Does that go on position then? So the top 3 LMPs are always together in the same lobby?

by **Biggsy tv** Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 0:42

If you read the rules thread, it becomes more clear.

Each stint, the total distance is taken, and at the end all distances are added together.

So its multiclass, but with two lobbies

well i didnt do to bad on my first qualifying session(3rd in class).if each stint is 2hrs long then you could do at least 200miles on tank of fuel(GT cars),but if youre a LMP1 car then its going to be different and same goes with LMPC as well.

I've managed to find the diagnosis this morning to the sound cutting in and out. Thankfully, it was my surround sound system but that's been sorted now.

I reckon the LMP's in Lobby A will have the advantage due the little amount of GT's in the field. The LMPC's are quick around the bends so they won't lose much time stuck behind them. I think Coca Cola Highcroft, Audisport Lola and DB4D will have a tougher time passing the GT's. But, we'll never know until the race finally gets underway.

All I can say is I wish my fellow competitors the best of luck in this race and hope this years running will be a huge success! cheers

Well race day is here and from my experience this is when drivers start to drop out

by F4H mikem Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 11:35

Last time I tried to do a 2 hour race I lagged out after 90 minutes. Hope everyone has a good race.

by F4H Lotterer Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 11:56

hopefully with the lobby fix that shouldnt happen anymore.

I am doing the 10pm - 12pm in the Team Sky Ferrari F430. My question is, do I get out of the way of the LMPs or should I just carry on with my own race and they make their way passed?

by F4H Lotterer Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 12:30

you should hold the race line the LMPs will find a pass.

by F4H Carrera Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 12:33

yup, always stick to your line, otherwise we have no idea what way you may go!

by **Radiation Louis** Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 12:40

I just want to put emphasis on the start of the race, please everyone don't do anything stupid, it's a 12 hour race, not 12 seconds, there will be plenty of time to race someone through out the race i promise! just take your time and if you have to tip-toe a couple of times, that's a lot better than crashing your car! everyone have a fun and safe race and will see you out on track

by xVampirAx Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 12:53

agreed.theres nothing worse than crashing the car in the first 1hr of the race.

by **CQR Rogue** Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 12:58

Good luck all for race today cant wait Smile

by DSRL Webbers88 Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 13:03

Sweet. I apologise for my slowness. But you never know, with other cars to pace myself with I might actually go faster than I have in practise.

That always happens good sir

by F4H Lotterer Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 13:07

slowness isnt allways a bad thing in endurance racing mr webbers

by DSRL Webbers88 Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 13:11

True true. I can do high 2:05s pretty much every lap if I am not too worried about lap times.

by **Radiation Louis** Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 13:15

dont ever be worried about lap times, just worry about your race and keeping the nose clean

Thanks for that, I'm about to go race the first stint with tears in my eyes from laughing so hard!

by AngelKristensen Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 13:52

In the event someone forgets their stint and doesn't show up, is another driver allowed to just fill in the spot in a an emergency if they happen to be online and prepared?

by **Richy59** Sat 24 Mar 2012 - 14:16

Sure, we don't have a problem with that. As long as we are made aware as we have a relatively strict schedule to keep to.

Unfortunately we had to remove Major Lazer from Session one, as his lag wiped out numerous cars on the parade and first lap. Hopefully Team Sky can get into Session 2 without incident.

That cannot be good.
