2018 12 Hours of Sebring (Live Stream)

3 GTLMs didn't come in so they're leading... could be interesting when it comes to the restart
nevermind the PTs going through now... sensible decision!

 

[Tbear]

wow! wow! WTF was that flip!!!!

Looks like he clipped the rear of that spinning prototype, and over she goes.

BTW ... have modders done any LMP2's for Assetto Corsa? How about the new BMW M8 in GTLM? Interesting cars!

Hoping to get to Silverstone in August for the WEC so I can hear it. They didn't put that exhaust on until Le Mans last year so didn't have it when I was there in April.

Ear splitting loud is how I would describe it. Good, but oh so loud.

Exactly the way a race car is meant to sound!! .... **cough cough F1 cough**

 

[farjam]

lexus cars are fast it seems ! both of them are fastest GTDs so far

 

[Tbear]

Yikes! The Fords come together getting out of the pits ... that ain't good.

I'll see ya there boss, you'll find me lugging a 600mm lens and camera around! lol

 

[farjam]

Yeah I use it for timing purpose but I don't like to risk too much video, internet on Guernsey is not very quick!

ouch 600mm!! That must weigh a lot. I switched to a sony mirrorless A6000 last year (previously sony APS-C with 300mm lens) with a 210 and got some pretty good shots.

My personal recommendation is the URD mods. A little old now but can be bought for RF2 and Assetto Corsa. They are on the whole well liked (and there are lots of skins for them on here).

There was an Oreca 07 released towards the end of last year but although it looked great I understand the physics were poor, it was also about £12 or something like that.

It could be included with this pack https://www.********************/product/assetto-corsa-wec-2017-lmp2-mod/ which I see has some DPi's with it as well. There is a Mazda DPi floating around on the internet too.

I suppose you could include the Enduracer mod on RF2 but that's very Marmite. Some people love it and some others hate it, one because of the age of the cars, and two the physics seems to divide people greatly.

Corvette has another shaky start uh oh

I have that pack from assetto mods. Its ok if you really want some LMP2s like I did, but its not great. The models look ok, but when I was trying to do the United Autosports Alonso/Norris/Hanson Daytona skin on the ligier, it was all over the place (not symetrical with the UV amongst other issues). They drive not too bad in my very limited running, but the audio is terrible - for example they used the Kunos sound for the 919 on the ligier - including the hybrid sounds! Also the included skins are very poor quality for most of them. I also have the URD PX2 which is better, but not up to some of URDs other mods, and they never provided a template for skinning for it.

Haha, Yeah my shoulder still hasn't recovered from last year, lol. Joking aside I have a 70-350mm Nikon lens and on the whole that does a cracking job. Middle of last year I treated myself to a 150-600mm Sigma for an airshow. Incredible lens but not something I would always want to carry with me all day.

I'm hoping to do Spa 24 this year and I think it would certainly come in handy there.

A quick example from IAT, weather was terrible. Rained all day and no light; a real shame. About 500mm. The slight vignette I added in afterwards.

That's enough of that, on with the race!

Yeah I think someone said it was useful if maybe you wanted to simulate an IMSA race and you were driving a GT3 car, at least you had the right prototypes alongside you in the race.

Indeed... last one.. I was in the grandstand on start finish straight for most of the 6hrs so didn't need a huge lens... here's one of the RSR before it sounds as good as it does now
#91 Porsche GT Team 911 RSR 2017 on pit straight by Dave Williams, on Flickr

Funnily enough I did exactly that yesterday and drove the 911 RSR. It's on my youtube The AI was actually quite reasonable when they came around to lap us. Shame my driving wasn't so good lol

12:30 and Fox Sports just switched coverage ... and now my local carrier no longer provides the OTHER part of the stupid Fox Sports network. Boy, did THEY just get an earful on the phone.

I can't find streaming anywhere. My race is done. This sucks.

That sucks. Can't believe you Americans get such a raw deal on this when the race and series is based in that country.

If you have FS1 through a cable company you should be able to stream FS2 and FoxGo. I am going through Amazon Fire and xFinity. Good Luck
