Just had a go at the 'Dusk'

trouble for me is there are no warnings for braking areas etc, ie black areas on the track, and being a baby I also use the warning that comes up with appropriate gear in the middle of the screen, but this does'nt work with this track either, is it just the dusk that does this for the warning system?

not sure i'm guna like this



pv you can follow me round I haven't turned a single lap of it yet


thx Mike ur soo kind

- funky - i'll have a look, but me n Ian are in a race there at the mo and he's not keen on it much either....

Laptimes at Le Mans are around 5mins.

It's set on the server at 20mins, if you go out you'll be able to do 3 or 4 timed laps, just treat it like a big Superpole. The track should be fairly clear.

As for the lights - get the brighter headlights patch.

Don't worry mate, the race fubar'd and finished after three laps - I came third!

That one's a non championship race, guess we'll have to revisit.

What is everyone doing then tonight? Try again another day?

Well done by the way!

I am not sure if custom tracks work quite right when we have league races on a server.

As mentioned since we had to reset-restart the race it lost it's custom race settings and only did a 3 lap race

It's related to the 24hr aspect of all 4 versions, Day/Night/Dawn/Dusk.

I didn't know that, it needs a fix to make it work for 60 mins on one version.

fix said:

Yes it does only 3 laps in a full race.. if you choose dawn (or any other lemans part) instead of the full 24hLemans...
I guess that due to changing the .GDB's to fit a 24hour race the number of laps are removed in these .gdb's..

edit with notepad the daytime track ie: dusk, dawn, night or day .gdb and add laps in this line: RaceLaps =
to how much you need ie; 23 for 1hour 30mins (90mins devided by 4 min's) in dusk or dawn
remember!! if you later do a full 24h-lemans to edit it back to RaceLaps =


I'll email Sammie and ask if he can set the race laps to 15 (60/4) and try again Thursday.

Ok????

If anything I think the Le Mans circuit is easier to drive in GTR then GT4 - certainly less over the edge moments except leaving the breaking way too late a few times.

Hmm I did that going into Indianapolis on the first lap, got distracted by an NGT on the inside of the track and only remembered to hit the brakes at the 100m board. Impact with the tyre wall completely broke my car and I had to retire

Is it me or is the start utterly f**ked on this course?
If you qualify in p6 or higher, you can't see the lights as they are back in line with row 4 on the grid!!

From second on the grid (later on when we did a few 1-make races) I could see the lights by looking left (V I think). The lights seemed to be directly next to pole...

Sammie will be hosting Le Man DAY for a proper 60min race Thursday night 9pm.

I won't be around though.
