Petit Le Mans

..dono if it was just me or my game, but , the pits lights only work like after 50m from the light marker and after I refueled in race with my speed limiter ON, got waved Stop-Go!! Then when asked to serve the penalty, gone into the pits and the console refused to select Stop-Go!! it stated N/A..?!
maybe somebody can shed some light in this one.. thx

I think you mean drive thru, I got 3 of them, I do not knew where the fuck line was, I lost 50 seconds with that shit.

Not a good race for me.

Well done George. Grats :).

Nice one, George. Some big names in your rearview-mirror :-)

The pit exit speed limiter can be switched off when you are alongside the small Track Marshalls Post(?) roof you can see on the left about 50-75m after the lights.
Pit entry limit begins at the white line across the entry lane, just as you come over the brow of the hill.

Enjoyed the dice with Mtommi, Theo & Rick during the first 20laps, but coming out of the esses on L20 the back end went loose(think I held it too tight according to the replay) which put me into the wall taking off the front bodywork(no surprises there!) and also the front left wheel.

Crawled back to the pits but couldn't turn into pit lane easily, sliding past the wall and needing to reverse and mess about to get into pit lane. Then slid through my pit box, resulting in the crew ignoring the fact I needed service. Cancelled the stop and took another long, slow 3-wheeled lap and this time got service when I stopped. Net result was 4 laps down and last position, so just got my head down and tried to keep it clean to the end.

Had one or two moments but recovered back to 1 lap behind Rick. I decided to run low boost to avoid another stop and was hoping Rick might need to stop again, but it wasn't to be.

From my viewpoint I had no problems with passing and everyone seemed to respect each others space.

just need to clarify..
.. with speed limiter set to ON (before the pit entry line and stabilized speed), the car got serviced (speed Limiter still ON), drive out, go past the exit pit line by the lights, carry on SpdLimiter engaged till the last isle bend exit of the pits (approx 50m after exit pit lights) ..then it was when got waved penalty for speeding in the pitLane ?? and Stop-Go or driveThru (can't remember now which one it was!!) but it did not either knowledgeable after gone thru start line (if it was a drive-Thru) in the pits nor allow to select for Stop-go penalty serve (if it was a Stop/Go)... .. anyway
It was quite hilarious for me at the start 'cause I had an urgency to execute just before the race start (take a leak) and when I got back the procession had started.. ehehhh
So did the drill as indicated by the RaceStew and joined the race rather late!! Took me about 2-3 laps to get to position and 45min to get into P4, then had my first pit stop and the "makarena" started then got DisQ. pitty, 'twas going nicely.. :-(
just for curiosity, how is that the game awarded my position to 4th if I had finished in 3rd ( I mean I had done 38Laps).. is it cause I got disQualified or what?

Very enjoyable race this, the first stint was awesome as me and Tristan swapped positions back and forth, but a different pit strategy took me out of the reckoning as Tristan was double stinting mediums, while I was single stinting. I tried to fuel save in the next two stints to bring me back into contention but it wasn't enough, so had to pit again. Pleased I managed to produce god lap times At the end with heavily worn softs. Well done Tristan, Zak and George for the wins!
Apologies to ken for the coming together as he rejoined, I should've stayed wider But the car was a bit oversteery. Also apologies to a lambo I scared at turn 2; I thought he was leaving a gap for me but the door closed and I headed for the grass in avoidance. There were a couple of weird moments too when a couple of cars simply disappeared from my screen, almost like extreme lag. The scariest one was on the back straight coming up behind a p2 and GT, the car in front disappeared, and when it reappeared I was almost in its cockpit! Luckily I think we got away with it. Anyone else have issues like this in the race/? Noticed it in qualie too.

Q: Didn't get much out from the super softs and qualified in the GT1 midfield but in a long race i thought that it doesn't matter so much...

R: Cautious 1st corners but then it was on , good racing with Nigel in the early parts of the 1st stint but then i tripped on my own foot and dropped back a bit. Took nearly 20 laps to get back on the tail of Nigel and finally managed to sneak through when he went a bit wide but then it was already pitstop time and different strategies got us separated.

That was good fun but unfortunately in the meanwhile the front runners had build a big lead and didn't even think about catching them again , but a good 2nd and 3rd stint with a bit different strategy bring me very close to the front again.

Pushed really hard the last 15-20 laps but George on the lead was really solid and bring the car home on 1st place , i'm pretty pleased with the 2nd place but realizing how close it was , those early mistakes proved to be costly at the end.

Congratulations to overall winner Tristan , P2 winner Zak and GT1 winner George... cheers to other podium finishers also and thanks all for the race , once again a fine race in a good company...well done.

Cya on track...
