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.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.
(4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R;group=330;theme=5)

Special Notes: None

Bump for the next race.

Something is very wrong here, I see Tony is on the server in the lobby...but when I'm inside, no Tony  ???

I want to excuse me with Goldtop for the incident, but before the braking you were defending the inside line, then you came back on the outside, just before the braking... it's impossible to avoid an incident if you change the line just before the braking. What could I do?  ???

However it was funny 'til it last, than I hit the wall, and my engine exploded around lap 15. Nice duel with every driver on track, but the lack of training was surely the main cause of my mistakes here and there.

Cu :)

And I was on my own wondering where everyone was?  ;D

Results and Replay now posted.

Sorry for the Mustang/Boss 302 mix up. I'll see if I can get that sorted.

Fantastic turnout, Thanks guys.

My return from exile and what a race it was to come back to. Lost count of the number of battles I was involved in...and the number of times I spun  ::) Good fun.

Yes that was a bit of a numpty move by me Manteos  :-[  I thought i had enough time to come back on line to brake and take the corner, but I realised when you hit me it was because I'd left my move a bit too late.


Grats to Berger and the podies and thanks all for the fun.

hello i have qustion.

i think there are 4 different cars, but i see in race result 5 different cars, i see FORD MUSTANG and SHELBY BOSS, is this 2 different cars???

Big grats to Berger, fantastic run  :thumbup1: ...but TEAM-GTLDK with 2 on the podium :thumbup2: Thx to you all in our Team  :thumbup1:

Perhaps the wildest or craziest race I've run (I'm hopeless at Porsche) & I would like to see the replay, because I can't remember everything that happened  ;D
Can see I'm not the only one who can't see the replay & has therefore made ​​this Report (http://gt-legends.eu/UKGTL/Report/GT_Cup_76/AnderstorpGP/index.html)
Thank you all for good entertainment  :wacko:

Holy Moly that was fun!!..  I was 3rd!! :) Then I was last!! :( Then worked hard back up to 3rd :) Then was 5th :-\  Then 2 corners to go and I was in 8th  :-[ :laugh:.. That about sums it up. OMG that 911 is nutty about swapping ends!!!  It's like they put the engine in the back :P. But seriously that was the most fun so far this year. Great to go to a track that we all know and I think we all like. The great turnout showed that. Lots and lots of dicing and everyone played fair so it was pleasure to race no matter the finish. Good show all around 8). Congrats to Berger who showed us the way to 1st. And also a very big Congrats to Jose for a solid and well deserved 2nd place. Great to see you getting faster and faster!! And Pelle. Wow, that many spins and still 3rd place!!! ;) Good job fellas

Thanks Tony for the track/cars combo.  :thumbup1: Had planned to race the BMW 2002TiiS, had a time of 1:47.3 offline and a whole series of fast laps.  :thumbup2:  However last night my driving was absolute rubbish - only had a handful of practice laps completed spent too much time off the track.  ::) ??? :surrender: In desperation, just before end of practice, changed to the Escort 2000RS. it was better but slower.  Decided to go with it and managed to finish the race but still had too many offs and too much time having a disco off track.  :hammer:

Still one advantage of lousy weather is time to practice for Thursday's race.  :thumbup1: :rockon:

Assuming that i wouldn't finish in better position than my fantastic team mates, i decided to go with the Mustang. Even when it's one of the most docile V8's on track, fun is guaranteed  ;)

Considering i was 3-4 secs. slower than Mark's Mustang i just tried to keep my ass on the track, which gave me nice fights in the back group  :thumbup1: from behind i was also spectator of 'The Dance of the 911's'  ;D

Thanks for fun ladies! looking forward to next race! :shifty:

Shelby/Mustang mix up in results now sorted.

 :-[  The replay does not seem to be working. OR is it my GTL?

 :) This is not my favorite track but I thought it might suit the Boss as the corners are banked in places and whoow that long straight.  ;D

Qualified P8......but best Stang!  ;)

I new I had a chance at chewing up some Germanic metal off the start with the big V8 grunt down the straight and it worked , but was pleasantly surprised when some went off and I ended up P3 and then P2.  ;D ;D ;D ;D Even more surprised to hold on to P2 for twelve laps before being caught by Senyorlobo in the first of the many flying Porsche's. Held on to third until lap 23  ;D when my left front tyre entered the red zone. I knew tyres would be the down fall of the V8 beast and the left was really on the canvas by the end but the Porsche boys just kept falling off and most found it very hard to pass the Boss even in the corners and it has so much grunt down the straights I just love it.  ;D Its so entertaining to have a Porsche full on in your mirror at T1 and then watch it disappear into the distance then brake late and dare them to try a pass into T2!!  ;D If my tyre had held out I think I could have finished P3 but still very satisfied with P5 with some really entertaining racing from start to finish. A truly excellent race Tony many thanks.  :)

Congrats to Berger, Senyorlobo and Pelle you all worked hard for your Champers well done.  ;)

Both Pelle and I have found the same thing. No replay  >:(

I was surprised with the 2 nd place.
I can get a good start and had free way to try catch Berger.
On the third lap I made a mistake and lost 2 or 3 positions.

I had a big fight with M Cinderby for second place.
Fortunately when I got to pass, early I got advantage and had a comfortable race to the end.

Thank you all for your comments.

And Grats Berger for the 1st place and Pelle for the 3rd position. Good points for our GTLDK team.  :thumbup1:

See you !!!

Cheers!
