Cornys RB4 is pretty competitive for you league, but is almost the same problem as FXR in GTR. Faster driver prefer XRT because when you know how to go fast with it you are almost as fast but it is so much fun ! FXO is pretty competitive and quite easy to drive (/ban FWD) and RB4 is too but FXO is easier and because it is the quickest TBO without restriction, more decent setups are around so btw it is easier to race with FXO than RB4. Then stop saying XRT have a tyre advantage because it is not, as Niki already said, FXO has only troubles with front and it is almost because of your agressitivity with tyres (throttle, turning, setup,...) whereas XRT overheat all 4 tyres with make it worse because you have to find a good balance between front and rear with is in general worse for the performance than what you are doing in Q.
To come back in this topic, why only one class? Endurance races with TBO and STD are epic !
Plus last year a german team organised a 24hrs race with TBO and STD, it was pretty awesome !

Let's add a GTAL and MoE class in GT2WS and let's race a MoRC with 3 classes LRF, TBO and STD!
Well I have seen some french and belgium teams (at least 3) that were interested in GT2 racing but that were feeling that GT2WS was a too high level serie for them so they waited for GTAL.
I like pretty much Yann's idea of making an amateur trophy in GT2WS almost something like Blancpain Endurance Series are doing btw (with teams and not driver ofc). But it looks like GT2WS have some strong grid and half of the GT2WS field can be GTAL top teams. If you add to them some new teams (and there are still some), teams that want to use GTAL as a development league like probably Vires, Genuine and probably CoRe, and then some teams that have never been involved in GTAL but that may be interested (there is still plenty of german team in LFS)...
EDIT : I like Phil's idea but the problem is that I can't do GTAL but I want to do some TBO racing !

Awesome as usual Juan Pablo !
I got some pictures for you

RIP Dan Wheldon
Forza Italia !
hehe happy to see you there, let's hope you gonna be involve in major international leagues more often (GT2 WS, LFS Super GT, OWRL,...)
I agree with Laury, pretty good job in LFSes last two season !

btw electricity is more dangerous for the earth in some countries like India than Petrol...think about it
Indeed lot of country made electricity from Thermal power plants so.......hehe that's not as clean as nuclear (France forever the best).
Anyway, fyi neither PSA (Peugeot) neither Renault engineer believe in electricity as main power for cars. It would certainly stay a way to power for shopping trolley (basically your wife's car) but not for your car.
btw the sun is safe, so let's hope it will be safe hehe
250km range at 50kph constant...at Le Mans it should manage to do 3-4 laps and run out of power
Guy, what about all this nuclear test USA, France, URSS made with weapons?
Everything that happened in Japan was due to Japanese honor system that created this situation where Japanese has no more water pomp to cool down their shit. I can't believe no one could have provide them another water pomp if they wanted, France did, USA did, but Japan didn't... (I know it from safe sources)

btw I wouldn't feel confident with a car that gonna run out of power 
in fact future is certainly synthetic petrol that is created in spain. I have seen a documentary about it few month ago 
btw the other problem of battery is that if everyone have an electric batteryfull car, everyone gonna load it at 18:00-19:00 in order it to be ready for tomorrow...In a country like France which has one of the best electrical network, french electricity provider should increase its production by 200% ! (fyi, France is the leader in nuclear energy and 80% of electricity made in France is made from uranium, so ofc ecologist are against any new nuclear factory which made the aim of increasing the product impossible).
So btw stop dreaming and let engineer improve petrol car because every cars proffessional would say future of automotive industry isn't electricity, but...PETROL ^^

well at least in South City you will have no excuses...FXR will be the best car choice for it from far ! So let's show us how alien you are.

in theory yes, in reality it is almost true. Anyway in some powerfull electrical cars, there are some gearbox because car velocity depend on engine rpm and to go from 0 to 300 kph creat a big electric current (possibility to go higher from 600A !) that destroy the controller. Moreover you have to modulate the power because of to much torque for the tyres ^^ So finally you don't have a constant torque with electric cars, your controller made it depend on acceleration, rpm and speed.
hehe that would have been fun
Well Hydrogen is about 2 kWh/L and 1 kWh/kg although petrol is around 9 each...So I don't know where you had these figure, but this is wrong. btw volatile doesn't mean power

I'm talking about energy that can provide something. Electricity is way less powerfull than petrol. btw the only energy source that is more powefull than petrol is nuclear.
Btw there are simple fact to look for :
An electrical car need exactly the same power to do the same way (this is physics so btw every car need the same power, then the engine bring it). A small city car can do 500kms for 30 liter petrol. An electrical car with 300kgs battery can do 150-200 kms (in particular helpful condition ofc). So basically you can do 1/3 as much kilometer with petrol than with electricity. Then you have to take account than a petrol engine enable you to have only 30% of petrol power to the wheel whereas electricity is 80-90%. So finally you have that 9-10 power ratio.
Basically this is why car builder do not have lot of electrical cars in their range of product. Simply because it has a lack of power. I have been working in a compagny that was preparing some Honda K20 engine for some prototyp through Europe. We made a study to attempt to replace that Honda power engine (250 bhp @8200 rpm). Such a prototyp (CN class so 540kgs) can do 2hours stint with 80L fuel at Paul Ricard racetrack, with electrical engine, to have the same engine performance, we needed only 150 kW (200bhp but in fact 2 engines of 100bhp each) but we needed 500kgs battery to make 2 hours with that car ! So stop dreaming guys, at the moment, electrical car is a dream although it would be awesome for car dynamic (possibility to have an engine on each wheel, so something like dynamic full driven differential,...).
More : Diesel power sucks basically, if we enable turbo on petrol engine with the same air restrictor and same turbo pressure as diesel,...hum Pescarolo would have won Le Mans last 4 years ^^. Basically two stupid fact about diesel engine : less rpm, so less engine braking and a smaller range of torque utilisation (that's why diesel engine has turbo). Diesel is mainly used because Diesel has a better efficiency than petrol. In industry like transport, naval,... engine are made for efficiency, a naval engine efficiency can be 0.5 although the best car's one should be around 0.35 (0.32 for petrol).
EDIT : Anyway, why do people love auto-racing? Because of the sound of the engine, of the smell of the burnt tyres, the oil and this atmosphere created by mecanical sports. They love to see these men fighting with their machine, doing some things that human wouldn't think they were able to ! So adding some electrical cars in a sport car game would be non-sense.
btw Lotus system made with an electro-engine and a petrol engine as generator is called hybrid.

Yeah but would have funnier to pass you in last straight and finish with 0.01s gap
Let's imagine FXR was the fastest...everyone would drive buses? This is an AWD so basically not a real race car (AWD are prohibited in all FIA races exept rally ofc). So please stop saying LFS tyres are unrealistic, so you are slow because of that...basically you are driving an unrealistical car. Furthermore This is damn more easy to drive so someone driving an FXR pretty well can't claim to be a good driver with some RWD cars (majority of good FXR driver are like TDRT or GraVt). So stop crying and take a man car to show us that we were wrong with these restriction!
Moreover before posting something like that let's assume you are the top team of your Car...which is not the case! I'm pretty sure TDRT, GraVt or AMG would have done some 32...
Btw I have understand nothing on what you say about tyres...If you know that well how a racing car work, why don't you do some alien setup to have some alien pace in race, and become an engineer.

well I gonan say few maths :
- you need something like 10 "Liter" electricity to have the same energy as 1 Liter petrol...
- you need something like 10 "Liter" electricity to have the same energy as 1 Liter petrol...
about our race...hum it looks like last round and 24 hours alternate, pace was good, podium was a possibility but something happen ! My connection was quite scary tonight so finally Egon had to take the first double stint and then I have to finish. Because of my timed out in warm up lap, Egon started last but was up to 4th after the first stint. In second stint he manage to maintain a 10 s gap with the lead and give me the car in a good 3rd position.
1 lap after I took over, #13 didn't really respect blue flag and while he was taking a wierd outisde line in T1 (didn't look like he was letting me pass) and finally almost spun right in front of me :s I could avoid him and lost 10s because of that. That's the race ^^ let's catch N I K I now to have fun at the end of the race During half an hour we wer fighting but I manage to catch the 3-4s gap I had wit hhim after that incident and on last lap, an awesome fight started at T3. It was really intense, but definitely clean and we were side by side almost everywhere when we crossed T9...and I got a pop up ! On last lap ! Definitely, spdo is unlucky :'( but anyway it was really fun and it was a great race ! Thanks guys for it !

First of all I have really enjoyed that race ! Organisation as perfeckt, stream was from far the best I have ever seen in LFS, really appropriated for a 24 hours event. It looked like a real TV studio with commentators !
Regarding our race, Egon and Reno made a good start for us but unfortunately my connection decided to make it a bit more challenging. After that we drop back in 11th position 2 laps down LLL whereas we were fighting for the lead with them. I have to thanks my team mates for doing some awesome stints so we manage to come back in the podium battle at the 12 hours mark. I was pretty happy to give the car in second position after my last stint because I had really lot of fun on track ! Everyone was clean and everyone was letting some room when fighting/lapping them. The track was phenomenal too but I'm still wondering how fun that race could have been without that timed out, because I think spdo and LLL would have finished in the same lap.

Well it wasn't shift+P but a disconnection. I dunno exactly how many time we lost because of that disconnection but 2 laps looks quite huge for me. Indeed I was disconnected on my 84th lap, so I had completed 83 full laps. My team mate is currently in its 61th lap according to remote so 144th laps, leader is in his 145th. Tracker say leader is in lap 144 and spdo on lap 141.
