    You are right, it is not a race but a server stress test, as stated in post #1. That's why it is a test race.
    You are free to help with test results or not :)

    I'm looking forward to the race! If it's too long for you, you don't have to start!

    Its good to test how long one can hold the bladder together as this has so long straights, its easy to drink lots of beer.

    You don't have to do the whole 2.4 hours. That is for enthusiasts.
    Everyone is asked to stay in the race for at least 60 minutes for test results.

    That is the question.
    I think Toni would advise "Have another beer and keep on just keep on racing"

    For some of our members they will remember the 3-4 hour races we used to run at R2P e.g. Supercars at Bathurst with driver swaps.
    Ahh happy days :)

    Since this is a stress test, do we stick with the same car or can we change to something else after my death. I mean race. Doesn't matter to me. Just checking. :)

    How about reviving those happy days?
    I would love it if SRO ran an entire series of 2.4hr events.
    Possibly (but not necessarily) based on the WEC series (possibly, but not necessarily, with Le Mans Ultimate?) and like the WEC series, spread the Championship throughout the year.
    Who's up for that?

    Since this is a test race, you are not obliged to use the same car that you will drive in the official series.

    PASSWORD FOR THE TEST RACE

    The password for tonight's race has been set.
    You can find the event details in post #1 of this forum.

    After the test race:
    Please report in this thread if you experienced any trouble because of the x 10 time acceleration.

    Thanks to everybody putting in their time to help with this server-stress test for the official Le Mans event in round 3.

    An interesting idea Gilles and one we could possibly test. Still waiting for LMU Dedi server functionality to be available.

    Guys. I want to give a feedback about damage rate which is too strict and not in real as % 100. When you touch ( didnt say hit ) it causes too much aero damage for LMH cars. I suggest it should be % 50 for healthy and enjoyable races. % 50 gives damage when you hit, neither scratching nor touching.

    Hi guys,
    I'm registered to the championship with GT3, but for Lemans I would like to use Hypercars. Can someone tell me how it work the hypercars settings?

    If I put the maximum power 520 Kw does the engine last for the whole race?
    Which differnence are there between FIA WEC tyre warmers and Esports endurance series tyre warmers?

    More power ( hp/kw) means more speed basicly : )
