oh my oh my....906/8 at le Mans  Goldtop, how can you not peddle this car around LM ? Thought it was one of the easier cars to drive in P&G, its finding those extra tenths that will really push it ! |

I really wonder sometimes if the P&G cars behave differently on some peoples PCs than they do on others. I know in theory this shouldn't be the case, but like Goldtop I find the 906/8 really difficult to drive. My problem is getting it to stop in a straight line, every time I apply the brakes it just heads straight for the barriers as though only one front brake is working. Anyone else have this problem?

I had lots of similar problems with the Langheck.
As far as the 906/8 is concerned I moved the brake balance forward and all was then sweetness and light.

OK Clive, I've tried that & it makes little difference. I got a bit of improvement by setting the front toe-in to 1.5, but I'm still having to brake very gently to keep the car under control. Daytona Cobras are easily outbraking me into Mulsanne Corner. At the moment I think I too will have to give this race a miss as I don't want to ruin someone else's race when I lose it under braking.  I am going to keep working on it though. |

Up the coast &/or rear toe a few notches Geoffers & you could also reduce the braking % (i.e. from 100% to 90%). Upping the front roll-bar/bump could help as would reducing the rear roll-bar/rebound. I've not looked, but might be worth lowering the rear end if you can? Good luck.  |

Currently at 4:08.224 and I'm happy to report that the soft tyres last to the end of the race.

The Christmas special we did here, had been a wrong version of Le Mans (in the cogs that make this system turn) so I've just corrected it & now you can see the lap records achieved. Looking at the race, API & Lazlow (Go Team Oldie!  ) were both in the 906-8 & had fastest laps of 4:10... so you will likely be very competitive with a 4:08 (though I guess they were carrying full tanks & hard tyres  ) |

The soft tyres last well though. |

I didn't check to see if the 906/8 will go 9 laps on fuel. Has anybody got fuel milage numbers??

Starting with a full tank, I had 21.1 ltr left after nine laps Mike. Enough for 2.4 laps.

Sorry, I'm of the opinion this is the same year version as the Xmas one, am I wrong?  |
