My seat will likely be vacant, Martin. I've really gone off GTs and have never liked the 'ring as a venue so I'll likely sit this one out... Might finish reading the hamsters autobiography instead....

Thanks Jason! I'll register and show up in the chatroom, to consult with your cohordts. If you finish the autobiography, (the cat did it!) I can still go scrounging for another car, left lying about.

hI ... I hope you ( we) will use "Ring Trainer " for the qualifies , other way we need around 17 minutes ( with no problem on this 2 laps ( first lap is no time !)) to make one official laptime .... with 50 mn qualif , it's only 3 try to qualif.....

T7 server is set to 7 laps Long race and listening on Igor on console session and OpenGL_V2. I see that Pit Stalls are placed 700 m. before the start/finish line. Ciao

Managed to get my internet sorted again so I'm up for this one tonight :-) I'll have to disable my AVG Anti Virus during the race, it seems to cause frame rate problems. I haven't broken the 9min lap barrier yet so it looks like it is going to be a loooong race. 7 laps is going to take well over an hour for me!!! Good luck to my team mates Arf^3 and Fran Take it easy, a finish should guarantee decent points.

Phil , I had trouble with GPL and AVG I found changing to Avast cured the problem , though It did take a while to figure out that you need to configure the AV programme to allow GPL "and" GEM "and " iGOR and not just the game port . HTH though I have a feeling its a really dumb suggestion

Time = race starts at 9:30pm The only rule change for Season 22 is a tidy up of the Warp wording which has been widened to include side by side collisions. Races will continue to start at 9.30pm UK time but, in order to reduce starting glitches and accommodate moderators available time, the Divisional Moderator will have the option to start the server for anything up to an hours Qualification (ie from 8.30pm). Starting issues allowing, servers will start at no later then 9pm UK time. up to an hour qualification + server will start between 8.30pm-no later then 9pm ... my fault ; I missed to study this new rules for this season . ok , that simply means as a driver you have to be ready up from 8.30pm to jump on server , otherwise regular qualifying conditions wont be on his side .. I call that plain bullshit . As well mutating race distance = long ; to something whatever . The Porsche Super Cup is intended to provide a competitive championship using the GT mod but with an emphasis on existing UKGPL teams running together. There will be two grids should enough drivers sign up. [ I am damned bloody sure two days ago it was written 5laps for this race .. ]

Overview:
Race Length: Long The PRO damage model will be used All classified score Reported incidents modded Full moderation of lap one red zone I am pretty sure that couples of days ago this race was still anounced to be 5laps to go thats the stuff able to make my spirit get lost . at least I did have fun practise the ring offline .( pitty did expect PSC to be great fun .. )

Well I'm not the only person that can say this tonight, but I retired from the lead, and I'm bloody annoyed with myself....probably not as annoyed as all those that retired from the lead before I got it :-) I really enjoyed it though, while it lasted. Didn't see many other drivers. Avoided the spill at the first corner, had a bump with... someone on L2 (hope you were able to continue), and then that was it. I forgot to use that utility to adjust how the lap board displays, so I was pretty much in the dark as to who was where. Then I see that some of the front runners have retired, and I'm suddenly fighting Ron Clegg for position (I assume because you had a damaged engine and couldn't go faster!).... I know a reasonable position is on the cards if I can stay on the track. My eyes were going a little squiffy after a hard couple of weeks spent in front of PCs, and I think that's what caused me to lose my braking point, and I got stuck in the ****** bushes at the top of the twisty downhill section. Hey ho. I was trying to get the car out of there when GPL just threw me out. Strange.. in a 67 race last season I spent a couple minutes on top of a Spa fence, and managed to get off it and finish the race. I guess GPL decided I had no chance of that tonight.... Congrats......isn't enough.... Knighthoods to anyone that finished! Arf Looking forward to seeing where I actually finished

Nicky, Sorry that the extra qually is a problem for you but I have to start the servers and I also have to pick up my eleven year old twin girls from Guides at 9pm. Guess who comes first! I do put in about three hours work on race night to sort out the replays, start the servers and import the results so I think I can claim a little latitude! Enjoyed the race even though I was 25% off the pace. Still fun though and nice to pick up some points as people kindly fell off in front.

HTH though I have a feeling its a really dumb suggestion Thanks for the tip Bernie, I'll look into it. Although I think I disabled AVG I still had really bad frame rate problems in the race. In qually had a solid 36fps but at the start of the race I was getting 25fps and it stayed pretty much the same for a whole lap. The car was undrivable with that frame rate and so half way round the second lap I pulled over and dropped out.

I had bad fps problems too... had to turn off all the details and install the original nurby without updates to get any decent fps... still, at the start I had only 11 fps, and then... screenfreese. I was almost about to turn off the pc, when it fixed itself, and I was facing a fence. Hope I didnt make a mess of the start. After that it went rather well with no big mistakes, tho my joymouse emulator blocked for second here and there, preventing me from steering... definetly need to reinstall my windows soon, its behaving worse with every day, I had bad fps at mosport too... Nurby was much more fun tho.

I am pretty sure that couples of days ago this race was still anounced to be 5laps to go even if ; but provisional race calendar clearly shows 7 Laps to go for the Nürburgring event . so again my own fault only .

Nicky, Sorry that the extra qually is a problem for you but I have to start the servers and I also have to pick up my eleven year old twin girls from Guides at 9pm. Guess who comes first! I do put in about three hours work on race night to sort out the replays, start the servers and import the results so I think I can claim a little latitude! Enjoyed the race even though I was 25% off the pace. Still fun though and nice to pick up some points as people kindly fell off in front. A big thank you for your tireless efforts Paul, I for one am certainly in appreciation. I don't see what the issue with having more qual time is...if you don't like spending soo long in qual just join later...that's what I did. As to the race, a somewhat up and down affair for me. 3rd was a lot higher than I expected on the grid, esp given there were plenty of fast types out last night. At the start I could see I'd had a slightly better getaway than someone in front, but not enough to challenge, as I decided to brake early to give room Roberto took the invitation down the inside, I didn't see him until it was too late, turned in and hit him. This sent me into the fence, from where I waited for a clear track to rejoin. However on rejoining to what I thought was a clear track, a load of cars suddenly materialized and I stopped but blocked another driver, sorry to whoever that was. After getting going (probably last) I quickly caught Geoff but then got taken off as he bounced off the fence. Several incidents later I settled into a good rhythm and managed to get past quite a few cars, then when running 5th my engine let go I assume this was from the trips to the fence as I am was pretty safe regarding revving the back oota it. That's racing... Bob. P.S A big thank you to some of the drivers I overtook, especially Martin Hunt who gave me room straight away when I positioned my car for an o/take.
