    REVIEWING LE MANS HYPERCAR DRIVERS
    Disclaimer
    : a dangerous LMH driver, is a driver who repeatedly endangers other drivers.

    You don't have to outright protest an LMH driver(s), but if you think an LMH driver is overly aggressive in his driving/overtaking and a danger to other (GT3) drivers' safety, please report it to me and I will put this/these LMH driver(s) on a watchlist.
    Dangerous LMH driver(s) will be reviewed by an Admin panel and, get a warning to clean up his/their act. If non-compliant, he/they will be asked to move to the GT3 class. If there is no room in the GT3 class, he/they will be asked to leave the series.

    (Click on my name to the left, and select "Start a conversation")
    If you want to report an LMH driver for dangerous driving, please send me a private mail with:
    - Name LMH driver(s)
    - Event
    - Timestamp incidents .... (do not base your assessment on 1 incident. There has to be a pattern of dangerous driving)

    All mails will be treated confidentially and processed without naming the source.

    Is this true, THIS RACE WILL BE 2.4 HOURS LONG ?

    Sorry, forgot to adjust the length for Le Mans. It is indeed 144 minutes (2.4 hours) long.
    We already did a test-race for it before the series started, which was also 2.4 hours long.
    We are doing a 2.4 hour race with x 10 time acceleration to simulate 24 hours.

    The Le Mans event is 2.4 hours long (144 minutes) + 2 minutes formation lap = 146 minutes.

    We do a partial formation lap until the "L'Arche Chicane".
    The race starts when the LMH and the GT3 pole-sitter cross the final apex the L'Arche Chicane.

    The F1 COTA race will take place during this Le Mans event.

    If signups drop to 24 or below, then I will go back to 90 minutes for this event. Because of those 24 or less, we will have 4 or 5 no-shows and I don't want to put Rob through
    2.4 hours of broadcasting with only a few guys on the server.

    If it becomes an event of 90 minutes, I will still do the time acceleration, but then it becomes x 7.

    For this race I’ll switch to Hypercar, I had driven it in the test and it was a lot of fun.
    I hope there will be many of us so that the race lasts 144 min

    That is secured for now. There is replay of Cota but not for Lemans 2.4. No doubt prefer Lemans 2.4 :cool: I respect much more Rob than Verstapen or the rest of pocket filler with Dollars.

    To hell with COTA . . . . . this is Le Mans!! The most prestigious motor sport event on the planet!
    Hosted on the most prestigious sim motor sport site on the planet and broadcast by the one and only Rob Milliken!
    Would you rather watch a race you wern't in, or would you rather watch a race you were in?
    You know what to do . . . press 'Record' and fire up your rig.

    Just jumped on the server just now Gilles. Everything seems the same. Did you happen to race in another league? You might have to delete those cars. This happened to me in the past. Just one idea. coughsimracinggpcough.
