(2) You will not be able to join the server without the car physics pack and track (see links above).
(3) Drivers are reminded that they must select ISDN as their bandwidth, otherwise the stability of everyone's connection will be reduced.
(4) Please use the Driver Details (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=profile;sa=driver_info) page to ensure that the league management software has your correct GTR2 'Driving Name' (not necessarily the same as your lobby name).

I take it we do not have to take the car we are using in the champ for this one as its a fun race??

Correct.

ok chears see ya there

Umm yeh.

Sorry SRW for the start. Hope I didn't cause any damage.

I lost connection with the server somehow on lap 4 I think.

its ok QS there was no damage. another exciting race, you are always on the limit at brands, no chance for a rest

I had a funny about half way through too. This was my first race since goodness knows when and was well chuffed to be quickest M3 in qually :) Race was going OK but TT was best part of a second a lap quicker than me. Then he seemed to slow down, I guessed to have a race with me as it was just a fun event. TT played with me for several laps, getting to within a couple of secs before dropping back. I had decided to let him through on the last lap if he didn't achieve the feat himself as he was the quickest out there. But the race finished early, around 3 minutes early. So I unexpectedly got the flag before I could let TT passed :(

Anyway back to the funny. About half way through I noticed the gap times went all screwy, and the PD monitor thingy had me in last place. I was expecting to be ejected when suddenly it all came back. No idea what went on there, did you see me disappear at all TT?

Can you do me a favour please Picnic and set the server up for the Ford Fiesta mod on knockhill for Wednesday please.

thanks.

Results and replay (https://replay.simracing.org.uk/) now uploaded.

Just installing some updates and I'll start it for you

Thankyou.

Server back up, I had to install Knockhill as it didn't appear in the track list. Never done the Fiesta mod, tool some while to find that too for the car selection, hopefully I've got it right!

Sorry guys my Net connection has been down all evening. :(

Looks like picnic saved the day again. Thanks mate. :)

Seems to be spot on thanks alot.

Had some time before footy and tried out several GT2s after some time. Decided for RSR though I was a bit quicker with F430 in single. RSR is really stable in dry and you can push while still staying on track. Not so with the fezza... :D Anyways, after pole I decided to push and had several seconds lead though Pete in Apex stayed in similar pace. Was a bit boring so I decided to let Pete by and I was sure Apex can join in a fray of three. :) Not to play with you, Pete, I just wanted some action. :) It didn't go as planned, though. Made several mistakes and Pete's lead extended for some seconds, Apex was close behind. Action indeed. :D Started to close on Pete and in the last 5 minutes I expected to have some close racing when the race ended. :( Why would you wanna let me pass, Pete? ???

There was some comotion, though I had Pete in my sights the whole time. ;) I saw it showed he was 3rd at some point but it was went ok after starting a new lap. :)

GT2s rule. 8) 

I was fully intending to race you and have the best battle we could, but you were the fastest driver and let me past so we could engage in a more engrossing duel. The win was rightfully yours. Shame my plan came unstuck ;)

Don't give a damn about winning, just some fun. :)
