Done. Just noticed that myself. You’d think Kinja would only show the first one at most, but I guess Kinja is just being Kinja.

I think if it is on simulation, the stops will take care of themselves given a long enough race.

Rainbow > Mattbob

That’s the idea. My only complaint with the Le Mans race we did was the lack of pit strategy, so I’m hoping to add that here. If everyone is against simulation damage, we can still just pit for no reason.

Simulation and max hours only because we will have to change tires by about hour 2.5 or 3 also gas will be a good factor

also crashing out Mack might actually do something to help the rest of the field.

Do you guys broadcast these like some of the iRacing guys do?

Rainbow > Cherry_man1

For sure. Hell, even if two hours beats out five, I might just have to suggest making it three hours, or 3.5. Sure, that makes our Le Mans more petit than our Petit Le Mans, but if I recall correctly that was the first ever real Oppo endurance race. (I never participated, but wasn’t it previously just “24 Laps of Le Mans”) Since it worked out great, I’m sure we can make it even longer this time. Mostly depends on how many people we’d lose by doing so.

RoboRed did for the 2.4 Hours of Le Mans, and since Xbox One has built-in Twitch abilities, I’m sure we’ll get several different broadcasts simultaneously. Not sure if there will be any of the Forza 4 race, though.

Ya we need to do another enduro race to test the connections and make sure everything is good but this will be a do able thing I think.

God I’d love to play one with you guys.

You play with controllers? How long are the races?

Sadly I am moving to northern Vermont where they have 3Mb/s... And I’m leaving my 16 Mb/s :-0

Why would anyone wanna live in Vermont!? Net that slow!? GTFO!

Forget Forza :) iRacing will have a full 10 hour Petit Le mans complete with driver swaps.

Rainbow > Hermann

Some have wheels, some have controllers. All assists are allowed. It’s a really friendly competition.

Races usually run about 40 minutes and are held every Saturday.

There might be. While I am getting Forza 6 and an Xbone with it, I won’t have a wheel until October (thank you Fanatec and your backorders), and I drive like shit without a wheel, pretty much leaving Fourza on 360 as my only option, with me broadcasting it.

Then again, I could always try...

Awesome!

What are the steps required to be part of this?

Rainbow > Hermann

See one of SVTyler’s posts under the Fourza tag for our current Grand-Am series. RoboRed is hosting the classic roadsters series under the same tag, and I think there might be a couple more.

My girlfriend inherited a house and bills are going to be $500/month, 5 ski resorts within 30 minutes, 20 minutes from Mt. Washington, 5 miles from O’Neill Rally School, and all the mountain bike and hiking trails you could ever wish for.

But yeah, about that internet...

Then again with Le Mans inked I’m more interested in the 24 hours of Le Mans and the 24 hours of the Nurburgring anyhow. That’ll be so epic.

Cherry_man1 > Autofixation
07/23/2015 at 14:37

But the internet....also no drag strips or road courses?

Hopefully with a selection of LMPs as well.

So what was the final vote for the race length?

Rainbow > Camshaft Chris: Skyline/McLaren/Porsche Fanboy

Looks like two hours, although I might raise it to 3 if there’s enough interest.

SVTyler > Rainbow

So who’s organizing what race? Because the Grand-Am cars are racing at Road Atlanta on the same day as the Petit Le Mans, we could just forgo the Grand-Am race and change it to GT/LMP.

They have a proper P2 car, but yes they need a modern P1. However, when you consider all the proprietary info that goes into those P1 cars I can see most of the companies being exceptionally reluctant to ink a deal like that.

If you want to take over and do this, go for it. I won’t be able to participate on the day of the race, due to being at the race, but if you want to also bump it to the Sunday after, feel free to take over.

SVTyler > Rainbow

Might be best to do the races over two days, that way there’s a bit of flexibility for people with busy schedules and the lobbies might be bigger (people could race both days if they want to instead of having to decide between them). Not trying to commandeer your idea or anything obviously, just offering help if you want any.

That’s actually not a bad idea. Thanks!
