Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: Mark J on June 09, 2013, 01:56:46 PM +0100 Ooh, sexy combo 8) love this track
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: SRW on June 11, 2013, 01:21:12 PM +0100 nice combination, I will probably go for the lmp2
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: APEXTECHUSA on June 18, 2013, 12:49:27 AM +0100 can some one reset the track link please
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: H@L9000 on June 19, 2013, 09:05:57 PM +0100 can some one reset the track link please 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. Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: picnic on June 20, 2013, 12:24:38 PM +0100 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! Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: quicksilver384 on June 20, 2013, 12:26:21 PM +0100 I know what im taking :) :)
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: Mark J on June 20, 2013, 12:53:09 PM +0100 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 :)
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: SRW on June 20, 2013, 01:17:18 PM +0100 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 Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: H@L9000 on June 20, 2013, 01:35:52 PM +0100 I will be in the LMP2 class.
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: quicksilver384 on June 20, 2013, 05:25:40 PM +0100 GT2 for me
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: APEXTECHUSA on June 20, 2013, 07:57:22 PM +0100 thanks download worked I will be in LMP CLASS
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: Legzy on June 22, 2013, 03:16:44 PM +0100 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)
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: spanner on June 22, 2013, 06:06:53 PM +0100 So me turning up having done no practise as i'm watching the real thing probably wont end well then!
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: quicksilver384 on June 22, 2013, 06:35:10 PM +0100 So me turning up having done no practise as i'm watching the real thing probably wont end well then! Get some practice :-) race aint till tomorow night Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: SRW on June 23, 2013, 10:40:21 AM +0100 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
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: Legzy on June 23, 2013, 08:52:46 PM +0100 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 :'( Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: quicksilver384 on June 23, 2013, 09:59:13 PM +0100 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:
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: Truetom on June 23, 2013, 10:16:41 PM +0100 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: Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: picnic on June 24, 2013, 07:34:12 AM +0100 Had to pit twice. :( If Pete and QS only knew... :D 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 :( Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: quicksilver384 on June 24, 2013, 11:35:30 AM +0100 If i knew you had to pit again tt i would have taken it easy lol i was pushing on the limit in the hope that i would catch u up but must have pushed a wee bit too hard lol
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: Truetom on June 24, 2013, 02:41:45 PM +0100 Good stuff, though. You were very quick in that car. :)
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: H@L9000 on June 25, 2013, 02:37:28 PM +0100 Results and replay (https://replay.simracing.org.uk/) now uploaded
Title: Re: UKGTR Season 17 - Le Mans - Jun 23 Post by: H@L9000 on June 25, 2013, 02:40:44 PM +0100 I lost connection again. :(
Totally gutted. It was shaping up to be a good race for me as well, despite a few early mistakes. |
