And now for something completely different...

Well not that different... watched Ford VS Ferrari the other night, so decided to see if I have access to the classic cars and track.

 
It turns out that Project Cars 2 has "the Spirit of Le Mans" DLC and it is on sale at the moment... Job done, well almost. It's setup for the 1971 version of the track and the Ferrari / Porsche are the main contenders. There is a GT40 MK IV so it's close enough to the correct era to give it a try.
My first attempt was the GT40 at modern Le Mans, with thunderstorms, x 25 time and 1 hour race...  disaster is an understatement... aquaplaning into the wall left and right...  So anyway... going to do some practice, not decided on GT40 or one of the other cars yet. Plan is to do a 2.4 hour x 10 race against the AI maybe Friday night ( so about a week before the real one should have happened June 19/20) 

This weekend will be the 50th Anniversary of the 1970 LeMans race, so a fitting homage to the classic endurance racing of the 1960/70s era  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_24_Hours_of_Le_Mans)
