Welcome, how did you find us? Hi, I saw your Reddit posts and you mentioned in one that you were running a Le Mans race, so I thought "sign me up!" That’s great, glad to have you aboard. We’re running a hours Free Practice session in on Saturday night, so we can familiarize our new drivers with how we go racing. Be great to see you then. consoleracing.boards.net/thread/760/le-mans-free-practice Cheers Dave

Gents,
As Sean mentioned earlier in this thread, be aware that we won’t accommodate multiple cars of the same number and livery. If your preferred car had been taken you’ll need to choose another number or car. See the list at the top of this thread to see which cars are available.
Cheers
Dave

Cheers Dave Dave I have seen that almost averybody on the GTE category is using the 488 with the 51 livery, and all the liveries of that car are almost equal. I´m comfortable also with the BMW M6 and it has more distinct liveries so I think I will change to that car.

I'm up for this too - would be interested in the GTE class. Will take a look at the cars later today but I'm a big fan of the Corvette. It's a strong car and took 1, 2, and 3 in the last XRF GTE 2.4 Hours of Le Mans. The tune isn't up on my TT anymore since I set one with the Panoz GT1, but it should be very similar to Neale's / XRF Jameson's on Time Trial. Still, as much as I absolutely love GTE, LMP1 is on another level! I'd guess 30 to 40 seconds a lap faster at modern LeMans.

I've updated my original post with my LMP1 choice, I'm still under the impression that we will have enough heads for a split grid but I'm going to do some practice with it now just in case

At least you've had some LMP1 practice though and can always jump into that on the night if GTE is too limited. Just remember that your quali time if in the GTE will put you behind all the other LMP1's. But qualifying is hardly going to be decisive with this sort of race.

We raced LMP1 at Daytona, but it was a short track compared to LeMans. LeMans is long enough that the max KWh per lap comes in to play. IndyCar has max Push to Pass per race, LMP1 has mad KWh per lap. So, manual LMPh cars are easy to monitor.
KERS in LMP1 doesn't come on until around 80 to 90% throttle. On Lean fuel mix, it wont come on. On Normal mix, it deploys much more slowly than Rich. KERS only recharges under braking, except for the 919. It also recharges from exhaust heat.
MPG will come into play in this long race, too.

Gents, Thanks to everyone who has supported this race and we’re looking forward to racing on Saturday.
At this point we have 9 LMP drivers and 6 GTE drivers, would anyone be interested in switching to GTE so we have a more balanced field?
It’s not a huge problem but if we had 1 more GTE driver then I’m sure it would be a great race for everyone, let us know in this thread if there’s any volunteers.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Dave

Liam posted Marek 2 posts above?
Looks like LMP1/LMPH will do about 42 laps and GTE will be around 36 or 37.

I know they all use LMP1. do you need the list? I can ask them to let me have the list of their LMP1 cars and then I can write it here.
