    Hi Matteo,
    You can change from 1 car class to another car class (GT3 to LMH and back), but you can not change cars within the same class of GT3 or LMH.
    Also, If you go from GT3 to LMH and then back to GT3, you have to use the same GT3 car as before and visa versa.

    Btw, if changing car class makes you a red light, then you can't race. Only green lights get the password.

    I haven't done a whole 2,4 hours test at 520 Kw, so that's for you to find out.

    Have not compared the tyre warmers, but maybe one is warmer then the other? Don't know.

    Ok John, so if I choose 499P for hypercars and AMG for GT3 I can do some race with 499P and some others with AMG? ( as long as it has green light)

    Strange thing is that with normal power I use 6 liters per lap, with maximum power I’m 10 second faster and I use 5,75 liter per lap o_O

    There doesn't appear to be any difference between them - both warm the tyres to 67 degrees (21 without warming them).

    I can see the start being confusing...double fie/ single file? when exactly after the first chicane do you go from?

    all good in my end. only that my car went 4 kilometers per hour too fast on limiter so apparently constant speeding on pits.

    Rain was quite light when i stopped, so put slicks on again... It got wetter... oh well. Would have been useful to know the rain level youd set it to and the magicv car setting that allows it to go 20 sec a lap faster

    Nice race, hypercars are incredibly funny, I made too many mistakes during the rain, I had to repair the damages a couple of times, it will serve as experience for the next races.
    GT3 drivers have been very careful to always leave the way to hypercars, in Imola it will be much more complicated

    @Toni Talvitie sorry for the duobe knock on lap 5, the first I didn't expect you to brake, the second I missed the braking point

    major apology for lap 2, I just didn't take the right line and giving you no space. Shame you decided that after 2 laps of 2.4 hours wasn't worth continuing though.

    Ciao Thomas, when you choose the car you can customize the power

    The only reason why I was careful like other GT's is because if some of us don't move out the way, we would be taken out and against the wall. Some drives need to have more patience. Like a lot more to a slower class. It's a test race , not take out a person race. Lost count how many times I had to move out of the way or we would both be paintings against the wall.


    Grats on the win Matteo. Grats to all that joined the server for testing. Fun none the less.

    Server/10x worked good for me John.

    :):cool:

    No problems my end. Server behaved beautifully.
    There was one point in the race where I thought it was raining . . . but it was just sweat on the inside of my VR visor :D

    You need to use the esports option (with or without tyre warmers) not sure if there is a difference, if you don't select esports you will be down on power even if you select max power option, I dunno if its a bug, caught me out too. With WEC version I maxed out at 213 mph with esports it was 218mph with much better acceleration.

    This mod seems to have little in common with the performance levels of the real lmdh, they are way quicker in the corners but I don't care as they are more fun to drive than the LMU version which just feels like a souped up GT car.

    It's all in the rules and regulations Mark. "The race starts with a Formation lap & ROLLING START." "Formation lap until exit of the L'Arche Chicane".

    Got disconnected for second race in a row. When I try to rejoin I get an error and it won't let me back in. I can't remember exactly what it says but something like "missing content" or "content mismatch". That is the only problem I am having with new server. Same thing happened at Mexico Group C. Oh well. Time to figure out the reliability issue. Had fun while it lasted. This is going to be a special series.
