what strategy did the jaguar's use

I used medium/hard/hard/hard, but I should have done the same as spurgy and just used medium tyres the whole time. We were getting 11-12 laps on the mediums.

7 laps on mediums, after 3 spins, doing 1:35 to 1:37's.
then 11 lap stints more or less on Hards, doing 1:35 to 1:38's. My best comeback ever.

And good to have C2 cars in, traffic made it interesting.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

don't you mean 1.30's furi, i was on hards the whole race and did 11 lap stints as i was ruining the mediums after around 5 laps

Yep. And a good show for Ferrari as well. Spa is next, traditionally a Jag and Ford track.

Also, Le Mans is to be shifted around to before the Targa Florio so it is the same day as the actual finish of the 24 hours.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

brilliant race for me and was only 2 laps down compared to last season where i was around 5 laps down

 

[Niop]

I started on Hards and pitted on lap 12. Ran Mediums from there on out pitting on lap 21, 29, 38, 47.

 

[Akmuq]

Sorry guys had phone call, and not gonna lie, wanted to put full concentration into watching the Indy Car

Pfft, lap 25 I started going 150MPH on the grass texting.

56 laps / 200 miles / 42 laps to be classified.

Monza, the very mention name conjures up images of speed and glory. 200 miles on a Monza without the first chicane, meaning nearly a whole minute is spent flat out around this historic track. Speed and concentration will be the goal for victory in this historic race.

:Also planning ahead to S3. Seems C2 is a more popular class now than C1... maybe thinking of cutting C1 down and expanding C2:

Fastest C2 Lap – RFLX Niop 1:35.2

My fastest time was 1:40 in his draft, couldn't even hang with it. Alone my best was 1:42 & at pace was 1:43-1:44. Maybe the Camaro could have a supercharger

Maybe. Or Vette restricted. The other C2's were doing 1:37's.

 

[cgr-10]

I did point out pre-race that the Challenger has about 650bhp and the Camaro has about 480.

~REVISED RESULT FOLLOWING AKMUQ's DISQUALIFICATION, PTS WILL BE UPDATED LATER~
​

Also looking at making Targa Florio narrower.

 

[Matty]

Akmuq had a supercharger? Okay then I get a podium

 

[Furinkazen]

Yeah and to be honest we are both baffled how. But the redline on the gauges in the replay gave it away.

Anyhow going to watch a blu-ray tonight, Le Mans, the restored edition.

 

[rustyMercedes]

you can also tell by the sound of his car which sounds nothing like the other Challengers

and I'm sure akmuq has no idea how that supercharger got on there...

Akmuq's not a cheat, he will be allowed back for next race at Spa.

I was mostly joking with my comment, hey it worked out for me, 2nd place

 

[Akmuq]

I don't even have the supercharger bought...:/

I also didn't have the Race Exhaust attached.(Bought this RM before that bug was fixed)

604BHP I was running with last night, it gets 650ish with the Exhaust and no Supercharger.

As to why the car is running with a totally different RPM rate compared to the others then. Ak, send it to me and I will have a look. 👍

EDIT: Watching "Le Mans" makes me want to race these cars even more

Will send tomorrow, oh, and in response to earlier, I don't have the replay saved.
I don't suppose transmission setting have anything to do with it, as you may have seen my awful start yesterday, due to a tranny trick, which would change the sound of the car at certain revs I'd assume. As for the red line, did Frasier have any engine upgrades missing, or a different specification of upgrade, I had everything on except for supercharger and Racing Exhaust.

Maybe Racing Exhaust the reason 💡 ? Either way I will look tomorrow.

My engine is fully broken in which might make some difference in redline, I have everything installed except supercharger. No racing exhaust explains why your car was so quiet.

I also change my gear ratios pretty dramatically from stock, so my final drive and ratios would most likely be very different from the other Dodges'.

akmuq I was watching the replay and we were turning very similar lap times, but completely different sector times, I was sometimes as much as a second up on you in the first sector but you were always faster in the second sector and usually the third. If I had made fewer mistakes we would have had an interesting battle.

 

[Chqr]

Really good relaunch here, Furi.

Healthy turnouts, apparent clean racing and lots of action in both classes now.

Couldn't make Monza because I was rebuilding my Lego Star Wars Collection. Yes, I act, drive and live like a ten year old.

I look forward to Spa.

 

[Furinkazen]

Akmuq's car seemed to be under-specced with a semi racing exhaust. He has been reinstated.

Apologies for all the confusion its caused of late with this... Spa this weekend will run with changeable weather.

When room opens weather will be 50%, changeability 10, surface water 20%.
