The game does look so very realistic, more now than yesterday - in the morning light / haze.
Still 1/4 time to go! ETA : They need some team members in the pitlane though, it looks so odd. |

The sim rig problems are fairly analogous to the random issues that can impact an entry at Le Mans for real.

Too many tech issues it seems. Quite a catalogue of teams effected.

Well back on board after a few hours kip following the sunrise as usual, broke tradition of no full monty just ham eggs and toast. The race does not seem to have changed much since i left it soon after 5 still dominated by le mans privateers. The system needs to make the cars look more realistic as all cars seem to be as clean as when they started and complete lack of damage/gaffer tape.

Oh red flag, that is going to help Bykolles as they were due to stop and when it restarts they will be much closer i think.

Another red flag because of server issues. The organization messed it picking rFactor 2 as the platform.

The reason they picked that platform is it is the only one supporting all the features they needed apparently.

As time goes on, realistic visual damage will clearly need to be worked on as it's undoubtedly the weakest visual aspect of the game. As to issues, I don't think there have been any more technical issues in this race than in the real one, to be honest. Different issues of course...

Although platform issues which affect all cars aren't good for the event. But Rig or Internet issues are, as I mentioned, analogous to the gremlins that can affect teams in the real world. I think the game needs to be made more spectator centric if they want to expand this... |

The restart looked amazing.
I also salute guys like Verstappen, Leclerc, Norris and Gasly. They like Alonso, Button and Barrichello have proved they are more than rich brats who happens to be in the best financed car. F1 racers who come to Le Mans rise more than a few steps on my ranking. Where is Lewis? |

That has to be one of the highlights for me so far, the grin on Kamui's face as the sim driver overcooked it into Indianapolis....

Last weekend was the Forza Motorsport 7 24h of Le Mans. It set a new record for entries in an online race on Forza, with over a thousand cars. It didn't crash. Next weekend is the iRacing 24h of Le Mans. It will have over 1200 entries, in more than 20 groups. And it won't crash. |
