AC GT3 @ Le Mans - Sun 5th Jan 2020

[JoelK]

Sign me up please! Nissan GTR.
I would take LMP but won't have time to practice both gt3 and lmp should there not be enough sign ups for lmp.

Just got a new monitor and gpu... Hopefully I can fix freesync brightness flickering. Trying everything without much luck. Either way, I'm racing Sunday!

sign me up! R18

if we only run gt3. Z4

Welcome guys !

 

[JoelK]

Event has now been changed to GT3 Only, due to lack of LMP drivers.

 

[GEO147]

650 please Joel

 

[GEO147]

Are we still going to do an hour?

Are we still going to do an hour?

I hope so.


Edit: the last time I raced here with the SCG I came up short of the finish line, so I've meticulously calculated 126+2 litres for an hour's race.

 

[JoelK]

Are we still going to do an hour?

Yes we will

 

[JussiS]

GT-R please

 

[Raresch]

I don't feel like racing today. I just don't feel the track at all. Please sign me out.

 

[Chris Down]

Shall we reschedule this one due to the low attendance?

 

[pattikins]

Shall we reschedule this one due to the low attendance?

I'm not always guaranteed to be off work on a Sunday, so I'd rather race regardless of the level of attendance.

I'm down for racing with low attendance but we can change the race format to 2x20min races for making it a bit less of a drive-by in the no-mans land

 

[GEO147]

I think we might get better attendance if it was a Sunday GT3 race. It seems to me the participation dropped when the multiclass element was introduced. Not sure.
And Le Man's really setup for multi so if numbers are low it's not ideal in GT3 only either.
Need to try something to get participation back up as this seems to be happening a lot now

I'd rather do an hour race or @ the very least 2x30 min races.

I thought multiclass would get a bit more traction now, since it's been on a break for a while, but clearly that's not the case.

Next week's race will be a ordinary GT3 race.

Race server is up with the correct password and 2x30min race format

 

[Chris Down]

Sorry not to be there, I (incorrectly) believed with <=10 people we'd reschedule based on what happened in previous races. My bad

 

[GEO147]

Sorry for leaving early guys my dinner was on table just at end of first race.
Pity I messed up so bad was going ok for a while and then had a pretty bad spin

 

[Birche]

Sorry @Medilloni for my tap on you on the second race, it was not I wanted.
I did but too much trust on helicorsa app, the apps show it was clear but it wasn't

 

[Medilloni]

Thanks for organising @JoelK and congrats to the podium guys

Not sure what happened at the start of the 2nd race, happy with my start and gained a couple of places, then got hit up the arse, from someone rejoining the track I think

Apologies too for quiting the 2nd race early, my pedals broke away from the Playseat yet again... will need to use something better than zip ties this time Oversize tube sleeve and jubilee clips is next

No worries Dennis, I was at a loss 'cos my Helicorsa didn't show a car there either, which is weird, but it's not the first time - it seems not so reliable as I thought
