See what drinking all the pit beer will do to you? There are two places to get it Smok3y, in the post above under "Track" and in the "Downloads" thread for the series.

Cheers!

[helios16v]

Looking forward to this. ;D

[Kelly G]

Me too! I think this race is going to be intense!

[helios16v]

I just realized, this is only a week after the efnet 2.4HR. Crap, I've now got to learn 2 variations of the same track, and not get them confused.

All this, and I've never run Lemans before in the 1.5 years I've been playing rFactor.

[Kelly G]

What version do they have? Is it newer, better? If so, can we get access?

We have LOTS of time so I can check out both versions.

[helios16v]

We are running the VLM 91-96 Lemans.

You can not go wrong with a Virtua_LM track! I also would like to avoid learning a new track if that's OK with the other racers.

Ahh Smokey. But where would we be without our token Aussie? ;D

Oh, hey. Congrats on finishing today too! First step complete.

[smokey]

ya thanks man I had to force myself to shift before redline and not push it very unnatural way to drive/race

[Kelly G]

Agreed, VLM tracks are very well done. DL'ing it now.

I will load it and give it a whirl Monday evening.
