Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: Best to have Countdown switched on.

Hi Tony, downloaded this track and installed it a couple of times but can't see it in the list of available tracks. Is it me or is it under a different name? ???

I just checked the installer and it may be putting an unwanted "GTL" after the specified destination. Check your install for a rogue GTL folder then you will find a folder called Raleigh which you can cut and paste to the correct location e.g. in Locations folder. You can then delete the unwanted GTL folder.

Hi Tony have installed  1969 Boss 302 Mustang, it shows in team select and i can select it and watch it spin, when track has loaded no Mustang car but get the Lola, any help appreciated ?

First off we should check if it's installed in the right place which should be

GameData/Teams/GTC-TC-76 with a folder called 1969 Boss302 Mustang.

Hi .. yes in right place

I recall someone else had a similar problem like this, I think it may of been Matt? Maybe he can throw some light on the problem and how he fixed it. In the meantime please delete and re-install. Can you tell me where the Lola is installed e.g. it's folder location?

Thanks Tony with have a look later when I get on my PC. ;D

Thanks for the hint concerning Raleigh, Bill and Tony - working now.
No problems concerning the Boss - nice drive at RoadAtlanta.

This one will be a kicking out program ?  ;D

Not sure what you mean  :-\

It's the "Figure 8" version of the track (with crossing). I can remember that we had a crashing out fun event over at GTLDK years ago. ;D

Ah, yes now I understand you. There may be one or two accidental collisions................

Hi Tony ... Lola is in Teams Extracars, strange on track the ai are able to use the Boss 302 Mustang.

What would happen if you deleted (or moved) the Lola folder?

Hi moved Lola out of GTL, on track now get Porsche 917k.

Fresh install of GTL may be required because something screwy is going on.

Hi Tony ... did as you said, copied my clean basic steam GTL, installed the Boss mustang and it works. Thank You

Trying things this works as well, in my used install of GTL  created new player and found the Boss mustang works, only problem you lose your game settings and car setups.

Thanks Tony, rogue GTL folder found and carried out all the steps necessary to put files in correct place and deleted subsequent rubbish.  All working OK but, even at my pedestrian pace, after a few laps both front tyres alternate Red/Orange as you  switch from left to right turns  ::) ??? - had a fiddle but looks I'll have to live with it unless someone can let me have a setup that's kinder to the front tyres!  :notworthy:  :rockon:

Not if you copy your Roguk.plr file from one install to the other. Found under UserData.  ;)

I had similar trouble twice yep. Not sure quite what fixed it, but I ended up doing a steam reinstall
I then had to create new drivers, and (I think) add the altbiere IPLObby file.

SO, is this another demolition derby? I hated that, wasn't racing, was just silliness for me.
And this is one of my rare at home weeks  :(

There is the first race you could attend?

Hi ... yep as you said copied roguk.plr file and all works Thanks.

What's this talk about demolition derby - is there something to this race not stated in the description ?  ???

Cheers,
Erling

:angel:

I have just downloaded and tried Raleigh Park........................................... :death: :eek:

Someone, somewhere has a very wicked sense of humour!!!!

Guys are you serious about the Raleigh Park Track ?>?>?>

Good luck for all !!!


See you on the grid !!!

Replays and results now posted

A huge thank you to everyone who turned out tonight to honour the memory of Lawrence.

Quite insane event, but entertaining in a totally different way  :D

Only had one major collision in the center: Had timed my approach to perfection, so I would just pass behind a car coming from the left.  What I hadn't factored in, was a car to my right and slightly ahead.  It collided with the car from left, stopping it dead in its tracks - right in front of me...  :o

Totally impossible to keep track of my position in the mayhem.  Did find it rather unsporting, when a driver I had just made a clean, no contact pass on, summarily just rammed me off track to retake the position.  Guess some considered this more of a demolition derby than others..  :-\

Anyway, if Lawrence was following the proceedings from a fluffy pink cloud, I'm sure he had a laugh..  :)

Cheers,
Erling

Agree! Fun event and not nearly as much of a demolition derby as I thought it would be.  I played the cautious route as much as possible and made it to the end.  I had participated in a like event before in Minis and it was total carnage if I remember right.  Thanks Tony, great idea.........

Agree, more fun than expected, 2nd gear acceleration great when you put pedal to the metal!  My race terminated by being kicked back to PC home screen with message GTL stopped functioning! ??? ::)

Well, that was different. I was amazed to only find myself 1 lap down at the end, I had absolutely no idea what position I was running in after a few laps and reading the XD display it was as confused as I was. Jumping from anywhere between 3rd and 9th over the course of any given lap. I tried several methods of approaching the cross over and the 1 time I was cautious so was the other guy with predictable results so I settled on using "The Force" and seemed to get away with it from then onwards. I don't think I was responsible for anyone's demise but apologies if I was, I did give a few people an unintentional nudge and likewise was punted off line myself once or twice.

But great fun. We should make this track a yearly event.

TTFN
John.
