.............. I can now manage a 2.14.500 lap .............. Stig / Hotkeys
Great time Stig! Just keep it rubber side down and on the grey bit and you should be in the money. I don't know what the L76 was bred for, picnics I think, but my Sunday Best is a 2:16.3 in qually mode. Don't think I will be bothering the front of the grid.

I then tried to do some off-line testing and couldn't figure out where the heck was Silverstone? Or even BritishGP as the location file was named... Then I finally realized it was named "Northhampton".. Must of chased my tail for like 20 minutes before I figured it out

Can't get under 2.19 in anything in the yellow group, so looks like I'll be at the back this time! Don't know how Clive manages 2.16 in the L76 . The car seems to handle well, turns in nicely & behaves well under power but I could only get 2.20 out of it, must be doing something wrong! Falcon is awful, lots of power but can't get a setup that stops it understeering on corner entry & oversteering on corner exit. Just got in 2.19s with it. So looks like the Transam again for me, consistent 2.19s with that. Cya tonight.

Downloaded the track last night but havn't driven it yet. Now to get my excuses out of the way - I really dislike the modern layout of Silverstone, it bores me to tears even when driving it in real life Quite looking forward to next week on the original version though, should be a blast in these tanks Havn't picked my chariot for tonight yet, may go with the Mann Falcon as I like it - but it won't be the same with the default sounds and interior... Guess I could always edit that? Will changing the sound file in the .car get me kicked from the server? or will I just have to rename the sound files to match?

I may be wrong, but I don't think the sound files affect online play.

Soundfiles themselves don't change anything gameplay/physics related, but it depends how you implement them from a server POV. My 'own' Mann Falcon (Custom paint inside and out, plus different sounds) has the Mkii GT40 sounds (Maybe not 'right', but really suit the Mann ) activated through an edited .car file - I'm fairly sure that can cause server mismatches though as I believe you can alter the engine type in there. I still havn't tested that theory (Been meaning to try fitting an L88 engine into an Abarth for giggles ) but it certainly looks as though you can do that....

I tried to get on here last night but was getting a track not installed message. Strange as I think I already had the track as I'm sure we've raced PnG here before I've followed the track link and re-installed, but still same cannot join message.

I'm able to join the server. Maybe you can uninstall and then delete the track files GT. Files are found in \GameData\Locations\BritishGP.
Naming the track Northhamtonshire threw me off early on too. I should have added that in the race anouncement.

The installer had created a seperate GTR2 folder containing the GameData etc. inside my PnG folder That can't be right. Anyway, all sorted now I think.

I had a nice little race going until my computer gave up on me. I hope my car corpse didn't put anyone out while it layed there stricken online just before Bridge.
I had a great start getting 3 or 4 positions off the line. Had a nice quick battle with Legzy and then a good 8 lap battle with Matt and MJ. Hope everyone had a good race.

Bad race from my side. First lap I miss my brakingpoint completey and slam in the back of Clive's car , very sorry for that. After that I just couldn't get the focus right and made too many errors ending up side down on the start finish line Hope to be in a better shape next week.
