I think all the people currently in LMP need to stay, and a few more need to cross over. We should regulate half/half grid so that it's actually multi-class, because I won't race a GT only grid. I can just simply go full time rfactor.

I think gatrs should go LMP and a few others to make the class interesting.

Right now, there's a 6:9 ratio of LMP-GT drivers. I think some recent changes haven't been ruled in as of yet, so that ratio isn't official.

Fine, I'll remove it. But expect another track to replace it.

Nobody's joining LMP because the cars are so uneven, and there's nothing being done.

If you guys want to improve the LMP class in some fashion, I guess we need a bit more time to make the class more even. I just adopted BermudaKid's system immediately since some of you guys really want to race.

So 2 people dont like Grand Valley and its gone? Majority rules i suppose. To be honest im not crazy about it myself, but of the "original" tracks its probably the best one to run if we're going to use one of them.

Im gonna buy an LMP and find out what all the fuss is about. Someone mentioned the Audi R10 being a bad lmp? Ill try it out tonight after ive earned enough money. If the cars have been balanced by a driver who has done extensive research on them, then im more apt to believe that than someone who has only driven them part time. I dont hear Pipi or Seth complaining about balance.

I may add it as an "Optional Inclusion".

How about this idea: I could throw in La Sarthe '05 W/ Chicanes, and have a 2 round battle, each being 5-10 laps long. Both rounds will be ran in Classic Le Mans vehicles. The difference in each round is the grid: Based on Qualifying results, the 1st round will be taken by fastest-slowest. The 2nd round will be taken by slowest-fastest. Each round is 25% of the points, totaling half of the normal points (being because it is not 'realistic' in ALMS). I know, it's a bit terrible, but I guess it's only an idea..

I like the sound of both those tracks.
However, I won't be here Friday.
So it's up to you guys.
Daytona will be next week. That will be the first official race of the season.

Did you ever buy that LMP?

I don't think I understand--we don't have good LMP specs after multiple seasons racing? Bermudakid's popular Le Mans Proto series isn't competitive? Since I've been in GT all this time I truly don't know, but it seems there was always some good proto battling in this series. Que paso?

We can drop the Bentley to 540hp and 930kg. Drop the R8 05' to 540hp 950kg. Let the Pescarolo's run 900kg 560hp or 570hp. They may not be the best handling, but they'll have good straight line speed. The Toyota is good as well, run it at 530hp 900kg because it's top speed is stellar. The 908's can be 560hp or 550hp 930kg (stock). So basically, the fastest cars according to everyone else- the Bentley and R8 can get a HP drop (weight increase for the Speed8) but they'll still be mighty competitive.

I'm going to run this season in a Toyota GT-One. I'll give up the Bentley to one of the other guys that aren't so fast so they can have a better challenge at wins.

I've seen that everyone seemed to forget that since I switched to GT class, an Audi R8 is available...

Alright, just took the Audi R10 out for the first time. All i did was adjust the tranny, set lsd to 10/10/10 and erase the rear toe (why does every car come with +.20, durrrh). Ive done about 4 laps and so far i have a 1'49.7 @ GP/F. I know i can get at least another second or so out of this car with more seat time and tuning, so that should lay to rest the balance issue for the R10.

Edit: 1'47.0 now, tuning is the key
