Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/), 2.1 patch from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/) and enable terrain patch.
(4) P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function. You may go as fast as you like in the pits, but please exercise caution. Penalties will be handed out for causing contact in the pit lane. Use your best judgement when making your pitstop during the race.

Hope to make this one.

Did a race at Road America at GC's MuscleCarLeague some time ago, like the track,
but GC's MuscleCars have a complete different handling than the P&G cars  ::)  ;)

Just learned that I'm in a surprising 7th position in championship   :eek: so no great car choices for me  :whistling:

I've had no time to learn this circuit so tonights praccy will be crucial. Hope P&G lets me in this week.

I won't be able to make this race; the wheather in CPH this thursday is just too damned nice to be sittin' inside. I

........................... and if i should make it back form the café's in time for the race, I'll have had to much to drink anyway :- ))

Stig

Oh Dear!

It's you and me against the world then Kurt!

Replay and results posted

Small grid tonight but I think everyone had a good race? I had a huge lead over Eifel but my mistakes allowed him to close on me. We had a good couple of laps battling each other. Eifel passed me and I span cos of a kerb? THis gave Eifel a 14sec lead but I reckoned I had time to close and challenge him. Then on the very next lap I span again when riding the very same kerb! That's when I quit out.

LOL

I did spot some very strange tyre marks during the course of the race.

The second corner was hilarious!  I out braked myself and ran wide and was busy cursing my own stupidity when I looked in the mirror to see that everybody else was on the grass as well!

Matt soon caught and passed me and I spent the rest of the race with my chin on the tank hallucinating that I could see Matt in a sand trap ahead!  Sadly they all turned out to be something else.

When Matt passed me, he was able to do it very easily because I hadn't realised that his Mustang was fitted with brakes!!!!

Grats to Matt and well done to Alex on a good drive.

No time for practicing and no suitable setup - but much better than expected  :)

Some nice laps with Tony. After he quit I lost control over the game due to a well known forced
software update (forgot to disable that function when I reinstalled my PC  ::) ) just before Turn 5
but obviously found an abbreviation without crashing because I ended up just before the bridge
at Turn 13  ??? when I regained control  ;D .

I completed the lap which unfortunately didn't count
so I would have turned around the complete course one more time. That let me loose motivation
and I destroyed the car intentionally and left the game  8) .

Like this track!

Cu next week, guys.

:D Must have been silly looking from the outside the track. All caught out by heavy fuelloads and cold tyres I guess. I made the rookie mistake to look at your car instead of the track  :P
Your plan almost worked there, WT!

Track was really technical, perhaps more suitable for European style race cars. Can't imagine they run Nascar on this track....
I was struggling with the braking points because  I had to brake sooooo early to make the sharp corners. Caught me out one or twice.

Thanks but must admit I was helped by the fact that I could choose the Mann and let loose the horses on the straights.
Had some idle hopes I could follow you around but to was not to be.
Congrats to Matt for victory and pody....hey, that includes me!  ;D 

Now where did I leave that bottle of Champagne?

You can tell when there is something wrong at UKGTL when I win two races in a row......  :o

Was a good track and fun cars, I know the track fairly well from UKGTR2 races, and ICR2 err and NASCAR2 etc
Languishing down in 9th in the championship I could take the BSCC so did, and it was a bit unfair
Clive did some storming laps in Qual, I ran qual with race fuel as usual and managed to just get pole
When CLive went off into T2 I (not making this up honest your honour) went wide to wait for him to
get back on, didn;t want to pass so early in the race because someone fell off, and then got thumped
by someone while I tried to stay out of the way  :o No matter, rejoined last I think then passed people as they fell
off, caught Clive and made a pass into the tight left before carousel, can't remember the brakes on the NTK
but mine seemed better  :D was concerned that I might run wide and shove Clive, but he gave room
and I stayed tight enough so it worked well.

Where was everyone? it's a longggggg track for only 5 people. ???

Just think what a shock it was for me!!!!
