To pay tribute to this legendary racing driver, the Titans invite you to revive Ken's memory together for cool 60 minutes race on the Le Mans circuit with these three fabulous cars:

• Ferrari 330 P4 '67
• Ford Mark IV '67
• Jaguar X13 '66

Date and time: Sunday, November 3rd at 6:00 PM CET

• First lap at normal speed in tribute to Ken
• 60 minutes of racing
• BoP applied
• Race hard tires

Feel free to ask questions (if you have any), and to join us sunday on Le Mans circuit!

Yes, exactly. Hop in! Of course, we old farts are a disgrace to Ken Miles and absolutely unworthy of holding this event in his honor.

But. If no one else does it. We Titans are not afraid of a challenge 😎

Regards

Not to be that guy, but Ken never drove the Mk IV GT40. He drove the Mk II version at Le Mans in '66. He was killed testing the "J-car" that never made it past testing. In GT7, the Mk I version would be more faithful to what Ken drove in '66 than the Mk IV.

Technical reasons didn't allow to use GT 40 since its way down on pp with the above trio under BOP .
We are aware of what you wrote but we choose to run without tuning in certain pp to include GT40 .
On the other hand it's a fun race to honour his memory and that's is more than enough ( i guess ) from our side.
After all its a cause to serve the spirit and probably a Ford could not even win in that event which is awkward also.

GREAT event today and quite difficult to accomplish due to darkness but we survived .
@tmtk put " glasses" in fanatec equipment guys with his astonishing performance on a simple controller !!!!

The first and only pitstop i did give me some relief from my right thumb which was like wood after 15 minutes 🥵 .
I start believe that am becoming a demon for @Evilmuffin 🤣 ,i left him space couple of times and he pass me but somehow was in my back again

Great ride from the new guys and as a Greek God i stop at the line to give the place to Marcus who run out of fuel at the very end of the race .

The Cause served and all Titans deserve a bravo for their effort .

You are A meen son of a ( whatever ) 🤣

That's when Duna lost it at night and i follow him and we both made fireworks at the barriers .
And wasn't only that , when i start moving didn't realise where i was and cut out straight on the sand and the barrier 🚧

I only touch muffin and push a bit the right Sandal from behind,other than that Zero , nothing,nada ,τίποτα .

It's so much fun to read our posts from the perspective of a Non-Titan (not knowing about all of our nicknames and running gags).

This person might think:

• Why did this guy follow a Tuna at night into a barrier? Would he also follow Tunas at daylight?
• Why did he damage half of his car just by touching a single muffin.
• And what about the faqin' sandal?!

Titans are a kind of mystery for "normal human beings" 😂🤣😂

Titans language isn't for everybody.
You have to be a member to have the privilege to understand, otherwise is food for thoughts.

What Tuna does in a race track ?
Are muffins so evil ?
Sandals ( with or without socks ) are breaking aids or not ?
