been saving bone$ for weeks... still hoping to see a C9 in the CD, but still none. but a BMW V12 LMR? 900kg? over 800hp? hell yeah why not? i bought it, and i love it. it's amazing.

never heard much about this car before, hardly a mention. who here loves it, hates it, or could care less (and why?)?

just curious. TIA. :dopey:
 
I use dell, so i like it :sly:

seriously, a good ride.
 
I watched my BOB drive it, love the exhaust on the downshift, just don't let him drive it on Max Hot attitude.
 
The Toyota GT-ONE is better but the BMW V12 LMR is a good car also I think.
 
It is terrible before you tune the setting, it's ok after that. I would wait for a judd to come up to be honest
 
I don't know how to tune worth a darn and really like this car out of the box. The only thing I have a firm grasp of is setting the max speed high enough that I'm not hitting the rev limiter on straights, and the group C / LMP lot certainly isn't lacking torque so it's not really limiting me more than my driving skills. It's one of my favorite LMP's.

Dells always require a bit of work to get 'em working right instead of just using them as-is. ;)
 
Probably best-looking LM car in the game. Really like the looks of the headlights. Third, central one looks stupid though.
And it is also fast 👍
 
i find it really tight with all the immediate acceleration you get from the R10, but w/o its hp/tq imbalance making it such a handful. the V12 is absolutely amazing on Deep Forest.

tuning:
i opened up some neg camber, F -.08, R -1.2
dropped it -12mm
set max speed at 242
TC at 3 (surprisingly works if the LSD is set right)
LSD: initial at 5, accel at 25
Racing softs
all else stock.

and i still haven't done engine or chassis rebuilds, and i know i could use it (but not ready to pay up 1,000,000, and the car has low miles). i think i'm at 845hp or somesuch (iirc).

i seriously love this car. i had a love/hate with R10 due to it's odd power balance. this car is like an improved version to me actually. a little smaller, too. and it even sounds good. ;)
 
It's a great car but the Dell stickers harm its looks. Not the best LMP car but close enough to the others.
 
I don't like Dell, but because it won at Le Mans, especially because it was with Tom Kristensen, I just had to have it. (I also have a B-Spec T.Kristinsen, so the realism works)
 
i love this car. so good at places like le mans.

my tuning
whack a big turbo on it, slam the ride height. makes it great :P
 
its not really dont like...

most other LMPs are much faster

but point of it "its a LM car" so i love it :)
 
There are better cars but I love it. Tuned it and did 2:55 on le sarthe no chicanes.
 
Cool im glad people enjoy this car i was hoping my time and money wouldn't be wasted on a car i wont like.
 
I hate it because when i was doing the 200 laps endurance at Indy, the driver would not move out of the way when i was lapping him.

:lol:
yes i had the same problem repeatedly at Deep Forest today. funny i don't remember that when i was lapping them in my R10.
 
best Time of 6:25 on the Nür ring with this beast, you'll get 6:40 with 1 crash, it takes time to align up from the grass......

my Experimental settings: I just wing it on the go, I'm no expert, just these work well on my G25 for all my 500HP+ cars

LSD 25/35/20, MT, HighRPM-Turbo(i think Turbo kills engine FAST), Racing HARDS, raised height 2/3, mild neg camber -.07/.-.07, dampers at 6, Rear Toe .12, Front Toe, I usually set -.01 for all cars. tranny at 410km, brakes 6/3(rarely use em)==>, use downshift to decel / compress==> end procedure with throttle revlock at set speed, then squeeze the throttle on your way to the next immediate slowdown lol, dont go too fast in even mild apex.

note: modulate throttle, because stepping on the gas in 4th gear, from standstill, unleashes tire melt on the track, lol. What a blast!

This is the new ultimate driving machine for me in this game.
