Well iv just ran 3 laps with an un-tuned Porsche RSR and im doing 4:08.....but I was hoping to join a team with this car but there is NO WAY I could drive it for 2hours without crashing it.....its sooooooo un-stable in the corners and in braking, it has nooo balance !!! There has to be something to make it more stable, otherwise its not worth having in the event. I will put a tune on it to see if that makes any difference but I don’t think it will cure the problem.

Ignoring the cock-up with the times in your post, don't forget one simple fact: I'm notorious for doing amazing things in cars that are incapable of it.

It's an old thing from the Hotlap Challenges that he runs on another site. All of the "pick a car" challenges where I won was with a car that no one else in the challenge favored/everyone gave up on.

Hi Guys. I might be running with some other AAR team members. (I don't have a # yet, but I do know how to get one {thanks for the PM}, so that will be done later).

However, I have one question. I have seen that there is an "initial entry limit of 16 teams." Does that mean that the list is full (even though there are already more than 16 teams)?

by **Richy59** Sat 9 Jun 2012 - 16:20

Thanks for pointing that out, I had it in for Sebring and copied it over. No, there is no limit to the teams. I had it at 16 initially as we had no idea how popular the events would become. We want to get as many people as possible entered into these races so I've removed the limit now.

by AAR ABEnstein Sat 9 Jun 2012 - 16:44

Thanks for the info!

I'll be discussing with the team for the next few days as to car choice, number choice, etc.

by **Richy59** Sat 9 Jun 2012 - 16:46

Not a problem. Regarding numbers, we like all competitors to be registered to an individual number which make sit easier for us to keep a record of, however for Le Mans I am not strict with numbers and if you are using something like a replica you may use the number that is on it. For example, my team are all going to be running under one number rather than each of us changing numbers between sessions.

by **LMR DarthMario** Sat 9 Jun 2012 - 16:49

mentioning that Richy, will we be using the same car number from Sebring? and can i get a copy of said paint? my car looks pretty dull with the 'primer-grey'. Wink
