Uhm, no. The moving chicanes will be wedge shaped.

Looks like I 'should' be able to make this one. No time for testing, so someone suggest me a car. I wanted the delta wing, but looks like Air has that one already. I could run the new Nissan GTR of its not been called for already.

Duplicates are allowed and there are 2 paint schemes for the Delta Wing, so you're free to run it.

Bentley is a good car. Sounds nice. Drives ok. Faster than the 908 don't know how it is on fuel.

Yes you can.

So, when the "yellow" comes out, is it a race back to the line or do we hold our positions?

Do lap cars go to the back of is it a frozen grid and you start where you are in the grid. If a lap car happens to be between first and second to bad. That us how you start.

Frozen field. No passing under yellow. Lap cars start where they are. (Of course, pit stops may jumble things)

There are two different Delta Wings though I would love someone to run the new Nissan GT-R.

Hold position. Stay in order and catch up with the leader.

What gods do we pray to in order to get a clean race room with no glitching? We will do a front straight line up "roll call" before the start of qualifying to ensure that everyone is in the room and that everyone can see all the competitors.

I will try the Bentley , for us old blind folk will driving line be allowed ?

I tried the new Nissan gtr and found it to be quite the handful and just plain weird to drive !!

Driving line? Yeah, there's a little white dotted thing in the middle of the road. No aides except TC and ABS. And Shhhhhh on the Nissan. We're trying to get Spool to drive it.

This is shaping up to be an epic event. We have a great field with a lot of variety. Here is what I have so far:

Dean - Peugeot 908 Base Orange

Brad - Peugeot 908 Base Blue

Grae - Courage-Judd GV5 #18

T.J. - Audi R8 '01

Spool - Delta Wing

Air - Delta Wing LeMans

Nick - Audi R8 '06

Mudd - Bentley Speed 8

Argo - Courage-Judd GV5 #17

Sauce - Peugeot 908

Did I miss anyone?

In reply to Argo1:

I'm not sure I can make it at this point so I've avoided claiming a car that someone who knew they could might take. I should know tomorrow if I can make it, at which point I'll arbitrarily pick a car since the only practice I've done was after the races Sunday night and that wasn't much of a test. I know it won't be the Bentley as I didn't much care for it, but I might try one of the Audis if they aren't terrible to drive.

In reply to e30Matt: Audi's are easy to drive and competitive. The R10 is available.

Question / Consideration:

What will the draft be set at?

Normally we run High for passing reasons, but with this race you might want to run Real. There is unlikely to be much close racing and High could create collision issues as well as running out of gear in most cars.

In reply to aircooled: It is set to high at the present time. The limited running that I did with other cars revealed no real issues. It seemed to make passing cleanly easier.

Others have spent more time practicing with others. What say ye?

I say, high is fine, but we need to avoid the temptation to use it to try and immediately re-pass on Mulsanne. That is where there will be contact.

@Air... your target lap time in the DeltaWing is 3:41

We will see. Those things are a beast to drive fast. The bumps where killing me when I tried it. I will have to turn my force feedback down or I will be shot by the end.

Sub 3:40 times on the delta wing are possible, I just don't that you can make those repeatable for an hour +. I still have to unlock the GTR. My game keeps freezing on the last GT academy challenge. If not I'll hop in the other delta wing. Air, which one are you using?

EDIT: for authenticity, we should all use cockpit views

Everyone's target lap times and fuel consumption calculations are wonderful but...

be prepared for this, and plenty of it, just like at LeMans this year:

Strategies out the window. The one who doesn't make mistakes and adapts their strategy on the fly will win.

I am going back to my original ride, #17 Courage-Judd, strictly to piss off my son. (and the Audi was boring..)

Make certain that you have purchased rain tires for your car before the race!

(P.S. - 900ft/lbs of torque is NOT an asset in the wet!)

I'm sure that is exactly how the Dr. Ullrich debriefs the Audi team.

I'll still be without TCS or ABS. I just can't bring myself to turn the nannies on. Beware the ugly Audi

What about the new Nissan LMP2 car? I know it's down on PP compared to others, but it could be more fuel effecient. Is it legal?
