Championship standings HERE Grid/server capacity: 22 Track: Stardust International Raceway Download thisCars allowed: Can-Am car pack Download thisDrivers are reminded that they are limited to only two drives per manufacturer. Check your status HEREPractice: ~19:20 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:20 (20 mins) Race: 20:40 (26 laps) Time of Day Setting: 14:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: simracing.org.uk Monday Password: see aboveNotes: (1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage. (2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read Autopit="0" Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable. Special Notes: None

Installed from CanAm link onto my GTL master copy and unfortunately it doesn't work. It doesn't give a CanAm option. Has anybody else tried installing from this link?

Hi Bill, If you mean there is no Can-Am Class, that is correct. They are in the GTC-TC76 class. (They will appear in their own class but you have to edit the SIM_GTC.gdb file to add the following class..... " SIM_CA1967 = Can-Am 1967"). So mine looks like this for example... Category { SIM_TC65 = FIA TC-65 // category that can be filtered out using NOT: SIM_GTC65 = FIA GTC-65 // category that can be filtered out using NOT: SIM_GTC76 = FIA GTC-TC-76 // category that can be filtered out using NOT: SIM_CA1967 = Can-Am 1967 // category that can be filtered out using NOT: } I think it would have required a similar procedure to the F167 install to be 100% safe to achieve this so they live in with the 76's by default. TTFN John.

TTFN John. Thanks Jeep. It's OK the cars are there. (A note to where the cars are located would have been appreciated as I wasted a fair amount of time looking for separate CamAm option as I think you had on the trial installations.) I see though how it allows CanAm to be part of the Season 17 Series with a single installation!

Ah, Yes I think we did have a conversation at some time in the dim and distant past about setting them up to appear in there own class but it was done this way to create as few headaches for Tony and the casual downloader as possible.. It does say in the readme part of the agreement screen in the installer.... "By default the cars all appear in the GTC-TC76 class but they will also appear in their own class by adding the following line to the SIM_GTC.gdb file in the catagories section. SIM_CA1967 = Can-Am 1967" But hey who reads the agreement. It is worth adding this class though as there isn't really much that will run with the Can-Am's. Even pointy squirty things like the BMW Procar are murdered on most tracks. TTFN John.

As a "casual downloader" I really appreciate this consideration, and I suspect that Tony is mighty relieved too!!

Good point, but I fear that we possibly will get the well known message like "...gdb mismatch..." online on a regular basis if we change the gdb-file accordingly.

If anyone discovers a bad cut warning on this track could they please post, stating where the bad cut is at. The track limit is defined by solid white lines. You do seem to be able to cross this line with two wheels without incurring a cut (at least that has been my experience to date). If anyone finds otherwise please post. Thank you.

Totally undrivable for me tonight. I battled on as long as I could but screen freeze after screen freeze for some reason. Never even got within 2 seconds of my usual time around here constant freezes for about half a second several times a lap, I've done 100's of laps around here including a fair few on the server leading up to tonight and never had this before. I've decided to give GTL a miss for a while, I don't get these issues with any other sim and never had it with GTL until recently. See if I can find it and try to get back next year. TTFN John.

Congrats to Ziu, Erling and John for the series podium. Big thanks to John for making the series possible with his work on the mod cars and Tony for putting it forward. Not much to report from me on the race, just drove the track as best and safely as I could to make it to the finish. Always liked the track, it seems to me it's one of those that I can just get in a "zone" and the laps just pass by. Had a good docile setup on the Lola except having to short shift in 2nd to keep the rear in the rear. Hope I didn't hold you up Erling when you caught up to me, after your early trouble. The Lola and the Mac are just enough different in handeling and acceleration that to pass it's kind of tough. Only car I saw in the race that wasn't in a cloud of sand off the track....Kind of strange that some of us are having GTL crash trouble. It's happened to me the last couple of weeks but this week I beat the odds and uploaded all my virus updates manually before the race and then did a Windows restart also. No problems this week!!!! Again thanks for the series..........
Bob M.
