UKGTL are proud to release the provisional details of Season 17 which can be found here (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=534&theme=5). Final details will be posted in December.

Great work Tony - thanks - looking forward to it. Only missing the LM55.

Thanks Tony, something for everyone,  8) you must live GTL ;). I'm having trouble finding adequate practice time for each Monday's GTL race plus the occasional ETCC 65 Wednesday race!  ::)

Yep, had to drop the LM55's but they have had a good run. Perhaps they can feature in the LCMT?

No F1 then? 

No. I will be contacting the mod author and asking if they will be interested in addressing issues raised during our running of their mod. Most obvious one will be to reduce the speed to be more realistic.
 

Darnit Tony! This is looking very tempting  ::)

Go on Clive, bite the bullet & install the other cars!  ;D If you got the F1s running, the others will be a doddle to install.

Looking like another unmissable season of racing Tony.  :thumbup2:

Clive, you could set up a poll to determine how much interest there would be in running the F1 mod (and perhaps alternating with the LM55 mod) on another night? We have Tuesday's, Friday's and Saturday's free.

If we found that their was enough like minded others (>10?) I would be happy to admin it.

Thanks Tony but I'm not over the moon with GTL and it might be time to unclamp my steering wheel and find its box.

Not sure what to do with the bit of desk right in front of me, everything else that I do on this pc has always had to be done around the wheel.   ::)

Many thanks for all your efforts and thanks also to all the people at SROUK who I have had such fun racing with.

I hope that you find the will to get back into sim racing Clive, I have always enjoyed racing agianst you ever since you helped me get on-line with GPL many years back. Therefore I see that it is your fault that I am terminally hooked on this frustrating pastime!!! and I don't see why I have to suffer alone  :-\.

My own immediate future within simracing is a little blurred at the moment, as I don't know if I will have more or less time to indulge myself now that I have officially retiried, as of yesterday ( woohoo!!!). My thoughts are that I should have more free time to practice, but my dear wife has intimated that there might be "a list of jobs".

Tell me about it!  ::) :rockon:

Congratulations there Evil One!

It's fantastic.

I spend all my time making things as shown here:-

Always said that engineering makes a great hobby!  It's trying to earn a living at it that sucks!

 :) Evil Clive - congratulations, see it as the first day of the rest of your life............

Tony -  Season 17 looks a fantastic mix of challenges with, from my point of view, nothing missing. Thank you.

Hi Clive,
 Nice page, I used to race RC buggies many years ago. (Even made the reserve list once for the European championships).

Still have all my old stuff. Back in my day it was all Nicads, 27mhz radio and Brushed motors. I used to run a Schumacher Cat XLS in 4WD, an and RC10 in 2WD and a home built Tarmac car (Basically a big 1/12th car) for a series called Pro 10 which ran for a few years in the late 1980's. Also have a Mardave Meteor which was actually a lot better than most people thought.

Brings back happy memories camping out at various race tracks during the British Championship.

TTFN
John.

Sorry John, I totally missed your reply.

Sounds like you were in it up to the neck!

I now have the car sorted  and need a 12 year old with the reactions of a rattle snake to drive it.   ::)

PS  I had more to do with the Cobra than the Meteor http://www.planet-venom.co.uk/

Not looked at season 17 yet, but my work has meant I have missed most of te F1 events, which I will miss very much.

I'm very interested in joining you for Season 17. Not raced online before though. I use a gamepad, is that ok?

Hi Andy and welcome to UKGTL. If you can drive using a gamepad then that's fine with us. I would suggest that you get on a practise server for one of the Season 16 races just to check that you have no connection issues etc. Perhaps not a '67 F1 race as that needs a load of prep before your up and running. Best to try when our next L16TA race is running so that will be after 19/09/2016. Details here https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=13460.msg242646#msg242646

Just download the track and one of the car sets for the purposes on testing.ok?

Any questions? Just ask.

Cheers

WT

I think I need to get more practice before joining you. Don't want to get in the way!!

I wouldn't worry about it. We have all ability levels here from  :alien:'s to  :wheelchair:'s

Tony, thanks for those links that you sent me but I can't connect to any of them. Downloaded cars etc yesterday. Think I've got a rough idea what I'm doing.

Ok, odd about those links not working tho  ??? Can you copy here one of the links that didn't work for you so I can check it out?
As always, we are here to help you. So any probs just post ok?

Tony, Just read about registering. Thanks for your help.

I'll be having a look at these events when they get posted up. The Can-Ams look interesting as do the GT40 and the Ford Asia series.

I always seem to have trouble tweaking the seat positions to get a proper "in the car" feeling as these settings are usually included in the .CAR files and changing them causes online mismatches. Hopefully these mods will have a wide range of up/down movement.

That doesn't look like one of our links  ???

In car seat positioning can be altered in-game by using the appropriate keys.

NOTE: Your key assignment may be different to those shown above. These are what I have assigned to seat control.

It's the narrow range of seat up/down adjustment that is usually the problem though Tony as this can only be set by editing the max and min movement in the .CAR files. Easy to fix for offline fun (I have a "dirty" PnG copy which I still enjoy) but the game checks the .CAR files to make sure the car physics hasn't been changed and will report mismatches.

If you give the Can Am's a try

and you find an issue let me know with details..

The pack is ready to go as far as I'm concerned but still available for final tweaking if someone comes up with any suggestions.

TTFN
John.

Tony, checked again, I got three e-mails and this link was one if not two of them. At the moment I'm busy Mondays, but I noticed that Tuesdays might be an option in the future.
Next seasons racing certainly looks interesting. Thanks for all your time and help and will keep an eye on the website.

Thanks for that. Just given these cars a quick blast around Dijon and all seems good regards seat adjustment. Cars drive very nicely and should be good fun to race  :thumbup1:

Hi, what days are the races for Season 17 run on? Thanks in advance.

Every Monday night
