Shouldn't the suggested token spend = the number of tokens you have left? Or am I missing something obvious?

It's a technicality Tim. The suggested spend is the number you will be charged if you don't race. If we made this the number left then it would encourage people to use a lot of tokens before and then not race in the last one.

Well I've got 0 left which effectively excludes me. Good job too as I've never like Riverside.

Good job too as I've never like Riverside. thats cos you were greedy and used a speedy porker us others showed some restraint even when we did want to take said speedy porkers Never done a lap at Riverside so havent got a clue yet what sort of car is more effective here. Should be interesting. I wanted to take an IROC to emulate the real mccoy at this place but alas the token fairy was too stingey

Shouldn't the suggested token spend = the number of tokens you have left? Or am I missing something obvious? If you pick a sensible car from your suggested spend value... that's as close as I can get to giving you a "busy" race. Keep working on that Daytona or try one of the 289 Cobra's (Roadster turns a bit easier), keep us updated with your times & I'm sure you'll be fine Clive Well I've got 0 left which effectively excludes me. . Nope, you can choose a car to the value of 3 Tokens & it will save you some penalty points (as it will be less then your suggested spend) Well I've got 0 left which effectively excludes me. Good job too as I've never like Riverside. Never done a lap at Riverside so haven't got a clue yet what sort of car is more effective here. Power, that's what you want here mate.

When I try to join the practice server I get Booted as Possible Cheat and then the connection is lost. Any ideas? Message to Legzy : Just ducked under the 2:11 mark with the Daytona

(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here, 2.1 patch from here and enable terrain patch.start - programs - power&glory - Launch PnG patcher Do the feedback patch while you're there Even then you will get occasional "booted as possible cheat" messages (same message with GTR2 )

it improves the feel of the feedback (I believe). I think most of us have it on (I do), if you don't like it you can run it again to go back to how it was.

wow, what a great track this is ! Pure wide power circuit and loads of sweeping corner combos to get the power slides through This will be a mega race A track we should use more often too for high speed adrenalin action. Times so far (only about 5 laps in each) L88 2:09 wild and furious! Cobra coupe 2:12 Vette Z06 2:15 All 3 cars felt awesome around here. Now i know why the yanks love their big-block motors with tracks like this to stretch your legs on. The only concern is a 6 second spread on just the 3 cars i tried. You really need the best bang for buck you can afford here with your tokens otherwise you will be left in the tyre smoke

Cheers MJ. Tony gets credit for recommending begging for this one (& the bloke who made the track I suppose ). I'd be interested in your L72 time if you've got a chance to try it out MJ? I had a quick go in that at Mid-America & it felt a very nice drive, so I've kind of got that penciled in as the car I might drive here .

Tried to find the track on Google Earth, but it is now a shopping mall and housing estate. So far: 2:11.4 in L72 2:10.892 in ATCC 2:10.891 (CLive in CObra Coupe) Doesn;'t get any closer....

2:10.892 in ATCC 2:10.891 (CLive in CObra Coupe) Doesn;'t get any closer.... I sweated cobs trying to better that after you had left but never managed it. I was experimenting with the gear ratios and think that I must have left them too short. I was getting a half second improvement at the first split and then it vanished by the end of the lap, even though I thought I was going quicker!
