AC 60's LMP @ Le Mans - Weds 9th December 2020

[Medilloni]

Hi, sign me up with the Porsche please!

(this race made me get a premium account )

Welcome Simon, always good to have new people on board

Just you've no last-minute fiddling before tomorrow night, please have a quick read of the rules and using real name in Teamspeak etc. If you want any help please shout out here and we'll lend a hand

I'm in for this one @Medilloni !

TBC on the car...leaning towards the Ford but I have a soft spot for Porsches...decisions, decisions.

Welcome Logan, you're in as TBD for now

I’ll be in the Ferrari Reik, I am quicker in the GT40, was so tempting to jump ship, but must not let “Enzo” down.
Overtaking is going to be very easy for the GT40, very difficult for the Ferrari, Porsche sitting in the middle somewhere. The Porsche will overtake the Ferrari on the long straight. May be able to slipstream the GT40, I got 191mph, it carries a lot less fuel too.
It is not looking good for poor old Ferrari, time will tell, it is going to be a very interesting race.
Reik you will just have to sit the middle circuit out and make Hay on the two straights.

The ford sure sounds sweet.... shame someone forgot to replace the brake pads.... going to still give it a go for schitt's and giggles if you wouldn't mind @Medilloni

That's done for you Scott

It's nice to see such a lot discussioning about the competing cars. It is said that the driver makes the difference but last Sunday George Russel learned us that the car can be of more importance. So choose your weapon wisely !!

BTW: Axel was tonight in his first lap more than a second faster with the GT40 than my best Ferrari time so that looks pretty normal.

that was a really cool experiment....change one thing at a time....

Tried the GT40 tonight with Reik's setup Ernie... so quick, but what a monster Agree with you about overtaking...the Ferrari 'n Porsche etc...

...Then I got to 'old man thinkin', and what Simon (@stribbeck ) maybe alluded to, do I want to grasp the steering wheel like an effing vice all night or simply enjoy the drive and a great dice with mates? That's what I love about these events

 

[Kek700]

I just love Le Mans with no chicanes, I can drink my cup of tea, as soon as I am in fifth gear, and sip away to my heart’s content.

Unfortunately, I have to sign out of this one @Medilloni on account of me not being sure if I can make it home in time. From the few laps I ran tonight it's shame to miss it.

Good luck and have a great race everyone!

I think there will be space so you can join anyway, perhaps only for the second race.

It turns out the roof is so low in the Porsche that when I race with it in VR my brain constantly puts an itching feeling on my head I could just lower my camera in game, but then the steering wheel feels vastly out of whack with reality, and I start to get some motion sickness.

So... that's definitely a weird reason, but I'll switch to the tall-roofed GT40.

 

[Raf Nix]

Well, that's 2 Porsches left only, I'll take one so sign me up please?

 

[Kek700]

You rotter Chris,

I kept quite, thought we may have an advantage over you for once with you in the Porsche.
