Le Mans Ultimate Round 4 Le Mans (24 hr time excel)

Is track/weather info the same as races before are?

 

im sure i heard on stream could be rain at le mans ???

 

Unfortunately I had to unregister for the event due to illness. Have a good one... enjoy

 

I've got an old mans bladder. He'll probably want it back one day, but till then I'm using it. Got caught out last race by going for a 'comfort break' after qually and had to start from the pit lane So I just want to confirm - LMU doesn't allow for a warm-up session between qually and race start?

 

no, but at least there is a countdown...

 

So . . Run like hell

 

15 mins to qually! where are you all!

 

Sorry everyone. Long week at work and just feeling a bit fed up with the world! lol.
I hadn’t found time for practice and I just couldn’t get my braking right, I kept overshooting the corners and damaging the car so just decided to stop.
Anyway, I have been trying to convert my livery from the Oreca 05 over to LMU (angry blue dragon ) so hopefully that will be done for the next one and I’ll manage to fit in some decent practice beforehand.

 

Yeah, low turnout in LMP2 again. Shame. GT3 looking good though.

 

@ Bob Mills - Thanks for the monsoon buddy

 

That looked fun out there.... enjoyed that race (from outside the cockpit)

 

First, congrats Taner and Lars.
One of the toughest races I have ever driven. It had definitely all sort of circumstances and I made my life way harder than need. Crash in quali, bad start (stuck behind Lorne for some laps) and still I went into the lead, by pitting at the right moment for rain tyres.
But this was the part of the race I feared the most. Practice in the rain was horrendous, probably similar to what happened to Nick (at least I guess). Therefore, I was very cautious at the beginning of my wet tyre stint and yeah, simply too slow. Lost up to ten second a lap and it took four to five laps to figure out what was wrong. Afterwards it was ok again but together with another costly mistake it was too late.

On a positive note, next time I am prepared - at least for light rain.

@Rob Milliken Toni was right, at some point during the broadcast we lost your voice and Neil was running the show. Good job, it took a while until I noticed it.

Oh and just in case, if someone needs the replay

 

It was like a 2 separate race. I expected the rain last 25 minutes, so adjusted my tacticks up to that. But aware of the rain could flush just after half run on the prerace screen.
I found out wet tires had no tire warmer during my practices, tires on warm is under 20sh C that means ıce skating. The race is run as I predicted except rain time.
I had a spining once in dry session that made my tires overheating then had to change my right tire during first pit lost precious seconds with also struggling on boilnig tires whiches never get colds a bit I dont know it is bug or realtime happinings.
My chance smiled me a light shower started. My car felt really strong after full wet on track then I got 1. and kept the gap with Phil with a easy drive not to push, becuase I don t need to push but Phil.
At the end, was good feeling to chesting the finish line very first before toug guys.
Congratulations to all.
