LeMans Endurance Race - between seasons
« on: September 25, 2017, 12:43:22 AM »
As an introduction race to the new season, I'd like to get another Endurance race happening between the seasons, due to the amount of straights perhaps 3 hrs instead of 2.5.

Track: LeMans (this one Wally??) http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/circuit-de-la-sarthe-24-hours-of-lemans.2482/   

Cars: LMP1 only or LMP1 and GT3 mixed.

So who's in?

Le Mans will be part of the S19 WEC season, so let's not make people sick of the track before the season even starts ;)


If you want to do an enduro, please choose another track (preferably none on the WEC calendar).


There will be a practice LMP1/GT3 race before the season starts, as usual, so don't jump the gun :)

Daytona Roval (Rolex 24hr) would be good.
But I don't think it's in AC. :'(

I've downloaded a mod track of Laguna Seca from race department and the few hotlaps I've done around it seem pretty schmick.

PC is off at the moment so can't check specifically which of the versions it is (there are 3 or 4 on race department)

GT40 vs 330P4 vs 908LH at Daytona.
I concur.

Between seasons on a Tuesday night as it's the usual racing night.  But personally I'm not fussed on which night..

What are your thoughts on this track Wally: http://assettocorsa.club/mods/tracks/circuit-gilles-villeneuve.html#en

And I'm sticking with this as an introductory to the new season.. so LMP cars.  I don't have the ferrari pack and some others who may want to join in on the enduro may not also.

Well I already want to have a bit of a practice race with the season 19 LMP1/GT3 cars, but not an enduro. I want to give people the chance to try some different cars and classes on a Tuesday race night, rather than a full blown enduro. More like 2 x 30 min races or maybe even 3 x 20 min races, as an opportunity for people to try different cars.

Okay, then why don't we utilise one or some of the cars from the latest update (not the DLC) Anyone tried the Audi TT RS (VLN)  though not sure what car you would pair it with?  Or a single make Mazda 787B.  AC really needs some proper race packs rather than random car releases.

the gilles villeneuve track seems quite nice after a few laps. not extremely difficult.

Haven't really had any experience with either.  I'm just trying to find a car we haven't really raced much if at all.   I'd be happy with the Cobra. But not against the porsche gt1, 962c either.
