Gah, I always forget to put that in the Subject. You'd think by now SimpleMachines would've fixed that missing link in SMF!

I tried a quick race with this new track. I have version 1.1 and when I tried to load the track the game immediatley closes. I believe the extracted brandshatchGP folder goes in the gamedata/locations directory for GTL right?

IIRC there are two Brands folders (GP and Indy) inside anotehr Brands folder - it's the last ("top") one which goes in Locations. I believe the Zip file is a ModMan acrhive - in which case the structure matches GTL's. Version 1.1 won't do you any good anyway; the race announcement clearly states version 1.0 and that's what's on our downloads page.

Must be compatability problem with 1.1 However there are othe downloads for versions 2.00 and 1.3 etc. Are those allowed?

What are you gibbering on about? There is only one Brands Hatch on the SRou downloads page as linked to in the race announcement above. You won't be able to join our GTL server with anything else. It's not rocket science, honest! (Though I did know a former rocket scientist once and she was thick! )

(Though I did know a former rocket scientist once and she was thick! ) What I meant was I cannot get the track to work in single player despite doing what you said about the folders. When ever the track loads, my game closes. However you also said that you only use the version 1.0 GTL but I have 1.1 so I am assuming the track is incompatable with that version. I am aware that I cant race any GTL races on that server as of now. However some other tracks (not brands hatch) have versions such as 1.3. I only thought there was gtl version 1.0 and 1.1

Add-on tracks have their own version numbers which are completely different to the version number of GTL. Brands Hatch 1.0 as downloadable from the link in the announcement post is perfectly compatible with GTL 1.1 as this is what the server is and what we drivers are all using. If you have the track as downloaded from the SimRacing.org.uk downloads page and it doesn't work then I can only assume you haven't installed it right.

Sorry I cant make this race. Funnily enough I will be at the Brands Hatch Hilton attending a sales conference.
Dont think they will have GTL on the agenda.
It would be more interesting
