(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules especially the rules about in-game chat messages. (3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here, 2.1 patch from here and enable terrain patch. (4) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page(5) Drivers are reminded that they must select ISDN as their bandwidth, otherwise the stability of every-one's connection will be reduced.(6) Remember that P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function, but our gentleman's agreement is that everyone will stick to a speed limit for the pit-lane of 40mph/60kph (Staying in 1st gear being a decent guide).

Thanks Legzy.
Looks like hours of fun sorting out that little trio.
Think I will try the 914 first, then the 275 and then the L88.

No matter which car turns out to be the better choice, I will run the Ferrari. A US big-block V8 and a Porsche boxer 6 may sound nice for a while, but the sound of an italien fullbread engine will always be on top of my list. I've had the good luck to drive in a 250 GT ( as a passenger ) and even though this was some 35 years ago, I believe I can still remenber the sound ....woaahhhh Great track btw. Stig / Hotkeys

Stig / Hotkeys Great stuff Stig, Circulate the setup to the faithful as soon as you have something. EDIT Left to their own devices, the AI come up with: L88 1:19.2 Ferrari 1:17.3 Porsche 1:16.5 EDIT 2 At 1:17.9 in the 914 but having to suspend developments whilst I replace the upshift microswitch on my DFP. I've tried mapping it through the keyboard but it still gives me a double shift when I least expect it. Nice circuit to drive on. Could do with being flatter!

Ensure USB is plugged into back of computer; not in front, in a monitor or through a USB hub. You need full power or you'll get those pesky double shifts.

Thanks Mike, that's interesting. I think that having to bury myself behind the computer every time I wanted a race would take the shine off it a tad but I shall try next time it goes wrong. I would also be sneezing for about an hour. For now I have replaced the tactile switch on the up-shift paddle and that has cured it. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=4196 KR88V is the one if anyone else has the same problem.

just done some exploratory laps here. Nice track Quite technical with a real variety of corners and some yumps to catch out the unwary ! 1:17.054 in the spunky little 914. Had a 1:16 in me a few times but later errors lost the time. Good fun, should make for a great race. Just make sure you brake early !

Same here Mark. 1:17.015 in the Porsche and about two seconds a lap slower in the L88.

Nice track Think I've tried the 275 before but I can't remember it being that tricky, truly a beast. The L88 is a comfy old hector after that. The 914 has the pace for me and is certainly easier to contain.

LOL You should have watched Ian in his Comfy Old Hector last night. I think he was still sideways as he passed the pit entrance!

Seems a nice curvy track - never saw it. Might take a whirl and see if it takes my interest. MJ, will you drive a porker for a change?
