See Main Forum for Official Race Time Clock

This is a Endurance event :
Qualification start time: GMT 19.00 (30 min)
Race start time: GMT 19.30 (40 laps)

Note 1: tyre and fuel multiplier is set to 2x
Note 2:Jaguar MKII 4.2 with the liveries that come with the mod
Note 3: Unpack the mod into the main game folder
Note 4: Qually is 30 min unlimited laps
Note 5: Racing Room must be given to all drivers–and this works both ways.Divebombing into and across a corner denies people the chance to make the corner correctly just as much as someone obliviously (or deliberately) cutting the nose off of another driver who has achieved partial overlap fairly. And The kerbs are not deemed as track, therefore 2 wheels must be within the white lines, on the tarmac, At All Times..
Note 8: you can run about 18 laps on a full tank so you have to pit at least 2 times !

The ones that are turned back to GTL files work great, but the others are causing me a few issues

Hi Rupe

Andy

 

[Dmytro Botnarenko]

Endurance event is the thing which could turn my attention to the club race. Unfortunately, I had no opportunity to race last time at Watkins Glen, but I hope that maybe on 15th of August I will be behind my "'racing wheel".
Sign me up please.
P.S. a special thank you for choosing Jaguar, because I mostly like relatively slow cars.

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Yes, Thanks to Hans he has come up with this endurance event, I also love the slower cars especially the JAAAAAAG
Im working on some skins right now,
So please bare with me, I have now got the .GTL files working so fingers crossed this is possible and the size will be reduced for the download.
1.5 MB per car as opposed to 5MB .

 

[Norman Bruce]

sign me up for this please

Andrew Jarnell
have you got it fixed yet, or are you still having problems
where did you put the GameData folder.
Note 3: Unpack the mod into the main game folder

 

[Andrew Jarnell]

Hi Rupe
I unpacked the TC-65 Jaguar MKII 4.2 into the main GTL folder , it still crashed the game . then when I remove it gtl game ok .

Andy

 

[Rupe Wilson]

Hi Andy can you unpack the mod to your desktop, there you will see a GameData folder, copy and paste this to the main GTL folder were the GTL.exe is.

The way you are wording it makes it sound like you have tried to put the files in the correct folder yourself
by taking the files from inside the GameData folder..

let the game data folder do it for you..
you have had problems with this in the past and the game went wrong..
if your still having problems i suggest a reinstall of the sim ...As i am guessing what is wrong
you may have files in the wrong places from previous attempts to install cars

 

[Andrew Jarnell]

Hi Rupe
unpacked it to desk top still no joy . ( the problem with the old files waz on the old computer not this new computer installed all my new cars the way you have told me . )
np I will sit this one out . The cars for to-nights race work fine !!!

Andy

 

[Rupe Wilson]

We have plenty of time to sort this out before this race,
There is something going wrong somewhere, if your putting the files in the right place then there is something wrong with the sim install.
After the race tonight have a look at trying to sort it out.
This will only come back at some point and go wrong again.
do you have lots of mods in the GT-65 folder it may be clashing.(i have all of the cars we use in the club events.)
maybe take out all that is not needed...
just leave the default ones in there..FOUND HERE if this odesnt work then its a reinstall. We can spend way to long trying to get it to work.. 1 hour and you have a clean install and ready to go Found HERE something to think about its not that hard to do

 

[Andrew Jarnell]

Hi Rupe

Andy

 

[Andrew Jarnell]

Hi Rupe
