Picking up where we left off in June, ttv DrNoise and I are looking to be back in the LMP2 again this race. We'll probably be open to a 3rd, if anyone is interested. Here is the 2021 LMP2 setup that I think B2O has run the last two years straight. Seems to still work just fine today.

If you're interested in doing some AI practice, here is an updated IMSA 2023 carset. Just note that this carset also includes LMP3 cars, even though the iRacing Petit Le Mans doesn't include that class. I ran them 65-85%, at 4pm, and that puts me about 2 seconds off the LMP2's (1:12's for me, 1:10's for AI), which is probably accurate. I didn't want to slow the LMDh and GTD cars just to slow the LMP2's. I think chasing 1:11's is a good goal, for me. There are 50 cars in this car set, however it's a pretty busy track, and iRacing recommends you don't run with more than 40 cars. 30 might be optimal.
