What happened next...

[Truetom]

Didn't try A15 (mod?), mostly 'cause I don't want to try all the thing that are done, sometimes not done properly and can effect other things on my PC. And, French ... is not my strong language.
I'll do it if you guys think it worthed and necessary.
Even if not, I'll race whatever GTR2 mod we agree on.

I don't have time to trawl the internet looking for what might be the same mod as someone else has & I get the impression each LMP car is a separate download. If we used them are they the same pace as a GT1 car or would it require multi-class racing or have to be run as it's own race each week/fortnight? Can we do an integrated installer for all the cars that make up the mod if not a single package already? Like PnG should it be installed to its own copy of GTR2?

I think we would have to find out where each LMP came from and get permission from the makers before proceeding but meanwhile you can  get the complete package from here http://www.gtweb-live.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=2525&start=0 The LMP1 are quite a bit faster (1.44's at Bruno) with LMP2 a wee bit quicker (1.47's in the brilliant Radical) than GT1 but easier to drive. I guess it would have to be only LMP given numbers attending recently but racing GT1 with these cars would be great, for me.

Again, early doors but it would be great to get some feedback before it gets any further. Please try them first mind

Thanks for the link SbG. In the process of downloading the 312MB now.

I am having trouble navigating GTweb live web site. Its trying to tell me something when I try to register but, I have no idea what.

I will have another look later.

I have tried a few different LMP cars before and in some ways they are easier than GT1 cars 'IF' you have a half decent setup. If not then the cars can be very unforgiving and twitchy as hell causing unexpected and uncontrollable spins. How about uploading some setups SBG to help with trying out the cars?

In my opinion, LMP cars are allot of fun and I would totally be up for some of that.

The boggo setups with brake balance shifted 55/45 and maximum revs worked ok for me. Sure it will go faster with tweaking but they are a lot easier to drive than the MC12 for example like that. The only slightly tricky ones are the dirty diesels which replicate the massive torque available on tap nicely. Maybe the people who packed this version up made the setups nicer? Please shout if you/anyone is struggling and I'll upload what I've done, most of my testing has been at Brno.

I see. I probably would have mainly tried diesels before.

Maybe the people who packed this version up made the setups nicer?

I am even more keen to try it out now.

Thanks for the info SBG.

cool, LMPs would be interesting as long as they dont require tons of set up like an F1 car would. Great to see some new class action on track. Lets go multi-class as ALMS !    Just dont drop the GT2 class out of racing, its still the most fun.

I'm glad everyone is enthusiastic but lets be realistc, multi class cant be an option unless we get the entrants up.

I've seen enough addons over the years to be instantly sceptical. Setups will be key for these cars.

One class, LMP. I'd argue that introducing something new is the only way to get entrants up/reignite interest. Not saying this mod is it mind but is there any other way forward?

Fine but at least try this mod before dismissing it  I'm trying it and not finding setups that crucial.

Lets treat this "GTWeb LMP" as Plan A then, for what we might use if enough people try it & give it a thumbs up.

I'm going to register & download shortly myself.

(p.s. There will not be multi-class races this coming season as we just don't have the required numbers currently)

[Legzy]

Just to check... now I'm registered... is it the link called "Full of Sepang 24H mod v2.0" (located HERE) ?

It is 312mb

[goldtop]

That's the one Legzy.

I've tried most of the LMP1 and 2 cars and they are all very driveable. As SBG says, they're not that setup dependent although I would guess there is speed to be found by tweaking them. Generally they don't seem as on the edge as some of the GT cars and personally, I feel more "in" them. I don't think anyone would be disappointed with them.

Edit: Just noticed there is a setups pack download for Sepang towards the bottom of the GTWeb download page.

I hated the LMP1 cars I tried I was quicker in the LMP2 which felt ok (Radical). Not convinced yet.

Edit: Should add that these cars have the random engine health at the start of the race that Dave has eliminated from our cars here.

Oh hell, 18kb/s download rate. Havent needed a download manager for ages.
