The download link seems to be working OK for me. Make sure you are looking at the LeMans Revived version and not the virtua LM 77/79 version.

My weekend away has been cancelled :( so I hope to race instead :) Be the slower cars for me though.

So long since I've done a race with 1 pitstop, let alone the 10 I'll need with 2xfuel/tyres :P, I had better practice so I know what the switches are!

I'll be in GT2 assuming i can make it. Wont be popular at home considering i will be watching as many hours of the real race all weekend as humanly possible  :)

I have a few questions/suggestions

is it possible to accelerate time in GTR2? (i.e. could we start the race in daylight, then race in darkness, then finish in daylight?)
If so is anyone up for doing it in this race?

i havent decided whether to use LMP2 or GT2, but would like to race in the class with the biggest field, has everyone decided what they will be racing yet?

regards  Stephen

Just did a 4:10 in my GT2, though I suspect there will be more than 5 secs to come off that (especially seeing the lap record! :o)

think I will probably go for GT2 as although I like the lmp2, with limited time to practice I will probably struggle to keep it off the barriers at Lemans

Having spent an hour or two yesterday, then another hour practicing tonight, very gutted to lose connection at the end of lap 1. :(

I'm sure that's happened to me here before too :-\

Enjoy the rest of you, decent turnout too :'(

Race was going well I lost first fairly early on but kept within 20s of the top 2 GT2's but then with about 7 mins left made mistake after mistake eventually went strait on into the wall and race over. Not happy  :censored: :censored: :cursing:

Had to pit twice. :( If Pete and QS only knew...  :D

Grats to all who finished, tough and hot race. Must be like real, eh? ;)

Tried to get out of the way of one LMP2 in quali (blue one), went the wrong way, sorry for that. Hope it was not Spanner (again)...  ::)

I wish we had GT1 here, longed to put my foot down in my Marcos.  :w00t:

We were debating that on TeamSpeak but we reckoned you stopped a lap earlier to brim up and run to the end. Well driven.

Sadly I 'brushed' the wall coming out of the last chicane and it killed the engine just after the hour mark :(

I lost connection again. :(

Totally gutted.

It was shaping up to be a good race for me as well, despite a few early mistakes.
