Grid autosport was fun too even if I'm like the only person who played it.

Project CARS' near identical career mode rather replaced it for me, but I liked it while I played it.

GRID was the best of Codemasters recent games, I love any racing game that encourages you to race like a dipshit and wreck people.

It really wasn't. DiRT Rally and F1 2016 are incredible, and DiRT 4 is really good.

I've made a huge mistake.
BTCC update - Aaron Taylor-Smith has a fractured leg and concussion but has been released from hospital. Luke Davenport is in an induced coma but stable with a lot of injuries. Jeff Smith also has a lot of injuries and is in a serious but stable condition.

I saw something on one of the reports that Davenport broke a sump over a curb or something, which would explain everything after that

Aight, lets hotlap LMP2's then. Do Time-trial mode, post your best time up, screenshot the lap time in the pause screen.

I reinstalled PC to try this out and was instantly reminded of how loving pretty it was and subsequently why I uninstalled it. The tire model makes you feel like you are driving on ice skates.

Still pretty fun though.

The ByKolles LOLmobile is only 5 seconds off the best hybrids in practice. Which means they're going to have to find some other way to be the comedy option during the race, that's basically the same speed the Rebellion car had last year.

I'm sure I could go a lot faster but this is literally the only "valid" lap I've gotten after hours of trying. This game can eat a bag of dicks for what it constitutes "track limits".

The time trial mode is really really strict about it. Even in quali sessions online the limits aren't that bad.

I was looking at the spotters guide and saw that the #27 LMP2 has an all-Russian driver lineup. I cant wait to see who's race they gently caress up.

It's been that way for a while, but would be funny for the 27 to take out one of the American Ford GTs because Aleshin brings IndyCar beef to Le Mans.

double postan

did a session on the 168h du Mans endless quali server on PC (same group runs the Touristenfahrten, VLN track day, and Vintage Green Hell servers, love that group of servers), and found some pretty good pace, though I think track conditions were a bit hotter than the ones they produce in qualifying, giving me better grip, and also the looser track limits enforcemnt, so might not call this one legit, but I'm pretty proud of this one so I'm gonna post it anyway. I pulled into the pits to adjust my setup here because my CrewChief app was yelling at me for getting close to demolishing my engine. Opened the radiator up to 20% instead of the 12% I had it at after that.

Better now than the 2nd to last lap of the race? It's running on battery power back to the pit looks like.

E: Holy poo poo that lap time by the #38 LMP2. It was quicker than the Bykolles LMP1 by like, 1.5 seconds.

Yeah, modern race cars are design to disintegrate in a crash, except the safety tub. I'm guessing that's probably damaged though based on what I'm hearing.

The car looked pretty jacked up from what we saw but the driver appeared to be fine. The guardrail looked pretty badly damaged though which means we'll probably be under a red for a good while. Gives me a chance to get some work done!

Who all here has Project Cars? Would there be interest in a friendly time trial around the 24h circuit before the race?

If so, what class would you want to do: GTE (as shoehorned in the GT3 class in Pcars), LMP2, LMP1, all 3?

I'm partial to P2's in that game, mostly because I suck at wrangling the P1's just yet.
