Thanks Geoff! I had to switch to servers with missing files. It turns out i need few cars. The Corvette and the Porsche.

PS: I see that this is from the Dream Pack. Can i just use the other cars? Will i see when someone is with Porsche or Corvette?

Yes you will need to purchase the packs with the Porsche & Corvette in.

Have you got your wheel sorted now?

Thanks again. I had to reinstall the windows as i thing this can be a driver or system related problem. So far so good, but i need to drive at least 2-3 races to be sure.

Oops, sorry my fault. Being fairly new to AC, I saw a little icon by your name & wondered what it did. Turns out it was the 'kick' icon.  :surrender:

Hihi, you found new ways to win Geoff?  :P

Had a nice race. Had not done practice with this combo, but knowing the track and the Vette I could muster 4th on the grid. This lack of practice did however ment my tire pressures where off. I saw a Ferrari and a 911 at the horizon with the Vette of Geoff just in front of me. His pace was to high to manage an attack for a long time. Just after the pitstops I was on his tail again. Finally I could do a pass into the Melbourne hairpin with two laps to go. It was a nice tussle Geoff.  :)

Yes good race Stefan.

Did not have quite the pace to stay with the first two but in the early stages I was able to open a gap to Stefan in 4th. Made one mistake which let Stefan through then he made a mistake which swapped the order back again. Had not done a pitstop before in AC so had decided to do a proper refuelling stop, had enough for 15 laps to start with & refilled with the same amount, this probably took longer but it gave me an idea how stops work. After Stefan had stopped I had a couple of seconds lead over him, but he was now faster & closed in & when I slightly messed up the chicane he got past into the Melbourne Hairpin. So had to settle for 4th. Must stop giving you positions in the closing laps Stefan!  ::)

Congrats to the podium.  :clap: :clap: :clap:

I Always enjoy a race round Donington, been spectating there for 30 years (and been round it on a push bike a few times). I had a close battle for the first part of the race, then things got a bit spread out during the second half.

That was the last AC fun event for a while, the first round of the Sunday night F3 series starts in a fortnight. I will get the practice server up later this week
