Oooh, same format as the F1 event.

Am I thinking right that we will use the '67 layout that has only the Ostkurve and the whole Motodrom as "slow sections"?

Nope Hockenheim has chicanes since 1970, would be very boring otherwise

Then don't use the event poster of '69

So the '79 version?

Poster changed

How about you download the track and test

Well, on my assumptions, I tried the '67 one yesterday.

Apart from the strange fact my DynHUD doesn't work in my HSO install and the AI crashing of at Ostkurve and the entrance of the Motodrom, it's nice

Well then, '79 we go...

But WHY doesn't my DynHUD work anymore? It just doesn't show up on my screen all of a sudden, I even tried both WSC70 and GSGT70 form the rfm files to make it show in the right mod, but nothing happens...

I don't know, maybe it has to do with the strange way the cars are sorted ingame (Sports 5000/Porsche 917/Sports 5000 for the 917 for example), I'm guessing its for the very same reason that the cars names aren't displayed in our hotlaps tool.

It worked with the Ford GT40 in the last two races before I switched to the Ferrari

EDIT: Maybe I should add the car name...

Guillaume-why two qualifying sessions?

Non big deal deal-just curious

Because the race will start earlier than usual, because of its length

Aha-I see.

Thanks for remebering us 'across the pond' with the Saturday session

75 tours, à plus de 2 min le tour, ça fait un bon 2 heures et demi cette histoire là. Si qqun peut me vendre une poche urinaire ...

Not much more than 2 minutes, I did 2:14 with a front right flat tyre


Btw: It still doesn't work. My other install is fine. I could choose from WSC70 and CSGT70 to LMT70. The 2 two first mentioned don't work anymore, it was fine when I used the GT40 and the WSC70 as the saving name(taken from the rfm file).

Darn, why you no work?

Has the Ferrari broken the "IT'S... OVER NINETHOUSAND!" barrier?

Guillaume-are driver changes allowed?

I do not think I can do a nearly three hour race by myself. The kids will go nuts. I will have to lock the knives away from my wife.

Would halfing the race distance be an option? Perhaps a ninety minute time limit race?

I think track and race length, resulting in the mentioned distance, have been known for quite some time now. SO I don't think Gui will cut it down...

Not that I want it anyway Maybe some brake failures gonna come our way?

Nope no half distance or driver changes, The real race was like that, and i think its pretty cool to end the series with this hardcore race. There were 9 finishers out of 17 starters 2 years ago by the way.

Present!

Now where did I put my in car port a potty? (also known as a large gatorade bottle)


Oh thank GOODNESS for the pause button for test running the full race offline!!

Here you go, Mike. This can be added to your sim rig...

Guess some carefully timed pit stops will be in order, but I will stay in this one as long as I can....

Any horsepower upgrade for the small economic 906 02?


a 906 11 of 2011 would prolly be much faster

Oh now that IS good but my Gatorade bottle is cheaper and a superb example of recycling.

If you want the ultimate endurance simulation put on a driver suit (2 layer at least), helmet and gloves. Then turn your heater on 110 and put two fans in the room blowing in different directions (so you get all the heat everywhere). 3 hours of that and the least of your worries is having to pee. I have done it a few times. I have lost up to 12 pounds in 3 hours. Last time was at the Gatorama 24 hours of LeMons (that is spelled correct) in the houston area (Motor Sports Ranch Houston - it is a track you can get for rFactor).
