LM Race Cars @ LeMans Feature-Length Event

[kcheeb]

Nah, its a Playstation - not Academy. And I think I might have tuned it.
Will try and "untune" - but have my doubts.

TEX, I have all the cars, I can send you that one, untuned, if you'll send it back after running it through it's paces

I think he's good to go. He was just on track with his car with the room set to tuning prohibited.

How can the Jag and Camaro enter if tuning is prohibited? Does ENgine limiting not count?

I think we can't send car worth more than 1 million credit.

That's right. You can do engine limiting and brake balance with tuning prohibited.

Hmm, bummer. I was going to ask permission to install a #2 Turbo on the beemer to bring it to 591pp.

 

[Nicktune]

I'm in (if space available).

Come on down!

Heh, that's good; I was worried for a second there because for some reason, my RX-7 was 1 HP over the regulation limit, which would have been quite a disappointing thing to be penalized/disqualified over.

Though, come to think about it, how are so many different HP/PP/Weight regulations enforced?

Everything is stock, except for the Camaro and XJ220. We're going with the honor system on this one.

No way to postpone the start 10 mins to see if Zer0 can be reached?

EDIT: as you can tell, I'd like to race

 

[Nicktune]

I'll try the nsx to add variety.

I sent him a PM. It's all I can do. There is 20 minutes for qualifying.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I'm jealous of you guys right now. Have a great race.

 

[A_Higher_Place]

DO another one at Spa or something next week? I'd love to partake.

Hang around, it could still happen 👍

Everyone join an open online room and post the number

I'm glad I'm not the only one this happens to!

Sorry to Hillracing. I didnt expect you to move to the right so fast.

chatva, idk if I hit you in your game but I didnt in mine. Was probably lag so sorry if I did

No problem. I was pissed for most of the race but the apology is enough for me. One thing I did want to say though is I notice when someone is drafting you you weave about quite a bit. I think you're only allowed one move to defend so please keep that in mind for the future. Had some close calls behind you because you weren't predictable while drafting.

I don't think I would have been in the running anyways as my car ate tires like crazy. Once some of the fuel burned off I got 5 or 6 laps on a set but before that I was lucky to get 4. I'd start catching up for the first 2 laps then my car would slow down a lot and get almost impossible to drive. Shouldn't have let Dabney talk me into the Audi. All that extra weight seemed to burn tires. Oh well it was fun. I'd do it again if someone sets it up.

 

[kcheeb]

That was a lot of fun! Thanks everyone.

tensor, what happened to you? One lap to go and you're gone. Not sure I could catch you or not, but would have loved to try

Good jamming with Nick, boy you were fast in the corners! Sorry if my funky brake points messed you up a couple of times, there's a few corners I give plenty of respect to!

la Sarthe takes a lot of heat for being a boring track, but you can't see bunnies anywhere there or it's the old spinorama! And Indianapolis is so much fun

Looking forward to next week 👍

 

[fzappa]

Great race tonight!

Congrats kcheeb!

Thanks for putting it together dab!

Le Mans boring?!! Thats disrespectful! Haha

Indianapolis is a crazy corner. Its probably top 2 corners I hate most

You woulda caught me.
Ran out of gas
Derrrr

I just quit because I was pissed because it seems like gas goes faster when youre nearing the end of the race. When I pitted lap 5, I used a quarter. With 7 laps to go I pitting and filled it to a third full!

What's idk? Huh! Can we all speak/type properly.

Hey kcheeb, didn't we have a few moments? I'm feeling left out over here.

 

[dabneyd]

Here's the larger album, and some selections.

Congrats to the winner, kcheeb!

And the runner-up, Nic-kl!

And me in third!

Good racing everyone, we'll talk about next week and potentially making this a series soon. Camaro and XJ220 drivers, did you feel like your cars were too slow too keep up? Hillracing, you're welcome to use the XJ220 going forward.

Me too! Don't understand ? But next time, it won't happen as I learn from f-ups
The fuel consumption I mean!

 

[kcheeb]

Right you are 👍 It was at the start of the race and at the first pit stop, a few hours ago That was fun 👍

That's odd, I heard a couple of people say they ran out of gas. I pitted twice and only took gas once and left it at recommended??? Must have gotten lucky!
