After the recent release of a new version of the Riverside circuit, this race will serve as a test with a view to using it for round six of the Works and Privateers Trophies. I hope those of you not off on your summer holidays will join us for this and provide the track with a good test.

Kicked out once in qually, then screen freeze whilst following Martin at lap 2 or 3, so this one is no good for me. Cheers guys, hope you had fun.

some problem in pre race practise with frame stutter at 1 or 2 places , otherwise fine . The cure was to reduce the detail level Silly trick number 167 was to have a massive spin when trying out the practise server , this resulted in me driving the wrong way and getting a DQ Didn't realise untill I joined the race server I that the DQ would still be active tried windows cookie delete etc etc but was still getting a DQ so in desperation I ditched my weapon of choice ( the mighty Brabham) and joined in the inferior Lotus. spent what few remaining minutes of practise cobbling a set up for said Lotus only to find the gearing was way to short for the loooong straight and she was bottoming out in places . So after a few crashes and dashes I decided to take the early bath , Billy was way up the road and no one coming up behind to play with except the leaders who were now begining to lap me . Verdict so far Track fine ( though its not my favourite ) Connection fine No glitches or hang ups

Thx guys for the fun race . Grats to podium guys! Damn its hard to keep focus , been along time since i raced gpl . Great to be back though , sorry whoever i bumped into at the uphill hard brake turn .. . Im also struggling from stutters ingame. Its realy hard to keep timings up when the framerates drop. the last 10 laps was very chunky. Ive been trying diff things to get rid of it . Tried gpl powermonger etc .. since i have a i7 processor with speed stepping .Its realy annoying when it begins. Any good tips on this ? Heard it can be soundcard issues also. Ive installed soundblaster audigy 2 card , it should be good with gpl i think.

As seems to be the way recently, downloaded the track this morning & had a few blasts during the course of the afternoon. In the Zandy vs. Mexico setup competition, Mexico just won (well - that has polos too!).
Was disconnected once during qually/practice. Apart from that, no connectivity/frame-rate issues.
Thanks for the run. Some little scraps out there made it fun; I think it all seemed clean-enough!
Cheers, Dave.

As for the stuttering some people experienced, I did have some really minor in those quick esses of sector 1. Very little, but annoying as you need to be precise there, or you go off. Although my machine is relatively up to date, I often have this happening, all depending on the track of course. My details are as low as possible in order to avoid at least the square tyres , so I usually fiddle with the mirrors and the amount of objects on the track. Last, but by far most effective resort, is downgrading to 640/480 my resolution, crap to watch and occasionally not the best to drive on a laptop screen, but it does the trick pretty much everywhere. The connection problems must have been at my end then, I have to say I had an odd warning before I joined, about a windows firewall not liking Igor, suppose that could be the reason, cant remember having that one popping up before. Track is good fun though, and good for racing.

No issues with my connection or frame rates. Quite happy to use this track for the 67 Championship. First half of the race was fine then my concentration slipped with a few unscheduled visits to the scenery. Really needed a little longer to learn the track.
