The Porsche would also never be able to use a V8

Nice recruit Ixion ! Was really quick and consistent in GT1WS ! Keep going guys

you said that was only arguing in LFS ! We love each others !

sounds gay?

Manual clutch on XRR?

@Isaac : Did Mikko have actually tried to eat his paddles while driving?

Looks pretty similar to LFS Stats. Really cool graph, we can really see what was going on in that race Thanks for it !

When I started league racing in LFS, I joined LFS France championship. There protest happen quite rarely. When someone does a mistake, he recognize it and say sorry, I have just failed. And in general that's all, no protest, no flame war and everyone enjoy coming back for next round.

Driving behaviour is quite good there, people aren't blocking or diving like idiots but still some accident occurs as we are all humain being.

Quote from Ramla :

As the guy doing the communication with in-race driver of our car I have other things to keep track of than the flood in the channel. I assume you didn't even read it unless you got highlighted as you had more important stuff as well, so you don't really even know. I imagine F1 team roadies don't broadcast their thoughts on the race on the same frequency as the teams and race organizers and marshals or whatever they're called, pardon my finglish. However, the broadcasters have time to watch ten monitors, listen to radio feeds and hear comments from personnel on the pitlane, they are really in no hurry to see everything in one feed. This should be no exception in esports.

I expected to idle on a channel and if I saw any kind of activity, it would be relevant to at least one team. As it were, one out of maybe 50 lines was relevant to a team.

If I knew what I was facing when I was asked for IRC duty I would have suggested ixion to have a whole IRC crew online at any time. Really, you need to fix this shit for future events.

Fyi , in F1 team radios are public, basically teams have at least three channels :
- pit to pit
- pit to car
- pit to race director

If you weren't happy with irc you could have still listen the race director radio or actually just watched remote. Anyway that's kind of useless and I think you got the point to have several guys on irc . You did a good race gratz and keep going!

Quote from Ramla :

I don't know when this happened, but I was the irc rep most of the time. At first I thought I was in the wrong channel because it was just flooding with chitchat and unimportant commentary. It was very hard to filter important messages from all the bs. At first I didn't have team tag in my nick but my teammates soon suggested to correct my wrong. I wasn't pm'd or highlighted on channel about lag or the penalty for lag contact, so if irc was used to communicate this stuff, organizers are at fault for allowing irrelevant commentary and some childish arguing to flood out all the important stuff. Get a dedicated and moderated channel next time, keep #ndr for offtopic please.

PM...and at that time it was the only topic of discussion

Niki that's not personnal. You aren't responsible of a bad connection. Not really blaming you exept the fact Ixion didn't have an active representative. However just one simple question(not an attack), didn't you realize you were laggy?

Quote from FireMike15 :

One of the most enjoyable events I've driven sofar. It was very high-class racing, everything went fair and gentle for CoRe Racing, overall. Thanks to all teams that were participating. It was a pleasure.

Thanks also to the organisation, it was just an awesome job by everybody there.

CoRe's looking forward to meet you all again on track at South City.

Agree with this ! Hopefully this time my computer will enable me to drive :\

Quote from dekojester :

Big thanks to all who participated and those who tuned in. On-Demand stream links are now in the OP.

Big thanks to you and NDR team for running this awesome event !

sry for the moaning sometimes (NIKI lag), tired + pressure from Tera + Miro emoing on TS : p

Vires engineers have created a new aero settings ! Moost be hax

Nice one !

With LMP2 not being really a success in the US and be a privateer class, I think Audi is more interested in DP as it can have nearly a factory team to do some nice marketing job for the US market.

Audi is probably not interested in the fact DP may be ok to drive in LM as they are keeping going in LMP1 despite Porsche arrival. On the other hand, LMP1 will no longer contest in the US so they can't advertise their product by saying we won Sebring (example). Advertising by saying we won Le Mans can be quite useless as I don't think there is a lot of american that can tell me where Le Mans is in France (probably lot of french can't as well ). Advertise like we won Daytona + Sebring is probably more efficient by far !

the problem is that only F1 got a worldwide coverage in non motorsport or sport channel. Plenty of championship are broadcasted by motors TV for example, but only passionate ppl watch it. For example a championship like GT Open isn't attractive for sponsors.

well I guess the aim of boothy chicane was to save everyone's damper.

Quote from CSF :

DQ for touching the pole once.

Well agree with fram & phil, if the tyres was nearer the pole, no one will cut it ^^

Tbh this pole is only useful for me because it enables you te see the apex. It is easier to see that pole than the white line on the road so you are using it as a reference point. I think that if tyre stack was closer and pole remove no one will actually cut the chicane.

Quote from TFalke55 :

I remember it took the RLM crew about 10 minutes to explain the wave-around completely with all situations like what happens when you're behind the wrong Safety Car and so on.

When European teams go to the US for Petit Le Mans I think the safety car regulation is what take the most time to understand and cause the majority of the questions during the briefing

Quote from PMD9409 :

NASCAR throws a debris cautions and gives us a shootout. Why is this a 24 hour race again?

I love code 80 idea !

I'm not against a SC for 24hours as irl you can have SC in Le Mans for example but wave around isn't fair at all for me. some teams can fight for the win all race long, and in final hour a SC occurs, if this team do a mistake (spun, dt, fail in pits,...) it can finish out of top 10 even if they have produce a strong pace but only did one mistake in last couple of lap. On other side a team with a slower pace can get podium because they got wave around each time they lost a lap and a fast guy driving in last hour. That's not fair at all.

not sure some people may have waited S3 instead of buying s2. Anyway Scirocco was actually in LFS for some show I guess

Well Rallye get no money from spectators, but spectators have to eat, sleep,...so they spend a lot of money for that. That's how Alsace county gets 18,7 millions Euro from french rally in 2012 which is 20 times the money they have invested (this rally was sponsored by local partners including the county itself).

This is the system that Paul Ricard and its country wanna impliment to have teh French GP. You aren't really making money with motorsport related event but having 390,000 spectator for a rally (a lot less in F1 and 250,000 for Le Mans) makes local industry works really well. Le Mans "GDP" is made mainly during Le Mans 24 hours week and french rally is really helpful for Alsace.
