For Le Mans, an updated Balance Of Performance leaves Ferrari with what looks to be a top speed advantage over the Ford and Jaguar cars, that makes up for there downforce deficit.

See, if I was there I'd be running minimum aero to get down to 600pp, so it actually depends how people de-pp their cars. Pretty sure I could only get 209mph out of a full aero Ford with 615pp so with 605pp it'll be more like 203mph. Compare that to 219mph in a full power, no ballast and minimum aero Ford and you can see why.

Room for a GT / ST reserve entry or two.

Test room opening for a few hours.

Im going to have to drop out furi. Its been fun, but GT5 is becoming very stale for me.

2. GTPanoz (Ford PT)

We have an entry slot open, test still going.

Jaguar of LancerEvo just beat last seasons race fastest lap by 4(!) seconds.

EDIT: Now 7

Jaguar of LancerEvo left the test with about 40 less hp than it entered with.

Phew! I was going to say. 3:32s are certainly possible for PT, maybe 31s for a really quick driver but 28s is RH pace.

Seems like the HMS Jaaaaaaaag is still king of Le Mans then.

Well, its 40hp now

Managed a 4:29.6 right at the end of the session with no down force and was getting 160 mph down the straights with no draft compared to around 155 with nearly full down force so the ST and GT will be evenly matched until their 1st stops as the Alfa's were consuming around 3 Liters per lap so will easily 1 stop on fuel and probably tires but didn't do a long enough stint

Had very little practice here, and still not got the transmittion sorted.

4'20? The new medium tires will explains some of that, the rest is simply a fast driver in the fastest car for this track. 👍

I guess that means if you're in a Jag, you're fine. If you're not, you're f:censored:ed.

What are the approximate BHP figures for the Ferrari, Jaguar and Ford PT cars?

Correct

Jaguar was 12 mile an hour faster than Vette down the Mulsanne.

I'll be running 445PP for the race, high 240s hp. Should close the gap a bit.

Indeed. Tech changes for Le Mans:

Jaguar 450pp

There is a slight chance that I may race tomorrow night

Chris, we may have room.

Hoping for a 16 car field tonight.

Thinking of leaving Corvette at the end of the season.
