To all tentatives please let us know way up front if you can make it or not. We definitely want a full field

As previously explained, I have a few things that need to line up to allow me to join (but I really want to be there :drool: ).
So, to ensure that I don't risk taking another persons spot, it may be better to put me down as a reserve and I will try to advise as soon as I know if I can race.

We have send Maurice to Australia again Warren to help you out so you can make it on time

Bram, I just reinstalled GTL and got it running on vista. Are there any patches out that I will need to install?

Done. Installed the patch, track and skin pack. Do I need to go through and complete all the challenges in order to unlock the track for online play? I is blacked out in single player.

lol... sweetness. Thanks!

Did work online without unlocking cars and tracks though.

BTW - Holy under steer batman, these cars are going to need some getting used to.

Stuart Thomson · May 15, 2009

I've thrown up a testing server for this. When there's no Club or League event scheduled to run, I'll leave one of these up :good:

Anyone up for a run?

Stuart Thomson · May 15, 2009

Even if no-one's about for a run now, Glenn, your time will get recorded in the rankings, so you've got something to aim for - I only had time for 1 timed lap last night, did an 11.35 including 1 proper spin and 2 unintened excursions, so a clean one would probably be 10-15 sec quicker for me. That's still a way off the pace, but if I can do it, it's do-able.

Dont be so damn modest Stu!!! lol.

Stuart Thomson · May 15, 2009

Nothing modest there, geez.

Bram's done a 10.59, Knut's 11.04, Jari's 11.16.

Glenn Morris · May 15, 2009

No, no. I meant that "if I can do it, it's do-able"

lol.

Stefan Werner · May 15, 2009

Well, with a big spin and stop in the kitty litter, I managed a 11:20 just now using the default setup. I think Bram's time is right on the money.

It was not even a good lap, i think 10 seconds can come off

Ryan Callan · May 15, 2009

EDIT: Your skinpack is very nice Mr Thomson.

10:53.791 in online practice. Hope with the extra grip of the qualy to get under the 50s. But times don't count on the ring and especially not for this event.
It's all about having a good laugh and enjoying the scenery in one of Stu's fantastic skins when you drive through the forest

Knut Omdal Tveito · May 15, 2009

10:52:86 now. Each lap is like a car-vacation! Made two mistakes so maybe sub 50s is possible. Worked on one of Sams old setup and it felt much better now. Need some more adjustments though. Liking the Abarth more and more now
