BTW, how can I change the self driving when pitting and when race finish? I can't remember. I had to setup a new profile driver and just can't remember. Thanks.

I think their settings in your PLR file. You probably have your old one under your previous drivers name. I think you can simply re-name it to overwrite your current drivers PLR file and you should have all your old setting back.

(5) 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

No worries PR, Sandor & Matt. It wasn't a track I enjoy very much anyway. PS: Sorry to Tibs for spinning your Corvette on about lap 5, I was too eager on the throttle

Took a bit of a gamble on the Pantera (don't usually like these big powerful beasts) but found/adapted a nice setup which gave me a PB in quali. Cautious start and first lap, but then came across a stationary Paulo in T1. Sorry for the tap mate, but I had nowhere to go. Had a decent race from there on which included a nice little battle with my teamie Geoffers.
Lost it a couple of times, notably on the penultimate lap when I was concentrating too much on an approaching Lazlow in my mirror. Fortunately I had a big enough gap to limp home for P9.
Have to say I thought the track looked fantastic and so much the better for not having that later Mickey Mouse section at the bottom.

Qualified 16th & finished 8th having got up to 5th for a short while fairly early in the race. Enjoyed the first half as no matter what position I was in, there was always somebody to fight (thanks for good driving all ). Unfortunately by the last 10 to 15 laps, I was pretty much stuck on my own. I could see API up the road regularly, but as my tyres wore he seemed to edge away & as I pushed I started finding the barriers . Prefer the old banked corner to that new hairpin T1, but good race overall from where I was sitting. Legzy p.s. Great win Lazlow. Any win against distinguished opposition such as Minton, Ade, Shark & Mr Holmes must have been a quality performance (Don't think I forgot anyone Oily ). p.p.s. Well done to Tibs & Matt for braving the Vette .

Well then....after my mistake tapping Geoffers on second lap (I made the report of the incident to take my deserved penalty) I fall to dead last. Sorry to goltop57 too, I was there because I was waiting to Geoffers to come back to tarmac and my front end was aiming to his car. That is why I was stopped. Didn't want to reverse in the middle of the corner and jeopardize more drivers. Two laps later I went to pit repairs because a huge oversteer due to the rear tap I suffered. 3 minutes of repair work, had put me 2 laps down, nevertheless I tried to finish and collect as many points I could for the team. Last half of the race I was behind Dan (1 lap down but being a bit faster than him) and in front of ADE (1 lap down aswell) and kept their pace, which make me more mad with myself for ruining Geoffers race and mine also. Congrats on your win Lazlow and to mr_oily (do you have a RS3000 Capri in real life?) and Dan's podium. Cheers

Well, first race of the second half of the season and it had it's moments that one - at one stage in practice I thought Dyno was on for pole and I'd be slotting in nicely for a second on the grid.....then I woke up - well Jim, Mr. Minton and a resurgent Steve Holmes did anyway! Sandbagging if you ask me but still - that was me in fourth instead Possibly my worst start this season and by the time I'd got the thing rolling, I'd been given a "fly-by" from Phil's KERS powered Pantera - we shall knight thee Maverick. Managed to pick my braking point reasonably well into T1 and creep around the outside with just enough speed to slot me in behind Minton, leaving Dyno hot on my tail. Some good tussles early on, somehow found myself in second(?) for a few laps before braking for T1 with the car slightly off balance. Locked the inside tyre and just eased off the brake in time to get enough grip to keep me mostly on the black stuff and but a few inches onto the gravel - that let a charging Dyno through who was followed by Dan who also needed no invitation to nick another one of my lovely race places Tried to take the early initiative on the latter a couple of laps later before he'd learned where I was quick and to give me a shot at staying in the same postcode as Jimbo, so I stick it up the inside of the first chicane - was close but didn't quite come off as I'd liked! Eventually after some more close racing and a fair few more laps Dan made a rare slip up, didn't quite get the turn in for the right hander before the really slow downhill left and I managed to just drive my line and nab the spot back. After Cadwell's horror show any points were good here - I knew it would be tough seeing Jim's pole time but the story of the race was really going to be about whether I had a hope in hell of hanging on to the back of Lazlow in the opening stages and whether he'd lose the edge of those tyres in the closing stages. I didn't, and somehow he kept the pace up with what I know must have been seriously second hand rubber by then so hat off to ya bud...bold car choice and maximum points as a result. I'm not looking at the drivers but we lost a few points in the team standings so we look forward to having those and some more back at Long Beach . P.s - PR if I drive a Capri, you surely have to be a CSL owner!

Got a good jump off the line but held 1st too long and went sideways after engaging second which let a few people through. Made a mistake coming out of the first corner which let Oily through.Was lying 5th and things were getting busy . Finally got second and thought i had a good chance of catching Lazlow after Oily dropped back after a mistake , i took a couple of seconds out of him but then the car just started to feel weird with MAJOR understeer and i couldnt keep consistent which Lazlow was doing and he started to pull away. By this time Oily had recovered and was large in my mirrors , it was like having one of them boggies that you cant flick off your finger , I new he had more pace but just tried to keep my lines good but in the end the Pantera bit back and Oily went past and he crusied away . First time ive finished a race in the Pantera , Grats to Lazlow on a storming drive. Cheers
