I was going to make this a Super Endurance event but with the slightly dwindling late-season grid size it seems wiser to run it as a standard event.

I like the long races also but I also like the 80 mins races. Happy this is not a super endurance as haven driven the real Brands, this layout is so far removed from what the real life track is like, it seems really strange to me to drive.

So, given that your last race was on the GTR2 track and not the UKGTR corrected length version, just what is a good lap time at Brands? Dave says that the race finished 7 minutes early as a result which would suggest a difference of 14 seconds a lap over the 29 laps. Which I find difficult to believe unless the original goes half way to Dover. I have setup my graphics options for a low end card as it is getting a bit long in the tooth. It's an FX 5950 Ultra with 256Mb of memory. Yep, some of us poor people are still on AGP. Any ideas if this is the right thing to do? Well baffled am I.

Let's see. The announcement says "UKGTR Brands Hatch 2005" which I don't currently have. But the server is set with the normal "Brands Hatch" track, which I have but at the same time has that problem with the race length. The race with the current server version would end around 10 minutes early according to my calculations. Let's make this clear, either change the announcement or the server track, cheers

But the server is set with the normal "Brands Hatch" track, ok...the server is now running the UKGTR version......which you don't have so I advise you to get it, as that is the one that we will be racing at. Thanks for pointing it out, it is a little confusing at times but even more so for the folks that actually start the servers etc. Sure everyone knew really though that it would be the ukgtr version we would be using....especially considering this is a ukgtr race.

Oh - the 'standard' one shouldn't be available on the server.

I'll be on the grass waiting.
If you want a PIT IN from me you had better let me know how.
I guess it is something to do with pre programmed text messages but I haven't found out where you put the text in.
EDIT: Might have found it but I can't see any evidence when I hit the designated button?
