Annnnnnnd..... a McLaren P1™ GTR in my garage now. Well it was yesterday night actually, 4 pm :-p. I was so exhausted that I didn't have strength enough to post anything here.

my feedback then:

7.2: the strategy which did work for me was: 1) keep my goal high: 8.1 Km to reach. But not under 8.0 km. If after a retry I see the 1st bot at 7.8km, I just restored the game to start high again. 2) Drive as fast I could from the start to reach a high average by the time I become 1st. It was around 242 or 245 km/h. 3) Make sure not to take over the last opponent, but follow it close to keep a high speed average. I think I had 23 seconds left in the last big straight line. 4) Try to stay close but not overtake in the last corners (almost a chicane) in order to keep speed high, and when the clock reaches around 1 second left, brake hard to stop the car completely before it hit 0.00s. Because the speed average was high, at 0.00 the races stops, the speed average is above 237 km/h, and the event is passed :-) \o/

I insisted a lot on that 7.2, I think I must have spent 2 hours on retrying in order to find the good compromise.

7.4: It's actually to come 5th at the end of the event, ie at the end of the 6th lap. But I did not do that. Since I wanted to have the P1 GTR as soon as possible, I wanted to finish 1st with the mechanic hired. So I slowed the LMP1 bots down a bit, then made a *dirty* race with a very good start to be 1st asap. I ended up with about 5.000 km ahead and stopped at the end of the last lap before the finish line to let the opponents to catch up. I usually cross the line when the 2nd racer (ie my 1st opponent) get close to me under 100 meters. Finishing 1st in 7.4 makes you earn 24.500 PR by the way.

7.3, 7.5 & 7.6 was then super easy. Finishing 1st in 7.4 did not have bad influence on the remaining events since the cars are now F40s, Mc Laren F1s, 911 GT2 or GT3, and Nissan GTRs I think.

I drove Le Mans with the P1 GTR, the same way I drive my LMP1s on that track, ie using the same indicators to brake when approaching the corners.


 * dirty race*: ride off track in the sand in the first chicane + ride just a bit in the sand in the last chicane, instead of driving on track. These are 2 profitable shortcuts. (of course with brake assist off, in order to fly over at maximum speed while in the sand).
