Petit Le Mans

[miatamaniac12]

i am holding the Petit Le Mans this weekend and would like others to join in on the action, it will be at Road Atlanta like real life, but instead of 10 hours or 1000Mi which ever comes first, i've decided to make the race only 1 hour long, in reality this is not long at all, i've done the 24 hrs of le mans on GT5 6 hours at a time, so a 1 hour endurance should be no problem at all.
RULES AND SETTINGS:
1. all cars MUST remain COMPLETELY STOCK, you may tune your car but NO UPGRADES PERIOD- NO EXCEPTIONS
2. 4 cars per class, P1, P2, GT1, and GT2.
3. all cars must be from 2006 and up. (acuras, Audi R10s, ferrari f430 gt2, corvette c6r, etc. )
4. there will be a 25 minute qualifying session either the day of or before the race (practice on your own time)
5. will be a rolling start like in real life too
6. when you sign up you must give the car you are in, Xbox live username, and please put what class the car is in so i can manage how many spots in what classes i have left.
7. damage and tire wear will be set to SIMULATION, so don't crash!
8. bumping, shunting, pitting (manuver) etc. will NOT BE TOLERATED! you will be asked to leave the race if you do this.

more than 4 cars may be allowed in each class ONLY if 16 people don't sign up..

i need racers to participate!!! for the rolling start, we will organize according to lap times

Is this still available or has this already been done?

I quite like endurance races, especially multi-class ones.

 

[xboxracer]

er, forgive my ignorance, but how can a car remain completely stock if you`re allowed to tune it?

Surely, if it`s tuned, it`s not stock?

Maybe this is why there`s been little interest in it, as the rules contradict themselves?

Or is it just me?

 

[Im_Lukas]

I think what is meant is that you can't upgrade the car (removing restrictors, widening tyres etc.) but you can tune the car (gear ratios, tyre pressures, camber).

Upgrading the car will affect the PI of the car while tuning won't.

what i meant was you can adjust parts like your alignment and tire pressure, etc. idk why people think tuning means upgrade.. i'll have to remember that next time...
thanks!!!

exactly!!!

@2121: yes still available, not many have signed up, so i haven't raced it yet

 

[Im_Lukas]

Thanks, I always used to mix up tuning and upgrading too. I think it was the old Gran Turismo games which called it the 'tuning shop' where you bought upgrades.

I have 2 quick questions, would you prefer the cars in each all to be from a different manufacturer?
eg: GT2 has 1 BMW, 1 Ferrari, 1 Jaguar and 1 Porsche.
Also, are all the cars going to be from the game or are the DLC cars included?
From what I have read, if a person has not purchased a DLC he/she can not see the car when someone else is driving it.

I'll put my entry in when I get X-box gold in the next few days or so.

 

[Fezz_ST]

If this is on a Sunday I'll join, probably in GT2 class in the Falken Porsche

 

[miatamaniac12]

Fezz: okay sounds good!! i'll put you down as that, and yes i've decided it will be sunday because i'm PACKED saturday. @GTracer38, i don't mind if there is more than 1 car the same in each class. ex. 2 porsches and 2 ferraris, 2 Audis... etc. DLC cars that ARE ALMS/ILMC/WEC cars ARE allowed, so porsche GT cars, RS Spyders, ferrari 458 GT, Audi R15 TDI++ and R18 TDI Ultra etc.

 

[miatamaniac12]

i MAY switch tp either P2 or GT2 just so i can drive my porsches, btw thanks everyone for signing up!!! should be a cool event! also is it okay if i bump up the time to 2 hours so it turns into an ENDURANCE race? and something i forgot to mention earlier you must make 2 mandatory pitstops, 1 after 15 laps to 18 laps, inbetween that, the 2nd must fall between 50-60 laps, these are based on a 2 hour enduro.

 

[Im_Lukas]

I'm okay with it being 2 hours, but it depends what time you're starting. If it's taking place on the 17th June then I probably won't be able to make it as I have an important exam the next morning.

 

[miatamaniac12]

okay, it will probably be around 12:00 in the afternoon EST and okay, it will be 2 hours now. thanks!

 

[marfyb22]

I'll start doing some testing this weekend.

Monday, Tuesday Thursday, Friday from 7:30pm AEST (+11GMT).

LMP1 - 1:09.578 although I doubt that I will get that kind of time consistently as it's very rare I race R1 cars. That time was without any adjustments to the set up so I could probably squeeze a little more time out of it.

 

[miatamaniac12]

ok, i will see if i can make that, no promises though

Eep...I don't think I'll race LMP1 then.

 

[Im_Lukas]

I'll probably wreck the car after 2 laps because I like to treat races like hot lap sessions and try for the fastest lap which usually ends up with crashing into a wall, either that or I downshift too quick and damage the engine.

Is it possible that when lapping people in lower classes they can hold their line as it gets frustrating when you go to overtake on the right and they move over to let you through which causes a big crash.

 

[miatamaniac12]

yess!!! everyone in GT1 and GT2 PLEASE hold your line on track, it is the prototypes job to get around you, unless we are on the back straight (T7-T10a) you may move if you have quite a bit of distance between you and the faster car, but in most cases, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE hold your line, it is overly frustrating on sim. damage to collect a GT car doing 150+mph then your race be just over... or as good as over.. i can't remember if i told everyone, but it WILL be a rolling start..
