Like Fuji, patience will be required for this one. The Langneck is a difficult car to drive which is why it doesn't get any love. I've always wanted to try it, but it would never be competitive unless everyone uses it. So, this is your opportunity to try it. Hopefully I won't get flamed too much for bringing it out of the garage. I've been working on a setup to stabilize the back end. I'll post my setup once I'm finished with it (expect it over the weekend).
Enjoy the event guys. Practice that patience.

Hello guys, sorry if I interfere, just wanted to warn you that the Porsche 906 Langheck is the only 906 that has several problems and bugs that make it very difficult driving and will perhaps be solved with the next version of the P & G. If I may, I would suggest to use any 906 but not this. Greetings Giuseppe

Giuseppe has a point. We could stage a race in the Langheck when version 3 comes out, which sounds like it is should be soon. Sorry for the stop/start, but let's switch to the 906/8 for this round and try the Langheck at a later point. I'm sure I can find a tasty track for it. Is the old version of hockenheim floating around?
Car selection has changed to the 906/8.

The Langheck is certainly an awful contraption. When I finally stopped it from hitting the Armco I could only manage a 4:23, about ten seconds off the AI in the normal 906. The difference was in the Porsche curves. The Langheck didn't want to know them.

I've raced the GTL version of this GTR2 '99 layout a few times http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=4702

Only an hour?? I spent three hours trying to sort the Langheck and then it was cancelled!!!
Come on Tudor, let's have some true grit!
I blame that mankey team that you joined. Obviously giving you no support or encouragement.
The SBRC baseline setup has been emailed to the faithful as of this evening. All you have to do is sign for SBRC and all your troubles are over. (sort of)
I'm not saying that the Porsche Curves are easy but at least I can now do a few laps without binning it.
4:10.0xx at the minute but there is another half second in the first sector that I keep throwing away in the rest of the lap.
Seeing 277kph with chin on the tank. Anyone getting any better.
Getting some nasty black triangles appearing on the screen when it starts to get dark. There is something about Le Mans, as soon as you start practicing it starts getting dark!

Never gotten as far as Porsche Curves Clive I just think it takes soooooooo long to sort these cars out to a point where I'm remotely competetive, that by the time it comes to race them I'm bored with the whole thing. I still recall the Christmas enduro here where I spent hours practicing in the 906E only to be punted into the bales at the end of Mulsanne on lap 2 by a GT40, closely followed by a disco I'm afraid the effort/time/fun equation is just out of balance for me . By "...that mankey team", are you by chance referring to "...that mankey team" who are second in both PnG champs and running away with both GTL champs at the mo

No point in having a sideboard full of silverware if the needs of the team members are being ignored. Here at SBRC we strive to ensure that all the team are obtaining the maximum amount of enjoyment from their racing. For example, Stig has started a web based repository for all of our setups so that we can access them when needed and not waste days struggling on our own.
