thats it ,I'm cursed this is the second time that the powers gone out during an endurance race.
went to bed last night almost 7 hrs into the Lemans 24 hr ,got up this morning to see the clock radio flashing and showing 2.24am turns out some one had hit a power pole hopefully they are alright but there goes 7hrs down the drain.
The race started in fine weather until the 3hr mark when the rain set in and stayed that way to the 6hr45m mark when it started to ease managed to set my best lap on lap 32 when i was fortunate enough to get two good drafts on the first straight and reached 400k my best before and after that was 380k so that was good luck and i managed a 3min 10.954 sec almost 5 seconds better than any other lap,the game gives me heaps of respect for Sebastion Bourdais 3m19.711 free run time in the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP the same car i used .i think i will gather myself and leave it to the weekend before trying again. one last thing racing at night really shows off PD's lighting the only thing i found is it is better to use low rather than high beam

Oh man, I'm really sorry that you had those power cuts 
That's what I was always dreading when I was doing that endurance, especially near the final hours. It's a real shame that PD haven't given us an option to save during the 24H endurances. Heck even the official Le Mans 24H game had that save option.
Wow, pretty amazing lap you did there! How much power does the 908 HDi FAP has? That lap really urges me to buy one to try it out, but I must resist the temptation, since I'm almost halfway into buying the last 20M car.
Yeah, I found it kinda odd that the High beam really isn't that high at all. I didn't use low beams, did it improve visibility?
|
The difference between high and low beam is high beam tends to light up the track side above the fence line shining into the trees etc where as low beam lights up the verge giving you a better view of the immediate track edges so the difference is height rather than strength the Peugeot is specced very similar to to the Mazda i was very lucky where i came across the draft cars
|
But those max speeds you were hitting with the HDi are almost impossible to reach with the Mazda, without seriously screwing lower gear relations and giving you crappy acceleration, due to it's 5-gear setup.
Which is also the only complain I've got against the 787b. Amazing handling and acceleration. Pretty short 5th gear >_<.
How many laps advantage did you have at the 7 hours you were in?
|
i was talking in max HP terms i loaded it to 920 odd hp,i was 3 laps ahead of the second place Bentley 8 and 4 laps on the lower end of the field ,i really wish the XJR 9 LM Jaguar was Premium that always seems to go well in races i will buy the standard when it pops back up
