Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: nsfast on March 23, 2011, 08:12:14 PM +0000 I was going to join in tonight, but my game has still not been updated in steam (I'm on version 1.2.1.4). :(
I've tried a few ways to update it with no success. Any ideas? Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: Truetom on March 23, 2011, 08:19:38 PM +0000 what does it do?
Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: nsfast on March 23, 2011, 08:23:53 PM +0000 what does it do? The games loads as normal. Which is an improvement on last week :D. When I try to join the online session it says "incompatible game version". I'm running version 1.2.1.4, I think the current version is 1.2.1.5. I'm not able to force steam to update it. >:( Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: Truetom on March 23, 2011, 08:34:51 PM +0000 Sorry, can't help you there. Best to go for Steam Stupport. :-\

Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: Truetom on March 24, 2011, 07:28:51 AM +0000 Excellent fun, dicing up and down the order. :clap: Well, up to the point when tyre wear went up towards 30. :-\ Tyres are too soft, do we have any mod that fixes it? :)
Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: lazlow on March 24, 2011, 09:43:08 AM +0000 Having to drive a slow plodding touring car around the Silverstone National circuit didn't sound like the most exciting thing to do last night.....
but I have to say it threw up some brilliant racing :o...I especially enjoyed all the side by side action :thumbup1: I could of really done with having a spotter though...I didn't know where anyone was :D Maybe I've been wrong about the Touring Cars after all, they do seem to be perfect for a quick pick-up-and-play 20min race in the week. It's a shame not more people give it a go...you never know, you might like it ;D Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: goldtop on March 24, 2011, 11:00:42 AM +0000 Maybe I've been wrong about the Touring Cars after all, they do seem to be perfect for a quick pick-up-and-play 20min race in the week. It's a shame not more people give it a go...you never know, you might like it ;D Like I've been saying all along then :P Unfortunately the final rounds are in a couple of weeks after which I won't be organising any more of these. However, I do have another little project on the go which I'm getting really excited about. I hope to let you know about this soon if it all works out to plan. Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: Gazza49er on March 24, 2011, 02:02:16 PM +0000 Yep that was great fun last night, like Lazlow said its a good pick up and drive.
I thought this track suited these cars perfectly. Shame others didnt try it. Title: Re: Race 07 UK Touring Car Challenge - Silverstone (National) - Mar 23 Post by: picnic on March 27, 2011, 07:47:57 AM +0100 Sorry I missed this, had a couple of days away visiting relatives. I'll be around for the final round though :)
