My Setups:

 

[Stuart Thomson]

As per Hans post, there are extra cars in the GTL4u download for the 935 at least.

I'd really suggest deleting and reinstalling from non-Bude sites.

 

[Jack Smith]

I just deleted the two cars and their sound files that came with them. Question? Do I need to delete all the Talent files that were installed with the incorect 935? Thanks for your help.

Also.. I tried to make a donation which I should I assume, but I repeatedly get sent to a non- english pay site?? Any suggestions?

 

[Carlos Diaz]

I'm gonna update the links on the event post and send out a PM to whoever has joined the event to look into the thread to see what is going on so that they know why they are being asked to install from somewhere else.

Jack, from what I remember you get directed to the German/Dutch Paypal site. As long as you've set up a Paypal account already, just use the same username/password.

 

[Carlos Diaz]

Also, the BMW mod installs two different cars. One with Turbo and one without.

The cars we will be using are numbers 1,21, and 41.

The other BMW is slower and won't be able to keep up with the 935.

 

[Stuart Thomson]

It's Dutch (Ramon looks after it), but as Tim says if you've got a Canadian account, that will work fine. My UK one does :good:

Sorry to hijack the thread, mate, but manual car file edits is going to end in tears.

So I thought everyone installing from the same place would be better and safer come Tuesday

 

[Carlos Diaz]

I agree with you bud, downloading from one site makes sure that we are all using the same cars and prevents possible mismatches later.
That's why you are the Jedi Master and I'm the Padawan. <---(linked to definition in case some of you aren't Star Wars fans lol)

 

[Jack Smith]

I didn't have a PayPal so I opened one and everything is fine. Thanks.

Because of a conversation, I just happen to have been privy to, on TS, I really am LMAO.

 

[Tom Wilson]

Got the cars working, as in I can choose them...

Making them work on track will be while different kettle of fish. Just took the 935 for a blast round Sarthe, slight wiggle going over the jump at the end of the mulsanne straight and suddenly had a an absolutely hideous accident........

Tuesday will certainly be interesting, and in my opinion could have one of the most hilarious race starts in GTL history.

 

[Amir Margalit]

sorry but i will not be able to take part in the race.

From the race details...

"Note3: The car you will be driving in Race 1 will be listed next to your name in the sign-ups. Please make sure you know what car you are driving in Race 1."

Being new here, I'm presuming this means we all have a free choice of car for Race 2.

I've raced these cars in another league series and they are a blast. However both have strengths/weaknesses; the Porsche is quicker but eats tyres, while the Beemer has more of a pancheant for fuel and is VERY sensitive to over-revving. Nice track choice BTW

No mate, it means you drive the other one in Race2.

So, if you are Beemer in Race 1, you are Porker in Race 2, and vicey versey :good:

 

[Tudor Morris]

OK Stuart, thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

[Senad Subasic]

Sign me up please. Won't have any practice though, should be fun.

I didn't think people ran leagues with these cars Must be very difficult to have close racing with these cars on most circuits.

I managed to blow up the straight 6 in my very short practice session so I'll keep an eye on the engine now

 

[Hans Sneep]

I blow an engine to an lower the revs 0ne click,no problem after that,must say it is a blast on old Monza no chicanes

Yes it was a difficult series. It replicated (as far as we could) the 1976 World Sportscar Championship of which these cars were part of. We had a free choice of cars for each race which also included the Gr5 CSL and the standard GTC76 cars which were obviously outclassed by these monsters - as they were in the day. I must admit I was a bit of a girl and chose the RSR for most rounds, but it was good fun.

 

[Carlos Diaz]

Senad, Amir can't join us so I put you in his slot, which means you will be driving the Beemer 1st.
I just wanna make sure you aren't looking for your name at the bottom of the entry list wondering why it's not there.
