Désolé,je n'ai que 1983,le Mans.et en solo j'ai toute les voitures.

in 1983 there will be a World Endurance Championship set of cars choose your Porsche from there, If not just join in the LE Mans version of the car.


en 1983 il y aura un ensemble Championnat du Monde d'Endurance de voitures choisissez votre Porsche à partir de là , si non seulement participer à la version Le Mans de la voiture .

what a race, what cars, what beauty... just cruising around is wonderfull, and if racing too...
thanks Jason and Dana... you pulled out best of me

Replay of the broadcast here : 1983 AvD Hockenheim

Results are up and Gold star standings are updated

Thanks to all that entered

Thanks Ben for Streaming. Looked like there have been a lot of good fight, sadly not on my position. Should have testet that a day before the race

Thank you Ben for covering the race!!

Just a couple of notes.

1, We know Gerard used the wrong car, there was a problem with the language barrier, no harm done
2nd point, Yves, not only managed to use the Le Mans version of his car, you should have used the WEC version, but you managed to pick the wrong number too  You was #4 yet you chose #5. Again no harm done, just double check your cars before you start racing and make sure you know where they are in game, i know its a complicated menu layout, but please just make sure in future

Was great racing with Mike, Very clean and fair

Well done to Dave Miller too on winning the Group C Junior class

I have to apologize to the back half of the grid. My car had a tall first gear, and I don't have a clutch. I bogged leaving the grid and it slowed EVERYONE down, and I am sincerely sorry.

Happy to have finished 7th, but sad to have done so at the expense of others retiring.

Made a single error and lost control coming out of 1 and slammed into the wall-but it didn't seem to affect the car.

Had hopes of catching Jonathan throughout the race-but he is a better racer than I....

Many thanks to Richard and David Sabre to responding to my PMs for help.

Sim Racer I am?........YES!!!!!!

Sim setter upper?........ NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hoping to see more of this mod at CMS in the future in HSOs Sunday slot.

Pretty please....

Was an interesting race, was struggling to find the feel for the car that I had a week or so ago (been driving too much Holden   ) but managed to find the grove shortly before Qualifying ended.

I had the car set up for the race and was using Hard Tires so was taking it very gingerly in the opening laps and was sitting nicely in 11th or 12th place which I was happy with.

Then a massive pile-up occured in Brems-Kurve resulting in me just about sneaking through arriving a bit too quickly as I didn't see the yellow flags in time. Gained 4 or 5 places and was suddenly in 7th place

James was close behind me but I found that I had the speed in the Stadium turns to keep him behind. Had I had more straight line speed to know that I wouldn't be left for dead because I wouldn't be able to get by in the few turns this circuit has, I'd have dropped back so that we could have had a nice little battle
Thank you for thinking me a better sim-racer, I'm simply consistent, I only made one error which was that I pushed too hard in T1 and made a 360 after hitting the cerb with the left rear, 4-5 seconds lost so happy in those regards as well as I tend to make 2 or 3 misstakes in races

But overall had a good bit of fun, very happy with best of the rest (non Lancia or 956) which was the aim for the event as there were no way to compete with those two cars in outright pace

Again, sorry for holding you up Raul, thought I had more of a gap to rejoin the track with, sadly I ended up right in front of you.


Thanks for organizing a nice event and I too would be happy to see a event or 2 with these next year (or one more before the year is over unless there is a TCL or something else planned allready)

To go with the excellent TV coverage, we also have screenies

Amazing HSO tonight, results, screens, broadcast, less 1 hour after the race.

Quick enough that we should all recieve a salary

Great work on the broadcast was laughing when you called James Knowles the "Headlight Man"

I was with Phil on TS and we laughed about the accident, i've completely lost the brakes. It's strange when you hit them and suddenly the car doesn't stop properly (or stop to).

Sorry to David and Jonatan who (i think) were involved in the accident. Otherwise, this mod is sick!! very challenging and tasty to drive   .

Congrats to all

Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs

Great work tonight, thanks HSO

I hate that @#$&% Ostkurve chicane!

Really awesome drive by Richard. I was slightly faster but kept making micro mistakes. We passed each other several times. Last time I passed I blew the 3rd chicane and let Richard pass afterwards. After that I never saw the lead again. I then totally blew turn 1 with about 8 laps to go and he walked 4 seconds away. Traffic allowed me to catch up but another micro mistake when I caught Richard ended it. I needed one more lap!

Excellent driving by the cars in the other class. Great judgement calls several times. All cars being lapped were extremely polite.

Wow what a crash in the screen shots.

Grats Richard! Indy revisited but closer

I've no idea how you were so much quicker on the straight, but I seemed to be quicker than you in the stadium section, great fun anyway!

damn i missed this , great video Ben!

"surpise surpise what happens"

miss the racing with you guys but hope to get back soon

Excellent TV coverage. My girlfriend enjoyed watching it too.

Owwww some of those wrecks were brutal.

For the record I petitioned to loosen up the evil chicane from Hell!

I would point out that we all ran into the right hand barrier, not the new left hand one! LOL
