NOTE: The chance for real cars in LFS exist. And lookalikes are generally wanted.

It says: for more check these. If you follow the first link, do you honestly think you are the first one to suggest a le mans car in 51 pages?
And then there's the other thread which has 3 pages, bound to be in there somewhere

Well those cars would probably fall in the prototype category. It's been suggested countless times, I'd love something like them too. But more important for 24h races would be changing lightning, night and improved damage and mechanical stuff.

Endurance racing is really marginal in LFS, and that's why the focus on development isn't really on it. We eventually might have all the things and bits that would make near as challenging as it should be and would make endurance races even more high profile events because the challenge would be much much tougher.
What exactly is a Le Mans 24h car?

Do you mean something like an LMP class car?
i think its probaly in that way Nuse, Even that or a closed car


something along the lines of that car, although its only half a car you can still get the idea, true it wouldnt be as important as failures etc but it would still be a good start.!
Yep, that's an LMP car.

It's been suggested many a times before (even by me), I love their shape, and have wanted to see an LMP since I started playing LFS.

An LMP and a closed car (whatever they're called), would be nice for 24 hour races in LFS.
sorry for my naivity, but what does LMP stand for? i presume, Le Man prototype or something like that?

Yep. BTW, this has been suggested many times in the 'Cars we wanna see in S3' thread, by me included.

If by 'closed car' you're referring to the Peugeot and the Bentley EXP Speed 8 (and the Speed 8) they LMP as well (in the rules system); but they are often called GTP cars in relation to the GTPs of the 80s and 90s which were all closed-cockpit prototypes.

I'd like two modern LMP cars (one closed, one open) as well as a late 80s/early 90s GTP akin to the Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo or the beautiful Porsche 962.

I'd personally prefer a slight variant on that - a closed top LMP1 type thing (possibly a diesel if that could be done) and a open topped LMP2, but done so they are one class - and a Sauber C9 or something
Quote from duke_toaster : - a closed top LMP1 type thing (possibly a diesel if that could be done) and a open topped LMP2, but done so they are one class -

So then an LMP1 instead of an LMP2? Or are you referring to the LMP2 Porsche RS Sypder's dominance this year?
LMPs are all going to be closed after 2010 i think. The rules say that...
Quote from Primoz :LMPs are all going to be closed after 2010 i think. The rules say that...

No rules have been written in stone yet. IIRC, only the P1 cars were to be closed, the P2s were going to be open still. The P1 cars are also rumored to be closer to the GT1 cars of the late 90s (a la Porsche 911 GT1, Nissan R390 GT1, Mercedes CLR, Toyota GT-One, etc) in an attempt to add some 'relativity' to the series and the race.

Of course, nothing is set in stone yet. The ACO may change their minds entirely before then.
No, nothing is actually final, but there is definitely that prospect. I think the proposal was actually for P2 cars to be closed as well, but how likely that is I'm not sure. Probably not very, although the P1 plans seem pretty certain.

Something that could have saved a lot of thread space...

Quote from Suggested Improvements Log :... Prototypes

The latter. A Le Mans car, in your view, means a Le Mans Prototype, often abbreviated to LMP. And that's on the list under 'hard to judge general opinion'.
