LMP2 & GTE (RF2 packs) : hot tyres pressure target

[nounoubleu]

Hello
I recently bought these 2 nice packs and I wonder what should I target as correct hot pressure?
In real life, correct hot pressure on GT cars is around 1,9bars (and cold pressure is between 1,1 and 1.4 depending on car/car/track/weather conditions) but it's pehaps different here.

Nobody is giving up their super secret tire pressure settings
The lowest allowed pressure will give you the most grip because of the increased contact patch. Because these cars use tire warmers, you set a hot (60 °c) pressure in the garage.
Is it the fastest over an endurance race, that i do not know for sure.

An answer finally
Thank you
So, I assume S397 talented modders duplicate real life and considered correct hot pressure on GT cars should be around 1.9 bars.

"Correct" tire pressure only depends on what do you want from the tire.

Actually, in real life it doesn't work exactly like that.
Combo tyres-car have preferred pressure range to be most efficient, as well as temperature for the compound.
If it's too low, carcass will be too soft, it will be like very soft suspension setting, less precise handling. (however you may heat air inside more quickly)
If it's too high, you'll lose some contact patch of course.
So, depending on conditions/driver/circuit you need to adjust your cold pressure but hot pressure target remain roughly the same.

To my experience with rFactor 2, increased grip always outweigh the lless precise handling.
Go and see if youre faster over few hours with 1,9 bar versus 1,5 bar.

Does anyone have a set up for the lmp2 orcera 07 everyone else is 30 mph faster then me cant figure it out all that happens is my engine blows on first lap lol

Hi guys.

Can anyone send me a set up for the new s397 le mans for a gte car. I have no idea how to set up a car and would like to at least be on a level playing field as the rest of the pack on Friday night.

Thanks,
Vern

Stupid question : which aero package do you use?

When u select a car you can klik on "Tuning"

Here you can choose a aero package use the "low drag" setup

Go to garage en set gearbox ratio to "long"

I think its a shame that its not so open community, i had the same problem and asked it to manny different people and nobody was willing to share some information about setups.

• "Le Mans" v1.15 - recent update
  
• Low downforce package for GTE/LMP is now forced. This also means AI will use the low downforce package at default.
