We weren't very fast with it, but it was a consistent one : mee.dommel.be/BMW_setup.svm

Thanks for your help, we 'll test this setting and after that we know what it was. I mean, maybe it was a bad setup, or we are so slowest for this race and of course for the next one...

After that check, i bring you the respond.

 Fantastic event again Patrick! Grats to all winners and everybody for the great racing. The 24h event was good, but this one was even better. Better mod, more involving track, better organisation, better servers and better driving.

Our race was great fun, we had our share of trouble in the end. We aimed for P3 in GT2, and even P2 was at grasp, but in the end we only got P5.
At first, we started at the back because I got the wrong day in mind for qualifying. I was ready for action on sunday, but quali took place on friday and saturday... D'oh! But the race was long enough, so we just needed to stay out of trouble.
That last starting spot gave the Simjunkies Porsche a headstart, but made our race a lot more interesting. I was making up a lot of places in the beginning, great fun. We ended up in 3rd place after a while, and after some mishaps of the second placed car we got upto second place.

In the final few hours it went wrong: when we where on primetime telly Dieter was in the end of his stint and under heavy pressure by a Lotus when he messed up in Raidillon and crashed heavy. Our first escape was a fact, and we fell back to P5.

I managed to climb up to P4 but when Tom took over from me for the final stint of the race he got discoed after a pitstop when he exited pitlane. Aaargh! Nothing wrong with his connection, because TS was still working fine, it was a rF disco. When he rejoined we fell back to P5 again. Too bad as those driverchanges all went flawless until the last one.

When we were closing in fast on P4 we just needed a few laps to fly by when the server crashed, ending up in a unsatisfying P5. Oh well...

The car was fantastic by day, what great fun to drive that Porsche. In the dark my laptimes got slower and I realised tracktemperatures where going down and my tires where cooling down. They fell to 50 - 60°. The Corvette's on the other hand seemed to enjoy the cooler temps and where flying. I had to really throw the car around to get some heat in it, and it worked, laptimes where tumbling again. Exciting stuff, but it's a pity I couldn't change my tire pressures in the pitmenu. Can't wait for rF2 for a lot more of those changing conditions... ;)

Bring on the next endurance please!

Here comes the feedback on behalf of the ART-team.

First of all congrats to all teams, as said previously it was nice to drive with you all. Every time we had to pass someone or were passed it went very well. Enough room and courtesy to make the pass possible!!

Congrats to the winners and podium finishers. It as a great fight in front between you 3 guys! Nice!!

Finally, congrats to Patrick for making this possible. It's even more fantastic that you handle this alone. Monitoring the server, being on race control chat, TV monitoring, etc, etc. I have no words for this, but just a question: are you human??

Now our race: It wasn't really what we expected to be on behalf of hte result. We tought we would be more consistent, and for sure much faster. Unexpectedly we where 3 to 4sec of the pace we had in qualy and testing. Why, is unanswerred. On the other hand we are very happy to have driven these 11:15h race without any major problem. We didn't disco and didn't destroy our car. I don't think many teams did it too. In the end we really could feel the car was end of life. We had loss of power and also the brakes were fading away like snow in front of sun... We had great fights all among the race so it was great fun. It was also a challenge for us because it was the first time we drove in team, but we did it well!!

We didn't have any technical problems while driving. Ricardo lost his internet connection once and my computer reset itself whithout any warning. Lucky for us it was when we were not driving. Apart from that no major problems except for the sound. I allready reported that problem in the beginning of testing. Offline you have good sound and when you go online the enigine gets silent and othe contestants get louder. Sometimes it's the opposite. Jan had the same problem this time and apparently someone other too. Is this a mod-bug or someting else, I don't know, but it's very disturbing.

I used the audio plugin, but i regularly went down. It was set up for timing every 90s but sometimes it was quite for more than 5 minutes. Apart from that it was helpfull.

Again, congrats to everyone, more specifically to Duncan/Patrick. We are waiting for the next one dude!!!

 Jep, I had the silent engine sound issue at the 24 hours, and right before the start of this event I figured this one out:
If you own car's engine volume is setup to be louder than the opponents volume, rF thinks that your driving teammate is an opponent car, so sounds are not as loud when you take over. Set all volumes at 100% to be safe, and adjust your volumes of rF and TS in windows to your liking.
