Notes:

Important: Please pay special attention to Racedepartment's Golden Rule: If you hit another driver and disadvantage him, we expect you stop and let the other driver regain his position on you. If this costs you many places (eg first few laps) then consider this a penalty for your driving infringement. Doing this shows respect to your fellow drivers and will encourage drivers to be more careful. Please use some care when letting the other driver regain position, do not immediately stop your car on the driving line where it can cause further accidents. Not following this rule will result in your membership of the racing club being terminated at once!

Hour(ish) long, pit stop included, Car of the Month shenanigans

 

[Ben Tusting]

Go on sign me up.

that Zandvort is a bit weird

 

[Stuart Thomson]

No, my friend, that right there is the real Zandvoort, this new one in GTRE is the charlatan/arriviste.

 

[Ben Tusting]

I'm finding it hard to catch a slide in the porsche, i just keep spinning it

Road Atlanta looks nice

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Yup, that's the Porch. See Warren's post higher up on this page.

Trick with the Porch is driving neatly, just below the limit where it slides. It's merely a different set of disciplines, sliding the Porch is the slow way round. Horses for Courses, old boy.

Ben I have found this to be true more at zander and found road atlanta to be easier to tame. Zander still giving me fits. Looking forward to this!

 

[Simon Bacon]

Just wanted to run this past you all, make sure it's ok. I'm due to finish at 1830 tomorrow and, all being well, be firmly set for 1930 practice. Anyhow, tonight, thanks to a late job and crappy traffic is S London, I just got in for 2000. If this occurs tomorrow would anyone object to me joining after 2000 ie in qually. I know how off putting it can be for a text box to crop up during a flyer so thought I'd see what you reckon. Hopefully, my crewmate will get the timings spot on and we'll leave in good time. I'll be reminding her all day

Thanks.
Simon

 

[Luc Frachon]

argh don't if i'll be bale to make it, GTL stopped working!! I'll try to fix it though

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Luc, you are on reserves anyway, don't sweat it if you are having technical issues.

You've notified us of the potential issue a day ahead of time, which is appreciated.

Get your GTL fixed and then join us when you can, we have a lot of events coming up.

 

[Hans Sneep]

Stuart,I maybe in time fore the second race Zandvoort ,do you run a practice and Quali, before the second race?

Hans

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Yes Hans, Prac & Quali before each race :good:

Get back home in time for some Tarzanbocht action

 

[Hans Sneep]

OK Stuart, I think the first race will finished at 21.00 + 1 fore me thats 22.00 that will work,so I will be there,IIIIIIIIIIII AAAAAAAAAAA ( quote Tarzan)

Hans

 

[Stuart Thomson]

Cool - glad you're not missing out :good:

 

[Luc Frachon]

I've identified why the game keeps crashing. It's the skin pack, not sure why but if I choose any other car it works fine, but as soon as I select one of the cars from the skin pack, it crashes to desktop!
Anyone else had the same problem?

Edit : just identified the problem... I had extracted the file in the wrong "Porsche" folder (906 ilo 914) ... :frusty:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

:doh:

Strong detective work Luc :good:

Hopefully we'll see you on the grid tonight

Luc I have had that problem when I did'nt get the skins placed correctly. When I could not view the cars in the dealer section when I click on View car. I know the skin was not placed correctly. I would remove the skin pack and then download and put it in GTL folder again. Not sure I should be helping anyone with tech advise but I have gone through this before.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

There can never be too little techy troubleshooting advice, mate :good:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

I'm reliably informed by the silicon-gods that the server is now up :good:

If anyone has the time to test it and make sure everything (tracks and skin pack) is both hunky and dory, I'd appreciate it. If not I'll check it when I get home @ about 4pm

 

[Sam J Simpson]

Stick me on the main list, up from reserve, Please Stuart, Just been on server and all seems well, I was running the Deutche Post (? spelling) car from the skin pack with no hassle.

Sam

ROFL@Ben, I wish it was just lack of testing, I've managed to complete 1 race meeting since early Dec 08 and that was 2 days ago, LOL, I even had to re-install GTR2 and P&G to do that just because I couldn't find anything else and I was feeling fit enough to try racing, any port in a storm, hehe

 

[Ben Tusting]

The only reason you were on reserve was because you handed tested them yet
