Round 6 - Hockenheim [August 26th]

I am at an absolute quandary over whether to do this race or not. I have a conflicting race at another forum using the Enduracers Le Mans mod, where I could drive a Lamborghini GT1 at the Silverstone wing circuit.

Pros
-Love this mod, more than the Enduracers mod
-Always am racing closely with someone here, not so true with Enduracers
-Last race for this mod at HSO for now, will miss it much

Cons
-Absolutely no way I can finish this race-can easily finish the other race (only 75 minutes)


Will do some testing over the next week. If the kids got invited over for a playdate next Sunday it would help in making my decision, and if I am bitterly slow that will help also

James should you participate a race here because your car will be very powerful

I'll be there for the race but won't be able to do either qualifying session due to work

Guillaume,

What says the regulations regarding being classified a finisher for this race?

Running at the end?

Completion of ??% of the race?

Ah-let me phrase it differently...

If I drop out of the race before it ends-I am DNF.

If I drive into the pits and park in my pit stall when it becomes necessary (i.e. kids are going nuts, wife threatens divorce) and shut off the car. Restart and take the checker-then I am classified. In this situation I was asking if a minimal distance is necessary to complete to be classified.

You'll be classified whatever distance you cover, that's as simple as that.

Go to the pits, take a "virtual nap" and come back out when you're finished

Simple is very good-thanks!!

Dont forget the first qualifying sesion tomorrow people

Présent Merçi Guillaume pour le rappel.

Driving in GPVWC Superleague, so mostly likely not present for the first one.

Absent pour la qualif de ce soir, j'espere être rentré pour la derniere heure de celle de samedi
.... de toute façon celà ne devrai pas beaucoup changer ma place sur la grille pour la longue course de dimanche

Assuming my entry is accepted, I will be qualifying tonight as away saturday

So Present!!!

The first qualifying session has started

I'll start from the back, since I'm still running with my semi-fried GPU. My new one will be here only tomorrow, asnd Saturday I don't really believe I'll masnage to be on the 2nd qualy

oh man ....


all drivers today in 2:05 ... the 512S and yves with the 906/02...

then times dropped with a 917K appearing. 2:01.7

But i was able to make a 203 with a 906 02 ... and what? my Steering wheel broke off.

After 11 years.

I will put it into the cellar it was my very first, i bought it, it was a special edition and lasted 11 years!!!! so great.

Thank you, the legendary red momo force.


i am out until i have a new wheel.

Provisional grid

1 Lorenzo Arisi 1:58,068
2 Vincent Beretta 2:01,204
3 Carl Larrad 2:03,969
4 Mike Becnel 2:04,165
5 Gerard Ryon 2:04,377
6 Jens Kraft 2:04,574
7 Richard Coxon 2:04,889
8 Yves Placais 2:05,173
9 Franck Mercurio 2:05,815

I expected Lorenzo to break the sound barrier but Carl's time in a 3000 class car is just amazing!

THX Mike but i am blessed with a beautiful car ...

Good Golly!!! I really am not keen on the 917!!! Wish i had stuck with the 902/whatever there called!!

Think my urge for power took over common sense!!! I love the car but man it is a handful, Tried Vincent's setup (Thanks) but his and my driving style must differ massively! Hopefully i can run around without missing a braking point which seems to be my biggest problem with this car, Either locking the brakes up or its pulling to one side when braking, Hat goes off to Vincent to get that good of a time!!

Well done to Mike, You can give me tips since i helped you a bit in spa!
Also i echo what Mike said, Great time Carl and for Lorenzo!

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Truly magnificent!!!

Carl-could you offer some setup tips so my car can be as beautiful? Right now it is not exactly ugly (in other words, you would willingly 'take her home from the bar'), but if I could get it closer to your times she would approach a Miss Universe-like level of beauty...

I think I've come to the realization that I am unwilling to brake as late as the faster guys with this mod

Reducing the braking pressure % helps a lot to brake easily. I think its around 80% on my setup.

Présent samedi et dimanche !!
