Made one attempt with the LM55 and ended up 5th (after several punts and offs, with resulting penalities). Must try harder.

Like @MoparGTS mentioned, with only 2 laps, it really is a proper, hang-your-tail-out race.
 
I can safely report that the Tajima e-Runner is absolutely hopeless for this event. I ran it for a laugh. Only saw the guy in 11th until the beginning of the Mulsanne Straight, then never again. Ended up over 1:20:000 behind the leaders. It's also a long way to drive an almost silent car...

The BMW V12 LM was my gold winner. I had to have three goes, but eventually got there. First time round my gearbox was set a little low, so I was topping out on the straights if I got a tow, and missed out on first by about 2 secs in the end. Second time around, I tweaked the gearbox so I had more top end under a tow, snuck into first in the second half of the second lap, only to be side-swiped by the Toyota Minolta at the final chicane and gain a 5-sec ramming penalty!!! Fuming!!! So I had a third attempt, same settings on the gearbox, but softened the suspension a little for those bouncy straights, and snuck into first at the end of the straights on the second lap. From there on it was just a case of holding my position and keeping that ramming Minolta well off my rear quarters. Job done, with a 3 second win. :)

I usually don't enjoy Circuit de la Sarthe, but really enjoyed this event. Might have to have a few more attempts in all the competitive cars!
 
This was a great race for an A spec event... I usually only ever gold them and move on, but this one is worth a few visits :cool:👍

Used the Judd to gold it but will try another on my next visit :cheers:
 
With the Peugeot vgt did anyone have to make any adjustments if so what did you have to change? I'm jw in advance
Edit: changed toe settings differential settings (7,35,15 front & rear) and 6th gear got 2nd. 9 seconds behind leader. can't figure out what else I need to change

I use @shaunm80 Peugeot Vision Gran Turismo (699PP RH) tune, I only made one change to his tune is change the final gear to 2.470 to suit the track.
