[Stuart Thomson]

Done :good:

The tracks are the ones in blue in post #20

Lakeside
Lime Rock
Birmingham Short
Castle Combe Chicaned

4 cracking sprint tracks, I'm sure you'll agree

Hopefully you'll survive without too many issues tonight, but thanks for letting us all know ahead of time - if it prevents a few accidents, it's definitely a wise precaution.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Just a reminder - you must use all cars tonight at some stage, but the order and the car you use twice is up to you.

Also make sure you download the Sprint Pack in the top post, even if you don't have a skin in there, as the rest of us who do have one in there will be using them :good:

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Can i join in Stuart?

Btw how's the Martini skin doing?:dance2:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Of course you can Bert :good:

Err....it's done and in the skin pack
Elite (nearest the Camera, obviously, That's Steve Palmer in the rear of shot)

Mini

Abarth

Make sure you download and install the Sprint Pack tonight, and you can use your cars :good:

 

[Bert Van Waes]

I know, haha, i just posted in the thread too, lol

I'm a bit slow as the report took away alot from the rest of my GTL community experience lately...

Tx again Stuart. For the effort but also for the result, it's stunning!!!

 

[Stuart Thomson]

No problem Bert.

I'm just struggling to choose what car goes with what track - all cars and tracks are monumental fun.

same here m8, so i went for the reliable eney meany miny mo option :fingers-crossed:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Niceness

It's so crazy, it just might work!

I think the only thing that's certain tonight is that I won't be using the Mini twice, as I've used that around all but one of these tracks I think, so I'll only use it on the one I've not tried it on, and lob the Abarth & the Elite at the others.

 

[Marty Pierce]

Hey Stuart can I use a car from the skin pack if no one is using it or do I need to use a default skin if I have nothing in the skin pack

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Are all the tracks default ingame ones?

 

[Amir Margalit]

Are all the tracks default ingame ones?

no . you have to download them from the download section un the forum

 

[Bert Van Waes]

i thought already. I'm used to seeing them lit up if it's needed to download.

We're spoiled eh

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Ah - that's my fault. Because we've run them all before and we're picking the best ones, I assumed everyone would have them.

Sorry :doh:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Marty - I'd prefer it to be defaults, but if you choose one from the pack, try and choose one from people who aren't attending - Steve, Glenn etc.

 

[Amir Margalit]

thx all for the races tonight. 1st race i had a good pace chasing warren for 2nd place and then another freeze and i lost 10 seconds.finshed 4th behind avi who is improving a lot.:good:
the race in limrock was good and i was doing the same pace as stuart. then another freeze and found myself with warren close within 2 sec.didn't want to destroy warren's race so i let him pass. then had a good fight with warren until he lost it and finally i finished 2nd with about 4 freezrs along the race.at that point i decided that enough is enough. until i will solve this stupid freeze problem there is no point for me to race a full race and then to lose everything on the last lap becuse of a freeze issue. therefor i unfortunantly won't be able to take part in the coming races until my pc will be fixed for good.
hope to see you all soon.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

That was a splendid night's racing - even if I only managed to complete 2 races

Full story tomorrow.

 

[Glenn Morris]

If I'm not attending an event where the mini/abarth/elite cars are being used, anyone is more than welcome to use the Bundaberg Rum mini/abarth/elite.
Would've been a great event. Even more so with the colourful skins too :smile:

 

[Marty Pierce]

Enjoyed the racing today. Wish I could do more GTL nights.
Was either pretty good tonight or very bad. The track and cars were brilliant and the racing was fun. I screwed up my last race turning in too early in the 1st chicane and then got in the way of Nigel and Hans when I got going again, sorry guys. Looking forward to the next event, Marty
