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 :|

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.
That's actually what cause world champion to die as it was a plan to make car manufacturer leave endurance to go to F1...So that's a completely different approach as now we are talking about extending the use of a F1 engine to endurance.
That have already been done as the V6 turbo that powered '76 Alpine-Renault Le Mans winning car was a sort of derivative of the yellow tea pot...
By the way, should I remember everyone that an LMP car, especially in Le Mans config have a ridiculous drag coefficient compared to F1 cars?
BoP sucks!

Well it was discussed a while ago on Endurance-info sourcing a german website. I would try to find that back but usually I look at this forum to have fun reading all the false rumours going on and makes me laugh.
Regulations have changed so the 908 is no longer eligible...Bruno Famin, Peugeot Sport boss and former 908 programm technical director said that Peugeot might be back in some international championship in 2017, especially with the help of Carlos Tavares, new PSA president and the one that relauched Alpine at renault.
That could be WRC or WEC imo. In the same interview Famin said that he felt that Le Mans was tasting unfinished for him.

Congratz guys ! strong pace in both GT1 & GT2!
Nice pace from you guys as well ! Was quite impressed by you guys, could have been faster but no rush as we got strategics advantage but still that pace was pretty much within a tenth or two to the maximum i could do.
That was 19:23 italian time but 18:23 UTC 
Perez is just lazy...he isn't professionnal at all, he can't really help a team to improve like Lewis was and he isn't as fast as the brit as well.
Yes the McLaren this year wasn't the best car, but at the end of the day it misses what ... 0.5s to be at the top. Perez isn't able to reach the last few tenths, neither is Button. McLaren line up was missing someone like that and had only one driver that was able to give a good feedback to his engineers in order to know which way to go in order to improve the car and/or get the maximum from it. Perez is definitely not that man.
Yeah F1 isn't about being fast.
Actually that's not only cq, but polish as Adam was also quite laggy...I suspect something happened to their internet provider. Anyway issue due to lag aren't really driver's fault, but a driver that know he is lagging should overtake carefully.
Session of Incident : Race
Lap AND MPR timecode of incident : GT1 lap 61, about 1h36
Car(s) involved: 07 54
Location of Incident (Track Map Here):On the left hander before sc2 known as T11.
Description : car 07 send car 54 into the gravel costing it about a lap. Some lag was involved but car 07 should have been aware of that and be more careful.

Well that SC basically changed the result in both class but that's racing after all, sometimes you gain sometimes you lose
2014 DPs will actually be more expensive to buy and run than P2 ^^ Interesting

Shocked ! He was such a nice guy, really sad news...
TDFI? Hopefully that stands for Turbo Direct Fuel Injection?
