AC Formula Thursday- Radicals at Le Mans on Thursday June 13th.

[Shed 17]

Welcome to the RD Racing Club.

When it’s the middle of June there is only one place to be in the motor racing world, yes, like thousands of fans we are we are off to France and Le Mans.

Normally we run shorter races with the Radical but because it is Le Mans week here on Overtake, we will be running a full 60 minute race with pit stops to fully test the endurance of the car and driver.

So get your gearing, aero and strategy sorted and prepare for some slipstreaming around this historic venue.

The car is the Radical SR3 XXR.

Straight out of the box and with the stock set up this is a great drivers car and it will get you around here with very little effort. However, for those who like to extract the maximum performance then there are multiple set up options available in game as well as some nice skins. (Don't forget to download the skin pack as well).

The track is the Tiago Lima version (make sure you have the latest version-see link in event details below).

Might be fun to slipstream whilst having foot to the floor. Anyway, we have the two chicane straight to kill the boredom!

@Shed 17 Sorry to be a pain Paul....
The event description says:

we will be running a full 60 minute race with pit stops to fully test the endurance of the car and driver.

But the event dtls says: 'Pit stop: not mandatory'
I guess it is a pitstop, but as Ferrari says, "We are checking"

Also, if there's not many sign-ups (seems low atm) will it still be 60mins or go back to 2x25mins?

I'm taken this as Paul is on a well deserved holiday.
Yes it will be 60 minutes which is still 23h less than the real deal.
Pitstop is mandatory. I've changed the text in the 1st post.

EDIT: see next post!

 

[HF2000]

Gents,

Format changed to 2x25min with reverse grid because the disappointing number of sign ups.

No mandatory pitstop anymore

@Shed 17 @HF2000 Paul and Han, thanks for organising/running tonight, a great combo

Congrats to the podium guys, and to Fulvio and Jason for the stonking lap times!!

Last race was weird, lots of stuttering - felt for Jason when he said it affected him in VR, my eyes were bleeding on a single screen

Hate these cars, completely out of my comfort zone, but had some good racing with you all. Tried my best, but my best was not good enough.

 

[HF2000]

Great race! Love these cars in which I'm as fast as Ernie. Going through the Porsche curves was very satisfying with the Radical! And finishing with Fulvio still in my sights is also very memorable!
