Glenn Morris · Jul 5, 2009

I shall try again Mr Stu.
Number 804 if you don't mind, same as this morning..

Hopefully my G25 will arrive in time for this one!:nailbiting:

Stuart Thomson · Jul 5, 2009

These 2 tracks are much more complex than the Glen pair, but again, the short course is about 70% of the long course, so learning one is also learning the other.

I think these sprint/feature races are good fun when the layouts are like this.

We won't be able to do this every week, as there aren't enough tracks with multi layouts like this, but we'll do a few where we can.

Stuart Thomson · Jul 5, 2009

Gah! - Extensive testing found a couple of drop off dead zones - ones that a lighter nimbler car would probably be able to avoid- the Vettes aren't that car.

Please note venue changed to Riverside

Stuart Thomson · Jul 11, 2009

Amir Margalit · Jul 11, 2009

ok i tried it and no problem connecting to the server. so gtl is still alive after all:clap:

Stuart Thomson · Jul 11, 2009

:good:

as long as we treat this as more of a connectivity exercise that a full-on event, it should be OK, I mean, it'll still be good, but any racing is a bonus at the moment
