Bmw V12 Lmr

Just curious, but has anybody gotten the extra body stiffness upgrade for an LM car yet. I did La Sarth 24 II (w/ out chicanes) with my Black 787B, and of course the thing needed a refreshement. Would the body stiffness increase the longevity of the frames stiffness? Does the added stiffness cause more understeer, like in the BMW for example? I getting ready to complete La Sarthe I with the BMW, and would like to know before I potentially mess up the handling perminently. Well I guess I could always save up another 4.5 mil to buy another one, but I sure as hell don't want to.

i'm not very good with the BMW LMP. i prefer the bentley or the R8 the most

It's a pretty good car, but I don't like the handling in it's stock form. Of course you can tune it to handle the way you want. I still prefer the R8 and Speed 8 for LMP's and 787B and R92CP for group C's, but it's a good car. A contender for top 5 fastest cars in the game excluding the F1.

When I drive the BMW, I have to watch my brake points.In a test between the GT-one and the V12 I noticed that the BMW is slightly more powerful but you have to brake earlier as the brakes on the GT-one are a little more stronger.But I haven't used the word "set-up" on this car yet so correct me if I'm wrong 👍



Cheers,

After you did a 24h race, you'll notice that the car responds to the most slightly tap on your joystick wich is awful. A little to much steering on you're out of the track.Just go the your car dealer and buy the Redigity plan.Now your car handles just as it was when you bought it.(at least my Pesca did 👍 )

Yeah, I'm well aware of the idea behind the extra rigidity. I was a little over half way done with Lemans 24h II and noticed at around 230 it was a lot more twitchy, due to the frame deformation. That high speed gentle right hander towards the end became a little tricky if I wasn't careful. Never spun out, but came close a couple of times. I was just curious as to whether the extra rigidity enhancement thing would last for the whole race, or if its even worth getting on a LM car. I always buy it for older cars, like muscle cars, bmw 2002 turbo, pretty much anything before 1990. Since I don't drive FF cars except for FF only events I don't have to worry about understeer as much. Power oversteer with the RWD always does the trick

in a 24hour race you do not race until the last 2hours.
