    Do you mean IRL or in-game? That's what IMSA rules say, there's a Maximum Stint Energy but that's not what we have in the main build unless I'm completely mistaken now.

    LMDh is what the cars are called in WEC. They’re called GTP in IMSA IIRC

    IRL and Ingame there is no per-lap limit.

    For the remaining points it'll get more detailed in the future.

    Le Mans Daytona hybrid - EDIT: or Le Mans Daytona h is what LMDh means. It's a set of specifications/reglementations that was designed by IMSA and ACO together. It's the umbrella term for the car class type basically.

    I'm pretty sure, when the little lightning disappears I have reduced HP, which to me looks like there's no hybrid power. The more power I use via ERS mode the sooner the lightning disappears.

    Edit: Yeah it's a bit confusing. LMDh and LMH are the set of common specifications and rules IMSA and ACO agreed on. The top class in WEC is called Hypercar, in IMSA it's called GTP.
    You can take your LMH platform and compete in the GTP class in IMSA, and you can take your LMDh and take part in WEC in Hypercar class, which is already happening. I think we'll see some LMH in IMSA too.

    They couldn’t agree on what h stands for so the official name is actually Le Mans Daytona h

    When was your last test drive? There was a per-lap restriction accidentally in place which should be removed since the hotfixes. EDIT: Apology, nope it will be released in next complementary patch, not up yet!

    There is also some configuration that makes the system deploy when suit and stop deploying when not required dependent on the mapping.

    My last race on the main build was yesterday and I didn't have hybrid power for the second half of the lap at Le Mans. There was no update either when I started Steam.

    I was mixing it up a bit to stretch availability, but mostly after Mulsanne corner I ran out of hybrid power.

    Build mode for example will not deploy all the time. So it also disappears when the ERS mode decides to not to deploy. Has nothing to do with per lap restriction (EDIT: necessarily, but in this case it actually does because the fix is actually pending) though.

    Ok, thank you very much - but which flashing light do you mean? That would help me a lot as I struggle with Laptimes at Le Mans.
    But I just figured out, that I don‘t have energy for the whole lap & there is no „Auto“ setting like in the modern F1 cars.

    What car are you using?

    AUTO mode is avaiable for LMDh cars ERS system.

    There is a flashing lightning symbol in ingame HUD blue ERS bar that blinks when ERS is deploying actively in the moment.

    At the bottom right you have that little bar that indicates the State of Charge (SOC) of your battery. In that bar on the left you see a little lightning icon that flashes when hybrid power is deployed. When that lightning disappears you have reduced HP which to me means there's no hybrid power for the rest of the lap.

    (At least in case of LMDh) it only tells you when ERS is currently not deploying when it's being invisible/not flashing. When you turn ERS mode to "off" it will also disappear, for example.

    Please just ask, no need to ask for asking.

    So I did a quick test on Le Mans with the Porsche Lmdh and for me it is the following:
    After the 2nd schicane the flashing symbol disappears; from there on I dont have electric energy for the rest of the lap.
    As soon as I go ofter the Start/Finishline the symbol appears again an the car is faster again.
    Is this working as intended?
    Ps: The cars is very good drivable with an xbox controller!
