lap 15, at which point I'm 22 seconds ahead... From there, it's lap times improved from the 1'13s (behind the SR Limited) to the high 1'10s/low 1'11s. I'm sure my game isn't unique in this regard, so I guess Famine's avg lap times include the in and out laps when pitting...

It takes about 12-15 laps for the tires of the 1800RS to warm up, and after about another 10-12 laps it'll start to fall back into the mid 1'11s...

 

[Austin343]

I could check my replay for the 1800RS' lap times, but that would be tomorrow. I spent most of the time blocking it, so I really don't know what it does on its own. As for the 200 points, don't get your hopes up: just read this thread to see what a nightmare that is. You need N1 tires, at least for lap 1, ballast, and tons of cheating. We've found that it's impossible to be offered 200 with the 1800RS absent, and you realistically need a lineup without the '89 or '91 models to be quick enough for 200.

[sukerkin]

Here's a snippet from my notes for this series, doing it the 'hard way' with an F1 tuned for 200 A-Spec against other F1's !

Suzuka



Too much understeer with the set-up I've used for the past couple of races. Put Front Toe to -1, Rear Bound to 4, Final Drive to 3.400, Ride height 53/55. Still no good. Adjust Downforce and Ballast and have a go.



After a bad start made worse by driving 'angry', this turned out to be relatively easy. The new tuning worked well and the only bad mistakes all race were two instances caused by pushing too hard.

[Austin343]

I don't think so, Uncle Harry. After digging around a bit in my diary, I unearthed my 200 point FGT race at Suzuka, under which it said "Time: 1'36.499." Of course, that's my fastest lap, not a consistent one, and it may have been one of the laps I shortcut, but that's a significant difference. I think I pitted 8 times (every 6 laps? I wrote nothing down but the MOV about this race), which is about a 60 second difference between you and me, equating to approximately 1 second per lap, and I'm fairly sure my consistent laps were 1'40 or below. And now I see Car-less' post, where his fastest lap was 1'37.2 with a 65 second MOV. I guess you need to sacrifice tire life for speed or just set up the car better so you can turn faster times.

Edit: Treed. sukerkin's information is more useful, anyway. But I did tree Car-less!

Edit 2: This belongs in Extreme Events, by the way. I think a moderator should move this there so it's easier for others to find.

Mostly clean racing - occasional offs.
Total Time ~1:32:xx, Fastest Lap 1:37.185, MOV ~65s.
NOTE:- Setting your car up well makes all the difference between a satisfying race and a frustrating one. The right setup and the right line can really add up on this long and complex track. I put in around 30 practise laps before I was sure that I had it right.

This is actually quite an easy race, and I think it can be done without the FC Tranny and the Sports Suspension. Perhaps it can even be done without the Chip or Muffler. The settings and mods above are what I had equipped when I ran this as a test run.

The R1/R1 Tires last around 14 laps, and the R2/R2 Tires last around 10. I switched to the R2s after the first stint and exited with the lead, without touching the bottle. The M3 can run in the high 1'30s to low 1'31s on R1s, and the low 1'27s to high 1'26s with the R2s.

Another one for the crazy club: The TVR Speed 12 can win La Sarthe II...in stock power. With a bit of tinkering, I could get 3'14's with R3's. So in theory, a good driver could do this easily. But I recommend a very careful tune on it.

 

[Austin343]

Are you sure about that? 3'14 lap times are definitely not good enough, and rear R3s will dissolve within just a few laps, right? I did attempt the race in the Speed 12 (actually, it was the first I tried before settling on the Cien) and its wheelspin and handling just made it too slow. I know a good tune will improve it, but I think victory is a stretch.

 

[tizocspeed8]

I'm currently doing La Sarthe I for 200 points with BMW McLaren F1 GTR vs lineup 2 (R92Cp,R89C, 787b, GT-One, C9). Fitted NA Stage 3 and added 100 ballast at the front. Race time is 12 hours and I have a 9 lap lead over the 787b. The 787b and Sauber are still exchanging for second and third even after 12 hours

I finally started testing the MOTUL PITWORK Z at CdlS II. I haven't won it yet, and I'm only going to do this once. The trouble is that I'm not sure how many miles my car will have when I get there, making the exact settings for my non-test run hard to estimate. I'm sure better drivers out there can do this, so...

Cutting through the chicanes, I finished Lap 1 just under a second ahead of the C 9. From there, I would run laps anywhere from 3'09 to 3'15, and that was including many offs into the junk, spinning once or twice. I'm sure that **IF** I can keep this car on the track for 24 hours, this race can be won somewhat handily.

I entered the pits at the end of my 8th lap, and showed *0* fuel units on the screen. The 787B passes as it begins its 9th lap, but I manage to exit ahead of the C 9. I regained the lead well ahead of the 787 at the start of Lap 10

I'm DEFINITE that someone else out there can do this, but I need more practice... I'll update with better details when I do this for real.

I decided to "wear down" my PITWORK Z by running the CdlSI. I'm currently paused in the pits at the end of Lap 96 with a 50 second lead over the R89C (before pitting). I'm confident I can begin my 101th lap by the time I hit the 6 hour mark, which (hopefully) will lead to victory...

Of course, I took breaks, but man! My thumbs "seven star" HURT!!

Anyway, I ran 400 laps, slowing down to cross the line just after the 24hr mark. The R89 pitted on lap 399, and I ended up with around a 1 minute gap. I crashed a lot, spun a lot (3 times while pitting), and still managed to have a comfortable last 50 laps or so.

Towards the end, the R89 started to pit every 8 laps, instead of its usual 7. I started to get a little worried, as I had more than 2500 miles at that point, and my bottle was empty. Without as many crashes and spinouts, I'm sure someone could lap the R89 by the end of the race.

Best lap was 3'27.025, with most laps in the range of 3'28 to 3'33. The oil light hasn't come on yet, and the car finished with 3384 miles and 707 SettingsHP (with Turbo 3).

Wallriding and crash-turning, this car can average laps in the low 1'40s to mid 1'39s. It can go 12 laps before the tires go out, during which time you can build up to a 40+ second lead. This will be enough to exit the pits ahead of the competition. It might be winnable without a drivetrain mod, specifically the FC Transmission, but I haven't tested it without it yet. It might also benefit from better suspension tuning, as this car (with the above settings) tends to oversteer.

Sorry, I should've elaborated a bit. Maybe NTSC cars run quicker in La Sarthe, because my AI run 3'16s at the best (Sauber & 88CV). With a better tune, 3'08 is possible. On R1's, that would be a close race. I'll see what else I can do with the car, because it's doing great with my tune...except maybe cornering ability. I'll be back with a setup if I succeed. 👍

 

[Austin343]

Indeed, according to Digital-Nitrate, our AI cars have fastest laps in the 3'12 bracket and average laps around 3'15. And most importantly, they don't get the wall-bashing glitch! It certainly seems you can do it, but I doubt I can, especially with the poor rear tire life produced by all that wheelspin. Although D-N probably ran his test with a car roughly equal to the AI, and it's believed that the AI go a bit slower the higher the race's A-Spec point total is, so I guess it's a maybe.

Congratulations to you, RoadHazzard, for your persistence at Sarthe I. Thirteen hours in a day is more than I can ever imagine doing. I would imagine that with a balanced lineup, e.g. all LMPs, the race might be winnable without the shortcutting. I'm not criticizing how you did it, just speculating... Anyway, great job there. 👍

Of course, I took breaks, but man! My thumbs "seven star" HURT!![/quote ]


Most I could do last night was 7 Hours at Nurb, with 5 minute breaks each hour

How is the quote function supposed to work? I see there isn't a quote wrap around the quote I inserted

Well, there's a quote button in the bottom right-hand corner of every post. There are also [ quote](copy and paste text here)[/quote ] tags, without the spaces between the bracket and the letters, of course. If you want to quote RoadHazzard in your post above, locate the edit button, which is also in the bottom right corner, and insert [ quote=RoadHazzard][/quote ] around what he wrote.

Wow, just doing a single 24 hour endurance in a week is impressive enough, but 39 hours in seven days? That's 5 and a half hours per day! 👍
