It's best if you create a standalone GTL install (copy your GTL to a temp folder, rename it e.g. REAL GTL, then copy back to your usual directory. Path the install to the new REAL GTL you have just created).  Install ver 1.0 first then update with the ver 1.3 install. Run the sim and purchase the cars.
We will not be able to use any skin packs with this mod.

Notes:
(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.
(4) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=377&theme=5)

Special Notes: There are no start lights, instead there are starting marshals who wave a green flag to mark the start of the race. The pole sitter can't see any of these marshalls without using the "look left" feature. Suggest the grid countdown feature be turned on.

Mustangfest anyone?  :)

Quite possibly  ;)

Yes!  :thumbup1: :rockon:

Had computer problems last night but will join you and see what happens.

NOTE: Real GTL cars only allowed for this one!

Using the Cortina for this one managing 1:46.7odd but might be able to get another sec off that.

I have a feeling that the problems with my comp are with the GPU it runs at 64+ degrees C after 30 mins in game.

Common problem apparently. Have you tried taking the side off the case? underclocking the GPU/graphics memory? Pointing a big fan at the open PC?

I have no side on the case have no idea how to underclock but sending it back as its under warranty so will use my old 512MB card until its sorted so will still be able to race.

This is why I carry a spare pretty much everything :-)

Be right back :-)

Just noticed you're in the standard Cortina on the server ;) You'll need to use the [Real] Cortina from the Real GTL Mod as in the race announcement. I'm just entering the server, so I'll let you know.

:-) sorted sorry I though that as I installed the mod those were the ones that were showing. Sorted now. Chears.

well umm that went well?

i managed to finish though so could be worse. see you next time folks.

GT was just too fast for everyone (needs to be carryinf some ballast that lad!), but had cracking race long battle pressurising chase with Matt. First half I was in front, made one mistake going wide & he was through. So my turn to pressure him, but he held good & a lap from the end I messed up & he was gone for good.

Happy with a podium, kept the Oldie flag flying while Mark C was absent anyway :)

A bit of a lonely race, but good fun in the tank trying for pb in the last few laps.

I raced here in the fezza 275 last night with NG and came stone dead last against Elans and various muscle, so it was nice to be in a quick car after that. Next round is noGoodwood, so I'm guarranteed a carp night there  :)

Sorry if I got in anyones way when I spun by the way folks.

Results and replay now posted

Thanks for this event Tony, choice of car bit of a no brainer.  No way am I a good enough driver to pass and battle with quicksilver384 for a hand full of laps and then draw away, the fastest lap tells the tale.

Disappointed, firstly having just set a 1:43, Microsoft started their 15th of month windows update (must sort priorities) this dumped me, downloaded, installed, changed reg, restarted etc - luckily made the grid: secondly having spent much of race in 5th place screwed it all up with 2 laps to go.

Having said all that it was an exciting and tiring race with action virtually for the whole race.  Made reasonable start from back of grid passed Jules (off track) and quicksilver384 brute power, he was then darting one side, drawing level before the superior Stang power pulled me away for a hand full of laps by which time I started to build up a safe distance and slowly draw away.  Then Jules caught me and we had a long battle before I saw in the mirror his car flying and finally nose diving - guess he hit the bridge support.  Shortly after that Kurt caught up and we had a long battle.  Tyres were getting worn and I was braking earlier and turning in earlier which encouraged Kurt to maintain attack mode, eventually I braked too late and went off and over the bank.  Seemed to have been caught in a rut and it took a while to get the Stang facing the right way and ride the bank and back onto the track by which time Kurt was long gone. and I settled for 6th.

Fairly dull race for me but at least I didn't suffer a disco. Early entertainment with Syd who passed me and I passed him back. He then fell off the track at turn 1. Then Kurt had a go and he also fell of at T1. Quiet race to the flag. Happy with 4th. BTW it looked like Legzy -v- Matt was a great scrap.

Was a good one, Legz fell off and I nipped past, then kept him a few secs behind untill I made errors, then he did.

Bill, why do you allow people to take control of your system. Microsoft believes that the main purpose of Your PC
is to update itself. Tell the mythering haddocks (Antispy/mal/alien invaderware etc) to politely let you know it has patches, rather than wading in
and taking over  :hammer:

Recon Microsoft is upset because I've not given it priority on firewall and antivirus but made Norton King - Microsoft's revenge, changing my Win 8 upgrade choice (tell me and let me decide when to install).  ??? ::) :devil: :rockon:
