Having sampled some of the french gravel i'm hoping it doesnt rain as they are particularly difficult to get out of!

And i swear every version i try of this track has a different sequence of corners after the porsche curves.

That's 'cause they keep changing in real life.

Did my first opening laps here last night to get familiar with the circuit again.
Wowee, the track is gorgeous, looks so real with road traffic signs and usual paraphinalia trackside  ....goosebumps a-plenty !

The long straights can sometimes seem to go on for ever but the whole track layout is very challenging overall and a wide variety of corners and complexes to catch you out. Brilliant race track. 

Not decided whether i will run GT1 or GT2 here yet but i took the RSR out for a few laps and got down to 4:15 so far with im sure a whole ton of time to take off yet with the more laps i do. Rear wing is tricky, i'd assume a low wing for those long old straights but it makes it mighty tricky in the curves with a low wing!    Took me 3 laps to get the gears right !

Shame we cant have an update-able time screen for peoples laps here like the Rolex timer at Le-Mans. Would be good to see peoples laptimes leading upto the event, perhaps we can all keep posting PB's on here ?

Awesome event.

Tried the Lambo and the Saleen round here so far.

3:57 in the lambo
3:50 in the Saleen

Qualifying will be interesting....takes that long to do an out lap there wont be much time left for any mistakes.

[Mark J]

is there any way of rigging up some clever laptime recorder from the server thats running Le Mans as the practise track ?
Wondered if one of you clever nerds IT people could hotwire a little time recorder application into it, like ive seen used at other race leagues.

Could be a cool feature to have for all our race events if you could get it to work. A live timer/session recorder. 

[Busi]

Just done a few laps in the Lambo, low 3:53 was my best.

[H@L9000]

3:50 in the F550. Started the lap with about 30L fuel and ended with about 20L fuel.

Awesome track, one of my all time favourites;D This will be an excellent event and I am really looking forward to it.

[will16v]

Hmmm, i am tempted by this.
Going out for a meal that afternoon, but should be back before the event starts, so count me in 



Just seen the start time - can't make it  :'(

[Minton]

What a track     Love it...Did a 4.10 in the RSR after about 4 laps so im sure theres a few seconds to come off of that and 3.40 in the Maclaren F1 longtail  but i guess that dont count.

[psuedo]

Update: PB now 3:47:3

[Kerr]

I will need to put some practice in for this one as I was well off the times now being posted.      I just found the lambo out of it's depth here. Too many straights exposing it's weaknesses.      I'm thinking of going with something I don't drive just for a change.     Not decided as yet.       Can we maybe have a list of drivers and what class they intend to drive so we can balance the field?

[psuedo]

I will be in the Saleen. As it came dead last in the Super E manufacturers championship.
