Note 4: We are using the SIMBIN lobby for this event. See here how to switch lobby
Note 5: We run a superpole qually, you get one chance only at a outlap and qually lap. Take it easy on your outlap and get you car in a good position to run you qually lap, leave enough room to allow for the unexpected from the car infront
you don't get another go if you have to take avoiding action..
Note 6: 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. AndThe kerbs are not deemed as track, therefore 2 wheels must be within the white lines, on the tarmac, At All Times..
Note 7: Points to be awarded for completion of the race 1st place gets 30 points right down to 1 point for 30th place
We have 2 races per event so a double win can get you 60 points, there are no points awarded for fastest lap or pole position. But you must finish the race to claim your points.

[Andreas Löffler]

@Rupe Wilson yes, please car #936.

 

[Antonio Tavares]

Yes I'm in Rupe, pls sign me up

 

[Neil Gault]

don't know the track but stick my name down plz

 

[Hans Sneep]

Signing up, this will be my last race before my holiday for the next 3 weeks

 

[Dave Flower]

Great to see an almost full field already for this, thankyou all for signing up.

Just seen this and I thought I'd mention it here - many GTL Club members have RACE 07 too - so why not try to get more cross club activity going, the people into Retro Race 07 might be interested in GTL Events and anyone who likes GTL is bound to like the Race 07 Retro events - Win for both Clubs ! NOTE THOUGH - the Race 07 Retro AND Power Expansions are required - Mid Ohio Track is in the Power Expansion which adds Mid Ohio and Chayka Tracks as well as the Zonda R, M3 GT2 and Matech GT1 to Race 07.

Dave Flower , I would like to try out Retro but weekends are rare so will chill with a beer and I think Saturday night is a tough call for most people. There are very few sign ups for the events maybe move to a week day night not Tues or Thurs when GTL is on track.

 

[Tony Wiltshire]

We tried out Retro and the attendance was low to non-existent. It didn't really stand much of a chance with the limited car selection and I can't say it was anything special.
Deleted it of my HD several weeks ago.

 

[Paul Bennett]

Gonna be good T1 could be messy on the start

 

[Rupe Wilson]

I Hope all remember that will so many cars on track your breaking point will differ as you go into the first corner. The further to the rear the sooner you will have to break..
No last of the late breakers please.


So on the first lap to all drivers
There is probably enough room for 2 sided by side.. so don't expect to be diving up the inside.
and leaving the cars on the outside no were to go.
If your on the inside hold the inside line through the corner if your on the outside hold your line around the outside.

You cant win the race in the first corner but you can loose all,
So please think about this.

I'm not sure if I have missed something, but are we supposed to have a download link for custom liveries?

 

[Warren Schembri]

I'm not sure if I have missed something, but are we supposed to have a download link for custom liveries?

I believe that if you confirm that you will be attending the race tonight, Rube will then include you in a private conversation that includes the link to the custom liveries for this series.

Like Paul, saturday night to me is a tough night for racing.

However I did try a couple of those events a while ago. And although some of the cars are absolutely good fun to drive, the amount of grip they have is VERY different from GTL and setup options are quite limited, IIRC there's not even gearing options on some cars.

On top of that: of the four races I started, twice I got smashed out of the race within a few laps. Not on purpose of course, but still.. I did actually win one race too, but TBH I gave up on it after that. Maybe I'm just spoiled though, expecting GTL Club - like behaviour on track everywhere..

 

[Tony Wiltshire]

I had another "Lost Connection" during a league race last night. These are becoming too frequent. In July I change my ISP from a BT copper cable to Virgin Media's Fibre Optic broadband. I'm hoping that this fixes my dropout problem.
Hope I don't get one tonight but it is likely

 

[Tim Ling]

I've had a lot of disconnects as well Tony Wiltshire, though I'm on Orange broadband. Moving over to Virgin Media too, on the 22nd June. I've tried re-starting the router, re-starting the pc and ensuring there are no un-necessary background programs running, but I still get disconnects from GTL. Whenever it happens TeamSpeak is still running, so the problem is with the connection to the GTL server & lobby

I'd recommend to disable the following before joining the server:

- anti-virus and firewall software (You'll be safe anyway, believe me)
- windows automatic updates

There are a lot more things you can do to improve the stability of your online connection, but that would be for another topic. Oh, and close all browser windows, MSN and Skype while on the server.

 

[Paul Bennett]

I was on last night my game CTD never had that before but stayed connected
