Endurance Series 2014 [Race] [Login] - FINISHED

[Marcinho]

lmp+gt is better in my opinion

[Marcinho]

I have request to Gzehoo:

Please, Change Nordschleife to GP Strecke. Le Mans is unplayable GT3 cars (cars is too wide and understeer, track is narrow and curving). Nordschleife will be worst than Le Mans.

News added on website.
==================================================
And about classes - I wanted to make a seasons alternately with LMP1+GT3 classes and LMP1 Factory+Open classes. GT3 cars will be also used in Grand Tour Trophy 2015 and I wanted to give them "rest" for a year from Endurance. It would look like this:

Season 2014 - LMP1 + GT3
Season 2015 - LMP1 Factory + LMP1 Open
Season 2016 - LMP1 + GT3
Season 2017 - LMP1 Factory + LMP1 Open
etc.

LMP1 Open = LMP2?

[Gzehoo]

@up, about physic - yes. LMP1 Open would be slower than LMP1 Factory but drivers not too much to allow "Open" drivers fight with "Factory".

Will be there a limitation for LMP1 Factory (max 6-12 drivers)?

[Gzehoo]

For LMP1 Factory class there will be a driver limit (max 12-14). Drivers currently admitted for LMP1 will get a license for starting in LMP1 Factory. The rest of drivers will start in LMP1 Open (unless they'll get a wildcard for Factory class).

Comment:
-Marcinho didn't finish 70% race winner distance (in this case 109) so he has a half of points. Due to problem with merging replays Marcinho is not included in full GT3 replay;
-also because of finishing less than 70% race winner distance (in this case 233 laps) Marcinho Motorsports has a half of points although team finished with both drivers;
-it's the last race on Circuit de la Sarthe;

==================================================
Login for Fuji 6h is ready

Distance: 15 minutes
Tyre wear: 10%
Fuel consumption: 10% / 8%

[RobertRacer]

-it's the last race on Circuit de la Sarthe;

What did that mean? Did we drive next year on Bugatti Circuit or not in LeMans general?

[Gzehoo]

Next year Le Mans 24h will be on Bugatti Circuit.

BTW. Competition pack updated to version 0.3.

[RobertRacer]

Like the 24h of LeMans with the motocycles?

[boblopette]

Next year Le Mans 24h will be on Bugatti Circuit.

in my opinion this is a real pity and you shouldn't do that, Endurance Series is at the moment my favourite championship and one of the reasons is the Sarthe track. I agree that this 2014 version is far less "driveable" than last year, but its challenging layout made finishing the race really satisfying (and my race was a disaster, by the way). Maybe when the 2015 series will be organized, we could give a try to both Sarthe (on 2014 configuration, as a compromise ) and Bugatti circuits and have a poll or something like that in order to collect some opinions, before the definitive calendar drawing.

Btw, I also like the idea of switching GT3s between GTT and Endurance series, with that "rotation" style

[Gzehoo]

At this moment, official calendar for Season 2015 is not sure because I heard that in original FIA WEC there will be Nurburgring 6h instead of Interlagos 6h, so for the next season there will be probably voting for tracks which should be used for some races - but only 6h because Le Mans (whichever version), Sebring and Nurburgring will stay as 12h and 24h races. About Pukehoke 12h it's not sure, we'll wait for 9th November 2014 and will know drivers' opinions.

IMPORTANT NEWS:

Because of problem with the main server on cba.pl (FTP server) and no access to website, I decided to move all races from Fuji 6h one week later.

[Googol]

I have request to Gzehoo:

Please, Change Nordschleife to GP Strecke. Le Mans is unplayable GT3 cars (cars is too wide and understeer, track is narrow and curving). Nordschleife will be worst than Le Mans.

I think Le Mans was ok. I crashed quite a lot but that was mostly because I hadn't practised enough. I like the version used in earlier Le Mans races more though (I don't know which version it was).

Nordschleife will be horrible though.

[Gzehoo]

Because of still technical problems with the main server on cba.pl where my domain gzehoo.pl is redirected (and no my access to FTP server) here is a link for 'updated' Endurance Series pack.

DOWNLOAD

[Gzehoo]

OK, website should be now active. You can make your Fuji 6h attempt now

[Daniel Rosenberger]

Do we have to drive this weekend or do we have time until next weekend?

[Gzehoo]

All next races (including Fuji 6h) are moved for the next week.

You have a time for 26th October to make Fuji 6h.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT PACK UPDATE!

[Gzehoo]

3 days left for Fuji 6h.

Don't forget to update your pack.

[Googol]

Remember to switch the settings too those who race with GT cars. I almost forgot. After I had logged in I somehow remembered that wait, it's a new pack so is the setup correct. And then I had to come back here to check what the setup was.

[Gzehoo]

@up, very important info for GT3 drivers

Today is deadline for Fuji 6h.
Login for Shanghai 6h is ready. Settings the same as for Fuji.

[Gzehoo]

Results from Fuji 6h uploaded on website.

Comments:

-Lee, Alonso and DanRos - please for update your pack; the main difference is in gr.ini file and because of that I can't add you with other drivers in one replay;

()
Lee became the first driver in all Endurance Series history who have won 3 races on random distances (6h, 12h and 24h)

To make the same thing:
-Alonso needs to win 12h race
-Kuba needs to win 24h race

[Lee]

I have luck 2 times to win in foto finish!
Congratulations Alonso we have close battles in all races which both drive

Im more than satisfied with resumen of half season
and with my achievment in Endurance series
