That's put me in a bad mood, hard drive courrpted I have no choice but to attempt to restore factory setting. I know I should installed GTL on my external drive. It also now means that I have download and install GTL again....

EDIT: Downloaded and installed GTL again

And I'm currently having a test of the KAD Mini mod (by the same bloke who did these ones) that might throw a cat amongst the GTC76 pigeons...

Looking at the feedback at No Grip, the KAD Mini has a couple of graphic bugs (eg.tyres sinking into the ground), so might be best to see what develops.

Stuart Thomson · Mar 7, 2012

Yeah - that was my experience with it too.

Stuart Pocock · Mar 7, 2012

This might seem like a daft question but how do I join the server/lobby?

Typo Editied

Stuart Thomson · Mar 7, 2012

I'm sorry, but I think you're missing a few words out of that sentence, so I'll be generic.

You join the lobby by going through the Mutliplayer option, once you enter your username and password, then you will see the RD server in that lobby.

If you haven't registered on the lobby, you'll have to do that first, but the process is the same after that.

Select the RD server and it will prompt you for the Club password (link to that is in the top post of this thread), then you select your car and you're in.

Sorry, I've had a long day. When I click on multiplayer it keeps prompting me of a serial number? As I downloaded GTL from race room I haven't got a serial number.

Stuart Thomson · Mar 7, 2012

That's the online code - you should have got one with your download

Thanks Stu. I'm about to whizz round edmonton.

Signing up ( no work !)

Warren Dawes · Mar 8, 2012

I've just downloaded and had a look at the track. I spent most of my test laps getting lost and slamming into concrete walls that suddenly appeared in front of me. :oops:
Nice track but quite different to the norm. Guess I should have joined the Boss Event to get used to it.

I think you might be better off anyway, imagine trying to go round and learn the track in that huge thing

You'll get it in a couple of laps, cool track.

Neil Gault · Mar 8, 2012

going to try and make this one, should really be getting some track time for a race i have tomorrow but this track was great the other night

David Cuthill · Mar 8, 2012

Think I can make it. Put me down as tentative please.

Roland · Mar 8, 2012

Last-minute signup! Yes please!

Stuart Pocock · Mar 8, 2012

What a blast, 1st race quailifed last got myself in 10th in the first corner then ran wide hit the wall damaged my suspension managed 3 three laps until wham... the famous cat finning barrier on the back straight on my car rolled a few times get going but I couldn't get into 3rd gear went into the pits and forgot which keys navigated my pit requests... So I thought it would be best to retire from the race.
Race 2 wasn't better qualified 11th but then it downhill had a false start and in lap 1 I noticeded Hans that hit the wall but I didn't reliase that I missed by braking point and smashed into the barrier and then into Hans sorry about that. Engine then cut out and retired. Good fun though also a huge thanks to the guys in TS as I had a few installation issues

Warren Dawes · Mar 8, 2012

I really need to learn to wake up my brain as well for these early morning starts.

Sorry to bail out for race 2, but it was a very dopey accident (or is that "senior moment"). DOH!!!!! :oops:

Entering turn 1 after the start, I realised I had my name tags turned off, so I leaned over to hit my Tab key and accidently hit ESC. Super dooper OOPS. :oops::oops::oops: Decided to then go join my wife for breakfast since we have to go out very early this morning.

Nice car (gotta love the Mini's) and a nice track, very different.

Race 1, I struggled to learn the track and was as inconsistent as hell and kept making silly mistakes hitting the walls. I remember some close racing with lots of guys through the race, especially Neil and Senad. At one stage Senad flew past like I was standing still, nice going mate.
Race 2, I adjusted the setup quite a bit and it felt much better. Fluked pole and was looking forward to a better race this time. Then came my stupidity as described earlier.
Grats to Roland for Race 1 and to whoever took out race 2.
Thanks for the fun.

Peter van Zanten · Mar 8, 2012

A great event Stu thx nice job.

Jack Smith · Mar 8, 2012

Good fun as always but I was a bit of a hazard to David and Hans. Sorry boys.

Race 1 had me fighting with David ( thanks for waiting ) for numerous laps, while in Race 2 I unforunately bumped Hans off track and that is why I think Stwart hit him. My error completely. With about 4 or 5 five laps to go I was alone and saw Peter behind so I waited and we did battle. In my waiting I cut track ( turn 1 ) twice plus an earlier one gave me a stop and go penalty so that ended my little plan.

Grats to Roland and Bob, all other podiums, thanks Stu and cheers to all drivers.

Senad Subasic · Mar 8, 2012

Great couple of races; Minis are always a blast, and the track was pretty nifty. It's nice to be able to race with people.
A couple of fails with Warren and Neil, sorry to both. I hope all was good.

Cheers Stuart.
