Is there any chance someone could change the server to dry? as I would'nt mind putting a few laps in but its set to wet/raining.

Ta. ;)

Done.

Tart  :P 

Sorry about that  :-[

Ooooooh!!! might see if I can blow another Bi-Turbo up  ;)

Awww... shame this is the last race, these 40 min sprint races are great!

It's been a bit up & down for me with some super results on one hand but a few disconnects on the other. Best moment of the season, out-qualifying Shark at Estoril  ;D (although he cheated and paid Jonzo to rear-end me into T1 because he knew he wouldn't be able to pass me fairly in the race)

Roll-on a fully skinned S3 Sprint series!

Yep, cant believe it's the end of the season. The racing has been getting steadily closer as the season progresses so cant wait for later, and of course for S3.

You've had more than your fair share of technical troubles during the season Pops, so hopefully your luck will change.
If not we'll have to start calling you Fisi or Kimi  :D

Or use his well known in the NGT Legends paddock name 'p00p'! :D ;) ;D


ROFL! Damn sharks, can never trust them m8! ;) :D

2*Bi-T coming up for Monza then Jam btw. Dunno how u managed to blow it up on Monza? Raced it for 20+ races and never a failure, lol!?

8)

T

Lol, just wanna scare the "NGT Legends paddock name 'p00p'!" outta Pops here again ;D ;D ;D

I don't think a skinned Sprint Season 3 will be very far away!  :)


LMAO!
Shark's are sneaky like that.  8)

Hey Shark, I have photographic proof of Team Shark's underhand tactics, I'll post it after the race!  ;D ;)

Can't wait. I usually follow standard MI6 protocols for not being followed or monitored during a "transaction" so I'd like to see how you got past my security.  :D ;)

Sorry Guys

Couldnt get online - the game wouldnt accept my password at the Muliplayer log in screen!!!!  Strange that, as I was only online 2 nights ago. Tried Re-Registering, Re-booting the game and the pc, nowt worked, so I am sat here totally pissed off. What a waste of time all that practice was.

Anyways, good luck to the K`Crawlers in the Team shootout, and all the best to Mo in the Drivers Championship.

Rob

Gutted for you Rob, I got in ok but only to feck up on first lap. Really angry with myself  >:(, hope I didn't take anyone with me.

 
 :'( :'( Gutted - that was looking like a great race and was really looking forward to a good battle with Leuven for the teamchamp which was looking close.

Unfortunately as soon as I started the formation lap I realised that I had no FF and the steering center point was at 2 o'clock.
Totally impossible to race with and I hope that I didn't get in the way too much on the one lap I did try. So went to pits and plugged in and out the momo only to find that ff was back but I had huge steering lag.

Hope you all have agood season finale.
Bad look too to SBG who was showing great pace - recommend doing waht I'm doing : opening a six pack  :D :'(

I really enjoyed that!

A PB in qualifying put me 6th where I finished in the race, very happy with that :)

Had a titanic struggle trying to stay with Truetom for the entire race, don't think there was more that 50m between us the whole time, great fun :)

Have to apologise for scaring the crap out of you Truetom when I locked up on the start/finish :-[ Glad it didn't spoil things, tried to give you plenty of room after that as I realised there was no way I was going to pass you without a serious mistake on your part :)

Kicking myself for the one mistake that let Shark through... stupid, stupid, stooopid! >:( :D

Awesome season guys, I hope everyone is back for NGT S3 (except Mo & Leuven, you are just waaay too fast! ;))

Pops.

Unlucky mo, wondered what happened as It looked like you had some damage or similar from your speed.
I was looking forward to a grweat scrap too.  :'(

I had an uneventfull race really, maybe because I was sensible and not trying to break the lap records this time ::).
Well it paid off and I got the trophy from the top step with Rich also on podium, a good weekend for CBFR :D

EDIT: didnt realsie it was another 1-2 for us Rich  8)

Replay (http://www.ukgtr.org/replay/Monza%20-%20NGT%20Sprint%20S2%20140306.zip) and provisional results are up.

That was my best GTR race ever tbh. Really close with PaulW for most of it but we both had our fair share of trouble.
Started 15th, got to 8th and finished 12th. Not great, but the actual racing was fantastic.

Sorry for the other Kerbies....perhaps my pressure (http://www.kerbcrawlers.net) put you off a bit.  ;)

Sorry to hear that Rob. Bummer Mo. I had the same in practice. First I had no controls I had to exit plug in Momo again and come back into game, then I had no force feedback, rectified with ff change in options in practice1. After that it was fine.

As expected I qualified well down in 10th in the Morgan, 0.4 off my Morgan PB, but that would have only gained me one more place. Luckily for me what I've found with the Morgan is that it doesn't really have much extra qualifying pace anyway, so I wasn't going to be far off that for race pace. Sure enough, my race pace evened me out a little with the opposition.

I took Tyf on lap 1 in his BiTurbo after he made a little error, gained a place as SBG went out and then as Mo exited with his troubles. I then pressured Jan in his F360 into making him make a mistake into the chicane before the Lesmos, which allowed me to gain another place. Then I clawed my way up to Pops and Truetom. I was pushing very hard to try and catch Pops slipstream and eventually I did. I was making most of my time on these guys into all the braking areas so knew if I could just get enough slipstream to get along side I had a chance of outbraking. Pops didn't give me the chance as he unfortunately made a mistake and I was through on him which left Truetom. To my amazement I just had the legs on Truetom and eventually outbraked him into Parabolica after wringing the Morgan's neck for all it was worth in TTs slipstream to pull along side.

10th to 4th was a great result for me. Really didn't expect to be top 5 in the Morgan at Monza, it's probably it's worst track of the season.

Rounded off another good season of UKGTR. I enjoyed taking the Morgan this season it was something different to spice up the grid and push me to drive hard. Hopefully some more of the fast guys will take slower cars next season to give even more great racing. I might take the Mosler next time, but I might take my bogie car the 911 as I hate it, so should be a great challenge as I just can't for the life of me work out how to set the damn things up.

Well done to Mo on his championship win, as well as TrueTom for 2nd and Rich for 3rd and CBFR for the team championship!

Nice to see a good turnout at the last race and well done to everyone who has taken part this season. See you soon for Season 3!

Well done Leuven, great pace. 8)

Top drive for 6th too pops 8)

I had a horrible time in that race :( Qualied about 12th with a 1:53.2, well off my PB. Race started fine, had a few good scraps for a few laps and a good battle with team mate Don until we had a coming together side by side into the first chicane. Think it was mainly my fault but will need to see the replay as i reckon he gave me a bit of a 'Heidfeld squeeze' ;) onto the grasscrete.
On the very next turn i got royally smashed up the arse yet again ::) (lost count how many times thats happened to me this season :-\) and punted deep into the gravel where i re-joined very last...again. >:(
Then spent rest of race overtaking alot of people upto 12th & 13th and with about 7 mins remaining the car broke away from me in the 2nd Lesbos? 3rd gear right hander and i lost about 15 seconds and any chance of climbing higher :'(
A crappy end to a good fun season, finishing a lowly 14th here. :(

Its been a great championship with plenty of good times, mixed with bad luck. My garage is now fresh out of rear bumpers :P

Cheers to Dave and Picnic and the mods for all the organising, top work  8)  Congrats to the champions :-*

balls, i never even relised there was a race on  :(. 

Lousy race for me personally. But it's been a great season (learned loads). Thanks to all the mods and other drivers.

Think I'll skip my usual rant and just agree with this :)

Can I?

Will I?

Uuuh.

Yes!

8)

T

P.S. A bit of ranting never hurts ;) :D :P

Very intense race for me and I enjoyed the 10 minute threesome with Greg and Wilier!! Aside form the last 5 minutes I was either fighting to overtake or fighting to defend my position- very exciting :)

Pleased with a 7th overall, especially given I had to miss a couple of races, though admittedly it's unlikely I'd have made up the gap to 6th anyway. I think that may be my last GTR drive for a good while as I feel I need a break from the old girl in favour of GTL for a bit which I'm enjoying more at the moment. I'll return to GTR2 all refreshed and eager no doubt :)

Big and sincere thanks to the whole simracing crew for running such an excellent series O0

 :o didnt realise that  8)  ;D

Winning constructors and coming third in drivers has made my day. Great job Leuven.. but where was the victory lap back to pit, maybe you wanted to check tyre temps. Damn we must do team speak or something, then could have planned victory lap for photographers. :) Great drive btw Leuv, strong second half of season for us.

Grats to Mo on winning drivers championship and Truetom for second. Close in constructors but two lots of maximum points snatched it away from Kerb Krawlers, great stuff. Look forward to defending that in season 3. 


If it says incorrect username/password look in .plr and under multiplayer options there is line ..

Lobby Login Timeout="20" // Time allowed (in seconds) before Login to the internet lobby will timeout - default is 20, try 50 or 60. Sometimes backup lobby needs more time to connect to it than main.

And for you guys loosing FFB and strangeness with Logitech, I had this exact same thing where FFB would go funny and numb. It's caused by Logitech Wingman, it has some bugs for sure. I stopped using it last couple of weeks and haven't had any problems. Really all Profiler is good for is, keystroke delays. All other settings aren't really needed.. look here at bottom I explain how to use program I found for keystroke delays https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=1146.0

Profiler is terrible, i'll be uninstalling it at some point.  ::)

Yeah, Pops, it was close!  :D

I was watching you come on the straight and I saw you were faster there. I didn't wanna make a late braking just for this case. If both of us would be late on braking then we would surely crash. So I just let you by - great recover, by the way. I was hoping (not really, just to make a bigger gap) the sand's gonna hold ya, but you flew right over. Bags! I had to sweat some more. I'm glad you weren't pushy like I was in Anderstorp (sorry again, Greg  :-\ ). I had to keep a place, 'cause Rich was chasing me in the championship, so I would have fought back.  :wetfish:

Shark, you were faster throughout the track so I couldn't hold you. Maybe I could make you sweat but it would be dangerous so I didn't. I knew I could hold Pops easier than you. No offense, Pops, Shark is just more pushy.  ;D

Glad I could hold onto 2nd place in the championship, though in the end Rich would deserve it more. Maybe next season, eh?

Good race, I needed to finish after several previous races where I quit before end due to my own mistakes.  

Heheh! No offence taken ;) Shark was flying in that Morgan!

After my little lock-up I was more concerned about making sure I didn't screw up and lose 6th place so I didn't try to push you, just stay close enough to capitalise if you made a mistake. I think there was about 0.7s between us at the finish which is the closest one I've been involved in ;D

Calmed down a bit now. Congrats to the Mighty Mo and CBFR on well earned titles. And thanks to Mo (in moderator mode), Picnic, Dave etc for putting on another entertaining season  ;D.


Quados to you Shark, must have been so tempting to take 360 last night. Your choice definitely added something to season for everyone, and made pops day at Estoril  ;), if more did the same I am sure S3 would be even better. See you all there.

Absolutely. It's great for us mere mortals to be able to mix it up with the big boys for a while. After only just one year of GTR, we're finally getting the hang of it :D

And thanks to everyong involved in organising and moderating the races - much appreciated  :-*

After a nights sleep the frustrations have virtually dissappeared, so it is correct to congratulate the winners, Mo, and Team CBFR - well done guys.

Also BIG thanks to Dave, all the mods and the organisers for putting this together and keeping it stuck together with very strong glue throughout the season.

Cheers guys, roll on S3.

Cheers

Rob

Absolutely true, Pops. You've grown into something to consider over the last season - top 5 most of the second half.  :)
Seems like we'll be close racing some more in the next season. I'm looking forward to it. Big boys, watch out!  :o

Actually I gave up with the Profiler when I installed my new PC and I still get problems.  :-\
PCs are just huge piles of shite really and there is bugger all we can do about it.  :)

PC's do what they're told, only very difficult to pin down causes.

One thing to try is using the regular USB slots on mobo rather than any addon USB2.0 devices. Another one is to enable the centering spring in Properties but have it on 0% - this also improves feel of FFB I think. It's possible some other process causing conflict perhaps, how many services you have running after reboot. I have 21..

Will have think some more but it should be fixable unless wheel is faulty.

Thanks.

Actually no not tempting at all. I vowed to take the Morgan all season so I didn't have a choice.  :) I was running 3 on the rear wing mind you to get more speed on the straights!

Now I've done a whole season in the Morgan, I shall be putting all those setups into a zip file and making them available on the Team Shark website. So if anyone else wants to try the Morgan there is a good set of setups to use.

I've never had any real problem with it - occaisionally it doesn't notice that a particular game has started but other than that I never seem to have any problems with it.

Now that Apple are making Intel based machines we need to persuade SimBin et al to start porting these games over to MacOS/X. ;)

Don't let Fozz see that opinion Dave ;)

It is amazing they work at all really given the number of configurations/installations they can have. Even though it's the most expensive way to get a gaming fix though I'm totally hooked- don't care if I never pick up another joypad again  ;)

Congratulations to Mo & CBFR for winning the driver & team championships. The driving standards are getting better all the time, it's getting really tough in the midfield now.

Gotta agree there. At the moment I even refuse to buy new stuff for it, just waiting for the old to die! Grrr! LOL!

And if PCs would do what they are told, then why the heck do I need to 'right click and save as...' on every pr0n link on the internet all the time!?

 :D :D :D :o :o :o ::) 8) :-*

Hi Sorry I did not turn up with out warning .Woman trouble I am afraid will just have to play things by ear for a while.cheers gerald

Cheers for the congrats guys ...to have won the championship is something I would never have guessed 5 months ago.
It's been a long season since October and a real education for me in what in means to race a whole championship and to try to make every round count (which I didn't do).

Congrats to CBFR on the championship and also to the mighty Penguins on well earned second spot.
Congrats also to the Kerbcrawlers for 3rd place and for the great KC turnout for the final race.

It was my first season as moderator and I have to congrat everyone on the high standard of driving we now see every week.
Keep it up guys....less work for me ;)
With the current competitive pace throughout the field it looks like everyone has turned pro so should make for a brilliant season 3 :)


Thanks to all the admins who make the racing happen, and look forward to racing you all in S3.
Mo.

>:(  I know the results of every GTR Race this season, it's not right and it's definitely not good
  for this sites championships, it will kill it.  :'(    down with pure domination!! >:(

Whoah! Steady on there old bean!

I think you might have to explain those comments a little  :-\

From my side, I must say that I improved my racing because I had to struggle. I raced a few races in another league. In NGT I was faster by two seconds per lap. It was boring, though the atmosfere was good there, too, very friendly. I prefer racing here, when you try, you get better. I won only one race here and I'm all the more proud of it.

P.S. If Leuven had a more aggresive personality I wouldn't have won that one, either.  ::)

Yes, as always the answer is in Nostradamus.

You do? Excellent! Let us know and it'll save us the bother of actually having to run the races. :P


Bring out the gimp! :P

Lol, it must be full moon!  ::)

He'll calm down in a few days.  :)

Calm down, Scott!  :-*

Wasn't he the same bloke that predicted armageddon in 1999?

What? Aagramn predicted armagegeddon in 1999?

That's pretty impressive, it was actually released (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120591/) in 1998!

OK, I was one year out, but I was right about Bruce Willis' performance being more wooden than HMS Victory.

Mmmmmm- Liv Tyler.


Sorry, what were we talking about?

I prefer Erika Eleniak (Under Siege 1)  :o

Oh lordy, I forsee another one of Tyf's 'image directory dumps' on the horizon!

Not enough pics, Popa!  ;D

I'm sure Tyf will rectify that situation very shortly!

She's too old for him.  :P

Lol, from what I've heard "age has no bounds"   ;D :) ;)

Lol thought for a moment he was gonna say Erika Rowe

Is that the one where she was dressed as a cake one moment, and the next she... wasn't?

That's the one. Quite a memorable scene.  8)

Or was it mamorable?

Uuuh, don't tempt me? ;) :D :)

GIMMIE !  ;D

She does seem to have had a problem keeping her clothes on, lol! But let's hope she doesn't have it still, cause to me these pics look like they were made in the days Madonna had her first single out... And we all know how she looks now! Keeps reminding me of a grandma in those panties and with those superman undies! LOOOL!
