What car and tune did you guys use to beat this race?
I'm using the R18 and cannot for the life of me win this race. My lap times are around 3:45, I start with racing intermediates and pit after lap 3 to fuel up and switch to racing hards. Half of AI seems to pit after lap 1, and the other half after lap 3 with me, and ever split they just keep extending their lead on me.
Are my lap times really that bad? or is there an easier way to do this?
I used the Peugeot 905 but I'm sure this tactic will be ok with any of the LMP cars.
Firstly I raised the ride height to maximum as I find Le Mans quite a bumpy track, reduce the aero both front and rear to minimum. My own preference is all aids off, no TC and ABS at 0, you choose what you prefer. The couple of times I ran this just to verify information before I post is the race will be 7 laps.
Purchase RS tyres and use those, besides faster lap times than RH, not having a rain tyre on the car while it's raining does sod all in GT6.
Make sure you pit at the end of the 3rd lap, reason - your first stint does not incorporate tyre wear, no idea why another cock up by PD.
Leave the fuel choice to your pit crew and return to the track with RS tyres again - faster lap times and all that. Your tyres will begin to wear now, so end of lap 5 you need to pit. Again leave fuel to pit crew and again put on the RS.
My opening lap was a 3.30 and near enough had 1st place by racing, alas they all pitted on lap 1 giving me 1st place anyway. By the time I was coming into the pits on lap 3 my lead was 1.25ish. Pitted again at lap 5 and lap 6 I lapped the old skool jag (i think it was that one). I finished in 1 st place, after 7 laps 26.02 and 2nd place was that far behind he never crossed the finish line before the game started to run the replay
Recap: Use RS tyres for the duration of the race, pit lap 3 then lap 5.
Hope this helps and good luck.
