We're going to start a GTE room and ask that any stupid steamroller sleds that enter need to watch out for the real cars so not to scratch their beautiful paint jobs.
Fwiw, in BremudaKids Le Mans series I run the 787b (but at 820kg or whatever its factory weight is) and run le sarthe 2005 around 3:21. Its one of the quicker cars around the track though. I'd say a good competitive time would be low 3:20s. I'll run the Speed 8 around after work to see what out pulls. Speed 8 is a mid runner on le sarthe iirc.
The R10 is a tad slow imo, and should get a 20-30 hp boost. Its mid range acceleration (100-180mph) really is lacking compared to the others. I think it's about 3-4s off pace around Le Sarthe. I have pulled a 3:22 with a draft, but with out it it gets left in the straights. I can do done testing if you want on it to see what would get it competitive.
The 900kg weight limit unbalances all the cars under 900kg (787, 902, minolta off the top of my head). At a 750kg limit (weight of 902) they're all pretty balanced (BremudaKid's Le Mans series).
To give an example, on indy road course my 787 ran high 1:19s, and the speed 8 also ran high 1:19s. With 80 extra kgs, they'd be extremely unbalanced. The 902 even worse. In qualifying for the race, I qualified 5th, behind a Speed 8, 2x 908, and a GT-One. So despite the weight difference, the cars are equal.
Yes but you do understand the 908 weighs 930kg and the R10 925kg? I'm gonna sound like a bit of an arse saying this but who cares what is being run in Bermudakids series, gogatrs has set the regulations and so far the racing has been pretty good in LMP.

In the Op he said he was basing off BKs series(well he did, not there now), but used preliminary unbalanced regs of the series.
I'm just trying to make the racing better. Its fact the R10 is slower then the competition. I'm trying to help you out here, nothing for my car (Speed 8)

I edited my post, it was there, but has been removed. You can ask Gogatrs to confirm.
I didn't know the stealths offered any speed bonus, I thought it was just cheap rebuilds and a different paint scheme.
I'll put some laps in tonight on the Speed 8 to compare to, and the regular R10, as well as my 350Z for your series.
I'm sure I've probably stated before, I will not be in town for This weeks ALMS pre-season race (out of town Thurs-Mon). Itll give a chance for all the new LMP cars to get some seat time, in preparation for the tissimo motorsports Speed 8's return the following week to the top of the podium.
Hey, I'm starting a lounge room for GTE cars if anyone wants to join. Just sent a friend request to Mitch. Anyways, if anyone wants to join, my ID is neptune35.
Ask for the friend request, I'll except it within 30 minutes, and we'll start practicing. I may leave the room sometimes (I have other things to do - I'm going to be in the senior year of high school next year and I'm relaxing during the summer), but you guys keep on practicing.
