Hope this is as good as the iR combo, looking forward to trying this out 8)

4 points difference before the last race. Grand finale. :)

not looking forward to this 1 lol

Sorry guys im not gonna be on this sunday had to goto my sisters for a couple of nights while she is down south. hopefully home on tuesday

any pointers on setting these LMP cars up for a track like Laguna would be appreciated. I just spent an hour blasting around without making hardly any time improvements at all, no matter what wing configs i tried. 3 front seems to make the car oversteer, 2 wing gives it poor understeer, even with a very soft front ARB  ???  Rear wing seemed no different from 9 - 13.

Stuck on 1:17's with half hour race fuel onboard, but saw the AI doing 1:13/14.  :(

I have been doing mid 1.15s in the Lola with max splitter and wing which is 4 - 15 I believe.

That was my setup for Mid Ohio. See if you have some better feelings in it, but as you know, I'm not a good car engineer ;) => http://www.gamefront.com/files/21181002/Porsche+RS+Spyder+UK+GTR.svm (http://www.gamefront.com/files/21181002/Porsche+RS+Spyder+UK+GTR.svm)

I started with my Mid Ohio setup. Never start from scratch anymore always start from the last race.

Laguna setup (with right gear ratio) =>http://www.gamefront.com/files/21182028/Porsche+RS+Spyder+UK+4-15.svm (http://www.gamefront.com/files/21182028/Porsche+RS+Spyder+UK+4-15.svm)

After 15 laps of training I managed a 1.14.5 in race trim, but I was in  Practice 1 session, so I guess I will be able to do some high 13's when the car will be a bit lighter during the race ;). No qualif laptimes yet.
Cu tomorrow guys :)

Thanks for the setups Manteos, will give them a try later on. This is the first time i have driven the LMP's, so its a big help  :)

Should be ok for this but no chance to pracci until this evening. I always find Laguna very difficult, so can't see that changing in these cars.

hmm, i think my old brain cant cope with the speeds required with these cars  :-[  Took half a sec off my pb but still stuck in the 17's  :(
Will have to be content with being a backmarker  :surrender:

You did race at Lime Rock Mark, you cant use the newb excuses!

Ah forgot i had done a race in these.  After tonights performance i can see why i forgot too  :-[  One too many trips to the kitty litter combined with a hot room, headache and these screechers, i retired. :(

wow that was an exciting race! it is so hard to concentrate for 70 mins while driving these cars. i managed to get a couple of hours praccy for this race and was starting to feel quite confident and doing consistent laps without making mistakes. i was in a tight battle with nsfast, i built up a little buffer as he made the odd mistake, but then lost it during my pitstop as i was a bit conservative with the fuel and took on more than i needed. he was right on my tail keeping the pressure on until a couple of mins from the end when he made a mistake and i got a 10 sec gap.i am looking forward to the forthcoming european GTC/LMP2 series, it seems to work well doing the GTC's first then the LMP2's on the same track the week after

Nice race for me. :)

I had a big chase all race long with TT. He was in front before the pits and I was in front after the pits.

I had a good battle with SRW as well towards the end, I found it very difficult to pass. Nice driving mate. Sorry about the tap when I did make the move. :(

Unlucky Matteo. Well done TT for the recovery of a tank slapper on lap 9. I did the exact same on lap 32 or 33 ish. :D

Well done on the championship TT. It does not get much closer than that. ;D

Thanks for racing this season all. I have loved the cars and have had some great fights. Awesome!

Congrats on the win H@L 8)
Congrats on the Drivers Championship TT :euro:

Congrats on the Team Championship Team Oldie :-* ;D (well done to Maneos & Jose for sealing that in the last couple of races)

Well done for organising it all too H@L, thanks.

Holy COW! :o
Had it in my mind "Have to beat H@l to win the Championship". Well, math was never my strong side... ::) YAY, I won the Championship! :jumpjoy:

Damn! A never ending quali-race for me ;D

I started from the pole with an unexpected amazing time, but as it happens too often to me, I did a huge mistake, putting 2 tyres on the gravel in the left hander after the corkscrew at the 2nd lap... stupid Manteos!

The result was a puncture to my right tyre, and aero damage for 12 seconds, that I immediately repaired with a pit stop. I reset my mind, and I started to push as a devil for the rest of the race, gaining almost a second every lap by the leading duet. Unfortunately when I leaved the pit, the gap was over 1 min, and I knew that it would have been quite impossible to replace it, but I didn't give up til the end. Lap after lap I was managing a great pace, til I met some other drivers to fight with. Great duels with every driver I met on my road, with only a small contact with srw. I don't know if my manouvre was a bit overambitious, but I guess that I was just side by side on the inside line in that corner, so probably I was only a bit rude during the braking, but fair in my opinion, cause I kept my car on the inside line. However I must check the replay, and in case I was wrong I apologize right now :-\
In the last part of the race, I had some funny moment with Apex ;D I always found his car spun in the corscrew downhill, without any chance to avoid him, for about 3 times in 10-15 laps... It seems we had a magnet on our cars  ;D ;D After these contacts, the car was less drivable, but it didn't changed the history of my race. Probably I would have been able to see TT car during the last laps, but without any chance to attack him. It would have been a real fun to mingle in the battle, cause I could become the judge of the champ gaining the second position on TT. As ever, we will never know it, and your battle was the right end of this season ;) Good Job guys :)

Grats to TT for the championship, and H@l for 2nd... that was really close  ;D
I'm happy with my 3rd place considering I had jumped 2 races, and I'm still more happy for the Team Championship ;D Well done Oldies!!! ;)

Thanks to all the people who joined the series. I love prototypes since my first races with the German guys of Pilsbierbude, and they had always produced a great show on the track. I hope you will keep it for the next season of GTR2 :)

Thanks to H@l for organizing this series :)

Cu soon guys :)

I'd like to thank all who participated in driving and organizing these races and making this Championship something special. This mod lifted GTR2 to the next level I think, at least I find it a great addition. Well done H@l for obtaining proper permissions and of course for organizing the whole thing. :)

Looking forward to driving these cars again.

Congrats on winning the Drivers championship TT !, Great result, well deserved against strong opposition  :thumbup1:

I thought i would really enjoy the LMp's but so far, i've just not got into them. I think ive spent too many years now driving the GT cars and they are where i am comfortable at. I'll leave these fast cars to you fast guys...as it should be  :)  Multi-class would be nice, though i understand grids are far too small nowadays. How about teaming up with another league as suggested by several in the p&G forum? It could boost numbers nicely.

Long live the king....  ;D

any news on this sundays race yet? any chance of GT1's at the Goldenport circuit used in the 2011 championship, i downloaded it from no-grip recently
