Although this seems an excellent combination track \ car, Thanks Matt  :thumbup2:
Last night, me and Federico, we did a few laps and excursions in the sand we saw a nest of snakes and a pair of coyotes chasing us curiously  :cowboy:
We hope that in the race do not cross the road  :punk: hihihihiii

Ciaooo

LOL

Excursions into the sand are very easy.

Also, if someone at the back of the pack goes off at speed coming down off the hill, they can land on the leader as he comes out of the Light Bulb!

anyone got a setup that will aid in keeping this car on track for more than 5 secs..c'mon aliens share ur tech know how! or....will nothing help apart from pure skill ( as i'm starting to think ) i've never hit restart in TT so much! just when im starting to get the hang of my wheel PNG comes along and rips my confidence to shreds...even if i dont make the grid i'm defo tuning in to watch this lol!

Be careful where you stand in the dunes, you could get run over!  ::)

I don't expect many finishers but then we need one of these every now and then to keep us on our mettle! 

Actually is keeping our rubber on the track that's tricky!

I'm no alien, but I sent a setup to your e-mail for you to try. Very often, the setups from the fast drivers are no good in the hands of drivers like me.
They seem to call for a more delicate sense of the track/car than i can produce :- ))

I higly recommend you start doing some testing of your own.

Best of luck

Stig

We usually have a few people running over Guiseppe's snake nests, but I'm not aware of this one as a race
of attrition, you have to go well off track to hit anything hard. (Though anything can happen)
You may get cut track warnings if you go too far off track, particularly at where Clive said.

If you are having trouble staying on track Wheels, try making the front harder and the rear softer?

sorry guys dont know where to put the setup files...anyone?

I think it is in User Data/your name/Settings/Track name

I'm away chasing real mustangs this week (can't wait to see them on 52 degree banking!) so will be missing this one, have fun chaps  :)

Install directory\UserData\username\Settings\Track
e.g:

C:\PGv3b\UserData\Phspok\Settings\Bridgehampton

Hi guys, been a while  :)

Dusting off the PC to give this a go tomorrow

Blimey it's a Legend! Welcome home

only folder i have in userdata is log, no settings folder anywhere...put the setup in track folder but not showing up in game...i'm at a loss

Crickey!  :o Where the 'eck have you been hiding the last year or so? Just split up with the missus or something?! Welcome back Purds, shame I'm not here to join you.

@wheels:

All my setups on one of my systems is zipped here: http://www.matt-rowe.co.uk/comp/PGfiles/Settings.zip

Err actually this zip has ony a few setups in it, as it's an old backup, I will add the more complete version later.

Have you created a user in the initial menu of PG? if so
Your directory structure should look something like these shots:

haha hi guys, no the missus is still with me (unfortunately  :P)

my PC went bang with a motherboard failure and I had so much work I thought it best to keep the focus and leave it! I've got a cheapo replacement board yesterday and should have it in by tomorrow! Then I'll get a new rig in the autumn to handle pCars and new gen stuff!!

Where are u then MJ?

@wheels

Are you using win vista, 7 ... if "yes" ...

...is p&g installed in c:program files (or program files x86) and you are not starting game "as administrator" ...

If everything is "yes" than your "user data" folder is not located in game root. It is in c:program data\gtr2 (or p&g3) something like that.

Fastest way would be (i think) to open content ( png3 folder than right button click on gtr2.exe, "compatibility" than, at the bottom check "run this program as administrator" ... after that run the game and create new profile which should be saved in game root ... otherwise you could face privilege problems if you try to change something in profile stored in "program data" ...

...or cut whole p&g3 folder from "program files" and place it somewhere else for example in c root like Matt have than create new profile.

Darn this is faster way ...  ???

Welcome back anyway!  :) now go take a good look at Assetto Corsa vids  ;) it's rather good. P&G still rocks the kasbah for us here too  8)
I'm at Monthlery, south of Paris.

Welcome (back) to you Purdie. Seems we are teammates 8) as i persuaded MJ to take me in as a team mate for GTL and PnG and somehow he said yes. :P Nice to be having a teammie on track tonight!

@MJ  Have fun with the Frenchies

 ??? ??? ??? ???  Never moved an inch at start and got a stop and go,lost all incentive to carry on.

LOL

The handicap system works a treat Matt.  It's just that you are handicapping the wrong bloke!

Victoria Park this Sunday?

Chortle...

I am taking Eric (the 106) up to Kames circuit in Muirkirk south of Glasgow this weekend, narrow little track, but great fun.. Went there last year with the S2000 and had a great time
This time I am up against the 2013 Scottish sprint champion in his Corsa, I won't win, but I might worry him a bit with luck  ;D

Bent the Honda last weekend at 3 Sisters, mostly just panels, but new front wing and drivers door, plus a load of bits, I seem to be making a habit
of bending the poor thing....this is the run before I went off and spun over the finish into the tyre wall.

Looks wider than that from my Rotax.

Anyway, back to Bridgehampton.

I was jogging along nicely in 4th spot (just about keeping frex in sight) when the announcement that Evil had left distracted me as I entered the Spoon Curve.

This ended up with my putting a wheel on the sand and spinning.  That let Stig past and shortly after that Ed started to loom a bit, as he had done earlier in the race.  On that occasion he then vanished but this time he frightened me into an error at T1 and had an easy pass.  Grrrrrr!  When someone comes up behind at a point where passing is tantamount to suicide I never quite know what to expect and the result was that I ran wide at on the exit.

He went on to harass Stig, who I found by the wayside some laps later.  my 4th place was restored when Ed attacked the scenery in the last few laps and retired.

It seems that what I need to keep my bum in a decent car for this series is a nice long DIY project!

That was eventful race but not in a way i would like. Decent start than two contacts in next two corners. Steering wheel was not in centre any more but, other than that, no problems with car ... no incident report because first contact was no damage done and second was unfortunate and driver waited for me to rejoin ...

And than annoying part - every time when i catch someone and even pass him, i made mistake and went for a snake hunt. 
Long time since i had that much unforced errors ...

Last straw was stop and go penalty for cutting track in last lap  ???

Really  :taz:
 
Modest grid last night? Wonder why.

It was really great combo - great job as usual Matt.

@Clive - this is not my first language so I`m having difficulties to understand that part about me - did I do something wrong?
 

An unexpected podium for me but didn't enjoy it much..

An incident up ahead at T2 led to Ed going off and a car slowing to wait, leaving me nowhere to go except into the back of him. Not a good start, although despite the suspension damage it didn't seem to affect the car very much (it continued to handle like the same shed it had been before the contact).

Built up a bit of a gap to Clive/Postal behind, then from lap 5 i slowed to make sure not to bin it. Ed was closing on me in the second half but not fast enough to reach me before the finish, then he went off anyway. Geoff and Federico were miles ahead in front, congrats to them.

Glad to get that one out of the way; bring back the rollerskates for next week.. :D

Absolutely nothing at all mate!  The problem was all mine. 

I had seen you have a good qually and then drop to the back of the field after two corners.  I imagined that you "could" be madder than a rattle snake on a hot tin roof and so I was approaching T1 with one eye in the mirror to see what you were up to.   ;D

You were being very sensible but by the time that I knew this I had already missed my turn-in for T1.  My fault entirely.

Good racing and very good English too.

It might be a good race but unfortunately it was not so  :(
After the start Ed have a problems with another driver at T1 and goes off, I go inside but Ed wants to go back too and we touch lightly on the side...sorry Ed  :oops:
I left everything else but Frex, even if he had the time to brake and change course, comes along with wheels locked and dab violent, irreparably damaging my car  :'(
I tried to make the pit for repair but after a couple of minutes I still decided to retire.

See you at the next race

No problem Giuseppe ... yes I lost momentum after paint exchange with Fede but I thought that I left enough space on the inside.

In normal circumstances it would be enough but not right after start when you just can`t back off because of angry mustangs behind you - recipe for mayhem ...

@Clive

Thank You.
My problem was with word "loom" ... when I stuck with word absent from my vocabulary, I`m brave enough (ok, dumb, naive ...) to use google translator.  :eek:

And translation was ... eeeh ... giving next sentence completely different meaning - similar to problems with connection which I had at the beginnig of the year so sensible thing to do would be to hit "esc" ...

About last sentence - tasted same medicine with Postal behind me. He did nothing wrong except being too close for my comfort.

Always enjoy this track even though it can punish you big time if you stray off the black stuff.

Had a good start & jumped into the lead opening up a couple of seconds on the first lap. Federico had been much quicker in qually & when he got into 2nd place I expected my lead to be short lived. To my surprise I was able to keep the gap pretty constant for the first 10 laps without pushing too hard & risking a big mistake. Unfortunately I then made an error at T1, braking a touch too late & not hard enough & just drifted onto the sand. Somehow I got it back on the track without spinning but my 2s lead was now down to nothing.

Had 3 or 4 laps dicing with Federico for the lead which swapped a couple of times, but my tyres were going off & I could not keep pace with him when he finally got ahead. So had to settle for 2nd.

Congrats to Federico & Frex in 3rd. Looks like I'll be in the slower car next time.  :helpsmilie:
