How many laps are in the 24 hour le man round "La Sarthe"?

[evo516]

I've decided to start the 24 hour le man race. Im going to use my Toyota GT-ONE. For anyone that has done the race can you please tel me how many laps it took you to do the full 24 hours?

Thanks.

I am thinking its 3min laps. Which would take 20 laps per hour. 24x20= 480 laps

At 200 laps you will want a car that clocks just over 7min laps to get 24hour race.

Edit:
My post was reading the OP as he was looking to start a 24 hr event.

Look below for correct answers to the A-Spec event.

Audi made the record in 2010 due to few caution laps. Everyone knows why the 2011 had so few miles. I think the race was about 25% caution laps due to incidents with the R18. Look and see what car did the second most laps ever. * Hint it went from standard to premium status.*

Um, you answered your question. It will take 24 hours.. How many laps, does not matter. And will be different for everybody, It's 24 hours..

 

[edawg456]

Depends

Depends - after all, you could run a certain number of laps in an X2010, then walk away and come back when the 24 hours are up. So long as you did more laps, you ought to win. Please note, I've not actually tested this. Some might call it cheating, others might be all "So what?"

Not quite correct. 3 minutes laps are done with cutting all corners and driving mad for the whole race.

Take 3:30 mins, + pit stops, and you'll be at 360-400 laps.

Had to look at the recent race we did. 3:25 lap times w/ 680hp on LMP's

Knew it was in the 3's wasn't sure where. LoL

Thanks for more precise figures.

Edit:

Note above I was reading the OP like he was looking to do an online 24hr event. D'oh don't play A-Spec these days and forgot all about that kinda of Race. LoL

Ive done several of these now one strait thru in real time on my own 4 others with and none without the save feature, The AI will do 378 laps you only need do 1 more and make sure you finish it or it wont count. In other words when you reach 380 park up and rest but set alarm for 5 mins before finish time.

To the guy who thinks its a 3 minute lap, Obviously youve either not done the event or if you did it would require something faster than an LMP or group C.

Please read my post above yours.

I'm did it in an x2011 (I know I'm an idiot) and did 399 laps. The way I did it was cutting corners everywhere I could then parking by the finish line till time passed. I don't have the time to do endurance races but I had a week off.

If you wanna do it properly then I suggest you do at least 385 laps if the track is dry. This should give you a few laps spare. I finished with a 20 lap lead on all the other cars even leaving the car parked for an hour or 2 then going for a blast.

If you don't wanna do it properly you should cut corners everywhere until you hit about 385 laps then you can park the car.

Your fuel will for 7 laps before needing to pit if it had the same fuel consumption as the Toyota in my race . If you are lucky and the fuel in your car lasts an extra lap this can be crucial. The reason it is crucial is that for some unknown reason we get longer pit stops than the ai cars.

I did 394 laps with my GT-One. Only 5 laps of pushing hard the rest were just cruising and looking after the tyres(Racing Medium) with the last lap reserved for donuts by the start finish line waiting for the clock to tick over. This was before spec 2.

Thanks.

When I completed the race, I dealt well around +300 laps in the 787B.

I did it with the R92CP Race Car and I have like 498 laps I think.

 

[crcn11]

Depends

 

[Danze1984]

I just finished this last night, I did 405 laps, 43 ahead of 2nd place.

I dont beleive that, averaging 2mins 54 seconds without pit stop LMAO you used the X2010 for that sort of lap count. You need to facor in around 30 to 40 pit stops at apr 2 minutes per stop as well.
Hot lapping a few laps cutting every chicane and corner may produce a sub 3 min lap in the R92 but no way can you keep that pace for a full endurance unless you race saved every pits to avoid any form of fatigue. 398 laps would be realastic for a group C car.

It might depend on before or after the tire wear change. I did this race several months ago before the new tire wear factor came into play driving one of the Peugeot cars and I'm sure I got in around 470 laps.

 

[ZeGermanBastorD]

I've done around 430 laps, but it's all down to the weather. If it rains, then you have not as many laps to do as when it's dry.

I've used the X2010 Vettel, round times where around 1.40min. Yea, I've glitched it. Incl. pit stops & out of map glitching I was down to around 2.30min/lap overall. Had to drive around 18 hrs.

Im quoting before tyre wear there is no way anyone can do them lap times in a Group C without fatigue setting in unless you race save every 1hr or so. Remember you are looking at sub 3 min laps without pits stops pre-tyre wear if done after then add another 50% stops to calculations.

2 laps short of 500 in a group C (LMAO) thats purely X2010 territory.

498 laps divide by 24hrs =20.75 laps per hour.
Divide 60 mins by 20.75 =2.89 apr 2mins 51 secs per lap now pre tyre wear 10 laps between pits = at least 24 pits stops @1mins 30 secs = 40 mins spent in pits so my rough calculations are lapping @2 mins 45 secs average. Ha Ha.

Some out there check out the maths.

That is not correct. You didn't look far enough down. The record was previously held by a Porsche 917 from 1971(!).
