Anyone have a feel for boost in the LMPs? The actual numbers in the AudiR8_engine file don't seem to match the descriptions in the file:
EngineBoostRange=(0.01000, 1, 3)
EngineBoostSetting=1
BoostEffects=(250, 0.0825, 5) // RPM increase per setting, fuel increase (1%) per setting, engine wear rate [b](101.5%) per setting
BoostTorque=-0.00100 // 0.4% less torque per setting (applies to all RPMs)
BoostPower=0.00130 // % more horsepower per setting


The car is considerably faster at boost 3, including a healthy dose of increased top speed, so it's important for the race.

I may be able to race its 50/50 for Saturday, I would take the Other John player special R8 if possible.

Well, I have no idea which car to choose so I'll just make purolater happy and pick:

LMP1 MG-Lola EX264 ILMS Castrol GTX Racing #998

Did a few test laps on server today and noticed the GT-1 AI running in the low 3:31īs.

Is that a time I should aim for in the GT-1 Corvette in racetrim?

Really have no clue. Found no human reference times so far for this car/track combo.

I've noticed they are quick in a straight line. I assume they are using the sprint package for one thing. I'm certainly not enjoying laptimes anywhere near that although I've only just sorted my FFB to my liking.

The AI Corvettes are using 1/7 wing settings. I notched their revs down a bit but they do seem to be able to outrun a human with the same settings on the straight. It is probably due to the 2-hour engine. Perhaps all of the AI will blow up in the third hour, making it more like a real Le Mans. smile

I drove a few laps in the C6.R to develop the AI setup and I believe I recorded a 3:29 lap. Come to think of it, I bet I was using the 2-hour engine as well...
