Le Mans Ultimate is proving to be a cracking sim - great physics, great graphics performance (quality vs processing power compared to rf2, say) - and ultimately (see what I did there? 
) it looks as if the current modern machinery will be joined by historic tracks (soon) and cars (bit further away).
There’s been regular chat at our SCB affiliate (https://discord.com/invite/dcfHb68fnQ) about LMU as there are a number of active drivers there - and even an official Beta tester…
So, a suggestion has been made that SR4L/SCB could host a fun LMU test event. Although LMU can’t (currently - not sure about the future) be hosted in the same way rf2 is (on home servers), community groups can rent a public server by the hour for (reportedly) less than the price of a coffee.
So how about it? The initial proposal is to take over a Tuesday evening slot in the near future -suspending the normal rf2 TueFun for a week.
Format TBD but :
-1)GT3 cars - the McLaren is free content and has been my workhorse of my first 30 or so online races. If you have the paid-for GT3 cars, LMU allows us to race together even if some drivers have only the base content. Track will be based on content.
0) Majority of practice offline to save server hire cost
I) Slightly earlier start (say 7PM Qualy?)
Ii) 2/3 short warmup races (15 mins say)?
Iii) One feature race (30 mins say - possibly with a fuel multiplier to force a pit stop?)
So how about it? I know the following drivers have LMU - what about the rest (please comment below - noting - for info only - whether you have any of the paid-for DLC packs)m
DJCruicky
Myles (Mr Fox)
Stu (SCB)
Paul Martin (SCB)
Bruce (long-time SR4L but lately SCB)
Jonathan (we've only got a few weeks before he - literally - sets sail again)
….?
