Race 2 Le Mans Bugatti

Round 2 of the Porsche Super Cup takes place en France, and in particular the Le Mans Bugatti track.

It isn't the best circuit in France, in fact it isn't the best circuit in Le Mans, but it should provide our Porsches with an entertaining and competitive race.

I REALLY (and I mean REALLY!!!) hope we don't repeat what happened at T2 on lap 1 in yesterday's BREASTS race! The WHOLE field went off, I honestly don't think I've ever witnessed something like that, LOL. It's worth making a video of.  

[maddog]

I enjoyed watching your valiant efforts, at imitating a bulldozer, Hristo.  I'm often puzzled by the pregnant pause displayed by some cars, following an unexpected off.

I suck harder than a Dyson at this track. Me and the Porsche are like Fred Astaire and Ginger...

...Spice.

Just can't get the speed round the corners. Too cautious too slow but when I try to hold speed I spin. Hopeless. I have practised for this and I can do between high 1:46 and 1:49. Really frustrating. Don't really care about the times but I just can't seem to get the hairpins right.

High 46's means you're only 3 secs off my pace! Couldn't get below 43 today, maybe I'll be in better shape tomorrow.

The thing to remember here Paul is that every corner, which is also quite slow, is followed by a VERY long straight. So, you have to gear everything up for the exit of the corner. Stay on the middle or outside of the track untill the last 1/3 of the corner, driving carefully, then aim for a straight line out of the corner, hitting both the apex and outer white line of the track. Remember that when you get better exits out of corners, you will also have to start braking earlier for the next corner because you are carrying more speed.

Cheers Tommie. I know (in theory) what to do - I'm just physically incapable of making my hands, feet and eyes work in co-ordination the sympathy is appreciated though!

Just look at where you want to go instead of where you think you are going and you'll be fine

Tommie.

[blito]

Ive been getting low 44's with between 5 and gallons of fuel.. Like TVO said, its all about the exit from the hairpins... I'm loving this track!

[BadBlood]

I'm trying... I really am <sob>

Are we all going to be driving in white cars tonight, or are teams colour coded in some way?

Just concerned that I should/could have a different opinion of how to drive if one of my team mates is behind/in front of me. I don't mean I'm taking you out if you aren't my teamie, just don't want to have a post race Vettel/Webber Turkey 2010 type conversation...

[BadBlood]

We are helpfully all in white
