I found the AI pretty aggressive here. I actaully took someone pretty unsportsmanlike, it seems he didnt like it and forced me off line a bit and I lost a lot of time and it took me almost half a lap to catch him again. This race has a pretty clear delination from the backmarkers and the racers at the pointy end who actually have a chance.

I'm going to try this in a JGTC car or something not LMP1. I tried the HSV010 and I think the best I got was 3rd. At 1,100kg plus they carry too much over the LMPs.
 
Anyone have any luck with the golden oldies like the Jag XJ13 or Ferrari P4 330? or the Mines R34? Too slow?

Just tried it with the XJ13 Chrome Line with a basic simple tune that I threw on it. Lots of room for improvement, if I wasn't so lazy in tweaking tunes!

Ahh yes. Got the best placing thus far with this one. 2nd place.
Great tune Fordy.
 
Was a bit dubious about raising the ride height. But got a first place, leading after 3 and half laps.
Thanks fordlaser777. Great tune that ended 36 hrs of 2nd and 3rds. On a bright note am now a multimillionaire with sore thumbs and wrists. Does any other game make you feel Gforce lol

Do you use any driving aids, if so how do you have them set?

Quick update. Placed 2nd with your tune. Awesome tune, something weird happened with one of the AI cars though. But thanks again, I'll keep at it until I get 1at.

Good tune for this track, but if the other TS030 is on the field no chance. 9:10.150s without the other hybrid around.
 
I decided to do a test to see how much faster the AI will go if you bump one driver/car the whole race. The difference will probably shock you. I decided to bump W. Andersson who drives the Jaguar XJ13 and starts 11th in the races that I have run. Looking back at one one of my races that I posted, W. Andersson finished 11th with a total time of 10:21.304 and had a best lap of 1:57.756. In the race that I bumped him, he finished 3rd with a total time of 9:38.616 and had a best lap of 1:46.421. He ran over 11 seconds faster in one lap by bumping him and finished 8 spots higher in the standings by bumping him the whole race!

W. Andersson probably could win a race if you bump him the whole race... As long as he doesn't run off the track because he's going too fast, which he did twice and he still finished in 3rd place! I like that the AI reacts differently when you bump them.... But 11 seconds a lap faster is just plain silly.

What are your lap times in the 030? I think fastest I'm doing is a 1.41/42 at best. You dont need to do that consisitently. I think I did 45, 46, 42 etc. and thats enough to get it.

I think my laps are in the low 1:42s and high 1:41s but I did not take much notice of the first lap was sorry.

Nice race I had with the Greaves LMP2 car detuned to meet 600PP. Nailing the downhill hairpin felt great and it was a good chase until taking the lead early in the 5th lap from the Zonda. No need for real overkill with a 2J here.
