It's best if you create a standalone GTL install (copy your GTL to a temp folder, rename it e.g. REAL GTL, then copy back to your usual directory. Path the install to the new REAL GTL you have just created).  Install ver 1.0 first then update with the ver 1.3 install. Run the sim and purchase the cars.
We will not be able to use any skin packs with this mod.

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=334;theme=5)

Special Notes: None.

Tony FileFront not working, ??? help please.  :notworthy: Holiday Season, visitors and coach trip before then - really like to get sorted before bank hols.  :thumbup1: Thanks  :rockon:

Bill Thomas, are you sure you don't already have this track installed?

I'll ask for a new download link to be set up anyway.

EDIT: In the meantime this is the track you need http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=3184

New download link provided.

Yes but my fading memory and being Doubting Thomas always like to check download so Windows reminds me its already in my archive of tracks.  ::) Thanks for new link.  :notworthy:

To the top.

Just a heads up. I was practicing today, and I got two cut track warnings without going off the track with any wheels. First was a t3, the second right turn going up hill. The other one was the left hander downhill, just after the chicane. In both cases I went wide, but didn't go off the track with any part of my car.

I recall strange cut messages before with this circuit. Cuts will be off for the race Syd.

Can't make this one unforftunately....HF.

Mmm, don't think I will ever drive that Renault again, its horrible, fast but horrible.

Congrats to all finishers, cya next week.

Replay and results now posted

Started from last place but the Jag was fun here.
Set new PB, glad to improve over 4 seconds - but - in general -
I need more time for private practicing, which is not possible at
the moment  :( .
In lap 9 I crashed and was down to 1 %.
Went to the pits for repair but engine stayed at 1 %, so I tried
how long I could stay on track with that. After 1 1/2 more laps
I was down to 0 % with overheated engine and had to leave.

Grats to the podium and to the winners of the championship
and - most of all - thanks for organizing this one, Tony  :)

 ;D Great last race of the season.  ;D

I managed to just beat Navin in the last lap of quali to get P1 in the high 1.35's.  ;)  Followed by a rubbish start with to much wheel spin I think getting mugged by Navin and Hristo in the Fiat. Passed Hristo in the first few laps then managed to close and pass Navin.  ;D I then pushed to hard trying to get a gap on Navin and went off........And that was it I could never get any where close to him again and by the end he had pulled out a 4 second lead.  :-\..... ;D :laugh: Still it was a great race.

Again a big thank you to Tony for organising yet another cracking championship. It's really nice to win this with such talented opposition. It had an element of choosing the right car for the right track which I liked with a little more thinking involved than out right driving skill so full marks Tony........I'm looking forward to the next Real GTL championship already.  :)

Oh yes and congratulations to Tony for his very nice 2nd place in the championship overall....Consistency wins championships!  ;)

Thanks Tony for this excellent Series, pity I had to miss so many of the races; looking forward to the next Series.  Spoilt for choice of cars but found that the 970 Mini suited me here with it's chuckablity - reminded me of my 997cc (pre BMC 998 cc engine) Mini Cooper.  Spent most of the time flat out; my qualifying time is the fasted I've ever done in a Mini and I've race the standard GTL Mini here many times.

Got left at the start but managed to avoid incidents, Mini's agility. Managed to stay ahead of the cars involved in incidents for a few laps before I ran wide on one of the faster sections losing most of the places I'd gained.  After that had a few battles with a couple of other drivers but when they dropped out I continued in my customary last place where I finished.

I get very envious whenever you mention this Bill  8)

I'm trying to think who won the Team championships in this series as I don't believe it was mentioned.......oh Yes, it was those Kerbcrawlers again  ;) :D

 :jumpjoy: :jumpjoy: :jumpjoy:

Thanks for putting this together Tony. Wish I could have made more races in this series and hope to make up for it next year.

hey Tony,

just to your attention:

there also exists an "EARL-mod" for GTL which contains the GTC-65 class,
also created by nappe1.

Possibly both could be combined for season13 ??

What a great race this was. Even before the start it was like F-1 style qualy as I thought I would be the last one to set a time with seconds to go at the line. Then I saw Mark maybe 3-4 seconds behind and even though I put in my best lap of the day and had current pole Mark grabbed it by about 1/10th of a second!! Good show!! 8) The race went a little better at first with me getting a demon start and then seeing Mark and Hristo battling it out. That did not last and although I was trying to gap Mark he did close down on me and started pushing me harder than I wanted to go so when going downhill into turn 3(Charlies) I went a bit deep and Mark was right on it through to first. I really wasn't happy with the car with full fuel but after a time found a balance and started to copy Marks lines around the track and found some speed. I was able to close down on Mark and put some pressure. Mark was super fast in the first sector of the track but to do this you really had to do that walk a tightrope on the outside of turn 3 to get a good exit and when I saw him just barley drop a couple of wheels I knew the track would suck him in as that's a real bad spot for that. I got through and had maybe a 4 second lead at that point. I knew we were so close in lap time if I could just go at like 95-97% speed that would reduce the chance of an error and hopefully be enough to get to the end in 1st. And at first Mark was closing in at 1/10 -2/10 a lap I would then see a drop of a few 1/10ths and the gap more or less remained the same. In the end it was enough and as usual was a treat to drive at this wonderful track :)

First off a biggest of congrats to Mark for the overall and second div Championship :clap: :thumbup2: :clap:

Then I see a tie for the 1st div Championship between Mark and Goldtop both with 3 wins and 1 second place finish. No other races run in div by either so how do we break the tie?
Either way Congrats to you both Mark and Goldtop :clap: :thumbup2: :thumbup2: :clap:

Grats to big boss Tony for his second overall and third in div 1 Championship  :clap: :thumbup2: :clap:

Grats to Matt for 2nd place in div 2  :clap: :thumbup2: :clap:

Grats as well to Geoffers for his 3rd place in div 2 and the overall Championship :clap: :thumbup2: :clap:

And most of all just a big thank you Tony for putting yet another successful series together :clap: :thumbup1: :clap:
