Anyone score a W with group c cars in daily race c? Was thinking of giving it a go just for fun
I won one earlier today in the Audi R18 with 2nd place driving a Sauber they finished about 30s behind but beat everything else. If you're in a low DR it might be possible.

Took the BMW Z4 GT3 racing at the Nürburgring - GP event. Pretty uneventful race. Started 3rd behind an R8 LMS and Lexus RCF. Got passed the R8, tried to lunge me up the inside of the first turn, got in my way when I was turning in. He bumped me and spun out. I got slapped with a 5 second penalty but 1st was long gone. Managed to keep 2nd in the end.

Moving onto Gr.1 tomorrow hopefully. Trying to go 2011 R18 TDI gang, but we'll just have to wait and see how it goes.

Props to that brave guy!
I wanna use my r92 and my c9 and at the very least get decent results and stuff tomorrow
 
Just can't win. :guilty:

3 tries on Race A today. Started 4th, finished 3rd. Started 3rd, finished 2nd. Got pole... finished 3rd.

On the positive side I got a rare pole and all were close, clean races. I improved my qualifying time by almost a tenth. And +DR for the day.

The current 2 top times on Race A seem noticeably faster than the rest.

Le Mans is awesome. It's too bad people aren't clean.

Granted, it's late over here in the EST.

But still, it's awesome.

I've taken an SR drop every race after being rammed so many times - doesn't seem to matter what time it is CC!

Really surprised with the NSX. Very poised when I pushed it with stock settings. No HUD and after the start, I could see the lead Lancer, was coming back to me after I got passed and went down to 3rd, at T1.
 
Can you make without pitstop with C9?
Lord I tried as hard as could..... nope for me......

A player I just raced did exactly that, and recorded a race time of 17:27 despite some minor errors. You can technically make any car last the distance, but some need more aggressive fuel saving than others.
 
Finally managed a win in a McLaren! (of any kind) I know it's the fake VGT, but I'll take it. Had two disconnections in a row (despite re-loading the game in between) and my reward was pole for the race I finally managed to enter. Was cruising (or so I thought) and pitted lap end of lap 3 and re-joined 5th behind a couple Mazda LM55's, a 919, and a Pug 908. It then dawned on me later that they weren't going to pit, but I managed to get into 2nd behind the Pug half way through the final lap. Was a couple seconds behind the Pug going into the final chicane and the worn out tyres bit him hard. He botched the final chicane and I won the drag-race to the finish line by 0.7 seconds!

My final race time of 17:43 was pretty slow compared to what others are posting. I gather the 908, LM55, and TS050 are the "easiest" to no-stop? with the R18 and 919 possible but with more careful fuel-saving?

Damnit I was supposed to be the one to declare McLaren VGT a supreme! If I had just been online for your split I could've easily made my aggressive no-stop work. But instead my 17:31 on attempt 2 had to play 2nd fiddle to Zodz in the Sauber (who got the 17:27 I mentioned earlier).

Zodz is running the C9 with aids. CSA, TC etc. Or they were when I raced them.

They're very fast with aids but still prone to the odd mistake or two in the C9.
 
Big regrets picking the R18 and thinking it'd be similar to the 908.
With the Peugeot i can do 2 laps with 1 fuel efficiency while the R18 i can't even think on doing that, it cost me so many seconds.

Which is comical because the R18 (At least the newer 1) in reality got like 7 mpg and was 1 of the more fuel efficient LMP cars.
 
I’m not liking seeing so much 911’s in race B, and as i dont like using the same car as everyone else, which car is a good car to counter the 911? The closest i could get was with the M6, i tried the gtr, rc f and the v12.

Yes, try the newer AMG or the Mustang... both are more than just capable of winning.

First race for the night, Race B. Tonight I took the Viper for a spin. I was the only one. Compared to the rexy from last night, it felt a lot more stable, but I just couldn't quite beat my qualy time, so I entered with the Suby's time. That got me P9/14. Was a mix of DR/C and D, with Ds in the first 3 positions. a 1:56 for a DR/D seems fishy to me. Was a good mix tonight, not a whole bunch of 911s.

The race starts and auto drive dumps me mid corner of the final corner. Glad I have a habit of "driving" even in auto drive :scared:. T1 was nice and clean... I had a 2s gap behind me. I was doing ok, keeping it on the track, till I got it in the sand :eek:. I had enough forward momentum to keep it going and loose 1 place rather than many places. T1 of the 3rd lap was my only real difficulty.

I braked before the guy in front of me, but his brakes were better than mine, so I knocked him off trying not to knock him off :nervous:. Orange SR and a 3s penalty. I rounded the final corner , pulled over to try serve my penalty and still cross in my position. I was a hair too slow in getting going again and finished P6, half a car length from being P5.

I lost 1 SR and gained a touch over 300 DR. So far I'm ahead of where I was yesterday, but Race C is still to come and anything could happen!
 
Great to be back ata track i can race on, the 'Ring Gp that is.

At this track IMHO it's all about kerbs and exists, i tried the Porsche just because I usually qualify fastest with it but the HIDEOUS changes they made to that car a few months means the TC is terribly intrusive even set to 2, and on 1 I spin. Tried the jag which is outstanding over bumps and same with the Mercedes, the Jag is a touch twitchier so the better qualifying car but the merc my preferred race car. TBH the merc is my best car in Group 3, so stable and strong exits.

Picked up a win last night with SR A's and S', DR B's and C's.
 
It's been an hour so i guess this won't count as a double post... on to Race C. Last night was the Jag, tonight it was the dado. I put pieces of laps together to get an optimal quicker than last nights qualifying, but just couldn't put a whole lap together, so last night's qualifying time was used. I'm fast. I mean mega fast! Yeh, honest!!! The fact that I started P11/16 was just because I was so fast, the timing couldn't keep up with me :sly:. Mixed grid of every DR except E. I was the fastest DR/D.... all 4 of us :lol:.

Auto drive dumps me between chicanes, and I get rammed so hard I'm knocked all the way to the sand trap near the fence on the start/finish line :banghead:. Muppet! Oh wait, I'm supposed to use the word scumbag like in the video :yuck:. So I cross the starting line in last place. Anyhoo, the chase is on! There was only one other Group C car on the grid. I hit Mulsanne and regained 2 positions by raw speed... and lost one of those at the chicane... regained it before the second chicane... and lost it again at said chicane. I circulated for a while, and pitted lap 3 my tires were fading, but I still had 1.3 laps of fuel left. I reckon with short shifting alone, if you can manage the tyres, the dado will do a no stopper.

I came out of the pits P13, and half a lap later was P12. I was closing in on P11 slowly, but just didn't have enough laps left, so P12 for me.

Regained the SR I lost from Race B. DR dropped less than 100. Despite the disappointing start, I'm still ahead of where I finished last night :dopey:. Another day above DR 1 :D.

I don't get the 911 here' it's not great over kerbs and lacks a bit of grunt.

Look at the top 10, and after you drive other cars and then you go to the 911, you see how much easy is to drive it and make corners.

And its so much harder to spin when flooring the gas in the exit of the corners.

I must drive it very differently. it is usually my go-to qualifying car but it just doesn't ride the bumps well, it ets unsettled too easily and therefore hard to get on the gas.

TBH I think it may be best for the truly skilled but for the rest of us, something with a more stable rear end will work better.

So what i learned in LaSarthe:
Never start 3rd place especially with a car with 0 acceleration power against the good hybrids
What a major turn off :boggled:

3rd place and below really do get screwed over on the rolling start there. Even starting on pole you get about 1-1.2 seconds head start from 2nd but at least P2 doesn't start in the chicane. One of the times I started on pole there was a non-hybrid in P2 and I ended up with a 2s gap before T1.
 
starting 3rd behind two close fast guys is almost a guaranteed win because they always throw themselves out fighting each other lol
 
you want somebody to get a guaranteed penalty? turn into somebody who has the inside line then go off , bam free 5 sec penalty

My aim for the week is to get a win in the 787B. It holds its tyres much better than I thought it would.
