16th Jul 2017 - 2.4H of Le Mans - Crossover with PRD and AOR (2 Viewers)

Hi everyone, just a reminder that we have a 'Community Events' area for organizing member run events. Everyone is more than welcome to advertise a session they're running, and add it to the site's calendar when plans are set. You can host anything at all, as long as you follow the guidelines.

Cheers!

Next official practice is Sunday at 5pm UTC (6pm BST), other than that, I think some of us may host random practice sessions. As for lap times, I'm not too worried about being off pace, since I've been consistently doing 3:42/3:43, the consistency will probably pay off more in the long run

 

[Jamesl91]

True, fast times arnt highly important but still with a decent setup you should be able to do quick laps too.

I'm happy with my pace, I just need to settle the car over a long run.

I will be testing tonight so there will be a lobby up around 6pm GMT. Usual password etc.

First chance to drive the GTE this afternoon to decide what I will drive for the event. Blimey, they are like driving a barge on wet lino. Couldn't get a decent view out of the Aston so have gone with the Corvette.

 

[2scoops]

Driven the Vet for a while and the car does stuff that I can't figure out what it's doing, my setup is going to be all over the place. I'm only doing 4.00's, it's hardly worth turning up

Tonights test session

 

[2scoops]

I'm only joking. I've tried a Le Mans setup from their and it's horrible. I'm just working through things step at a time, be good to have a target time other than 3.52. It's the chicanes that are killing me.
 
Race conditions would be good too.

 

[Jamesl91]

that seems to be the best way, just playing with setup. they are a bit tricky. its Indianapolis im struggling with the most.

I have added that in as i will be running race conditions tonight with the exception of weather as that is unknown but it will be set to light cloud tonight

 

[Tom]

be good to have a target time other than 3.52.

A quick human's time would be 3:55/6's with fuel, although Bullett did something silly like a 3:53 last Sunday.

 

[ART Stiggles]

That man is clearly... A bullet.

I'm sorry, I'll see myself out

[Topsie]

Hopefully I will join later. Will only get home 7:30 ish though

Unfortunately I am going to have to pull out of this one, something that was planned for this weekend has been moved to next weekend so I won't be home when this happens. Good luck everyone who does compete!

Hi James, how are you? Please could you provide me password so I can join you. I am new to this. Many thanks

 

[Cluck]

Ranj1977 - Just so that you are aware, you will need to pass through our induction process and attain at least a Yellow badge before you can take part in any of our races. There is nothing to stop you taking part in a private session with James of course but, until we have assessed your driving, I think it would be unwise to join a server where our members are practicing for a very important race. I hope you understand
