At the end of the day I predict less SC in the 24hours of KY2R than in the 24hours of Le Mans

What is dangerous with SC is ppl acting like Perrazzini...

Well I have just a small one, overall these series are awesome, but please don't restart an endurance race for 5 minutes :s

#02 update

Police want to see the video to know how the tracks were limited and if the fact MSC wasn't on a safe track well visible. If not, Mirabel ski station could be judge as responsible of this incident which may change drastically things for insurances...

#63 update

u all wrong, rolling is future !

Quote from IMOL :

Diffrence is, some are not real racing drivers hello? Dont compare us to Le Mans man Expecially from teams below top10 it might be difficult to learn it properly, without any mistakes...

Tomek I swear you would be faster in Le Mans track that some gentlemen driver that manage to be 30s off pace in LMP2! And LFS is a lot easier than a real car and tracks!

Please don't say that there isn't enough time to test that layout. In real life there is only 2 hrs practise session for an ELMS race and even in Le Mans there is only 12hrs (which is actually not long at alĺgiven the fact you have one car, 3 drivers, 50% rain, 50% night and 7-8red flag) of testing before the race, starting on wednesday. That chicane will not change drastically setups anyway...and there is only one corner to learn.

well to be honest the rush is pretty much done now. If he isn't dead yet and survive the night he should be fine. The only question is will he remember who he is? That would be quite dramatic to be a seven times World Champion, everybody recognizing you and you can't remember what ppl are talking you about.

It will take some times to recover and he may stay quite a long time in coma, only to recover faster

Facing death at 300km/h and being so badly injured in skiing :s

Hope he will walk away but last news aren't really going that way

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :

my serious POV on the last chicane. I do like the old one. It's fast and exciting. Also it made me crash every fast hotlap I tried on the public server, simply because those tires spread on track, and that is unavoidable and time killing at 200 kph. Also I prefer the new one, simply because it's something new.

also on the "to heavy for my pc" thing. Put your lfs on lower settings. If you still have a problem, then it's time to sell your atari.

There has been 4 or 5 24hrs races at As5, 6h races in IGTC ans GT1WS...I haven't seen so many crash there. That's a hard corner and you have to do it right that's it.


Anyway I quite like this version.This corner is still technical but another way.you still have to get a good like as now traction on exit is critical. So instead of being an high speed awesome chicane, that is a slow corner which is a safe overtaking opportunity where you struggle for traction on exit. Yesterday we eventually took it 3 wide !

Personally i like both version, the normal one is a bit more dangerous, this one can creates lag tho but in the end both are challenging

Quote from dekojester :

That would be because I refuse to allow /canreset for podium pictures, I mean seriously, does the Le Mans 24 hour car get polished, detailed, fixed in .5 second before the podium ceremony? I THINK NOT!

Actually Corvette Racing washed his winning car before the end of the race for their two first victories in Le Mans :P That took about a lap in the pit garage though

I'm still thinking that some teams would be faster in FZR in gt2...FZR have never been completely slow Tomek. If you look back in gt2ws in 2012 only spdo and ineX were racing in XRR, everyone else was having FZR and at the end of the day, FZR won at BL1R and SO4 which were the two previous rounds and those car pace were faster than most of the teams this season.

That's actually exactly the contrary of the situation few years ago in MoE everyone in GT2 was racing FZR. Some top teams switched to XRR and suddenly everyone else is switching to XRR and no one is using FZR anymore. Thanks god GT1 is different and in that class you can see that both cars are pretty balanced. Of course XRR is faster at some place (WE1R, BL1R) but FZR is better at SO4 and seems to be better at AS6.

Well done Cq and Arco !

Well Vires has entered a GT1 in first round, and without that last hour SC period it would have won the race with Dennis and Tomek racing (ok 3id got a DC but that's racing, we eventually rolled in last 2laps last race). Vires finished 2nd last season in GT1WS which actually means in front of Dennis's teams, so I don't see why we would be afraid of Dennis. That's also called facts.

Vires GT1 car isn't racing since round 2 simply because the line up which was supposed to be Niki, Matias, Maddee, Sean and James can't race. People have life and sometimes things happens that makes video games secondary. Maddee just moved and setted in his own flat, James is at uni and Matias broke his anckle or something like that. So only original GT2 line up (#54 composed mainly of myself and Adam) can race in last two rounds, #63 being using as a development car at SO and later for my little brother and intre that need some practise while #58 is for those that haven't understood the old Stig Breeding programm as some of those drivers have joined Vires.

And about the level in gt2, yeah it is definitely lower than in 2012 but it is important to note that top teams disappeared exept vires. So in SO we were the only team that matched GT2WS 2012 pace (need to correct tracker avg with traffic) but if you take the other teams average, they have actually improved.

Quote from Bmxtwins :

Why not force all newly registered teams that havent raced a round yet to race GT1 by mandatory. For example, Rest of the World.

Just cap the GT2 signups for now.

Depend who are the drivers of that teams. If there are newbies that is better they start with GT2 to gain experience and prevent situation where top gt2 are faster than slow gt1.

In the end experienced drivers shouldn't be allowed in gt2. That should actually be like an AM class where line up should include only "AM" drivers and max one "PRO". (i know vires is having an all pro line up but we were supposed to have also a strong gt1 line up)

Quote from xtraction :

I don't know if many other teams do this, but from my first race for nFinity and every race for vires, we had someone else on team speak staring at remote and keeping the driver updated every half a lap if need be, seriously makes a difference and keeps you aware.

Especially at 3a.m in a 24hrs race

Yeah Dennis that's racing, and that's definitely something unfair, but at the end of the day, that is also the most addictive drug on earth. Everytime it hurts you you ask some more.

I kind of agree with Sean. Obviously you did some good job with drivers from car 52, car 62 bing also in the mid-field pace but to be honest in my first stint yesterday I touched one time really the wall and that was because of car 72. Then I think he spun twice in front of Kristi,...i think that is just too early for them. To be racing an endurance race at SO you should be able to do one full stint without mistakes in practise. Ofc in race shit can happen, even Adam that was the fastest guy with GT2 did one at the worst possible moment but that should happen three times in 10laps.

@Deko : you are sure you wanna re run the tracker? I like the results it shows atm or just take the results before the last SC and forget the last 5mins mess I would be happy with it as well (joking ofc)

Still can't believe what happened in penultimate lap sad to lose that stupidly 9 pts and championship lead while the race was perfect so far :|

Quote from Mustangman759 :

unsure MoMo thought you guys had a car roll over in the first few laps. Mb if not but I could also draw on Cq's flips in past races lol. We just didnt have a good race this time

Well we had a rolled car in first lap and last lap, nearly did one full race if we add both car contribution

Quote from BlueFlame :

@vires

If your GT2 car had a 2lap lead then Why did he care about maintaining any sort of pace against that GT1 then? That's what I don't understand. 2lap lead your boy could have gone the last lap at 0.5 mph

That's a good point and Adam should have probably back off a bit but that doesn't change the fact it's not normal that a GT2 is faster than a GT1. On the restart he gave them massive gap, a gap a GT2 should never catch on a GT1 car and the idea was also to have a good restart to pull away from gt2 field and get out of the mess restart 5 minutes to go always bring (and did again). In general you try to avoid wreck from your class and gt1 passing you, not avoiding slow gt1.

@Matt : no Vires car rolled together and no Vires car had any other incident

well a GT1 car which can't be faster than a gt2 car is a danger especially when it is 20km/h off pace in a nearly flat out corner for gt2.

That #14 car was already really dangerous at Blackwood and we had problems with it there. This guy was already asked to pit to fix damage in his previous stint as he was driving with obvious major damage with a really slow pace. Because of Tracker failure I can't say his pace, but looking at lap 208 to 215 he was lapping slower than GT2 leader with a GT1. That means 4s off pace !

Even if Adam let ~5s gap with the back of the GT1 field on the last restart he caught this guy in two laps; and then was surprised by his slowness into the hairpin to sc2 complex. He basically didn't expect someone racing a top league in LFS (even if GTWS isn't an elite serie like MoE, it is suppose to be one of the top serie in this game) being that much slower into that corner, so when he reacted and braked that was too late...

There should be a 103% rule.

so raging to lose the win of a race you trained hard for and showed a pace that enabled you to nearly have 2 laps lead 15 minutes till checkered flag and to lose everything because you have to battle with driver that can't be faster than you with 140hp more.

some GT1 drivers should probably understand that GT2 are braking later and have similar apex speed so diving 5 m before braking zone usually ends with GT1 running wide on the door of the GT2 causing both car to lose ~1s and get damage...waiting corner exit would have cost 0.3s and trying to brake normally would have cost roughly 0.2s for the GT1 and ~0.5s for the GT2.

Well Deko I was quite surprise to see wind as well but to be honest that just enhance the challenge and as it was the same for everyone that was ok for me. irl there is always wind and at some track like Paul Ricard circuit you never know how strong/direction it will be and teams have to deal with it.
