Tell me I'm not wrong

Go on say I'm wrong when I say that that the 30 minutes GT3 Sprint Cup at Le Mans should be on the schedule every week.
Been some of the most enjoyable racing I have done this week, Not to short that you can't fight back after a little mistake, Not too long that you sweat to within an inch of your life in this weather.
It's called Le Mans Ultimate, And Le Mans should be on the schedule every week, End off.
 
My 50 cents on the subject.
Le Mans and pure Sprint, there is something wrong. Don't forget the WEC part. Endurance.

A lot of actual sprint series uses the Bugatti short circuit which is more appropriate for short races. And think also of spectators point of view.

I would love to see the Bugatti track rather than having Le Mans every week, every day on Dailies and not mentionning it would be one class only, which is also surprising at Le Mans, imo.

Races under 45 minutes ~ 1 hour and at least one Pit are on another world from my Point of view on "Le Mans Ultimate". They are only there for rookies or "Fun" players.
 
I'd like a Le Mans race every week. Doesn't have to be a 1 hour long race, the game is based on endurance racing but not everyone has the time to do long races.
 
I do not own the all

But worst tracks are COTA, Sebring, Portimao and Imola. For lots of reasons, hard to pass, Sebring is just not a lot of fun but I get it, COTA is utterly dull and Portimao is and only ever should be a bike track, like Mugello

I like Sebring myself, Must say I have never seen the love in for COTA, The jury is out on Imola, But that may be because I'm rubbish on it, But Portimao is a go kart track at best, 22 car single class is the most that should run that track, Multi class is an SR killer, Run a multi class there and your losing a badge ratting guaranteed.
 
I agree with COTA (which is undoubtedly my nemesis) and Portimao and I'd personally add Bahrain (although I like Bahrain Outer). Not a huge fan of Ricard either. Imola I really like.
 
I find Le Mans to be a very difficult track, so many of the corners are very demanding for lots of reasons.

Tertre rouge is almost impossible to get right continually without exceeding track limits or losing time, Porsche Curves I find incredibly hard to be consistent in, I never seem to get the turn in point right. The issue with both is that that costs you perhaps a second a lap if you get it wrong. 2 if you get both wrong. This is why I also detest this each car has different steering rotation, as you find yourself getting used a lock for each series, then you change car and it is more or less, so pointless.

I am OK at the rest of it, managed to conquer the chicanes by braking harder and later and then coasting through, I found if I trail braked at all there it would spin, Mulsanne is very challenging, but again I found a fix there. and even the last chicane I found I would spin there a lot too, but found really attacking the kerbs actually works better than nannying them too much.

I am still nowhere near quick enough, I dont really know how people are doing 26 or 27 there that is beyond me, maybe setups and just more knowledge.

I have hit a limit and I rarely break it,

I did a personal best of 3:31, which is FAR from quick. Le Mans is a difficult track. Maybe because of its length and the amount of turns. But when I started I was happy with anything under 4 minutes, even a 3:52 was an accomplishment for me. The more I drove Le Mans the more I liked it, the more I liked it the more I've improved. Really would be great to have it in all weekly races.

I've turned a 3:30 which was probably in the only hypercar race I did there. TBH, I virtually never drive Hypers any more as I prefer the other classes. I don't change my steering rotation at all, whether from car to car or class to class.

I've been wondering why the Bugatti Layout isn't in LMU. Have S397 said anything :unsure:

I 'think' the Bugatti layout is considered by it's owners as an entirely separate circuit.(even though it's front half is Circuit de la Sarthe.) Thus separate licensing agreements or higher licensing fees. I would suspect the other tracks had no issues with MSG adding those extra layouts.
 
I suspect it could be added. The decision not to add it is probably based on the non-24 Hours part of the track being absolutely horrible. ;)
