Well i'm be more looking forward to the week before Wink

Think i'll try out the Lola this time with all the talk last time about how tricky it is!

Err not really the time or place but do we have to go with a 2pm virtual start? how about a 10am or 5pm time? would be nice to have more atmospheric times and hopefully be a bit darker, sun rise , sun set,  nice looking skies etc

Agreed. I will do a few off line sessions to see what would be a good alternate start time.

I thought these were going to be 80min races? If so could we please reduce the practise or qually time to ensure a standard finishing time?

70 min races.

1st post updated.

We did not alter the practice or qualy session lengths in the past, just ended the race later. We could start everything 10 mins earlier if everyone is happy with that.

Not sure yet if i will contest the LMP2 series, i really havent run any laps in them to tell if i can cope with the frantic pace and prefer being a GT pilot, though spa certainly would have gave me the inspiration to try. Alas i am away on hols for this round so will miss it anyway  :'(

Have a good 'un amigos. Im off to annoy the italians...again Smiley

Normally why i'm still struggling and getting frustrated as i'm way off pace till about a week before the race starts as it finally starts working!

LMP's require alot more concentration for me as everything is happening quicker!

I was just looking at all the files for UKGTR LMP2 Porsche Spyder and the GTWeb Porsche Spyder from those 2 races we just did (GT Web mod V2). They are pretty much the same. The only difference is the fuel and pitstop settings and BodyDragBase=(0.23) in GTWeb V2 instead of (0.21) in UKGTR version in the .hdc file. You should hardly be able to notice that at all. The cars are essentially the same. Driving the UKGTR version will be the same as driving the GT Web version.

The UKGTR LMP2 car files are taken straight from the GT Web Sakhir 24Hr race mod, with permission of course. Thanks GT Web. Smiley

Then it must be the car. Porsche felt totaly unstable for me in GTWeb race and opposite goes for Lola in our Championship. So porker is a no-no for me. Undecided

We will be doing a 18:00 Hrs virtual start time.

1st Post updated.

I tried a few different start times and this one seemed the best to me. Lots of atmosphere but, not much loss of visibility. There will be some heavy sun at the end of the main straight, but that should only be for the formation lap. The sun is so low that it goes behind the horizon by lap 2 during practise runs and it should be the same for the race. It will just be starting to get dark by the end of the race but, again, no real loss of visibility. Apexs and brake markers etc are still visible at the same distance that they would be in day time (just about). The use of car lights is still recommended to help drivers see each other on the track.

The server is currently set to have full day time practise with a 5 min race using a virtual start time of 18:00 so you can check out the visibility for yourselves.

Indeed. I also found the Lola far easier to drive than the other 2 cars. I am going to try the Radical this season though.

Some tips for driving the LMP2 cars:
- Very precise and minimal steering input (turn the wheel as little as possible especially at high speed).
- Using paddle shift will help a lot.
- Try all 3 of the cars in case you find one of them suits you more.

I have so far managed a lap time of 2.05 with almost Maximum wing settings. Dont lift when going through Eau Rouge. I think I could go faster by lowering the wing at little and still be full throttle through Eau Rouge.
