Great test tonight guys... Really good turn out and some rather useful data for everyone.... So the next challenge will be Saturday for the real thing!!!!
 
I'm still amazed that I was able to do the entire practice race on one tank of fuel. Soft tires are probably the tire compound to run at night for sure.

I think you might be right on that one, think im looking at doing a similar thing
 
Successful training, but has not yet set a car. Preparations for the race just in front of me;) As for the movies of the races I have an idea, but I do not know how the capabilities of its implementation. It would be good to before the film was shown grid, while on the other hand interesting duels with signatures - for example, PSN-ID, flag and car the possible inscription f.e. "fight for 2nd position" and at the end of the final results and awarded points. it would be fun to throw a few on-board cameras :)

See you at the most important race of the WEC series :)
 
So tonight is the big night!!!

Please all be on track at the latest 30 mins after the count down timer finishes

If you are not in the lobby by that time you will not be allowed to race as spec check will have started, also you will not be allowed to go into the settings menu during or after spec check or you will be DQ'ed for cheating!!!!

Good test the other day lads, should be a good start to the season round Le Man, i'm dredding racing for 3 hours tho, it will be my longest race on GT. I was getting fatigued on last seasons race lengths :scared:, gonna need a few cans of Redbull during the race I think.

Memto my viper is still lacking grunt on the straights, even with your setup on it with 40/40 DF, I tried lower front DF and its still way behind most other cars, I cant get anywhere near the Nissan. that 3.58 I did in the test was with a massive slipstream all the way round, most other laps on the softs in clean air was over the 4min mark. Maybe next week if I set my viper to online you can have a look at it for me memto?, just to check ive got everything right, it still has very good cornering speed, so I'll just have to keep driving it like a Redbull I suppose, cya tonight 👍
 
The time goes by surprisingly quickly, especially so if you're in a battle for a while. Just make sure you go to the loo before hahaha

LMP drivers get lucky, since we get through most of a tank per stint that's like a minute 30 stationary, plenty of time for a slash and dash.
 
Hi, just got a message from my sister to have no connection to the Internet at home :/ I come back from work I will try to somehow quickly start it :/ if fails it does not appear just because you do not I will have to give you the know. good luck friends

Alright mate, good luck trying to get it working ;)
 
"Medium tyres Must be used for a minimum of 40mins of a race."


Once or during the race?

How long will last qualified?

once you are on medium tyres you much complete 40 mins on them, so you cant switch from med to soft to meds again.... tbh it is possible to do 40 mins on one set of meds anyway ;)

and quli will be hopefully 20 mins depending on how long the spec check takes

In our practice the other night I raced with you for the first couple laps and found the Camaro to be very similar to the Viper as far as top end goes. However, in order to keep up with the Viper I had to remove ALL down force on the Camaro so if you're running those speeds with down force on your car, you're better off than I. I agree with you about catching or keeping up with others ... it's very difficult. My lap times are typically 4:03 to 4:05's.

Yeah your Camaro certainly was quick on the straights, during the practice race I was running 30 front DF, 40 rear which is minimum. Its ok if im in a draft, so im probably gonna be draft hunting on the straights, lol. I might try a different strategy.

memto can we use mediums for more than 1 40min stint yeah?
 
10 mins till spec check.... if you do not make it to Spec check then you will be barred from racing
 
I thought I'd put my message up here out of the way: I parked it as I was making too many mistakes to feel comfortable with other drivers around. My phone went off on the parade lap which caused the run wide and then it just got worse as I got more frustrated. I hope my connection holds, but if I do drop, its not a rage quit - I was parked from lap 2

Good luck and hope the next one goes better
 
Great race to night everyone.... Gonna have a full brief about the race hopefully by Monday night along with points and penalties... Congratulations to everyone who made it to the end, I know it was a hard way to start the season off but we did it!!!
