Cheers for the link dude, watched that one, and as is the way a lot of the time on YouTube, hours get wasted clicking on 'related videos'!

Man i've got the vibe for this 24 hours now, i can't wait!
Same here! I do hope I get live in time cos I missed Sebring n was so numbed and this is the biggest race, so I so don't wanna miss it! I've been testing and practicing and getting quicker n quicker, keen for this and the real one, but I can't find anywhere that I will b able to watch the race live!

Allan McNish is such a pain in the arse. He breaks the racedriver's code: "Don't be good at presenting or interviewing" Razz

Hey guys, so I've been testing the Porsche RSR and I'm sure I've done more than 50 laps on Le Mans already and it's simply to hard to drive it. My fastest lap time was a 4:07.596 and I can't improve more than that. I'm asking if we could update the upgrades for the car? Maybe upgrade the Rear Tire Width to at least 320/40R18? The car's back end just snaps in almost every corner and tuning really doesn't solve the problem...

by SorrySmithy Thu 7 Jun 2012 - 10:24

The RSR does seem a handful to drive, was running 4:05's/4:06's. So glad I am not driving this car for the 24hr race, would most definitely end up in the tire wall at some point

great so my 4.02s aint to shabby afterall.

by LMR Manthey Thu 7 Jun 2012 - 16:25

I took out the Race Brakes and added Race Driveline and added an upgraded rear tire width (320/40R18) and I actually managed to do a 4:04.653. Final PI is still the same (763)...

by F4H Lotterer Thu 7 Jun 2012 - 18:26

hopefully i can get quicker when the livery arrives Smile

by Jonny705 Thu 7 Jun 2012 - 18:40

Hello all. Can't wait for this. Favourite circuit by some margin. Several of the RWS will be returning for this after a fun outing at Sebring. Smile

Best time a 3:24.5 or something like that in the AMR One in LMP1.

Your car must match the build in the car list thread. If there is an issue with the car and other drivers experience it, then we will look into it.

I know that but can you guys try the other way? Test the car after you've added the Race Driveline and upgraded rear tire widths. Take out the race brakes and it'll equal the same PI (763). The car's way smoother through the corners and you don't have fight the steering wheel too much...

by **Richy59** Thu 7 Jun 2012 - 20:35

We'll have a look into it this week

by LMR Manthey Thu 7 Jun 2012 - 22:08

Thought I'd share this video with you guys. Enjoy! Smile

This is my schedule for race day, that's 2:30 Australian eastern (+9) which is 5 am GMT, so I would not b able to race stints starting at 12 or 1, up to 5 pm, so that'd b 3am GMT to 8 am GMT, do u recon that would b manageable if I was to race

Will there be an official Le Mans test day?

Dont worry, Im struggling to break the 4.10 barrier at the moment. Kinda embarassing when your teamate is an easy 8 to 10 seconds a lap faster! Shocked

oh yes.

by **LMR DarthMario** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 11:21

Having a little struggle being consistent with the Vette, but I guess its a given, seeing I've been using the BMW all through the ISCC European Leg, and I only have the rest of this month to get familiar with the Chevy.

by Hailfire97x Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 11:49

You mean...?

Hailfire Racing's tried-and-true Vipers may have been given a gift? Razz

by **LMR DarthMario** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 14:37

Don't read too deep into that Hailfire. I'm not wrecking the vette in any way, I'm just having problems nailing consistent lap times. Wink

my goal is to be as fast as my BMW was in the 2,4.

by **Ax4x Mikey J** Fri 8 Jun 2012 - 16:38

Compared to Hailfire's times (which are atop the TORA GT leaderboard on my friends list) I was very disappointed in my consistent 2:07/occasional 2:06 laps, but after reading through other's lap times I am feeling a bit better.

Now I just gotta gain a couple fast teammates for this in order to steal a podium spot.
