I'll put my usual pratice room up about 7pm. Name is UKGTR plz select ISDN and password is usual uk*****ac .. 1m25.8 is my PB so wonder if I can find 0.5 for a new lap record currently held by Mark Harrison [no where to be seen these days!!]. I doubt it cause my F550 doesn't go round those cambered turns to well!!
Catch you later..

We still run on 1.4 I'm afraid so you'll need 1.4 to connect.
1.5 does nothing but remove server features and not fix anything so we're not using it.

F**king Game!!!! Span off @ second corner first lap, couldn't get any traction and then when I did I had to go right to rejoin. Game decided to put me down by 1 Lap, I was passing people that according to the game were a lap ahead of me. Decided I was fighting a losing battle and quit. shark could you have a look into this for me

Wow what a tough ( but enjoyeable) race. Congrats to JonM - cmon man we've been waiting years for you to make a mistake and let us past Seriously good pace though - myself and Rich had it tough trying to stay with you in the 550s. Had an early scrap with Greg for 3rd and I just nipped past into Gislaved when Greg had a bit of wheel spin at the previous corner. I found it really hard to catch Rich and Jon without cooking the tyres but slowly I was gaining until in the end I took too much kerb into Gislaved and spun, which dropped me back 15 secs. Rich then had his spin and I inherited 2nd place - hard luck Rich (thats twice in two days!) I really like this track and its one of the few that seem to suit the f550.

Very unspectacular 10thish in qualify, kept up with Tyf and TT for a few laps, then had a minor off and scrabbled back on track before Enz caught up. After that it was fighting all the time, first with Enz till he fell off, then an epic battle with M Jonzo. I don't think I had any grip round the banking leaving me way open down the runway, I'm sure M Jonzo got his nose past mine a few times but I just broke as late as I dared and turned in somehow I pulled it off every time :-) Got to 2:45 on the clock then the back end just went in T1, it was still driveable afterward but the car changed all its characteristics in an instant, scrabbled back on track with two places lost and drove as quick as I dared for the last few laps, catching the guy infront pretty quickly, but just not enough time, came back in a 10th in the end.
Gutted about the result, but I'm hardly going to be challenging for the sprint championship and I had a great race, so I'm not too pissed off.
Thanks guys
Fozz

Didn't think I'd put the times I did in qually, Hadn't had any practice for this one up until 30mins before start on race so was well pleased with equalling PB Just took it easy in race and tried to conserve tyres...It worked Dunno what happened to Rich, he was keeping the gap down all throughout the race and then must of had an off right near the end, Unlucky mate Might be my last GT sprint race this season as I should be moving house shortly, got to cancel broadband this week Maybe those GTL challenges will come in handy after all Hopefully we'll be moved in about 3 weeks so I'll probably be busy until then. That might leave someone just enough time to snatch the championship Nice race all Thanks for the host Picnic

oh lordy, sorry Picnic i wasnt having a dig, i was just asking in case it was my connection not seeing the game in lobby....i'm gonna get me coat Great race tonight, really enjoyed myself. Qualied 8th which i was reasonably pleased with despite being a second+ off my PB, keeping tight with Aagramm who was on the same 1000th of a second until late in session. Race started good, dicing with aagram and looking forward to a close race with him and Tyf behind me, swapping places on the first lap a couple of times, then had annoying slow speed spin on cold front meds and dropped to about 13th...D'oh! Got back racing and screamed past a few cars until i got upto 9th behind Fozz, then had one of my most enjoyable nose to tail battles in GTR for about 30 minutes of the race glued to Fozz's rear bumper, always being within 0.3 to 0.5 of a second of him and often alongside or nose in front down the straight. Excellent stuff and Edza was lurking within a sec too until he span off. Eventually i lost the front end grip coming out of turn 3 and he was allowed to gallop away and i lost a place to Flybri. But still pushed hard and got back past the pair of them as they both individually lost it (on worn tyres i think) near the end and i brought it home in 8th or 9th. Great fun...that was a scream Fozz, i dont know how you withstood that pressure for all those laps, i was sure you would make a mistake. And i nearly hit your rear more than once in the braking zones...phew, cant wait to watch the replay. My car seemed quicker than you but i just couldnt find a way past and you out-ballsed me a few times braking into turn 1 at the end of the runway straight Excellent. ps well done to JonM who had his spaceship well tuned this eve
