[DesertPenguin]

I'd like to say I will be there, but I'm still healing my broken foot so if I back out you know why.

 

[Drummer79]

Well, if we not racing Lambos, hell yeah!

 

[llNovall]

Well, if we not racing Lambos, hell yeah!

Commitment seems light right now for the Lambo series. Highly likely I will push the start date back to at least beginning of December in the hope of getting more drivers. Until then, a Porsche GT3 Cup Special Event could be a nice fill in.👍

 

[TEX36]

Will definitely be there!!!

 

[Phlano099]

What @TEX36 said...

 

[Clean Racer]

Hmmm.....

 

[Clean Racer]

Yup... I'll be there. Let me know what reserve livery I'll be using.

I want a new one, not the one I was assigned before.

I have put some testing laps down, and can say with certainty this is a very fun combo. Give it a try for yourself.

 

[Clean Racer]

Wait a minute...20x tire wear? Have you tested that?

 

[llNovall]

Yup, Race softs will last 3-4laps tops, RM: 4-5, and RH: 6+laps. Try it and let me know if you get near the same results

I'll make sure to wear a helmet!

Yupp, would love to join. Please count me in.....

Appreciated.

So, a 1 hour race on RS tires equals 14 to 15 pit stops? Will you use those settings for qualifying as well?

EDIT - Disregard: I am way off...4 to 5 laps here is between 15 and 20 minutes.

 

[Marcus Garvey]

I'm guessing it's going to be closer to 3-6 stops depending on strategy. Though, I'll give away a secret that there is a fairly simple mathematical solution that will tell you that there is usually only one true strategy option if you want to win. Obviously driving skill and setup can vary, which can cause a faster driver who didn't strategise properly to lose to a slower driver who did their math. However, if everyone does the same standard enduro pit strategy testing.....they should all come up with the same pit strategy.

Yeah, I corrected myself in the previous post.

EDIT - Disregard: I am way off...4 to 5 laps here is between 15 and 20 minutes.

During testing on RS, I was able to get 2 hot laps and on 3rd lap, the tires starting falling off quickly at which point I pit at the end of 3rd lap with about 1.5 laps left before empty on fuel. With some conservation of the tires, you could possibly stretch tires to 4 laps, but not advised. (I would use race soft for qualifying and start of race, and then pit early, or run other tires to end of lap 12, then go on RS for a push to the end. What happens in between is left to choice.)
I then fueled up, and applied RM tires. With fuel conservation thru short shifting, but leaning on the tires, I was able to pit at the end of 5 laps with .8 of a lap remaining of fuel, but tires started falling off during lap 4, held ok til middle of lap 5, then fell off in the last sector. Went in to pit at end of lap 5.
I began running on RH, but had to go for work, but given 6 laps could likely be achieved on 1 fuel load, RH should last well up to or past the 6 laps.
Basically, depending on strategy, drivers will need to pit at 2-4 times over the entire race. Should be a very fun and challenging Race.

Yupp, would love to join. Last weeks practice was fun. Please count me in.....

Appreciated.

Welcome. And glad to have you racing with us. You will be racing for JDX Racing in the No. 43 car. Link will be PM'd to you.

Good luck to you, and see you on the 1st at 9pm est.

 

[Rob Brown]

I don’t want to over commit and run this special event. Thinking of wife and child. Looking forward to Spa on the 20th tho . . .

No problem, family first. Hopefully we will have some news on Spa by Monday, otherwise, I'll be flipping Nov and Dec venues, which would take us to Barcelona.

 

[llNovall]

Alright fellas, we have 9 drivers on the grid so far, and I'm confident we will get a few more before Friday, Nov. 1st. Either way, the Special Event at LeMans is now scheduled. See the link below for all Event details, and see you all on the grid.

I would like to be “in” for this race as well. I will post my livery later (it meets the regs) and will be in #12 if possible.
