Well, I was a numpty in the first race and joined with a Lola with 2 mins to go. Thinking, I know the car... but I use default tweaked.. should have used Cooper as well. Didn't realise the car was a lot quicker than the others, and remembered the wingless 69x but thought the F2s were all the same (apart from the slow ones) ::)

So I used it in the 2nd race and was too slow, but it was hella fun as the wingless 69x's are  :laugh:

Tough round.  The Cooper wasn't really working right for me.  And I got a screen freeze in qualifying for the 69's, and lost a lot of time restarting.  Well done to Axel and Dave for their wins.

Great fights in both races for me, in F2's with Iestyn in his Lola  ::) and in 69X with Mark's Lotus 63 who was all over me...

For this Friday I would love to give the GT and CanAm's the proper Le Mans track for the real fun.

What do you think?

Thanks Axel I try to D/L that but when I did AVG comes up with virus detection threat : Adware DomalQ.EJ not sure if this will do any harm or not but don't want to risk upsetting my precious GPL PC  :-\

Bernie I usually trust downloads of SourceForge.net

I have no idea if AVG has a problem, my avira has no problem with the file ::)

7-zip is a well known program and very trustful imo.

Bernie - just to echo/copy Cookie.

I had an older version of 7-Zip,  but have just downloaded the latest [32-bit x86 .exe] from: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z920.exe

I have AVG,  and that did not pick up anything untoward for me.

 AVG version: 2014.0.4592
 Virus database: 3955/7587 (29 MAY 2014 21:18)
 Linkscanner: 2282


Cheers,
Dave.

been there Axel but it wants to unzip to the same "downloads"  file  ???

how do I get it to GPL replay ? there's a box for "full path mode" and some other box's I dont understand .

(suffering from GPL cock up nuerosis )

all I want is to check the replay of laP 1 T1 incedent and another incedent later on the same lap btw me and dave not sure who was to blame but think I will just leave this to the mods and let them decide .

Yes, unzip to the same "downloads"  folder and right click on the .rpy file -> copy

Then open the GPL\replays folder and right click -> paste in it

With Iestyn's DQ in race 1, shouldn't I get fast lap credit?

Fastest laps and records are not under our control - code is all on the SROU servers.
