Lol Tyf's getting close to the 1000 mark ::) ::) ::) :ban: :P :P :P ;D

Looking forward to these races, should be good close-ish racing.  Will be interesting to see how much of an fps hit 35 other cars causes! :o

Cheers Tyf, I love you too :-* ;)

Did some practice and managed to do a 2:14.441. Hot lap is attached for the interested. The lap wasn't 100% clean, so a high 2:13 might be possible.

That's Imola doing that. There are many points at Imola which can make a huge difference. One is the tight chicane which you can take in 3rd gear and cut hard. Just watch and listen to the hotlap and you can take seconds of that time. Guaranteed

Did a 2.15.7 in qual but knew there was plenty left in the car. Pero's 2.13.7 was amazing time :o did a 2.14.8 during the day but I think that was about my limit. Hope you all had a good race ;D

Had a pretty good race from the start. Had good battles early with Greg and especially with Flybri for last 8 or so laps, swapping places a couple of times.

Really hard going for 19 laps, just to finish in 8th place ::)...but considering the large grid and talent up front i shouldnt be too displeased.

Amazing pace up the front, god knows how you get another 6 seconds out of the lap :alien: :helpsmilie: :wacko:

ps. I used Ducfreaks authentic Alfa GTA sounds for the first time, they are excellent and sound way way better than the stock game sounds. I recommend installing them. 8)

Solid race for me but completely unspectacular, quali'd in 3rd with PB and was just concentrating on keeping ahead of pribeiro to snatch 3rd in the standings, as well as Team Shark the team title.  As soon as Ruskus made it to the race I knew the team battle wasn't an issue! :D and kept a very conservative pace for 3rd in the race.
Go Sharks! ;D :clap:

I'll check the Alfa sounds out, the standard engine noise has a mildly hypnotic effect on me after a while!  The track btw was exactly what I don't like about low-kerb tracks, where you can gain a bucket load of time by shaving off corners within the limits of the game.  I prefer Enna to Imola and I'm no fan of Enna!

Awful race. Hate the track in cars this slow. :( For the second race in a row had to stay clear on the first lap whilst cars came from silly distances behind under brakes (what happened to first lap caution ???), then it was impossible to stay with the Alfas, they were just so quick off the corners with that extra gear.

Shark was obviously having a worse time than me 'cause I caught him after his nth spin behind Tom Cooper, then I clipped the tyres in the Variante Bassa trying to get a good exit and bent the suspension. Then Shark was just messing around waiting for me, I was not in the mood and went off again, then for a third time and decided to stop messing about and retire.

A horrid end to a season which had been really picking up for me. :'(

I think they are on the RSC site, had a damn good battle with Dan Minton, a bit of tooing and foing with me faster in some parts of the lap and him in others, I made a lunge at second chicane and (fingers crossed)  :angel: hopefully gave him enough room but if I did tap you then I'm really sorry, I even tried to take a weird line to give you enough room, but I didn't feel a bump in ff wheel so I'm hoping I didn't.

But eeven though I like the track ish  I am just crap at it!!  :wheelchair:

So many disconnects/retirements today!   That hurts.  ASSASSINO disconnected right in front of me but his ghost was in a good spot and I missed it easily.  Whew!!

I thought I might get a new PB time today but that was not to be.  Did manage a healthy 2:17.2 in qual, good enough for 6th on the grid behind my teammates.  Start went well but I dropped back and a couple times I thought the car(s) behind me would catch up.  Sometime around lap 7 I noticed a new red Alfa appear on the scene in amongst the cars behind me and when that one got the spot behind me I knew it was Ruskus coming up fast.  Lap 8 he comes flying past me and my sensors detected stray heavy particle emissions -- I suspect some kind of fusion reactor on board, so tech inspectors, beware!!   :P  ASSASSINO put a wheel off soon after that and let me by and we had some good laps, but soon I developed a stupid leg cramp that eventually chopped a whopping 2 seconds off my laptime!  Apologies to my teammate for any confusion that caused.  The first time he got by he celebrated by checking the gravel levels in one the runoff areas, but just after getting past the second time he discon'd and I never saw another car after that, just cruising on home in 5th, my best finish here and quite unexpected.

Very nice race, but sorry for all the problems others had today!

I had to work from 8am to 9pm. I thought I wouldn't make the race, but driving at 160-170km/h homewards, I knew there might be a possibity (for any saints, there was nobody on the road).
Joined the race to see there was still 15 minutes of practice, so I thougth something went wrong and there was plenty of time. But the I had a trackreload and there was only 20 secs of qually :o.

So I started at the back. The warmup lap was full of gaps again :(. I had to push to win places, but little by little I was winning places. From some guys I even got a spot for free, eventhough it was for position, so thanks for that :-*. After about 11 laps I was from last place, to 2nd, behind Peter (should look good in lapchart :)). With only 8 laps to go, and knowing Peter's Imola pace, I knew it was impossible to overtake him.
Was a fun race for, but can we please stop discussing corner cutting everywhere, there is a thread for that.

The new sounds are amazing, that's one reason I stick with the Alfa.

I posted a hotlap replay of my reasonable time of 2:14.xxx in this forum. Might be usefull to check where we get the time from.

Oops, made a mistake during the formation lap, I saw Dave weaving about and thought ok, I'll try that as well, hehe. Spun off as a result , grrr. Thinking it was allowed to retake ur place if it didn't cause problems and braking of rules I tried to get back into 18th! spot :-[. Obviously some other peeps knew this is not allowed and Ruskus flashed his lights multiple times, but some1 else just tried to semi-ram me off the track 3 corners long and was right up #17's rear bumper!? And it almost caused a crash?! That is just silly imo. If every1 starts to be judge and jury on track we might as well dismiss the moderators!? Bloody hell... :-\

And another thing... If some1 muscles his way past you (through a chicane...) and you get a 'Cut track warning' because u get bumped off, that's not really nice, is it? :'( Especially not if u make 1 mistake yourself later on and have to drive very careful for the last part of the race, else u'll get a stopngo with the 3rd cut track warning... So tx for that...

Excelent race for me, but very boooooooring.
Qualy went well and I even got into the 2:13's and I acctually thought that that laps was no good. Than just waited till the qually ended and went to race.
It was acctually hard to keep concentrated for such a long time as I didnt have to have a good pace. The crusing made me sleepy and I almost did some stupid mistakes so I upped the pace a bit to keep concentrated. I wanted to really go for it on the last lap, but the laptime went in the first corner allready as I braked very late and almost visited the kitty litter.
Anyhow - I do like the track a lot and if some remmember I was allready quick in the GTC76 race we had here. The key to the times is the first section and some of the corners. It is not all in the chicane - it is in the combinations of corners. You have too keep a good entry in some corners taking the first corner slower than possible to than have a good run into the second corner of the combination and to get the optimum exit speed. That makes this track very selective on the pace - it has more technical sections than many other tracks. About cutting - the game is strict enough with giving cut tracks for running wide. On the other side - check some Monza WTCC pictures for cutting. Have a look in the No-Grip gallery (http://www.no-grip.net) and you will see exactly what I mean.

And here (http://www.no-grip.net/forum/showthread.php?p=33633#post33633) you will find my setup which I used for the qually and the race. I just changed the fuel - that was all.

The formation lap pace at the front was exceptionally steady and nice & slow at the end of the lap.  There were a heck of a lot of people in my mirrors weaving like mad though which isnt allowed in the rules, and is probably the reason for gaps everywhere at the back.  I suggest anyone aggrieved by it should report any specific incidents of it to the mod for the race and get it sorted that way, it's totally unnecessary!

Obviously some other peeps knew this is not allowed and Ruskus flashed his lights multiple times...

I didn't flash because I thought it wasn't allowed. Like I care of there are 20 cars, or 21 cars infront of me. I flashed because I had to laugh ;D. Not laughing at ya, but with ya ("lachte je niet uit, maar lachte met je mee" Dutch explanation). I was allowed to overtake you because of that mistake, but I stayed behind you, all because I didn;t care about winning a position like that.

I've got bumped as well giving me a warning. I was on the racing line going for the famous chicane, I steered in but somebody thought that there was an overtaking oppertunity :-\. Tried to keep my wheels on the kerb, avoiding a warning, but no luck with that. So I just watched myself not getting another warning and risking a S/G later on. No biggie about this all, close racing.

Perhaps you need to read the rules again...

Quote
  • No driver shall accelerate or brake hard during the formation lap.
    Drivers are encouraged to weave left and right to warm their tyres, and to warm their brakes by dragging them whilst under power.

Fair enough, and I realise that, but what about these sections (in bold):

Formation laps shall be driven in single file. The leader shall maintain a moderate pace which allows all cars, including those in slower classes, to warm their tyres and brakes without struggling to stay in touch with the car in front.
The leader should aim for a target speed on the straights of around:
GTR: 75mph (120km/h)
GTL: 50mph (80km/h)
No driver shall accelerate or brake hard during the formation lap.
Drivers are encouraged to weave left and right to warm their tyres, and to warm their brakes by dragging them whilst under power.
During the formation lap, each driver is responsible for keeping a safe distance from the driver in front.
Drivers should endeavour to avoid getting too far behind or to close to the driver in front.
The leader shall not accelerate at the end of the formation lap until they cross the start line. Each following driver should only accelerate when the driver ahead does.
The leader should maintain a steady pace out of the last corner until reaching the start line. Following drivers should attempt to form an orderly, single-file queue behind.

If people are weaving around to an extent that they're too far behind, that's against the rules.  Personally I'd be happier with something like 'no weaving at the end of the formation lap', but that'd negate the point of weaving during the rest of the lap, which makes next to naff-all differece to tyre temps anyway :D

If that's not right then do correct me, I don't want to be assuming something works one way when it doesnt.

Well I had assumed that common sense would dictate that nobody should be weaving in the last couple of corners because they will disadvantage themselves. ::)

I think we've had problems with the TC-65 cars because they are just so incredibly slow. ::)

I didn't flash because I thought it wasn't allowed. Like I care of there are 20 cars, or 21 cars in front of me. I flashed because I had to laugh ;D. Not laughing at ya, but with ya ("lachte je niet uit, maar lachte met je mee" Dutch explanation). I was allowed to overtake you because of that mistake, but I stayed behind you, all because I didn't care about winning a position like that.

Aah rt, would have laughed at myself as well I guess if I didn't feel so embarrassed, lol! :P

P.S. I will Dave, if I cba, don't worry 8)

I wish someone would explain to me how the drivers at the front are doing those times and where I'm going wrong.


Lol. I was more than happy to almost be able to match your pace Greg ??? :-[

I got the 'real'  Alfa GTA sounds from the No-grip site. It makes such a difference to the whiney Simbin sounds. There are also some Lotus Elan sounds on there too i think.

Has anybody got some 'real' GT3 sounds for the Porsche in GTR ?...i have some sound clips from a real engine that sound way more racey and meaty but have no idea how they are converted into a soundbite for the game to use. I hate the whiney sound SImbin gave it. :( You would think for a race sim they would at least get the car engine notes right  ::)

I've posted a few more details on the ladder home page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?ind=lm2&group=25) but there are a few last things to sort out. The short answer is that we will be rotating through lots of different car choices - it won't be a season, it'll be more like a set of fun races but with scoring.

Should ask first....Will there be a skinned season of GT Lengends?

Season... no. Perhaps some short special 'mini-seasons' but not a season like we do in UKGTR.

Yes, we are planning on some sort of skin packs for UKGTL, with just a few final details to sort out before we invite a small number of teams and privateers to pilot the scheme we plan to use. (Don't call us, we'll call you!)

For anyone who's painting GTL cars already, probably the only thing you really need to bear in mind is to keep the windscreen banner area free. ;)

 :jumpjoy: just read the moderators report

'Dan flashed his lights on the run down to Tosa - it's not clear whether he was saying "it's okay" or "you git" but Madd-RIP left the door open in case he felt aggrieved and wished to re-pass, but Dan did not do so.'

Personally I reckon it was the latter!!!!
