Isn't there more than one circuit config for this venue?

Wow, you got this response in with less than 1 min 40 seconds passed since I posted the 1st message. ;D

I am not sure, full version if so.

If any of the drivers that recommended that I use the track can comment on this then please do. :) I will have a look my self when I get time.

Definitely use the full version. It's a fantastic circuit. We have raced there a lot in UKGTL. Quite often pitching small power cars against heavy brutes eg Fiat Abarth's -v- Mk II Jags

Yup, like Tony said.... We want the full version 8)

This track is litterally awesome. It has one of every type of corner/challenge you could want on a track :notworthy:

Lol, you gave in eventually!

Being that most of us like it your'll probably come away hating it!

I remember this track from somewhere. Prolly my early days in GTL. :) Will be fun to see it in these cars. Might be that I'll come out hating it. :D

You could say that I am a little excited!!! ;D I just hope I get back from Spa in time.

Few laps under the belt in the Morgan = 2:08

Well i hope someone sticks it up on the server soon!

The Thermalito track is now on the server and the server is running. :)

Lovely track. :) Except for the darn bumps. :wacko:

Had a few laps last night in the 997 Cup car which is a lot of fun round here  :o Best time is 2:08 so far but there are a couple of corners where I know I can improve if I find the right lines. Lots of patience required for overtaking here I reckon if it's not going to end in tears.

Race could be 1 hour long. :-\

first time ive seen this thread, was it a late plan?  Not sure whether i can make it, will see later. Used up all my good boy tokens having been out 2 nights on the trot then spent all weekend watching one race after another  ;D

Also never driven this track before so no prior practise  :(

damnit!

Can someone please host this somewhere? I think i've been banned and my account deleted! I guess they have it tied to your IP so logging on via our server wasnt the best thing to do :-[

If i try and re-register it says you cant have duplicate accounts, it wont send me a new password as my account doesnt exist. Very strange!

And i get booted if i try to use our old version 1 or 1.5 used previously in PnG

Ok, got it from Pilsbierbude and works fine.

I thought I would use the standard fun race time of 40 mins. The walls could get a bit closer if the race goes on longer. :)

Nice track, I was able to do my first few laps without crashing because you can see almost all the corners as you approach. As soon as you get a bit of confidence its very easy to over do it. :o :D

Not a great night for me.

Couldn't put it all together in quali and suffered a 30 sec freeze. Going to have to look at those silly ati drivers again I think ::)

Had a nice little battle with Spanner and Ade but selected 1st by mistake which put me in the tyrewall and lost a front wheel. Pitted for almost 2 mins repairs but after a couple of decent laps I put it in the armco killing the engine. Watched a bit from the pit but then discoed. Like I said, not a great night  ::)

Nice car and track combo though 8)

Interesting track, made for GTC. Well chosen. :)
Couldn't quite get to my pb so I was 3rd on the grid. After a few laps I managed to outdrag H@l on a back straight but then soon lost to Lazlow in a similar way. Couldn't hold to the pace and fell slowly behind to 4 sec, then started to gain again towards the end, though it was probably more to the 1-2 struggle than any better pace of mine. Might get interesting if the race was for 60 min as my tyres were only about 10 and had some life in them yet. :) Mosler was oversteary here even with 10 wing, while I think it's the opposite on every other track in the existence. :D

Grats nsfast for the win, you were uncatchable (is that a word?) even for speedy Lazlow this time. :)

P.S. Legzy, Ade - get a proper car next time. :P

driving the GTC cars on this track is like rallycross! powersliding all over the place. was good fun, the track has a nice flow to it

Good fun, when i wasnt facing the wrong way!

Need for speed fantasy track! Still, was good fun in the GTCs even if they were bouncing
around all over the show. Was doing ok. was catching HAL who then dived in the pits
with only a few to go, then I bounced off something, and ended up over a wall upside
down. waited for self righting cranes to jump in, but nothing happened, so quit.

I just wish I'd put some decent practise time in, once again joined late on & found it hard to get my flow sorted with the Morgan. I think I might have to start just picking my usual cars each race, I just struggle jumping from car to car with such little prep time :'(
