For me, Bob barely clutched a race win in the 24Mins of Le Mans in the Chaparral 2X. For those of you unfamiliar with the electric cars, they are an absolute pain to run with in endurance races, because no matter what, each time you pit in, you have to fully re-charge the battery (at least it's an express charger, but still, they have really long pitstops). My chaparral 2X was detuned to 750PP by adding 200kg ballast and applying a power limiter to bring the power down, resulting in 850BHP/650Kg.
On the plus side, the 2X can out-speed anything and everything on the Mulsanne straight. Problem is the car can only barely do two whole laps before requiring a recharge.
It was the last lap. The car had just cleared the Porsche curves when the car had suddenly slowed - the battery had run out of charge with mere metres to go. The car had to crawl through at pit-lane speeds to avoid sliding to a halt. As the 2X crawled past the pit-lane entry, the car behind - A Pescarolo C60 Hybride - was close to completing its dogged pursuit of the LMP of the future. The Pescarolo driver was pushing his damndest to get ahead while the 2X was practically a sitting duck. However, the gap was just too large to surmount. The 2X crossed the line just as the Pescarolo had reached the middle section of the Ford Chicanes.
I couldn't believe Bob's luck. If the line had been placed midway between the exit of the Ford Chicanes and the entrance into the Dunlop Curve, then Bob would've been staring at the spoiler and eating the exhaust fumes of the Pescarolo. It was one of my closest-run victories using B-Spec for completion purposes rather than grinding.
Unfortunately the other entries I've tried with bob, have resulted in less-than-desirable outcomes. The most common of which was bob spearheading the barrier at the Mulsanne corner with the Nismo GT-R LMP1.
