Ca y est je viens de faire un temps potable selon Guillaume 9.32.3 avec la 512. Et encore j'ai perdu au moins 6 secondes avec de petites fautes evitables.
J'avais jamais essayé cette voiture avant. L'est pas si désagreable que cela à piloter. Mais il faut etre doux avec sinon elle te le fait payer cash.

Va falloir que je retravaille mon set Lola car j'ai pris 15 secondes d'un coup là. Elle doit etre reglée trop dure je pense.

Ludo did you do a 9.32.3 in a 512 or am i seeing things .....

No you don't seeing things. And I've done a 9.36 in Lola too.

Both laps were done with about 100L of fuel.

I was also surpised when trying the 512S, it's actually quite fast, more agile than the 917 and not too hard to keep on track

This is wonderful. I will be there.

good laps mate well done

My PB is 9:21:9xx so far, maybe the GT40 is not as bad as some might think :raclure:

I'm not sure if Kimmo has seen this post but please add us to the entries. We simply cannot pass up 6 hours at Nords. I will leave the car choice up to him.

Not so sure your statement is true Tiago. With the 512 I could run in 9.26 or less (i've lost 6 seconds on my PB of 9.32 doing quite few mistakes in last sector. And the car was also full tanks). Giving the difference of our level I can tell you the GT40 is really a poor car.
For proof, at the same track, with equal cars (911RSR 3.0), you was 20 seconds faster than me in ECGT. With differents cars I'm only 5 seconds behind with the Ferrari and 14 seconds behind with the Lola. That's tell you the GT40 is really a slow car compaired to the others as I should be at least 20 to 25 seconds behind if the GT40 was such a good car.
Even worse I've done a 9.38 with the Alfa (Full tanks and very little reworked setup) a far less powerfull car. Definitively the GT40 IS a slow car for the S5000

For an alien may be. For an average guy the 512S is still a challenge to run. I've to be very smooth on reaccelaration with it as the car is quick to spin then. I've the greatest difficulties to pass the power on the track
Otherwise that's true it's an amazing car I've just discovered

This Event is really fantastic ,
I'd like to participate but personally
1st) I'm afraid to break the car !
2nd) Would be good to find an Italian who trusts me (for communicating anything else, i'm not a good English man)
3rd) I make an appeal if someone wants, I am available to make same Tests.

Salut

Gianluca, Luigi Bonati is italian too and he's looking for a teammate

Sauf que je ne roule pas chez ODS et que je n'y connais donc personne...enfin si une personne mais il ne peut pas participer.
De plus mes problemes de connection merdiques que je pensais avoir résolus sont en fait toujours presents sur les serveurs HSO. Je pige pas pourquoi cela ne me le fait que sur ces serveurs là. Pas eu un seul souci durant les 24HL2R

Sauf qu'il n'a pas les memes gouts que moi en matiere de WSC. Il prefere les P3000 et moi les S5000 En prime il a horreur de rouler sous son vrai nom et ne s'alignera donc jamais sur un evenement HSO

Well I don't really think I'm going to be able to participate because it will be on a Sunday and I can't commit so soon with somebody and then if I'm not able to race that somebody wouldn't have a 2nd driver

Well sorry to contradict one once again Tiago . The Gt40 is really a bad car as I've just done a 9.18.8 with the 512S full tanks and seven big blunders getting me off track just before longs straigths. Without those errors I should have done a 9.10 easily. And I never remember me being so close to you in racetime

Ludo congragulations on that lap you must be putting some laps in with training
im lagging miles behind you now wish i could try your setup as i have driven 4 different cars
and there all within 1 second of each car LOL !!!!!

I Just cant seem to go any faster although with the 512 im quickest in the GP section
and under the bridge on the Nordscliefe but after that i loose out to my P3000 cars .....

hmm, so you're telling me you didn't improve your driving skill at all? I'm sure you're much quicker now

I'm sure I haven't. Never drive the 512S before and have done no race since 24hL2R. So it's really the GT40 which is slow.
If I were that fast I should be in 8.59..not 9.18
As for my sets Carl, I've only got two: one Lola and one Ferrari 512S. I've stop working on other cars. But I'm no sure to be
there whatever. My connections problems aren't solved.

Well I admit it now. Done some laps with the Lola and did 9:06 in my first run( It really feels like a truck)...
I'll test all the cars and then I'll post my times and reviews of the cars for you guys to compare; since I won't proabably participate in this event I'll just act as as test driver
If anyone wants a specific review just gimme a ring
