You May use any LMP or Group C thats Fits into the Regulations

Rules

No - Bashing / Pushing / Ramming into other drivers.
No - cutting corners or chicanes. Always keep two wheels on the track @ all times. ( On the correct side of the ruble strips)
On La Sarthe do not go outside the BLUE Paint @ Tetre Rouge ( The right turn before Mulsane Straight)

Do Not overtake someone unless you can do it without making contact with their car.

Lapped Drivers hold your racing line & let the other driver go around you

Use common sense - if your drafting someone dont brake at the same point as you usually would and smash right into the back of them at a corner.

Info
If you are racing add me to your PSN BEFORE the race start (dont send it @ race start please). or you can message me on PSN BEFORE the race start and ill send you the Room #
Also I will post the room # 30 mins before the race .

Before starting the 1 hour race i will run a 1 lap race to see if anyone has a bad connection. If you do and your car is bouncing around the track hitting others i will ask you to leave please.

**NEW** Lap 1 will now be a be a pace lap, in case any drivers get a black screen on race start. The Lead car cannot go over 100 MPH and everyone will line up in the same order as the 1 lap .

my time zone is (GMT-5) if that makes it easy for you guys to figure out , so the UK is 5 hours ahead of me.

If you are someone who will just quit on lap 2 if your not in first - This is not for you.

If your someone who cant overtake without hitting other drivers - This is not for you.


If you love competition and will race till the end even if your not in 1st place - Please sign up

Its an option needed for sure in a future update, to add timed races instead of lapped ones.

Yea , this is true, for now we just have to make due.

acutally 17-18 laps is about an hour on La Sarthe . figured i would just round up to 20.
 
interested, could i possibly enter with my corvette ZR1 RM?

no , no ZR1, it can barley keep up anyway... you may be able to put over 900 hp in but it will slowly lag behind the pack.

We know because tons of people join our rooms and try to run the ZR1 then they quit after half a lap
 
I'm interested, but I'm pretty busy the next few days. If you keep this going I'll definitely enter in. The Le Mans cars are some of my favorites.

Is anyone interested in doing one of these tomorrow on 5th or 6th ?
 
Yes but I would prefer around a 24 hours heads up for future events

yes, def.

this was more like a test run with me and my friends/ i really didnt think anyone would be interested.

: Hope everyone that participated enjoyed the first race.

Jake in the 908 was on pole followed by Paginas & Forza in the Toyota Minoltas. Race started with 15 cars on the Grid.
The Race was dominated by Jake in the 908 until he had to retire. Paginas (Minolta ) took first place followed by me in the Audi R8 and Ayrton in the R89C.
An early tire pitstop by the Minolta allowed me to take the lead. Costly mistakes caused Ayrton to lose time in 3rd.
First pitstop for fuel/tires i still managed to come out in first 2.5 seconds in front of Ayrton .
The Audi and R89C battled for First a few laps but after lap 11 the R8 would hold the lead for the rest of the Race.
I took a gamble and did not pit for a second time the rest of the race.
Ayrton would run out of fuel @ in sector 2 in the last lap dropping from 2nd to 6th.
My tires ran out in sector 3 on the last lap and my 1 min 35 second lead was cut down to 32 seconds by the time i reached the finish line.
