Event Discussions

All Chat about the 50 laps of Le Mans can go in here guys.

what cars fall into LMP2 am i right to say the honda motorsport lola would be one?

Correct that would be one mate

Looking forward to this, it's gonna be hard though

damn right it is lanky but sooooo much fun

Gonna be epic...so glad to be a member of CCRO, the events just keep getting better and better!

Are we running the race with damage on? Things will be quite interesting...

think andy was saying he is more inclined to run it with damage off now

I'm torn on the damage thing. While I like the tyre degredation and strategy involved in it, I don't want to do 3-4 hours with little or no aero, as that's gonna be hard work.

I am still about 75% sure damage will be on guys, im just not 100% sure lol

Until i say otherwise it would probably be best to assume it is going to be on full damage.

ok so long as i know on the day im not fussed im testing with damage on

I might compete as long as i'm not busy. I've been super busy lately been out of town every weekend. These trips weren't planned till after the start of the Grand Am and I wouldnt have signed up If I knew I would only be able to make one event. Again I apologize for quitting out. And if I cant take part in future series that's fine. Rules are rules. Still not sure if I will even sign up for them yet anyways.

With damage on, Tetre Rouge will be quite interesting. I've hit the bumpers of death on either side of the turn almost every lap, and the AMR-One seems to really enjoy rolling onto its side (I don't expect this race to help me with the "Roll King" moniker), unlike the R18. I have to say that I'm much more fond of the corner in Forza 3, before they re-profiled it.

I can definitely understand why we'd have damage on though, and I think it will bring up some interesting tortoise vs. hare strategies, like at the older races when the cars were not bulletproof. Really looking forward to this.

Is there any chance we could have P1, P2, PC and then a GT class? The PC cars are just not even close to the P2 cars. I don't really mind much...and in a 3 hour race anything can happen as long as you stay clean and out of trouble, but it would be an easy change to make it we wanted to go ahead with it.

i cant add any more groups because it would require that the game allows me to add more groups and teams i am afraid 4 is the Max.

At the moment there are two GT classes and two LMP classes, im sorry but i wont change it, i have al ready made the restrictions much wider as of request, as it is now is final im afraid.

Ok no worries. As we all know, it's more important to stay out of trouble in a 3 hour race than to be the fastest on the track for the first 25 minutes. Can't wait!

Well it seems I am unsure atm if I can attend the race since I just heard that we will be having some guests comming tommorow idk at what time they will be comming etc but so it might be that I will be able to start the race but not finish it.

Can someone confirm what time tomorrow's race starts? (Eastern time)

According to a converter I'm using it should be at 9AM EST

Hey guys....pains me to say this, but the girlfriend has decided that tomorrow would be an outstanding day for us to go to her parents place for breakfast/lunch...I guess it's called brunch. lol. Anyway, I guess I won't be able to join you guys for this race. It's really a shame because I was really looking forward to this one a lot. Sorry again, guys!

That's too bad Blonde, we'll catch ya next time and tks for letting us know!

Hey Smurf anymore news on whether or not you can make the race? Hope to see ya there!

I will be there for the start but after I won't be able to finish the race.
I will be able to race for about 2 hours untill I will need to leave, so there's plenty of time to re-act what Mcnish did at le mans

Now that's dedication Smurf, knowing you're not going to be able to finish, yet you're still willing to put in 2 hours!

I may not be able to join the lobby until the last minute/ may be a little late as we usually have dinner between 1:30 and 2 on a sunday
