What is better than having a Le Mans event in the summertime around the time of the real life race? Another Le Mans event in the autumn when the temperature is going down and makes sitting in the chair for 72 minutes a lot less sweaty and more comfortable!

INFORMATION & BASIC RULES

  • It is the responsibility of faster cars to safely overtake slower cars. When a faster car is overtaking a slower car (in a different class), whether a blue flag is being shown to the slower car or not, the slower car should be predictable and remain on the racing line. The faster car should execute the overtake only when it is safe to do so. If a faster car is lapping another car in the same class then the same rule applies; some cooperation may be required to facilitate the overtake. Please be sensible.
  • All of the standard Racing Club Rules still apply to this event.
  • You do not need to nominate which car you will drive, but should specify in which class you would like to drive when signing up.

Lucky Friday 13th!
Given the Oreca LMP2 is using the new tyre model, and the Cadillac DPi uses the old, I figured we'd bring te Cadillac to Le Mans this time around. Hopefully we can get a few drivers in so we actually get to race this week, I've loved every time we've used this circuit :)
 
Any tips in terms of tyres and pressures? Could a set of medium/hard last entire race?

Is rFactor2 as sensitive regarding pressures as say ACC?
Lowest tyre pressure is fastest so you want to use that. It should be doable to do the whole race on hards depending on driving style. Mediums I doubt, you'd have to be really careful which might not be worth it. In my experience if you go towards 40% of tyre life laptimes will usually drop a lot so you don't want to go below that.

Thanks Michael, that’s useful info.
