Thats too late Gosu, he will be on the reserve list.

Abe has informed us he will not be participating today a moment ago. There should be a place now.

In this case yes. But I had to fill the empty gaps on Friday in order to give all the drivers a headsup. I would suggest next time an earlier sign up than 90 minutes before the driver Briefing starts

All good. He signed up yesterday so it's our mistake for not letting you know sooner so you can make adjustments.
No trouble.

Nevermind, my mistake. I guess I should re-visit school again^^

 

[Fatih Kursat]

I can't race tonight. I fell sick. I fell like throwing up. Sorry everyone. it is my favorite combination

 

[Michael]

I maybe late for the driver briefing as I have to bring my son to bed now. But I will definitely join Lobby 2 if there is one (fingers crossed )

Thanks @Darksi for the side event, was really funny...ok...8 people not much fights...but it was lemans….you drive agains the time...nice training for next time.
Maybe we get for Lemans and Nordschleife a 64 grid size ?
make a little bit trubble @ sms for this

 

[Tom]

Yep, sweaty face as expected! Great race guys. Too many silly mistakes took me out of contention, with even 1 less spin I could have finished P4 (watch the last lap!). Oh well, still a lot of fun and I learned some things ready for the big one in a few weeks Thanks again to Meaty Treat teammate @SillySausage for the setup!

Spoiler: Video Timestamps

22:10 - Qualifying Lap. Not perfect with no tow, I abandoned my quicker laps due to track limits.
51:18 - Race Start, up to 6th.
52:00 - Spin #1. Cold tyres & curb caught me out. Down to 12th.
53:06 - Double overtake. Up to 10th.
55:40 - Overtake for 9th.
1:00:50 - Overtake for 8th.
1:05:00 - Overtake for 6th.
1:10:05 - Overtake for 5th.
1:17:50 - Spin #2, down to 7th.
1:56:10 - Pit stop #1. Fuel only.
1:58:10 - Just about avoiding a spinning car, lucky to get no damage. Down to 8th, back to 7th soon after.
2:13:20 - Spin #3, down to 7th. Hit the curb too hard and lost it.
2:56:40 - Spin #4.
3:00:35 - Spin #5. A bit embarrassing this one...
3:02:35 - Pit stop #2. Short fuel to the end.
3:06:20 - Spin #6.
3:15:30 - Final lap. Car ahead is drastically fuel saving, there's a chance I could get P4...
3:19:30 - Final corners, not close enough. With 1 less spin I might have had him!

Beer time

Great race everyone, super stoked beetesjuices kept me honest, great racing!

 

[Col_McCoy]

@fab. ICEMAN you got any footage of our crash?

Everybody having same problem with the replay?
Both me and Nighttiger can't open/view it

 

[Mearcat]

I had a great race, completely car>car impact free (WAHHOOOO)......

Until the game screwed me over.
With 30-40 mins to go had a slippy moment and only tapped to wall, 14 FR suspension damage and 19 wing. Set to go into the pits and then it cancelled saying the pitbox is busy, and it never reset. So I could not pit to either repair or refuel.

So never got to finish.

Only have those views

 

[CatchAGlimpse]

Average race from myself finishing 8th in LMP2 - had 3 half spins that cost me 10seconds a piece and two minor taps while lapping GT3s that left me with damage both times - without those definitely could have come higher.

Looking forward to the proper Le Mans on the 1st.

Thanks to all the staff and other racers. Congrats to @Puffpirat for another fine drive and unlucky @fab. ICEMAN for his early race crash, I was right behind it so very unlucky!!

 

[Col_McCoy]

Thanks @fab. ICEMAN

So our cars are relatively somewhere else on the track on both ours videos.

I sticked to the white line, so didn't move my car relatively to the right side of the track... but we probably both should have kept more space there. For me it just felt you crossed left to pick up a slipstream whilst ur car was still very small part beside me. Ayway, guess racing incident.

Crappy when 3 people go wide in tetre rouge and try to pick up each others slipstream ;-)

 

[GoDATP]

Sorry for that weird dive I put on you, McCoy, I felt bad lol you had me by a mile. The P2 midfield was like 20 sec apart from each car but it felt so intense. Gosu and I were battling strategy the whole time but never looked at each other.

Sorry Philip for rear ending you, happened to be my only incident, I was pressing my push to talk to thank you and didn't turn in enough.

Amazing race for my first time out with you guys, started 12th and finished 6th. Thanks for the great race, good win Puff.

 

[Zemke]

Thanks for hosting the second lobby, @Darksi! It was a fun 30-minute race. Sorry to @Mark for the bump in the bum on the first lap. Glad you went on to win in dominating fashion! The best back-and-forth I had was probably with @Shepard. Sorry I spun in front of you, blocked the racing line, and caused front-end damage for you. It was very gracious of you to let me by afterwards.

Thanks guys! Fun stuff. Sure makes me wish I was able to attend the next couple weekends.

 

[Anto]

Great race, thanks everyone. Another steep learning curve though - must remember to hold line and not try and get out of the way of the faster cars but, kept consistent, lap times were OK (for me), clawed myself up 2 places to top 10 finish, scuppered myself with a 1 pit stop strategy and ran out of fuel on the last lap while the end of race timer was counting down = DNF.

Oh, replay also refuses to work as has been mentioned above..

 

[Puffpirat]

I feel a bit bad now doing the extra lap, seeing how many cars ran out of fuel on the other hand it would have been close with BeetesJuice if I would have waited.

I calculated a 42 lap race (including formation lap) and was surprised to get so close to only making 41. Guess the pitstops took more time than expected.
