indeed 20 laps would be to little to late, in the last race flier was slowly catching me but not enough laps for him to do anything.
Word, I'd be down for the ALMS race. The feista was making some ground

I managed 4:04s - 4:07s with the five different cars, un-tuned, for tonight's race. I imagine I'll pick up another 4-5 seconds just from gearing alone, stuck at 166mph in the Pentera :(.

That's ok, the Ferrari and Shelby only wanna go 180ish, depending on how much down force you have on.

The Pentera isn't stuck at 166 when you change the final-drive

My second lap was a high 4:05.xxx, rolling starts seemed to help 4-5 seconds.

They should all be S610-630. I think the Shelby and Ferrari are 625-630, because they have more power. They're limited in other departments though.

Ferrari should be a S611, the Pantera is a S629 though.

Also, can I PLEASE run the 787B in the ALMS series, lol.

The lack of vintage racecars on this game, and racing leMans, really pisses me off. We should have Jaguars, Porsches and stuffs like that rather than a semi-Modern Toyota and Panoz.

Oh, nice...I've been pretty engaged in "other stuff" lately. Unfortunately I'll be cleaning out the garage this weekend rather than playing video games. Where is the Boss S197 or even a base-model S197 Coyote? We need to build Grand-am or CTSCC cars soon.

Anyone else driving the Miura? I can't get mine to top 164 mph, even with the aero backed off quite a bit. Changing the FD does nothing...I can get more room in 5th, but then it doesn't have the power to get over 164 mph.

Running 4:30ish in the Lambo, but I know there's plenty of room to improve.

Might config my Vette real quick and see if that's better.

Are you sure you're running the "classic" Le mans? There shouldn't be any chicanes in the back straight.

It's the Mulsanne straight. I am on the right track.

The Vette will touch 176-177, and I'm down to 4:24.

these cars are indeed not well setup for Le mans track.
Some cars need more upgrades to stay with the comp.
