no point running the race now, we know who's gonna win

I don't know who would win. Mind telling me?

I'll give you a hint...

Spoiler:

If I can be so bold, would it be possible to take a car, say the SP1 Porsche 911 GT3-RSR, and have it run a R3-800 (2nd restrictor, brakes, full tire width), but run in the -25% power restriction group (lobby setting, it'll still run SP1). In essence, this will give the Porsche a same hp boost. It is currently running at 386 HP after the 15% is reduced, but with the second restrictor off and minus 25% power, it'll run with 399 HP. Which on a couple of pass seems to average out to a 4 mph gain on the downhill section right after start/finish.

Just an idea.

Edit: Original speed trap = 172 mph
New speed trap = 176 mph

Just ran a 7:34.334 (D) an improvement of ~7 tenths. I'll run some more soon.

Edit 2: The same can be done for the Ferrari F458 Italia. It has a speed trap of 173 mph. If you take off both restrictors and run it with -35% power restriction it has 400 hp (up 4 hp from 396 hp) and has a speed trap of 176 mph.

Was the idea so unpopular that it didn't even warrant a response?

Staff have been very busy but dont think this will happen, Ian has lined up VLN rules with TORA GT rules with slight mods, you can speak to Ian about moding some car PI but we wont I expect have max pi etc

also weekends v bad for staff response due most of us busy weekends during daytime and staurdays try have break from TORA

But Ian will respond tonight or 2mw

Ah, thank you.

The Lambo Gallardo is AWD as stock.

this car can be heavily tuned to make it a pi of 660. It also runs better with rear wheel drive line. But to get it there you suffer big time with the 15%

Just a concern that's all, nothing major just like to point out useless information.

Does any one have haribo layer groups that they can send me unlocked?
Or even a Haribo Racing Porsche Design?

Hey, I have them all unlocked if you want them?

Is this a one off event or will it run for a few weeks leading up to the Enduro, the real VLN runs for a few weeks which is why I ask.

Stupid wedding on the 17th

It's just the one event, although there is a mini one before i believe, but it's not really related. I could be wrong though and chatting a bunch of waffle, who knows!?

Doh, I might have to sit tight until the enduro.

1 off event before Nur 8 Hours

I think I heard somewhere that a full series may happen next year, pending the success of this. But I could be wrong

lol yep plans to this full next year will need see how this goes but VLN ya ya ya

Hope it does. This is great, longer than a normal race but not long enough to kill me
