I've got the TS3 viewer ok at the mo, are you getting an error or does it just remain totally blank?
It didn't show at all yesterday and didn't seem to leave a big gap or anything either, it just took an age(!) to load, seems ok again now (P.s. it was tested on different pc's/browsers)

So what car are people thinking of taking for the new season? I would normally gravitate towards the F430, it has excellent cornering/braking & I know its fun but safe handling very well. I find the Z4 vaguely similar, but really carries its speed through the corners, though has to pay a bit of power to compensate (or other cars would have no chance!) Despite the 997 probably being the overall fastest (this helps MJ keep up ) with apparent excellent handling & strong straight line performance, I just can't do Porka's. Currently I'm thinking of taking out something a bit different to my normal rides, my hot favourite being challenge of the non-cornering Viper & it's brute force But if I get a chance pre-race, I want to quickly test the TVR as I don't think I've ever taken that before either What you lot taking? I for one are looking forward to seeing the grid lined up

Seems like I'm a bit rusty... Will try not to ignore Legzy and join tonights race. I need a brake from all that tank shooting anyway.

I'll be taking the Exige tonight, but if I'm horribly off pace I will probably use up my 1 allowed change and revert to the 996 or 997 for the rest of the series. Just hope I have someone of similar pace to race with and I'll be happy.
I think Jules will be joining us too and if so he'll be in the 997.

Legzy still beating that same old drum about the 997's from the many races ive experienced in GTC it hasnt got any advantage over any of the cars. The Z4M seems the strongest of the bunch and H@L in the Panoz has been extremely fast, whilst the F430 is also an excellent car. So put a sock in it ps... there is a brand new good quality F458 Italia mod out. Wouldnt mind seeing that added into the mix Be easy enough to do if we all installed it.

New season excitement mate, looking to unsettle my rival Don't think it worked legzy mind you proves the 997 is too fast Yeah, podium for MJ? The car must be too quick Great turnout & great race! Absolutely knackered after scrapping H@L from the green light to the checkered flag! Can't believe how hard I've just worked for 6th, amazing stuff. Good to see the legends out in numbers (& everyone else), I'll see you all next week hopefully & I'll see if I can get some of the old team Oldie faces out too. Chris p.s. lovely mix of cars, looked great on the grid

Well that was a lot of fun. Wasn't sure about the Exige and almost took the 996 in the end, but glad I didn't as it was so errrrm.....entertaining Never quite sure what it was going to do in or out of the corners and kept me focussed all race. Had a nice little battle with nsfast and had TT close behind keeping me under pressure. All was going well until I shifted into 1st by mistake spinning me round and allowing TT through. Well done to Daniel and the podies

Cracking opening race that and good turnout Qually was a good battle throughout trading times with the top 4 and ending up a good 3rd on grid I knew I was in for a very tough race with Tgc in front and NSF and gt right behind. First 5-10 mins was spent harassing TGC for 2nd and I felt sorry for him when he got spat off a kerb and span across track (no idea why he quit tho as was off the racing line out of harms way ) The rest of the race was spent with NSf breathing down my neck, chasing me hard so I couldn't ease off for a second. He mounted another late assault and I really had to focus to keep it sweet and was very relieved to see the chequered flag for a great 2nd place finish Dan was untouchable for the lead, great drive. Good team points too with TT in 4th

oh well..
everything was running great, I was even surprised with my 2nd position in quali (I chose the Beemer simply because I don´t remember driving it in any GTR2 mod but, man, that thing is fast!) when suddenly I had a problem that has been harassing me lately: I'm having brief but highly damaging freezing. I don't know if this is the right illustration for what happened but my limited english lexicon can't handle much more.
What happened was that I was exiting turn 8 and correcting my front from a minor tail slide when the steering just stopped responding for a 1 second, so I went just forward into the grass and, when finally I had a response, my left wheels were already on the grass and the spin was inevitable.
I just had time to hit ESC because I didn't want to cause general mayhem - I was 2nd by then, so, except for Dan, everyone else was just behind me. It all happened on 3rd lap.
Thanks for the opportunity and congrats to the winner!

I've noticed problems with loading these forthcoming event pages for the last couple of days.
There was some trouble earlier in the week when Arvixe were having network issues. I haven't seen any significant problems since Friday, and every time I look the TSViewer is working fine.

Interesting race - yes Spanner, I am rusty. Car was ok until I the tyres were worn below 10, then I slowed down and then it got worse. Good pace of the winner, outclassed us all. Grats MJ, nice to see a Legend on a pody again. Good turnout, too. Hope to be more regular here, though I miss a mounted cannon. At least 2 pounder would have been nice, might even make 2nd place yesterday. Err, don't look at my grammar, my tense usage is horrible, I know.
