EDIT: Quick! GTP-rush LMP2 in the current Le Mans public! (28385) Why? Because I'm bored, there's only three people so far, and I feel like an idiot joining to see the black reliability bars, just to realize they don't show up for this series.
Hey! New bars!
[snip]
Hey! My car sucks!
Look at the MG in Touring. I'm in one, and with two races left in the season, I'm second. Probably mostly due to its black bar.
When I did my Porker GT season, he was in a BMW with Kumhos. And still blitzed the field when it was DRY.
I suppose so ... I just got a phone call the other day saying "Jason, when you get home, we won't have an internet connection for a few days". I felt it was in the interets of my team-mate to get a new partner than stick with someone who won't be able to do his runs. My WR has already taken a 600-place beating, and while I can always gain the places back, I don't much care for it. I know I'm ranked in the 1200s, even if my WR says otherwise. If they lifted the "one LMES game per player" rule, this would be much easier. I love my LMES, but get very frustrated when I get a bum season. I'm not backing out because I'm experinecing that, though. I'll stick by a team-mate even when the only thing I get is retirements because he or she may be able to compete for placings and will need all the help I can get. I just have to remember to go for an R8 or Speed 8 chassis next time, or stick to the C65 in LMP2.
There was a "bug" where you could make (multiple) pitstops on lap 1, thereby reducing the number of pitstops you actually had to make.
Not at all.
And to add insult to injury, You can't stop it. Thats the one thing that's bugged me is that you can't control not one bit of what happens. You can have the perfect set-up and all it takes is a "driver error" not of your own doing or a crash thats out of your control and your race is done in a instant.
Maybe Rollcentre-Lazycat Engineering will one day reunite.
Yeah, I've had a crack at GT before ... in my most recent one I was doing quite well and even leading in the first half of the eason until Vito came from nowhere and stole the championship ...R8 & Bentley < Pescarolo < Other LMP1s < LMP2 < GTS < GT < Lister.
Seriously, though - do GTS and GT as much as possible before LMP1. Seems much easier.
I learned that the hard way. I also learned that the solution is to either 1) race in a different class, 2) join his team or 3) wait for another LMES game to start up, preferably on that he's not in.First rule of LMES: Never race against Vito. He'll lurk in 3rd-4th for half a season, then pull a winning streak. Or, you know, just dominate the whole season.
Yes, fourth place and 490-odd points. Terrible luck; worse than landing Ferrari, McLaren and BMW-Sauber drives but never qualifying higher than fifteenth and scoring just one point in five races like me.
Yeah, well he's not in mine and I'm thinking yours is invite-only, but I might be wrong. Nothing against the people in invite-only clans - I raced with Carter from the Batracer Elite in an F1 2002 game and he was the nicest team-mate I've ever had - but if ever I was given an invite, I'd decline politely; they strike me as being more concerned with maintaining their clan's rank than actually having a clan. Even if it's not invite-only, I'm still thinking my crappy 18xx WR and aysmal sacking record - I'm on the list of most-sacked players because of my aforementioned loss of connection for a week - isn't going to be atractive to your clan. Even my former ranking of 12xx wouldn't be enough.MetarThat's what I do. Plus, he's in my clan, so we're spreading out to cover more championships.
He's not made of luck.Metar
So we just roll over and let Vito win? Maybe I'd be able to put up a fight in one race if I knew which brand of tyres to use on my car ...MetarReduntant, see second point.
