++++++ GTP Le Mans Prototype Championship - Season 2 - Complete !! ++++++

[MC CAULEY]

Jesus man don't over react. I was only funnin.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I have to agree with all that on the hatred of Trial Mountain, it just doesn't fit with these cars.

Anyways, I did say I was driving a Mercedes Sauber C9 Bermuda.

Now the thing is, for those of you who can't do tight racing, or atleast next to someone in the first place. I'd have to say Trial Mountain would be one of the worst place for these cars. Think about it, 180+ MPH, Grass (As I'm aware there's Real Grip Reduction), Tight or windy corners + the driver trying to pass you.

Then again, if you can't pull something like this off, then don't bother racing. But Trial Mountain on the first corner we all now will be torture for those who aren't so lucky.

 

[Slagithor]

Ok so I lied, I wont be wanting to sign up for this race. Mostly, because I don't believe my skills are up to par with lmp cars, without aids yet. Sorry, I'm really interested in this series though, keep it up! Hopefully next season I'll be a better driver and I can compete.

[Downhill Dino]

Nice race everyone, except me. Hopefully I'll do better on Monza. GP/F just isn't for me.

 

[MikeTheHockeyFan]

Yeah that was tons of fun, despite me hating that track.

Good race on your part man!
Sadly the same can't be said from the 2 morons who wanted to get involved on the race for 2nd place from 2 laps behind...

 

[Downhill Dino]

Got lapped by 1st 3 times, almost 4. Lapped by everyone else 2 times almost 3 for some. I did wonderful! The only person who was at my level was golfer. Though that 908 is hard to keep up with.

 

[MikeTheHockeyFan]

Setting up that Limited Slip Differential to limit wheelspin coming out of corners is probably where half of my semi-decent lap time comes from.

Was a lot of fun racing in a big field of 12 or 13 cars this time out. Hope everyone shows up for the next event!

 

[Downhill Dino]

Do you think I should lower TCS on my C9? I had it set to 2 so I don't drift through corners. I'm not exactly sure what to do.

 

[bombe32]

I don't know how much time you lost, but I can tell you that you weren't the only one who had problems when facing the traffic - I got damaged three times because of people being lapped.

Remember guys, outside lane - and EliteDreamer: let me pass you instead of race me, thank you.

Nevertheless, good racing - hadn't practiced at all, only the few laps before the race and setup was designed for La Sarthe.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Lol sorry, I do better once I'm around someone so I used people as an oppurtunity to boost ahead. My driving tactic is very odd, but that's just how it works.

That was me wasnt it? I'm sorry for that. I wanted some friendly competition. Next time though I have a plan...

I saw that right when I passed you, right after he did it to you he tried to block me and put himself on the wall what an A$$ CLOWN!
ROOKIES this is for you!!! DO NOT RACE THE LEADERS WHEN YOU ARE BEING PASSED!!!!

 

[SebVettelFan]

great race. even on a circuit i didnt like. had a great battle with jake all race. still annoyed i had to pit twice and give team bentley 4th and 5th but hey ho it was fun. as i said ill post some pictures tomorrow of the race and hopefully next week at monza will be even better.

 

[Jav]

I don't mind friendly competition if we are on free preactice or even if fighting for position, but while you are being lapped the other guy is on a fight of his own. When being lapped just stay to your line and let the guy go by, it's that simple!

 

[AllinWitJT]

You guys being the first group I have ever participated with online, let me now straight up if I held up the leaders so I can learn. With that being said I will only let leaders pass on a straight or entering a turn that has enough room. Not a chicane, not a tight turn and not because a leader happens to get on my tail in the middle of a turn of his choosing. Lapping car should wait until we are both on a safe spot for me to move out of the way. I tend to follow the no ping-pong method. One move that is obvious of a move over for faster traffic to pass. If I don't make that one move at the exact time lapping traffic thinks I should, that is a matter of opinion and not malicious intent. I may be dealing with too much speed to scrub safely or just not have enough experience to move over safely at that particular moment. Hope I did what I described above as I was a lap downed by a few. Fun race. Anyone have the replay? I went for a long slide in the grass by myself, I'd like to see it.

 

[GT5_X2010]

I would like someone to sort something out for me. In the races I had a problem for a good few laps where I let AllinWitJT through to lap me but I couldn't reach the car infront of me in the standings because I wasn't sure of wether or not I could unlap myself on track if I knew I could manage it and I had the pace?
(Wathcing the 12 hours Sebring atm and in that McNish has been unlapping himself on track whenever he has the pace. Could we follow these rules. Let people buy but if you have clear pace over them then you may unlap yourself after a set amount of laps?)

 

[Jav]

Off course is ok to unlap yourself if you come up to the car you are a lap down on. However if you are being put a lap down it is not ok to fight him and race to not get lapped, theres a reason he caught up to you on the first place.
