GTP_WRS Week 178 : WRS Goes to Le Mans

[the_wilco]

About an hour in and one clean lap to show for it. Having to keep TCS on 1 to keep control.

Almost certainly not. I only got the two easy ones.

Oh no he is not. Vaxen has been kind enough to keep us leaderboarded and resulted (adj. ) for years now. The almighty lord of Promotions For that goes our gratitude
Everyone make sure you are on the right rubber for this one, Racing Mediums that is 👍

10 laps in. OH! The PowaH! Not my best lap but there's almost 2 seconds to get from my theoretical best so... Try not to fight the track with this car. Let it run where it may and gently guide it where you want it to go. Short shift out of the slower turns and over those "hoppy" spots. Little bit of throttle goes a long way for stabilizing this thing in the twisties.

Hey guys, not sure if anyone has seen this, but there is a new docu series on Amazon prime video, called Le Mans - Racing is everything.
It looks and sounds brilliant, early reviews I've seen say it captures what it is to race at Le mans brilliantly. Thought I'd share with you you guys. Here's a link

Whish I was there as planed, guys!

 

[schmues_hh]

For me every second with this car is a tough fight and I have no idea how I could change that. It is really exhausting. I've stopped counting the red laps. Not to mention the dirty ones.

I've tried a lot with the brake balance. Currently I am at 7/4.

Ok so apparently you can use single digits as seconds. Today I learned.

Hey guys, now uni is out of the way for another semester I've decided to come back. Although I tried to submit a lap and was rejected for just about having everything wrong. Is there anything special that I need to do this week?

 

[Meister Fetz]

Last year was hard. This year it's impossible.

It's by far the easiest drive we tested without tuning.
BB 5/5 just works fine.

I might just be losing it then

 

[mistersafeway]

That, or the other combos were just disgustingly difficult.

 

[roamer2629]

Last year was hard. This year it's impossible.

We are between a rock and a hard place here, most cars fast enough for LeMans have insane LSD settings, others have too short a tranny for the long straights (Mulsanne). We tested many cars on a DS3 and a wheel, and some were plain impossible for most people (Disgustingly difficult indeed ). Surely not enjoyable for a TT to say the least. That said, we sometimes go for the hard lesson: Few challenges as demanding as a R390 at LeMans. This one is all about learning when to hit the go pedal at the exact moment, because a bit too soon or too late will fly you into a wall And hey, we didn't go full sadistic and fit Racing Hards
Will start running this one as soon as my thumb heals.

 

[epic_apri_39]

And hey, we didn't go full sadistic and fit Racing Hards

Well I know where I've gone wrong

Sorry guys, I seemed to have caused a bit of an uproar again (Literally one of the only things I'm good at)

 

[Spirit]

Are we doing the same thing we did for previous Le Mans combos and ignoring the white lines in the Mulsanne chicanes as long as we are within the curbing? I ran my first laps under this premise as I had a difficult time understanding what the OP is saying.

Fastest and only clean lap of my three installment laps. Brake balance 4/5.
