A message to all Drivers

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

Always try to re-enter the track parallel to the racing line.

When joining the track from the pits, remain inside the white line and stay off the racing line until you are up to speed.

During qualification, do not race on your out lap, let other drivers by.


Golden Rule

1. If you hit somebody, sending them 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 Discord. Not doing so may result in you being kicked from the server if an admin cannot identify you as a premium member.

Practice server #12 is up

 

[Shed 17]

I’m in Brian. Ok

 

[random2k4]

1.4 hour race should be interesting. Going two long medium stints, 3 shorter soft ones of trying to go 2 soft stints with burning tires. Next race then 2.4 hours?
Hope I can make it in the Z4.

Some quick testing looks like 2x softs will be ok. Not a huge amount of tyre wear on this track.

Uh oh.. also, what is 1.4h? Why not 1.5?

Mainly so the scg can 1 stop it

Really strange. What is 1.4h? 80 minutes? Are we using very cold road temps for this also?

I just checked and 1.4h = 84 minutes, so why not just 1.5h = 90 minutes?

 

[Interslice]

All the info is above.

Which pit exit are we using for this race?

Either is fine, might be better to go long if a car is coming through.

I was going for the Le Man's special, but as we have only Han and Michael with the GTR, I thought I would join them and make it three Lamborghinis and three GT-R's.
Japan vs Italy.

I think Germany are in there too.

Nice one Ernie! I'll be driving something italian anyway I've been trying all week to make the ferrari work, but I'm leaning more up the lambo road after today!

 

[random2k4]

we need one more BMW, Merc of Audi to get in a decent number for the German power house

 

[Shed 17]

This should be interesting! First time out in the Italian stallion, so far I have managed consecutive laps without throwing it into the French countryside!

 

[Goblin616]

3 Italian, 3 Japanese, 2 German. One more German at least. Should we race as teams this time round?

 

[The Almighty Snark]

Signed up in my trusty 911! Will probably be a bit late due to attending birthdays and such but it'll be a nice wind down in the evening with the real Le Mans running in the background!

 

[Goblin616]

I've quickly put together a setup for the 488-GT3 that is stable. I haven't done much running in it, but for those that say it's undrivable around here I'd like to share it with you so you might be able to use that car if it you like to.

 

[Goblin616]

BEWARE! If you go off at "Essess" d'Indianapolis, and through the barrier you will go off the map!
