Next Sunday is Le Mans Test day (7pm to 9.15pm, session 7.30pm-9.15pm with a mock start).

26th - Q1 (7pm lobby opens, session 7.15pm-8.15pm)
27th - Q2 (6pm lobby opens, session 6.15pm-7.15pm), Race (7.30pm starting procedure).
 
My Spa-race was like most of them. Lot of sh…tuff happened. I wasn't too quick in the rain or the dark to begin with, but while I lost Orama and Lancer's rear(s) quite early on during various GT-P's pitting, falling back behind GT-O's and catching up again, I wasn't too far back. But then, approximately around lap 10, the rigidity on my car suddenly went from one lap to the next. I never experienced it like that before, but suddenly the whole car felt like it was constantly twisting - no stiffness in the car at all anymore. At the same time, the brakes didn't bite anymore either. It felt like the brake balance had been turned down to 0 - I had to resort to braking a good 20 metres earlier than usual. I guess I should have done a chassis-refresh for safety, but anyway, this resulted in rather slow lap times, which was made worse by chrisjohnson unnecessarily running into my right rear just after Eau Rouge, causing me to pit with damage and temporarily falling back behind Carbonox. I got the position back on the track, then later on crashed once more by myself to fall back behind Carbonox again. Would have liked to try get him again, but then he sadly dc'd.

I think I finished over a whole lap down, but 3rd is damage control.

Unofficial GT-O standings with all 3 dropped scores included: (assuming that everyone that shows up for Le Mans will be able to produce a better result than their 3rd-worst score of the season with double points and all…)

Snow 198 (208)
Orama 190 (198)
Siggers 165 (165)
FlyingFox 113 (113)
Carbonox 97 (104)
Lancer 85 (85)

Means that Orama is champion, if he wins or, failing that, finishes 2 positions ahead of me.
 
Has anyone ever encountered a glitch where another driver just seems to stand still on the grid? I swear I've seen it happen to @Roflwaffle a few times between WSC and TOCA races, even though he finished 2nd.

My race was horrible. The car was extremely unstable in the wet, and that led to me spinning out several times at Blanchimont.

Yeah I had that happen with Racecar at Monza, and I also couldn't see you during the race.

This happened to me with @FlyingFox during IROC 3 at Daytona. It caused a wreck in the Q race because I assumed I could phase through him; this was not the case.
 
GT-P BoP UPDATE:

Ford +10hp = 510hp. Both this and the Jaguar turned 3:53.3 laps. Both showed tyre wear over a 3 lap stint.

Ferrari = same hp (420) 3:55.3. No tyre wear over a 3 lap stint (starts ticking down around first chicane on Lap #4).

Time will be gained back over the stint of course and over a race don't be surprised if Ford / Jag have to make an extra stop. Ferrari also has better fuel economy.

Ferrari drivers (there is more than 1!) - it is a 3 hour race, not a 3 lap race. If you're same pace over a lap you'll walk it, due to a much better car over long runs.

What would happen to be the timing of the qualifying and test day? I can't be sure about making it that day.
