    Welcome to the second LMU series at SimRacingOnline
    The GT3 Master Class Series!
    This series will challenge the drivers on six iconic tracks.
    Seventy-five-minute races will force drivers to create their own strategies.
    Drivers will need to navigate day-to-night transitions, with two of the events featuring time-excell,
    Round four at Spa will start just before sunset and finish at night.
    Round six at Le Mans will start at night and finish in the morning.
    LMU currently features seven GT3 cars to choose from, five of them being DLC
    The two free cars are the McLaren 720s GT3 Evo and the Ford Mustang GT3, two excellent cars!
    The rest of the current class fills out with the Ferrari 296 GT3, BMW M4 GT3, Corvette Z06 GT3.R,

    If you have the free McLaren and Ford Mustang, do you need to buy all the other cars, or can you enter with a free car?

    You only need the free cars to race, no need for DLC unless it's a DLC Track ;)

    Due to the low turnout :( & small grid sizes, the series has been reduced to 45-minute Races!

    Do these now have that battery, fuel, virtual energy thingy?

    Wish I was joining Mark at Spa, but I'll have to miss the first round for more mundane reasons :(
    I believe they do Toni.

    Why do you get a penalty if you run out of virtual energy but still have fuel in the tank?

    Welcome to reality racing! WEC rules.. It's part of the bop as some cars with better mileage could carry less fuel or avoid a stop therefore you get a penilty. This system balances out all the cars ...

    Drivers, don't get all caught up in the Virtual energy thing. Its simply a fuel ratio setting that's pre set but also adjustable, the default settings will get you through a 45-minute session ;) ..

    The low turnout could be partly due to the first two races requires buying two DLC's to have the tracks. As the cars do not interest me, that makes expensive tracks.

    I was thinking could advertise on some sim racing Facebook pages or something would be good to get a few more people as I'm so slow I end up by myself haha

    It says "This event uses content you do not own".
    But I do have the McLaren GT3 installed. I can not enter.

    Hmm.. you miight need ot rethink to run non-DLC tracks.... or accept that you will run DLC and people who are into it will have bought the DLC.

    It is what it is .. It's still early access and these are the first runs with LMU here at SRO, I'm sure the player base will grow in time once ppl actually see how this sim drives & feels .. & all the bugs get squashed :eek::rolleyes: .. (i have not had any issues myself)
    The RC grids are holding their own daily in prime time while the numbers continue to grow.. My last RC race had like 14 splits with 17+ drivers per split!

    I got the race control Pro and it Includes all rf2 and lmu content worth having I think, iv been doing the FRL btcc on simgrid which is good, if you put sro on there I'm sure you'd get more drivers
