A bit off topic but a good place to get a response. I am looking for ideas for the next bunch of Thursday evening P&G series So if anyone has some things they would like to see, that might be popular please PM me. P&G v3 might actually come out some time, but seems vapourware to me at the moment as the developers find more and more things to add and fine tune, so we will keep running V2.1 series as long as there is interest.

That's a surprise Matt.
I didn't expect there to be another PnG series.
But if there is an unexplored corner of PnG that proves popular then jolly good!

Possibly a really, really, long series featuring the 970cc Mini. What's not to love right there?

Like I said "as long as there is interest"
If people are not interested any more then we won't bother to run it. Seems that enough people turn up on occasion to continue for the time being.

Hello all.
My G25 is disconnected since about 1 month and a half, but I guess I'll be back soon. I'm still interested in the SimRacing PnG series, even in v2.1 of course. But I have not enough time for the moment, could change in the coming weeks.
See y'all. Have some good races !

I posted a question on No Grip forums, and DucFreak says they are trying for a P&G v3 release possibly next month, subject to "voodoo" as he says. So, if V3 is released before the end of these current series then we will start with V3 imediately after. Otherwise I will run a few short series while we wait.

Very good news !!! I'm interested in a new P&G series too - but no concrete idea yet. Are there any official addons for P&G we could use (I have a lot of GTR2-addon cars of that era running in P&G...) Time of course and unfortunately ever will be a factor due to my work-related situation

I uninstalled 2.1 a few months ago as I found it so frustrating to drive. I'm hoping V3 will be better sorted in this respect and if so I will return to racing it here. TBH I found racing Historx to be far more enjoyable than 2.1 and can't understand why more leagues don't use it....plenty of love, but currently nothing afaik in the European timezone I would suggest some Historx trial races here in the interim period, but it's a bit of a nightmare to set up (ask Clive ) and might put some off. Could be worth consideration though

Could be worth consideration though I've looking at the Historix mod as I liked the idea of online realtime daylight but beyond that fail to fully grasp it's attraction. Isn't it just a collection of GTL cars imported onto another sim-racing engine. And you need to have Rfactor so where's the USP? I think it would be a hard sell to introduce here whilst GTL is still heavily supported by new mods and tracks. I do mirror your frustraction with P&G and always have done. Never fully bought into that "more realistic handling" boast. But it was free and tacked onto GTR2 fairly easily. @SpecialK No additional mods except skins possibly. Sorry for posting here. Please move if considered too off-topic

I'll try to have a look at it. If I can get it working then we could try a race or two to gather opinion. I also am uncomfortable about mods that people knock up from rFactor, and Tony's right about GTL mods
Personally I never really understood why people put so much time into rFactor/GTR2 mods when the physics and the way the cars handle in Race07 was more realistic. native GTR2 itself works well IMHO, It's always baffled me why the P&G cars don't handle as well as the GTR2 model they are developed from. I assume it's because they are just modded GTL cars really.
Anyway we are going off topic rather. Perhaps we could start a "Future of P&G" topic if lots of people want to make input.

Looks like I cannot make this one because I - for one more time - cannot get my GTR2 started. Same problem like last week - thought I had soved it. Cannot find the thread ( at nogrip I think) where I found the solution last week edit: wrong week

I'm sure that when the V3 will be released even some VDA friends will add to the fun again in UKP&G. I will try to (re)make a good team to give a deserved challenge to John and SBRCs guys. It's still my favourite sim, and the new car physics will be surely appreciated as they are a big step forward compared to the 2.1 Let's wait another month...

Now here's something really strange. Having downloaded and installed Symmons, my P&G wouldn't start ! When I remove the track again, the game starts as usual (¤_¤). Anybody else with the same problem ? Stig

I haven't tested the installer. Dave did it for me. The one we are using is the standard one from NG from MR INgall http://www.nogripracing.com/files/get/2306/Symmons+Plains+2006+v1_0+by+MR_INGALL.rarTry installing that? Just tried it on line with FMG and his friend and works fine so far as I can see. (They were using the original NG install)
