Gran Tuccini Racing muss sich leider verletzungsbedingt vom Rennen abmelden.

 

Hallo,

könnt Ihr mich bitte auf die #240 eintragen? Elias ist im Urlaub und kann die Einschreibung nicht ändern.

Dankeschön ✌

 

#134 wont be able to participate unfortunately.

 

Hello, this race has been very nice and fun with the weather change during the 8 hours, but I am very disappointed with the behavior of the LMP1, it makes me rethink whether to continue putting 3 cars in this competition unless measures are taken, we are tired of always having our races ruined.

Here I leave a small video of one of the accidents that practically sent us home, there is more of the other cars, but this one undoubtedly drove me crazy to see how shameful the behavior of people with an lmp1 is.

 

shameful

 

You shouldn't blame anyone

 

I was behind you the complete straight and give you flashes, that i will overtake you on the inside (the side with the curb). There was enough space and when i was a long side, you came over and there was the contact. That was 100% the GTEs-fault, Btw. i was on the inside, because of the LMP2 i overtake before.
i love it, don´t look into the mirors and give the fault to the evil LMP1. Jesus........

Edit: Yes, the normal line would be on the right side with the wall, but with the overtake of the LMP2 before and the wet spots, i don´t wanted to cross the sides and you leave enough space on the curb-side. Just to close the gap, when i was beside you.. If you use your mirrors, there would be no problem at all.

Edit 2: In the end, we have two persons with two opinions to the crash. If you want, that the stewards have a look, then give that to the stewards. It´s always the wrong way to post a 20 sec video from a angle you see nothing and put the finger on someone. Thats not the way to do it. I was also mad, because iam sure, that the GTE was on fault and see you any video from me? (and deleted the first sentence)

 

That you blame the GT for this seems to me...incredible, while you can pass perfectly on the inside, the GT has to follow the natural line of the line and you get out of it.

 

First I want to clarify one thing, the one who was driving that GTE from the accident in that video was me.

I saw the lights and how two LMPs were coming, and that each one was going to pass by one side. What should a GTE do in these circumstances? You need to do clear predictive driving and stay on the steady course. And that is what I did. I didn't hit anyone. And I think you could have followed the line you chose on the outside until you completed the overtaking.

I am a regular endurance driver, normally DPI, LMH or P1, and what I expect from a GT is that it doesn't move from its line when I'm going to catch up with it. From there it is my responsibility to decide how to overtake in the most appropriate way. It is one of the few occasions in which I run resistance with a GT, and I do it to better understand what a driver in this category suffers when he is hit by an LMP. That helps to make the most appropriate decision when I am the one who drives a faster vehicle.

I want to take advantage of the fact that I am writing for the first time in the P1 forum to congratulate Philip Bachmann (#115 RevolutionSimRacing) who I had behind me for more than an hour until the accident. Great control of the situation, and a very similar rhythm, it was a pleasure to race with you. And a note, you never made the threat of trying to overtake, but if you had, your team notified by TS, or you had simply given me the lights, I would have let you overtake.

And in general, a great race in very changing track situations that made us suffer, but this made us enjoy it more.

It is possible that we will coincide in more resistance races.

 

Honestly, I don't think this is the right place to come to post a video. If you have any claim, do it where it should be done.

On the other hand, in an 8 hour race a lot can happen, including human error. If this also happens in reality, it is logical that it happens here.

I was wearing a GTE that was bounced in another touch with another GTE. It was repaired for more than a minute, but these are things that happen and I don't come here to tell about my life.

That said, I have been finding exemplary behavior throughout the championship, just as I have found horrible maneuvers from the GTE, but this is part of the races. And if I have a problem, I put a claim where it belongs, not here.

See you next time.

 

My 2 cents, as an experienced GT driver who has nothing to do with this:

No way you couldn't already see these cars in your mirror exiting Luffield, so from your side there were 2 options:
1) Already move the car clearly to the left while you were still in that corner, so it would be clear to both prototypes to pass on the right.
2) If it was too late for that, leave 1,5 car widths on the left so there would be room on either side to pass.

From the LMP1's side it could have been prevented if the driver recognised you were running the car wide, but that would have required him going off the track, which is unreasonable to ask IMO. If there's anyone who should complain in this case, it's the LMP2, as he did absolutely nothing wrong and got caught up in this.

Yes, generally GT's should hold their line, but there are situations when classed need to work together. This was one of those situations.

 

I sincerely feel sorry everyone involved, if I imagine myself being one of the 3.
Try to keep it "fun" without blaming each other. In these situations a little wrong steering input or even some indecision can lead to this, even without doing anything crazy..
I drove lots of races both as GT and LMP driver so I totally agree with Bert, in some cases you gotta cooperate some way..

 

Good morning. When will the rankings be updated?

 

Not problem Markus, I was just curious. Enjoy the holidays.

 

So guys,

we are out of the rest of the series,,,, after the latest BOP, the BMW M8 is not driveble.... Shit happens, but we are out of the grid for the rest of the season. THX to Studio 397 and motorsport games (whats the hell) for killing our car completly! During the last years we have to acept all these things. But after the last BOP we are dead at all.

Guys, we wish you all the best for the rest of the season... have fun and enjoy, but with out us... have fun...
