I can't stay away from this one can I?

I will be driving the LMP2 ofcourse.

Christian Michel · Mar 23, 2015

Aren't these cars a bit unbalanced?

Frederic Schornstein · Mar 23, 2015

Would have liked to go back once again to Silverstone with the Lola and the good memories from last season, but cant make it unfortunately

@Christian Michel yes the SCES cars are way to fast, but it is only a club race.

The SCES cars are fairly even, and will form the LMP1 class. Meanwhile the Lola will compose the LMP2 class.

Maybe the SCES's should be called LMP0 as they are much faster than real LMP1 cars

I plan on looking into their physics at some point in an attempt to make them more "realistic".

Simon Christmann · Mar 27, 2015

I will try to be there in a Lola. Not sure if i am at home in time.

But the i have a basis to compare the new test version of the physics

Apologies, for the late notice. Family logistics will prevent me attending.

Phil Shillitoe · Mar 27, 2015

Great fun...but nightmare race from me.....pitted a lap or two too late.....then got a 10 sec stop go penalty for speeding........ i decided to pit again with 15 mins to go, and my throttle pedal was showing 50% at idle....causing my engine to blow! On a side note, my clubsport pedals v2 are giving me nothing but grief :-/

Simon Christmann · Mar 27, 2015

Had a suprisingly good qualy which ended on pole. Not normal for me

Start was nice but i was a bit concerend about my very long gears because i joined late and could only find my Monza set.

Frist laps went after plan and i could build a gap to the rest. Then after a few laps the front tires started to loss performance. Pressure, wear and temps seemed to be ok. So i dont know why that happend. But i was not the only one. After 20min i decided to pit and test to slick end. These tires had be awesome and i got quicker each lap. I could catch @Andreas Oehrlich and we had an very hard and intense fight for a couple of laps. Here i suffered most from my long gearing because my topspeed was just to low to attack on the hanger straight. After i claimed P2 with 2laps down i only did some time attack laps to the finish.
