As i'm (currently, as i'm writing) racing on Le Mans 24 hours race event with the X1 (Bspec), it started to rain while on sunset a few minutes ago.

I'm kinda lucky, even if i wouldn't be surprised if it happend more than once if i try again the race. But that definintetly something i have to share. :)
The video is HD 720p (so, play with right settings)




That's almost a "live" video as i'm still in the (very boring, thanks to X1) race
 
And later that night :



I guess that would be almost unplayable. nice to have bspec driving here...
 
92 laps in 4 and a half hours and 120 @ 6hrs!?!?!?!? That will complete the total distance of the 2010 Le Mans 24hr (397 laps) in ~18hr. I can't stop laughing, that's so fast.

Let us know how many laps you do.
 
Cool video, thanks for sharing. I'm about 10 hours into my 24hr Le Mans race with the X1 as well. I watch it everynow and then. He's been racing all into the night for hours now. Started off in the mid day.
 
You got stuck behind the same car at the same point of the track in both videos :)
Why does he drive so slow even when there is no one around, it's like he is following the driving line of a toyota prius and he is braking at corners where there is no need.

It seems like if, in most situation, bdriver "knows" the racing line in front of him, hence know where the cars in front of him will be, hence doesn't go there. But if he go where a human being would go, then the other AI cars would probably react by not going there too. What a bspec driver don't anticipate is the cascade of other drivers probable reactions, which an human can do pretty fast if he have good experience of races.

If you didn't see the "Where is X1" video (from the same race, by the way) :

you'll see the bspec driver demonstrating more skills with the X1.
