I just started learning Sebring today, this video was very helpful, even though I'm still way off pace at around 2m.01s. I know I can get under 2min with a bit more practice. Cheers!
Would you ever consider doing a more general vid about managing energy in the hypercars, maybe for different race lengths? I'm only familiar with GT3 and FWD stuff. e.g. deployment & regen modes, any rules for deployment during a stint etc. Not sure how complicated it is really, not had much time to mess with it. Thanks either way.
So what I know is that the electric energy does not provide any performance benefits throughout a lap, it is purely for improving efficiency. The virtual energy effectively becomes the fuel number for you to look at and if you keep driving once the virtual energy runs out, then you are penalized. In fact, in some hypercars, they can take more fuel than the virtual energy will even last, so for full stints, you'll need to work out how much actual fuel is needed so that you're not putting unnecessary weight in the car. The only strategic form of driving that you can really do to save fuel is to lift early and coast/brake lighter and earlier into turns to make your virtual energy last longer, just like you would in a regular car. I am not currently aware of any more advanced methods of driving efficiently with these cars but keep an eye out, and I'll probably talk about it in a video if I come across anything. I'd recommend searching up a video by Michi Hoyer about virtual energy, he explains it quite well.
I have the brake bias permanently set at one spot, I don't find it really necessary to change it per corner, but maybe it could be useful if theres one particular turn that you're locking the front wheels, then you could move it further back just for that turn.
Which settings would you like to know? Most settings in LMU I have left default. My FOV is 38, I think my graphics settings are as high as they can go and the car setup is mentioned on screen at the start of the video.

Crashing after pit entry guide is your signature LOL..
Haha my celebration of finishing the driving side of my lap guides
That is a quick lap. This seems very much an elbows out track when it comes to racing!

Always great guides, thanks
ha ha I just get 2.01.234 and was proud of me! I think I need some more practice! I didnt eat any curbs
Wow that BB is fairly moved towards the rear. Are you doing that incrementally through the race or form the get go? Thanks....

any chance we could see your settings? :)

this track is so difficult
What do you change your brake pressure to?
The max brake pedal force I had at default which I think is 100% for GTE cars
Slt avec les aides à 100% j'imagine ?! j'aimerai bien voir la configuration complète ?! (FR) Je joue sans aucune aide off totale (S)
nan a mon avis aucunes aides ici. Je vois pas l'interet d'avoir un pilotage aussi propre et de jouer avec les aides activees
I loose a second in sec 1 compared to the 156 guys.
Way too fast!
