A message to all Drivers

If you run off track, you have to check to see that its clear before you re enter the track. Do not just keep the gas pinned and pull back on track.

When entering the track from the pits, stay off the racing line until you are up to speed. Do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by. On re-entering the track stay off the racing line until you are up to race speed and do not block any fast approaching car.

Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody off the track and carry on like nothing happened, you take the risk of being banned for 30 days.
2. Instead, you should always wait for the affected drivers, and that way you can be 100% sure you will not get a ban.

Track limits

1. No more than 2 wheels over the white/yellow line without a lift of the gas please.
   You will be penalized if you break our rules

Note: Please use your full real name in teamspeak & server. Not doing so WILL result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

 

[640er]

If my mobile internet is good enough I'll take part. C9 of course

You're in Andreas, welcome!

 

[Bobby Pennington]

I've died and gone to heaven. I'll just put my entry here. Thanks for this @Medilloni I'll be driving at a snails pace, but it wouldn't be Le Mans without a Screaming Banshee

 

[Kek700]

@Medilloni
I’ll join the rush ( I hope ), Porsche Long Tail please John. Don’t know why I am so looking forward to this race, irrespective of my pace and class this circuit has always been my personal hell.
Let’s hope group C can change that.

 

[HF2000]

Oh man, one hour!!!! I have to take the C9 here as I expect to loose too much time on the straights with the ST here even with the chicanes but the Merc needs a lot of concentration so I guess I will need some oxygen and new underwear afterwards.

Question: 200% fuel means more fuel consumption? And tyre 150% means more tyre wear?

You're in with the screamer Bobby - and thanks for your help with this too!

You're in with the LT, good to see you matey Glad you're looking forward to it, I find it a hard track too, straights are so long I forget where I am

Welcome Han, one C9 for you

Re your question, yes, normal server settings are usually 100% for both fuel 'n tyres (as in real life). For this race fuel and tyres will be used up much faster, so strategy - fuel and tyre stops, amount of boost used etc - will play a bigger part,

 

[SOLO59]

Think I had Mazda last Group C event. Sign me in please in the Porsche LT!

Okay, I will immediately start training pitstops with my crew!

At your age, you'll need some help with these teammates. I'll do the heroic and selfless thing and volunteer to take at least 2 (3 would be better) off of your hands and I'll, uhum, train with them

 

[GEO147]

I hope you are an equal opportunities employer Han, and room for me too in the pits. I'm a hard worker, pleeeeaaasssee.

I think I'll take the Mazda John.

Welcome George, a screamer for you too

 

[Kek700]

What has @HF2000 got that I haven’t, My pit crew look nothing like Han‘s pit crew.

I lodge a protest.

 

[pattikins]

John, count me in please. I know I'm going to regret it, but I'll stick with the ST.

 

[Medilloni]

John, count me in please. I know I'm going to regret it, but I'll stick with the ST.

Welcome Patrick, an ST for you

I know the feeling, I really enjoy driving the ST too - need to do some running for fuel and tyres, might be a tortoise and hare jobby

 

[Axel Moebius]

I'm in C9
