Le Mans Series in Development (Need Some Help)Draft

[Devin Smith]

Hello everyone im trying to make a Le Mans series for early 2015 on GT6. I was wondering if the cars would be closely even and if not what could some changes be. 12 Rounds 24 Weeks LMP1/GT one week and LMPC/LMPV the next. Any Questions just ask

LMP1: Any Closed Cockpit Prototype 2000-Present 700HP 1000KG No DLC Prototypes

LMPC: Any Open Cockpit Prototype 500HP 950KG No DeltaWing

GT: Any Race car 600HP 1350KG

LMPV: Any Prototype 1999 or older 750HP 900KG

Tracks:
Round 1: Daytona Road 90 Mins
Round 2: Monza 60 Mins
Round 3: Indy Road 60 Mins
Round 4: Mazda Raceway 60 Mins
Round 5: Le Mans 2013 90 Mins
Round 6: Red Bull Ring 60 Mins
Round 7: Silverstone GP 60 Mins
Round 8: Brands Hatch GP 60 Mins
Round 9: Grand Valley Speedway 60 Mins
Round 10: Spa 90 Mins
Round 11: Suzuka 2014 60 Mins
Round 12: Fuji Speedway F 60 Mins
All Tracks Could Be Changed Before Series starts

First of all, find 2 or 3 cars for each class (otherwise there is just too many to test).

For example:
LMP1:
Audi R18 TDI
Peugeot 908 HDi FAP
Test them, because I guarantee you the Peugeot will be much faster than the Audi when they're both set at 700HP and 1000KG. So you'll need to find equal spec, say 700HP / 1000KG for the Audi and 620HP / 1000KG for the Peugeot (this is not accurate I'm just giving an example of spec).

LMPC:
Not a lot of cars to choose from here, so I'd stick with one...
Pescarolo C60 Hybride
Now, being only one car you can set it to 500HP and 950KG, because there will be no difference as there are no other cars, it would come down to car setup.

GT:
Again, keep it simple
If you're using GT3 cars, use for example:
Audi R8 LMS ultra
Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3
Now, at 600HP and 1350KG, the Nissan is waaaaay overpowered, so I'd recommend testing for these cars too. Say, 600 HP at 1350 KG for Audi, 510 HP at 1350KG for Nissan and 550 HP at 1350 KG for Mercedes-Benz (again, not accurate just an example).

LMPC:
Likewise, simple
Nissan R92CP
Toyota MINOLTA 88C-V
I wouldn't use 750HP and 950KG, I would just keep them both at oil change only, because the MINOLTA will automatically be less powerful than the Nissan but if they were the same power, the MINOLTA would have a massive advantage.
But, like I said, it's better to test the cars and find an equal balance between them.

Alright thanks will do

Consider swapping cars - I find cars which are very similar in performance with a PP, KG and BHP limit set by the game and then achieve parity by having all competitors swap cars at regular intervals. e.g. I'm currently running Historic BSCC with limits of 530PP, 640KG and 350BHP - the cars are Mini, Renault 8 Gordini and Buick Special - their performance is very similar and drivers swap cars at rounds 6 and 11 in a 15 round championship. If It was my 12 round LMP series I would pick 2 cars and have drivers swap cars at round 7. Or pick 3 cars and swap at rounds 5 and 9.
