are we free to use any of the IROC tyre compounds? as in can we use the modern slick   The other tyre choices are just a throwback to GTR2. You should only use the Historic tyres |

I've had 40 mins practice and have got to the region of low 1:58's in the 'Vette and mid '57s in the Daytona. Would have rather taken the daytona as I'm loving the new engine sounds but for the sake of trying to keep it close I'll have the vette  I'm getting very variable speed test results at the moment - If anyone sees me bouncing around like a loon please tell me so I can quit and avoid ruining anyones race.. |

Me too.
A SnG for going when the light changed was too much to put up with on such a nasty little track.
Fun factor went negative!
Probably OK for rollerskates.

I gave up, should have had a restart like last week.
I was lucky I couldn't see the lights from the front so went on the timer.

Dq for me too, first I knew of any stop and go was an instant dq on lap 3 But as some have said, organisers should have called a restart when several dq'd straight away. Pointless carrying on with third of field.  |

Lights were same as previous event. Sorry I forgot about it as well.
Those who got a black flag (was in top left of your screen) should perhaps have pitted for their stop and go as some of us did.
Was the makings of a good race, I like the track, is a bit narrow for the big power cars perhaps
but Alex Dan and myself had some good racing for a while until we damaged things.
I couldn't easily call a restart because chat doesn't work on this machine, and last time it was a case
of most people asked for it so we did it. no one said anything and people seemed to be racing rather
than take a S/G so we continued.
I will test the starts and post in BIG LETTERS to remind people about the start light procedure next time

Never noticed any flag on my screen But bit daft to continue a race where over half have to enter pits and do an SG. You say it happened last week too? Probably worth asking the GC boys what they are doing different then as I've had 4 races with them in p&g3 without any start problems. Probably a fix that can be applied to any track.  |

I hung about to see if a restart would be called but when so many seemed happy to do their SnG I cleared off.
Shame. Disliked the track intensely but it might have been fun.

GC have been using default tracks Mark, no problem with them. This is a problem on this track, see Zwiss's comment, 4th down on this page. http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=25510&page=2Its worth quickly looking through the comments on the downloads over at NG, someone has usually found any problems already. |

Was a huge shame about the start lights/stop & go's etc. But I find it odd that two tracks in a row have had the same error? Isn't it more likely to be a fault with P&G3? Someone should try this track on GTR2 and see if the same thing happens. BTW I loved the track  |

Never noticed any flag on my screen It hides behind the semi-transparent background of the XD panel MJ. Is hard to spot. |

You can move the XD panel(s) by adjusting the X & Y values in XD.ini
(x=left/right, y=up/down)
