FOX - 1:01.13
FXR - 0:59.42
XRR - 0:59.31
FZR - 0:58.49

Since this race is going to be the last of the year, it is going to be slightly different. Me and pdanev discussed and decided we should have a 2hr Endurance Le mans style where we would decide who wins by number of laps.

Qualifying: 7 Minutes
Sprint: 10laps
Feature: Fixed 2 Hours Racing time

Setups and Replays on my site as usual

After 13 laps of practicing I'm down to 1:03.00. Great choice for a track. High speed corners in 6th and low speed corners in 2nd gear.

Oh yeah I'm taking the FZR. That car is so easy to control on this track.

The first left and right corner after the start line?
 
I still have no idea how I'm going to play with mouse for 2hrs :lol:... my hands get tired after 10laps
 
What do you mean "le-mans" style? We start from the line, we don't take long brakes, we don't change drivers... It's who crosses the line first is the one who has done most laps. Also lap numbers aren't fixed in le-mans, time is fixed. So let's not complicate things and do it like we always did :)

EDIT: Yeah, I also must leave at 10pm GMT. This means we must start at lest at 7pm GMT. Sprint, Q, restarts, that's why 3 hours. It might not be even enough though. I'm usually starting server at 6pm, but we don't start racing until 7:30 ~ 8pm. So be in time please :)

it is based on time MXM... the lap number is an approximate number ;)
 
hmm... I didn't write that... the last time me and pete discussed, it was time based. Gna confirm with him, sorry for the confusion people
 
^ I changed that when I added sprint race, and madeyour post announcement.

When we talked about it, we agreed that it's better to make it fixed lap instead of 2 hours iirc, to have more action on the track.
 
Looks like I will be taking the FXR. :mrgreen:

Hmm? I don't really understand how making it fixed laps is going to increase action.
Anyway, sounds like a nice and different race :) I will have to see if I could join you this time.

That chicane style corner?? I take that in 5th gear.
 
Well, how are you gonna make it fixed-time in LFS? It doesn't really make ANY difference is it fixed laps or time in our races. Because whoever is at front - wins. All the others finish at same lap as the winner, so everyone's race last exactly the same. Fixed laps are just easier to manage.
