I really enjoyed that! A PB in qualifying put me 6th where I finished in the race, very happy with that Had a titanic struggle trying to stay with Truetom for the entire race, don't think there was more that 50m between us the whole time, great fun Have to apologise for scaring the crap out of you Truetom when I locked up on the start/finish Glad it didn't spoil things, tried to give you plenty of room after that as I realised there was no way I was going to pass you without a serious mistake on your part Kicking myself for the one mistake that let Shark through... stupid, stupid, stooopid! Awesome season guys, I hope everyone is back for NGT S3 (except Mo & Leuven, you are just waaay too fast! ) Pops.

Unlucky mo, wondered what happened as It looked like you had some damage or similar from your speed. I was looking forward to a grweat scrap too. :'( I had an uneventfull race really, maybe because I was sensible and not trying to break the lap records this time . Well it paid off and I got the trophy from the top step with Rich also on podium, a good weekend for CBFR EDIT: didnt realsie it was another 1-2 for us Rich

That was my best GTR race ever tbh. Really close with PaulW for most of it but we both had our fair share of trouble. Started 15th, got to 8th and finished 12th. Not great, but the actual racing was fantastic. Sorry for the other Kerbies....perhaps my pressure put you off a bit.

Sorry to hear that Rob. Bummer Mo. I had the same in practice. First I had no controls I had to exit plug in Momo again and come back into game, then I had no force feedback, rectified with ff change in options in practice1. After that it was fine.
As expected I qualified well down in 10th in the Morgan, 0.4 off my Morgan PB, but that would have only gained me one more place. Luckily for me what I've found with the Morgan is that it doesn't really have much extra qualifying pace anyway, so I wasn't going to be far off that for race pace. Sure enough, my race pace evened me out a little with the opposition.
I took Tyf on lap 1 in his BiTurbo after he made a little error, gained a place as SBG went out and then as Mo exited with his troubles. I then pressured Jan in his F360 into making him make a mistake into the chicane before the Lesmos, which allowed me to gain another place. Then I clawed my way up to Pops and Truetom. I was pushing very hard to try and catch Pops slipstream and eventually I did. I was making most of my time on these guys into all the braking areas so knew if I could just get enough slipstream to get along side I had a chance of outbraking. Pops didn't give me the chance as he unfortunately made a mistake and I was through on him which left Truetom. To my amazement I just had the legs on Truetom and eventually outbraked him into Parabolica after wringing the Morgan's neck for all it was worth in TTs slipstream to pull along side.
10th to 4th was a great result for me. Really didn't expect to be top 5 in the Morgan at Monza, it's probably it's worst track of the season.
Rounded off another good season of UKGTR. I enjoyed taking the Morgan this season it was something different to spice up the grid and push me to drive hard. Hopefully some more of the fast guys will take slower cars next season to give even more great racing. I might take the Mosler next time, but I might take my bogie car the 911 as I hate it, so should be a great challenge as I just can't for the life of me work out how to set the damn things up.
Well done to Mo on his championship win, as well as TrueTom for 2nd and Rich for 3rd and CBFR for the team championship!
Nice to see a good turnout at the last race and well done to everyone who has taken part this season. See you soon for Season 3!

Well done Leuven, great pace. Top drive for 6th too pops I had a horrible time in that race Qualied about 12th with a 1:53.2, well off my PB. Race started fine, had a few good scraps for a few laps and a good battle with team mate Don until we had a coming together side by side into the first chicane. Think it was mainly my fault but will need to see the replay as i reckon he gave me a bit of a 'Heidfeld squeeze' onto the grasscrete. On the very next turn i got royally smashed up the arse yet again (lost count how many times thats happened to me this season ) and punted deep into the gravel where i re-joined very last...again. Then spent rest of race overtaking alot of people upto 12th & 13th and with about 7 mins remaining the car broke away from me in the 2nd Lesbos? 3rd gear right hander and i lost about 15 seconds and any chance of climbing higher :'( A crappy end to a good fun season, finishing a lowly 14th here. Its been a great championship with plenty of good times, mixed with bad luck. My garage is now fresh out of rear bumpers Cheers to Dave and Picnic and the mods for all the organising, top work Congrats to the champions

Lousy race for me personally. But it's been a great season (learned loads). Thanks to all the mods and other drivers.

Think I'll skip my usual rant and just agree with this Can I? Will I? Uuuh. Yes! T P.S. A bit of ranting never hurts

Very intense race for me and I enjoyed the 10 minute threesome with Greg and Wilier!! Aside form the last 5 minutes I was either fighting to overtake or fighting to defend my position- very exciting Pleased with a 7th overall, especially given I had to miss a couple of races, though admittedly it's unlikely I'd have made up the gap to 6th anyway. I think that may be my last GTR drive for a good while as I feel I need a break from the old girl in favour of GTL for a bit which I'm enjoying more at the moment. I'll return to GTR2 all refreshed and eager no doubt Big and sincere thanks to the whole simracing crew for running such an excellent series

Winning constructors and coming third in drivers has made my day. Great job Leuven.. but where was the victory lap back to pit, maybe you wanted to check tyre temps. Damn we must do team speak or something, then could have planned victory lap for photographers. Great drive btw Leuv, strong second half of season for us. Grats to Mo on winning drivers championship and Truetom for second. Close in constructors but two lots of maximum points snatched it away from Kerb Krawlers, great stuff. Look forward to defending that in season 3. Sorry Guys
Couldnt get online - the game wouldnt accept my password at the Muliplayer log in screen!!!! Strange that, as I was only online 2 nights ago. Tried Re-Registering, Re-booting the game and the pc, nowt worked, so I am sat here totally pissed off. What a waste of time all that practice was.
Anyways, good luck to the K`Crawlers in the Team shootout, and all the best to Mo in the Drivers Championship.
Rob
If it says incorrect username/password look in .plr and under multiplayer options there is line .. Lobby Login Timeout="20" // Time allowed (in seconds) before Login to the internet lobby will timeout - default is 20, try 50 or 60. Sometimes backup lobby needs more time to connect to it than main. And for you guys loosing FFB and strangeness with Logitech, I had this exact same thing where FFB would go funny and numb. It's caused by Logitech Wingman, it has some bugs for sure. I stopped using it last couple of weeks and haven't had any problems. Really all Profiler is good for is, keystroke delays. All other settings aren't really needed.. look here at bottom I explain how to use program I found for keystroke delays https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1146.0Profiler is terrible, i'll be uninstalling it at some point.

Yeah, Pops, it was close! I was watching you come on the straight and I saw you were faster there. I didn't wanna make a late braking just for this case. If both of us would be late on braking then we would surely crash. So I just let you by - great recover, by the way. I was hoping (not really, just to make a bigger gap) the sand's gonna hold ya, but you flew right over. Bags! I had to sweat some more. I'm glad you weren't pushy like I was in Anderstorp (sorry again, Greg ). I had to keep a place, 'cause Rich was chasing me in the championship, so I would have fought back. Shark, you were faster throughout the track so I couldn't hold you. Maybe I could make you sweat but it would be dangerous so I didn't. I knew I could hold Pops easier than you. No offense, Pops, Shark is just more pushy. Glad I could hold onto 2nd place in the championship, though in the end Rich would deserve it more. Maybe next season, eh? Good race, I needed to finish after several previous races where I quit before end due to my own mistakes.

No offense, Pops, Shark is just more pushy. Heheh! No offence taken Shark was flying in that Morgan! After my little lock-up I was more concerned about making sure I didn't screw up and lose 6th place so I didn't try to push you, just stay close enough to capitalise if you made a mistake. I think there was about 0.7s between us at the finish which is the closest one I've been involved in

Calmed down a bit now. Congrats to the Mighty Mo and CBFR on well earned titles. And thanks to Mo (in moderator mode), Picnic, Dave etc for putting on another entertaining season . I enjoyed taking the Morgan this season it was something different to spice up the grid and push me to drive hard. Hopefully some more of the fast guys will take slower cars next season to give even more great racing.
Quados to you Shark, must have been so tempting to take 360 last night. Your choice definitely added something to season for everyone, and made pops day at Estoril , if more did the same I am sure S3 would be even better. See you all there.
