Nappe1 is organising a new GTL championship based on the 1965 European Touring Car season. All SROUK GTL drivers are welcome to take part. All events are on Wednesday evenings & are scheduled to take place around the same date as the original real races took place. This means that the first race is in a couple of weeks time, but the next race won't be until June.

Hope to see some of you there.  :thumbup1:

I was going to do something quite similar next year  :(

For those interested, the car pack is now available to download.

http://downloads.gamers-crib.com/Sim%20Racing/GTL/Cars/vettc1965_carpack.rar

If anyone has problems with the Cortina GT crashing the game, this is what you need to do:

1/ Set player car detail to 'high' or 'full' in Video options.

2/ Tick high detail wheels in Advanced options.

Should work fine then.

Test races this Wednesday (March 2nd) are at Goodwood & Oulton Park.

I'll be there  ;) 

Still sick, but at least the fever is gone - so I hope it'll work for 12 laps at Goodwood.

Good man. That's what I like to see, dedication to the cause!  :notworthy:

Well,.....................I tried,..........................and I tried...........................and I tried again,......................and again..........and again to join in the fun.
but each time GTL crashed  :( :( :(

I changed the settings for the cars to Full, and wheel detail to max, as mentioned on the forum, but no joy.  I tried joining with different cars from the Fiat Abarth to the Ford Falcon......without success.

I found that I could not even run these cars offline?? suggestions on a postcard without sharp corners to:-
 Padded cell 13,
The Simracers Recovery Home for the Terminally Addicted
 Goodwood
 Sussex

Sounds like an installation problem Clive. If I remember correctly the download contains a main file called 'Gamedata'. You need to put that main file directly into the GTL install you are using & let it overwrite the existing files (it actually won't overwrite anything, just add the new car files). All the relevant car files will automatically go in the right place. If that doesn't work, I'm stumped!

PS: If it still doesn't work, try removing the Cortina GT & try again.

I tried to install the pack in with my GC--GTC65 mod cars and it crashed all the time even with the video to full on everything.  Solved the problem by using a new clean Gamedata, no problems now.  My guess is that some mod cars are not compatable.  The suspect to me may be the GTC Jag-Th or maybe the 66 Cortina that they use.

First race is at Monza this Wednesday March 16th. Full details here:

Note, I think the race start time in the post is incorrect, it should be 20:00 GMT

After a long wait it is time for the 2nd event of this series. This one is a hillclimb, Col de la Broue, it is quite long & will probably be impossible to fully learn in a week, so should be quite a challenge!

Full details here:

Please note that there is an update to the car pack that you will need to install before this event.

Bit of a misnomer as most of it down hill, lots of 1st and 2nd gear corners and a bit like driving a rally stage with no co-driver - need to be able to read it as you go. Case of remembering the places where an off is deadly!

Race 3 of the ETCC65 series takes us to the Nurburgring for 14 laps of the Nordschleife on June 15th.

14 LAPS  :o

Blimey

Yea, looks like a full fuel stop plus a splash and dash for the the Mini 970 S.  ??? A real Endro, some of us will need a comfort break during a Pitstop!  :wheelchair: :rockon:

Yes, at around 10mins per lap that's well over 2 hours racing!  :eek:

You're very welcome to join in the fun Tony.

Come and join us, Come and join us, Come and join us :angel-wings: :clap:

I really would like to join you - but I'm still on my holidays  8)

We'll all need a holiday after 14 laps of the Nordschliefe!

I won't be home for this as myself and Mrs Wiltshire will be in Darkest Kent, staying at a big cat sanctuary  :taz:. Hopefully I'll be back with the same no. of fingers as when I left  :-\

Server is up for practice.

This is an excellent Series and leads to some close racing.  Geoffers and Dominik's race with Geoffers falcon Sprint and Abarth 1000 TC was a classical small agile car V a more powerful large car race and watching the duel, first in my mirrors as they caught up with me to lap me and chasing them until they were out of sight was brilliant driving  :thumbup1: - well done Geoffers  just wish I could give you stronger support for our team!  :notworthy:

Next race is in fact a hill clime on 27 July.

Round 5 of the 65 ETCC series is coming up on Wednesday July 27th. This is the second hillclimb event of the series at the Austrian venue of Tauplitzalm.

Stop press: Look out for new winter series coming soon!  ;D

Assume it will take place on a Wednesday still.

It's curry and beer night at the Maison Wiltshire on Wednesday nights so I won't be attending  :(

With the bowls season just finished my Wednesday evenings have just become available, other than the 1st Wednesday of each month which is Toy planes club night so I hope to make a fair few of the winter season races.

TTFN
John.

Yes it will be Wednesdays, every 2 weeks.
