Pernah main game versi ps atau pc yg berjudul LeMans 24 hours (atau 24 heures du Mans)? Di game itu kita ditantang utk balapan hingga 24 jam penuh, dengan mengendarai mobil-mobil balap kelas GT hingga prototype.

Game tersebut terilhami dari balapan sesungguhnya yaitu LeMans 24 hours. Yg menarik dari balapan ini adalah dari waktunya yang mencapai satu hari penuh atau 24 jam, dan kelas yang dipertandingkan yaitu sebanyak 3 kelas dimana ketiganya dicampur dalam satu balapan.

Kelas-kelas yang dipertandingkan yaitu kelas GT, Open Prototype, dan GTS. Dimana disetiap kelas membutuhkan mobil-mobil yang bisa lari lebih kenceng dari cheetah dan lebih kuat dari badak, karena harus ngebut selama 24 jam.

Hasil tahun lalu adalah :
Frank Biela Audi Sport Team Joest 03:33.483
2 Rinaldo Capello Audi Sport North America 03:33.886
3 M. Krumm Audi Sport Team Joest 03:34.603

Wah menarik juga neh sejarah Le Mans 24 Hours !

Thanks anjas !

To : anjas atau dodolaje

Kalo Ferrari baru masuk taon ini ke Le Mans ?

Juara 1 2 3 dari tahun2 sebelumnya konstruktor mana aja ya? Apa AUDI terus ?

Kenapa mobil2 Jepang ngga mau cobain lagi ? Apa karena mesinnya jebol smua berhubung 24 jam?

Thanks be4 ...

Sebetulnya LeMans ini merupakan balapan puncak dari mobil2 yg sering dipake balap utk seri GT. Jadi sebenernya mobil2 yg dipakai di LeMans24hours dipakai jg dibalap lain. Jadi gak cuma utk di LeMans24hours doank. Cuma paling sadis memang disinih. Ga heran selalu ditunggu.

Hanya saja yg nonton lebih gila dari nonton wayang kulit yah... Wong 24 jam....

DigitALL · Post by **DigitALL** » Thu May 13, 2004 17:35

Oh ... Berarti Le Mans 24 H ini lebih ke arah ketangguhan mesin ya. Baru faktor keduanya adalah speed ...

y_anjasrana · Post by **y_anjasrana** » Mon May 17, 2004 8:56

2-2nyah.. Speed dan daya tahan.. Masih sodaraan ama rally Dakkar. Cuma bedanya satu di sircuit, satu lagi di padang pasir...

Bung anjas jarang maen je sini lagi ya ...

Wah postingan jaman dulu masih ada ajah.

Iya nih Forum Sport kaga ada thread baru, jadi ya begitulah ... postingan jaman dulunya masih bertahan. Hehehe ...

Ngomong2 Soal LeMans, biasanya balepannya di sirkuit apa aja sih ? Trus penontonnya gmn tuh:?

DigitALL · Post by **DigitALL** » Mon Nov 29, 2004 16:37

Ada yang tau ngga ? Sptnya balapan LE MANS ini jarang dibahas ya di tanah air ?

Sebetulnya gaya modifikasi mobil LeMans ngga jauh beda sama gaya modifikasi dari mobil2 turing. Moderator tolong cari info donk tentang balap mobil turing

salah satu yg legendaris di balap LeMans:

Mazda RX-7, mesin rotary
kalo ga salah sih juara tahun 9? [90an awal]
setelah itu dilarang ikut karena spek mesin beda yaitu bukan mesin konvensional [tdk pake piston yg naik turun, tapi pake rotor yg berputar]

Tapi di game emang harus main seharian

wah kalo gitu bosen dong

y_anjasrana · Post by **y_anjasrana** » Wed Dec 15, 2004 5:32

Wah.. kalu maen gamenya tergantung kita juga. Kalu mau puas ya diset bener2 24 jam. Maennya sehari penuh. Tapi kalu males ya diset lebih cepet ajah. Tapi tampilannya bener2 24 jam, ada siang, ada malemnya gituw.

Soal grafis biasa aja, gak istimewa. Maklum dah lumayan lama keluarnya.

Tapi utk yang suka game racing, jelas tantangan menarik balapan sehari penuh...

Sedikit overview ttg Le Mans. Cuma sori blom sempet nerjemahinnya. Copy paste dulu gapapa kan?

The first race was held on May 26 and 27 1923 and has since been run annually in June, with exceptions occurring in 1956 (July) and 1968 (in September, due to nationwide political turmoils in spring; see May 1968), and was cancelled only in the years 1936 (economy) and from 1940 to 1948 (World War 2).

The race is run on a semi-permanent track which, in its current configuration, is 13.650 km (8.482 mi) long, utilizing mostly country roads that remain open to the public for the majority of the year. Over the years, several purpose-built sections have replaced the normal roads, especially the Porsche Curves section which bypasses the dangerous former Maison Blanche section between buildings. The permanent Bugatti Circuit surrounds the facilities at start/finish.

Usually, around 50 cars race simultaneously in a number of different categories and classes, from dedicated prototypes to street cars, the overall winner being the car that has covered the greatest distance in 24 hours of continuous racing. This rule appears obvious, but the 1966 race saw a surprise winner. Ford expected a level finish with two GT40 Mark II crossing the line at the same time in a staged finish, but the car that made the worse time during practice was pronounced the winner, as it had started further behind on the grid and thus covered a bigger distance in the same time. In addition, a car must cross the finish line after 24 hours to be classified, which leads to dramatic scenes where damaged cars leave the pits to crawl around the track one last time in order to finish or, sometimes, less dramatic scenes where damaged cars' drivers are confident enough in the ability of the engine to start again and simply stop on the border of the track close to the finish line, waiting for the last lap to restart their engine and cross the line.

In recent years, each car has a team of three drivers. Before 1970 only two drivers per car were allowed, and even solo driving was permitted in the early decades. Until the early 1980s most of the cars were raced with a two-driver team. In 1950, Louis Rosier won the race with his son Jean-Louis Rosier, who drove the car during only two turns. In 1952, Frenchman Pierre Levegh competed alone and looked like the winner but made a shifting mistake in the final hour which handed victory to a Mercedes-Benz 300SL.

Le Mans start

Traditionally, the race starts at 16:00 on the Saturday, although in 1968 the race started at 14:00 because of the lateness of the race on the calendar, and in 1984 the race started at 15:00 due to the conflicting French General Election. In 2006, the A.C.O. has scheduled a 17:00 start time on Saturday, June 17 in order to maximize television coverage alongside the enormously popular FIFA World Cup, which has scheduled games for 15:00 and 18:00.

The races used to begin with what became known as the "Le Mans start": cars are lined up on one side of the track, drivers on the other. When the French flag dropped at 16:00, the drivers ran across the track to their cars, entered and started them. This became a safety issue after the introduction of safety belt harnesses in 1967, which needed to be properly strapped, preferably by mechanics. At that time pilots entered the first curves with unfastened belts and locked their belts in the straight, if possible.

In 1969, for his first Le Mans 24 hours, a young Belgian talent and F1 GP winner, Jacky Ickx, made a pointed demonstration of the danger of this start method, when instead of running across the track to his machine, he slowly walked, then entered in his car and locked the safety belts properly. Sadly, in the first lap of the race, the privateer racer John Woolfe was killed. Despite starting in the last position with an outdated car, Ickx managed to win the race in a dramatic finish 24 hours later by only 120 meters. Interestingly, while driving a Porsche 911 to Paris after the race, Ickx was involved in a road accident where he escaped unharmed, having worn his seatbelt.

So the traditional Le Mans practice was partially discontinued the next year in 1970; for this year, the cars were still lined up in echelon formation along the pit straight, with engines off, but the drivers were strapped in prior to the start. On the starter's signal, the drivers could start their engines and start the race. In 1971, a full rolling start was introduced, as used in the Indianapolis 500, thus called the "Indianapolis Start".

The Le Mans start is also the reason why left-hand-drive Porsche street cars continue to have their ignition switches on the left of the steering column rather than on the more customary location of the right-side: this enabled the driver to start the engine with left hand while engaging the 1st gear with the right hand, depressing the clutch with left foot and stepping on the gas with right foot simultaneously thus allowing the Porsche to get off the starting line more quickly than other race cars.

The circuit

The Circuit de la Sarthe is a non-permanent track using local roads that remain open to the public most of the year. Since 1965, a smaller but permanent Bugatti Circuit was added which shares the pit lane facilities and the first corner with the famous Dunlop bridge with the longer version.

The track has undergone many modifications over the years. It was most famous for its long straight, a part of the RN138 (Route Nationale 138 — National road 138) known locally as Ligne Droite des HunaudiÃƒÂ¨res, or in English as the Mulsanne Straight. The circuit, in its present configuration, is 13.650 km (8.482 mi) long. Over the years, several purpose built sections replaced the normal roads, especially in 1972, when the Porsche Curves section bypassed the dangerous former Maison Blanche section between buildings.

Near the end of this straight past the Mulsanne Kink was an infamous hump, which gave flight to a Mercedes-Benz CLR in 1999 during warm-up. The same problem had occurred on the straightway between the Mulsanne and Indianapolis corners for another CLR during practice and the race. The hump was lowered during the winter before the 2001 race, again in the interest of safety. Although the hump remains, it is greatly diminished from what it was.

Two chicanes on the Mulsanne Straight were consequently put in place in time for the 1990 race to lower top speeds. A new chicane was introduced past the Dunlop Bridge for 2002.

As it stands, the Circuit de la Sarthe is perhaps the second longest racing track in existence, behind the NÃƒÂ¼rburgring Nordschleife. Considering the "Green Hell" is no longer used for sanctioned races, La Sarthe is home to the longest laptimes, even as a "high speed track." Teams competing frequently refer to Le Mans as a race where up to 85% of the time (including pitstops) is spent on full throttle, meaning immense stress on engine and drivetrain components. However, the times spent reaching maximum speed also mean tremendous wear on the brakes and suspension as cars must slow from over 200 mph to around 65 for the end of Mulsanne in a short distance. Downforce in the era of Group C cars helped braking to some degree but presently cars are tending towards low downforce to seek higher speeds in the face of power limiting regulations.

Car design

Unlike many other races where the speed in curves is more important than top speed, top speed was a critical parameter for being competitive in Le Mans. This led to special body designs like the "Long Tail" bodies pioneered by Charles Deutsch and Robert Choulet. Braking at the end of the Mulsanne Straight is also critical; the first use of disc brakes on a car was in a Jaguar D-Type racing in Le Mans. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR still used drum-brakes in 1955, but had an additional opening hood which was used as "air brake".

The cars were reaching impressive speed in the straight: in 1971, during night practice, a Porsche 917 LH was clocked at a top speed of 386 km/h, or about 240 mph.

During the 1970s, top speeds decreased after the introduction of new regulations that reduced the size and power of the engines, while the evolution of aerodynamics allowed the engineers to improve the speed on a lap by increasing downforce and thus increasing speed in curves and reducing top speed. This evolution, which brings less stress on the car, was also favored by drivers because it made the car easier to drive, leading to less violence in acceleration and braking while reduced speed in the straight required less attention and gave more relaxation to the driver, important benefits in a 24 hour race.

By the late 1980s, the fastest cars were again reaching impressive top speeds. In 1988, a WM P87 powered by a turbocharged PRV engine and driven by Roger Dorchy reached the speed of 405 km/h (251.7 mph) early in the race. This performance is generally considered as non-significant, though, because it was considered a media coup by a team seeking budget: the car was tuned for top speed with all air orifices taped, as a result the engine broke soon after. But the next year a Sauber Mercedes C9 reached a top speed around 400 km/h (248.5 mph) without any special tuning during the race, and the FISA felt that it had grown unsafe.

Two chicanes were consequently put in place in time for the 1990 race to lower top speeds.

Accidents

Le Mans is also known for the worst accident in the history of motor racing, the Le Mans 1955 disaster, in which over 80 people were killed. In the shock following this disaster, many major and minor races were cancelled in 1955, like the Grand Prix races in Germany and Switzerland.

At the end of the season, having won World Championships in Formula One and Sports Cars, Mercedes withdrew from motor racing generally, and did not return until 1987. That today's DaimlerChrysler Corporation, owner of the Mercedes marque, is still aware of and sensitive to this incident was evidenced by their withdrawal in 1988, after the Sauber-Mercedes suffered high speed crash due to tire failure, and in 1999 after their CLR sports prototypes caught air and backflipped three times at Le Mans.

Similar accidents involving a Porsche 911 GT1 and a BMW V12 LMR happened at Road Atlanta during the ACO-licenced Petit Le Mans races in 1998 and 2000, respectively.
