Suspension settings please?
What new penalties? 🥺I did one race before start all this and realised that new penalties added since i received one for the first time
At virage d'Arnage , i was late on brakes and pas outside the kerb that lead at the sand .What new penalties? 🥺
I have had a similar thing happen and I believe it it something with the penalty system in this race that has a multiplier that triggers when the conditions are rainy and you have dry tyres. I barely went outside the line at Mulsanne exit (slim triangle of gravel on left side) and picked up a 1.5 second penalty, normally in dry conditions i do not get this but it was raining and i was with RH tyres. It's same when you get those horridly high penalties for going astray in the Porsche Curves when it rains but when its dry you will get a lower penalty like .5 to 1.5 secondsAt virage d'Arnage , i was late on brakes and pas outside the kerb that lead at the sand .
Just pass the kerb and went back inside close to the wall in the green area and took one.
I never received a penalty there , i have done this many times.
I don't know how to describe it it but its like this .
Its like the game realise that you're going flat out and the slightest mistake leads immediately to a penalty and might be 0.500 or 1 second at the same spot depending the speed you have .
At virage of Mulsanne has one big kerb at the left when you start accelerate for the straight, i went outside many times but if am going fast doing best time at the lap, there's no chance to get away without 0,500 penalty if you did that .
Anyway , i never received a penalty at Arnage for going straight ( only in rain with dry tyres ).
I can't tell cause am using faster cars and at easy level there's no AI Infront of me at that sector. If ill use something different, ill notice if that happens.Am I crazy or what? has anyone noticed that the AI WILL brake check you if you are too close in the Porsche Curves, especially in the turns 2 & 4?
remember I race with fuel economy in mind therefore I am slower and I will try to post a video of this soon...I can't tell cause am using faster cars and at easy level there's no AI Infront of me at that sector. If ill use something different, ill notice if that happens.
P2 got into the pits and crossed over the start/finish line before you before end of clock therefore winning, I had same happen and in official standings wound up as P5 once myself.Today, something weird happened for me: I did Le Mans with a downtuned Gr.3 Honda NSX (overall a lovely car to drive, although it feels a bit heavy and sluggish being downtuned, it’s a lot more agile at 800 PP). Anyway, I was 1:00 ahead at P1 and approaching finish line slowly with 1:30 left on the clock. I went extremely slowly in 1-2 gear, trying to avoid having to go another lap. I’ve done this before several times, so I didn’t expect anything to worry about. Clock ticked down and I crossed the finish line right away, still on P1.
But then I got the race result and was shown as ending P2!! How is this even possible? Is it because I got a really bad lap time because of my slow drive? This has never happened before… 🤷♂️
Agreed. It's happened to me a few times. Thirty minutes down the toilet.P2 got into the pits and crossed over the start/finish line before you before end of clock therefore winning, I had same happen and in official standings wound up as P5 once myself.
Word of advice is never let P2 get closer than 1minute 30 seconds or it is better to go one more lap
Ok, I get that. But it doesn’t make sense, does it? When you’re pitting, how can you win the race? Regardless of AI or real player… I thought going to the pit means you’re “off race”? 🤷♂️P2 got into the pits and crossed over the start/finish line before you before end of clock therefore winning, I had same happen and in official standings wound up as P5 once myself.

the AI went past the finish line in the pitlane before you did, so once the AI came out out the pits it still had to do one more lap, it finished more laps than you so it beat youOk, I get that.

But yeah, that’s not going to happen again!!
I get that the AI passed the finish line before me. But there are still two things that don’t make sense: 1. How can that happen when the timer says P2 is 1:00 behind me literally seconds before I cross the finish line? How can the AI make up 1:00 in 2 seconds? That’s clearly a big in the game.the AI went past the finish line in the pitlane before you did, so once the AI came out out the pits it still had to do one more lap, it finished more laps than you so it beat you

And 2. I must have misunderstood the rules of pitting. I always thought you’re off race when you’re in the pit. Hence, you cannot win a race going through the pit lane. Regardless of whether you go another lap or not.
But it’s ok - I’ve learned my lesson. 🤓
Yes it happened to me several times,usually around P7/p6. I had the worst night of racing in months,2 races 9th and 12th. I totally cocked up my pit strategy and just ran out of time.Both were extremely wet races ,the RI just didn’t do the job at all.Am I crazy or what? has anyone noticed that the AI WILL brake check you if you are too close in the Porsche Curves, especially in the turns 2 & 4?
It really isn't a brake check in a literal sense where they are trying to frustrate you. It's just bad "AI" that you have to predict at certain points along the course they will over brake or brake unnecessarily. I can confidently rely on certain places they'll brake where you don't want to be directly behind them.Am I crazy or what? has anyone noticed that the AI WILL brake check you if you are too close in the Porsche Curves, especially in the turns 2 & 4?
I find the "AI" will brake in the dumbest of places, including the pit off-ramp (to a full stop at times), in addition to trying to drive straight through you.Am I crazy or what? has anyone noticed that the AI WILL brake check you if you are too close in the Porsche Curves, especially in the turns 2 & 4?
they always do that, it's not a brake check it's just dumb AI. Tehy do this in so many other turns and tracks.Am I crazy or what? has anyone noticed that the AI WILL brake check you if you are too close in the Porsche Curves, especially in the turns 2 & 4?
I have also and the Mazda LM 55 gr1 set it this way , is faster and have less fuel consumption but need to find out where my post is .All credit for this post goes to @smoothbore12
@smoothbore12 posted a setting early on this thread (near bottom of page 1) https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/la-sarthe-weather-report-and-other-stuff.422445/post-14088215
and it really intrigued me that this car had near magical abilities to ward off tyre wear, you could literally run IMs the whole entire 7 lap race and not burn them up. So off and on I was making little adjustments to the suspension settings to see what specific setting has the greatest impact on the tyre wear.
This the most foolproof grinder, unless you drive like a total View attachment 1329135
You should not have to make any pitstop at all. You can do FM5 easily to get 7 laps and if you drive a wee bit conservatively you can do same at FM4.
I had taken @smoothbore12 setting and made adjustments for tyre wear and also to get a little more Hp for the drive, here are my settings and I have posted only the first page because there is nothing additional changed on 2nd page at all.

I have found that the three settings in suspension that affect the tyre wear are:I have also and the Mazda LM 55 gr1 set it this way , is faster and have less fuel consumption but need to find out where my post is .
I took a pick from my LM so you have work yo do 😂I have found that the three settings in suspension that affect the tyre wear are:
Negative Camber Angle (low numbers are better)
Toe Angle (low numbers are better)
Anti-roll Bar (too high will cause wear)

Let us know how you end with this please.
