Test race for the track. I will see if I can organise a SROuk installer for the track so you may want to wait for that first. The idea here is to see if you can find any faults with the track please.

We now have a proper installer for the track. Thanks Dave. If you have installed the version from NoGrip then you can still join the race using that version, you just will not have the nice SROuk install and unistall options. If you want to delete the NoGrip version so that you can have the installer then, delete the folder named 'Kyalami' from this location: C:\GTR2\GameData|Locations\ And delete the file 'Kya_GPM_05.hat' from this location: C:\GTR2\Userdata\LOG\HAT\ Then download and install the SROuk version.

This is a nice track but, I am unsure about some of the curbs and bumps. I managed to get a SuperGT car stuck on some of the curbs and I need to know if it will happen to GT cars when racing in anger.
I hope to use this track for the GT2 class in the championship if this test is successful.
It would be good if people could explore some gravel traps and push the corner cutting etc when practising to help to see if the track is suitable for a championship race.
As this race is about testing the track, please take a pit stop in at least one of the races to help check the pit lane works OK. No need to take on tyres just 1L of fuel.

OK track problem #1 it causes the game to CTD at the initial carbon-black "gtr2" welcome screen. Install track - game ctd`s uninstall track - game works fine i have tried both humyo and filefront downloads and both exhibit the same problem. Could it be the installer messing something up?

I have tested and it worked for me. Are you using the NoGrip version? Having problems with the filefront link, do I need to register to use humyo link?
It is working for me, I have just tried it again. Anyone else having this problem or the same problem as Blito?

Can you see a folder named 'Kyalami' at this location? C:\GTR2\GameData\Locations\

i take it its Kyalami 2005 we want, not '70 ? If this is to test the track i would suggest a mandatory stop in one of the races, as legz mentions. Better no surprises in a league race

Mandatory pitstop in race 1 would make sense imo as race 2 can then be all about the fast gents fighting their way through the field.
I reckon the newer Kayalami layout (which bears no resemblance to the old one and has even been reversed IIRC) should be a real tester for GT1s with it's tight turns and chicane.

Yep makes sense and gives the track a better test. 1st post updated, mandatory pit stop in race 1. i take it its Kyalami 2005 we want, not '70 ?
Yep. Again 1st post update to say Kyalami 2005.

fixed my problem ! the installer put the track files in a sub folder (one for day and one for night) within the kyalami folder. Copying them to the parent sorted it. cant say im much impressed by the twisty nature of the track though

The last chicane as you turn in for the first part seems a bit dodgy to me. Only tried the F550 so far but it tries to spin you round if you put the wheels on the red and white and is very odd if you go beyond that.
