Okay I downloaded the track from here, but when I join the UKGTL practice server, I get 'Misano.gdb mismatch'. I can still drive the track, but maybe it won't let me race like this come race day.

Any ideas  ???

Yeah I get the same.

I've now re-uploaded the track to the server and restarted it and no mismatch now, so you should be fine now.

Working okay for me too. I'm liking the combination of car and track - but I suspect my 1:56.5 best so far is going to be way off the pace...

Hrmm The way I do it is I change the .plr file of a profile (I made a test profile) to have the Vehical Removal to 0.0100 but 1.1 automatically re-changes that to 10.000 and none of the cars drop.

Er, no - you need the other cheat!

Create a file called TG2001.DYN in the root GTL directory (and make sure there's no other extensions, and make sure it's all UPPER case), then I think create a new profile and everything is unlocked for you.

Can I have some new brakes on the damned thing!?!?!?  It doesn't like stopping much does it!?

Took a bit of getting used to, but after a few laps I'm down to 1:56.6, and I know I can go faster - was 0.8 up through the second split before the game changed sessions.

Should be a good race, see you all there.

Nope. Thanks to Simbim's brilliance, you can only race online via the lobby, and seeing that it's going down more often.... :-X

Hamachi is for max of 16 people and I think it's too late and too hard to implement that now. Eventhough Hamachi is a great tool!

Wait till the race time guys. If we still have problems then, then this will have to be postponed.

I do lots of Googling at work, so I thought I'd put my feet up and let someone else do it for me this time.  :P

I very rarely practice for events, because something bad always happens when I do. So apologies for this one - it's probably my fault that the lobby is down  >:(

Race rescheduled for the next available slot (26th Apr).

It's very frustrating after all this time that Simbin/Blimey! are still forcing us to use a lobby for our own private games. It wouldn't be so bad if it was totally reliable though!

a crap race for me. Started well. No delays on the plane home. Went to pick up car from security parking firm only to find both the front suspension coils had snapped mysteriously during the time i was away, and had to get towed home.

Anyway - suspension repaired, but then developed a cold. Sunday before the race i fell down the stairs and damaged right hand - swollen like a balloon, Not broken though fortunately, but bad enough to spoil race chances.

Tuesday before the race cold turned to Flu. Race seems impossible as unable to see properly through a strange haze, unable to breath properly due to stuffed nose, unable to concentrate properly due constant coughing.... you know the scene.

Anyway - looking for better luck for next race.

Is it supposed to be serious race game this?  :laugh:  The sounds just seem to come straight out of a child's exploratory set. I was half expecting to hear the voice of mickey mouse doing the tutorials, or the pit radio, or something. Oh well. Lets drop this one.

Not used these cars or this track before so bit of a steep learning curve. If i can get home in time i'll join in but big fire near London has fooked all the trains and closed several stations.  :(
I am sure our, ahem, efficient transport network will speed me home in time, cough  ::)

Bit of an odd one that; enjoyed the cars and the track but after an initial flurry of excitement dicing with Oilseal and a few others it went all quiet, only getting past Will and then Bully when they spun.

We must've had some fairly different gear ratios because I was much faster than Oilseal in the twisty bits and then he pulled away like crazy down the straights. Got past and then got sideways in the early left hander and he accidently tapped me. Thanks for waiting - you should've just gone really - I had no idea which way I was facing and stayed still until people stopped coming past only to find I was facing almost down the track anyway. ::)

Really enjoyed that.  Qualified last with a personal best 1:53.875 ....... after discoing ..... stupid game (I was 5th, with PRibeiro in 4th with the exact same time).  Got back in with 40 seconds left on the clock.  Right then, the first few laps should be fun!!!!

And the first few laps duly were!!!!  Really enjoyed getting by people for a change rather than going backwards.  Got up to 7th, which was pretty much my target after starting from the back.  There was a 10 second gap to 6th once I'd got there, and the gap never closed, and was at 20 seconds when the chequered flag was waved.  Similarly, I didn't really have a great deal of pressure from 8th, working up a 15 second gap by the end I think it was.

Nonetheless, really enjoyed working that Fezza round the track, thoroughly enjoyable.  I think that even if I'd started 5th I'd have finished 7th - great pace from the top 6 (especially the top end of that 6!).

I'll enjoy watching the replay though, really please with some of my overtaking maneuvers.

Cheers all - great race.

Well i really enjoyed the cars. The Ferrari was a fabulously smooth and sublime car to drive. Great looking and sounding too, even if it is in girlie light blue.

Was very pleased with my pace to get 5th in qually after only learning the car, track and setup with 5 minutes of Practice 1 and the Qualifying session under my belt. In the race I was banging in 1:54s every single lap practically. This unfortunately meant I was not quite quick enough to stay with Stuffy, but also about the same faster than Nev behind. So it was a lonely race as after lap 1 when Stuffy and Priberio made light contact seeing Priberio off the track I saw nobody. Slightly disappointing cause these cars are so great to have battles in.

Provisional results (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?ind=lm2&event=314) and provisionally updated standings (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?ind=lm2&group=46) available.
Due to a technical error on the new server, the replay was overwritten when the server cycled so no replay from server. Sorry. Will be fixed for next time.

Cool track, cool car, cool field of great drivers.
I believe we were 15 at start, GTL is alive. :)
I qualified 4th, got 3rd place right in the beggining, but when we were
at the end of that looooong straight, i was tapped in my left rear end,
left wheels on track, right wheels on grass (100 mph), just before hard brake.
I was lucky i didnt spin 10 times :D (in 1st lap with such a wide track for 21 laps,
was a bit exagerated that bump to bump moment near to break point) ::)
But this is racing. :)
So, i fall to 7th, had some huge fair but hard fights with Bully ;) and Richards ;)
but i couldnt catch Simon, in time ;D
After this, i am happy with my final 5th place (more less) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Congratulations Baracus, great win. ;)
Well done podium and that consistent driving Simon. :)

Cheers

More - infact.  I could have sworn there were 18 - despite what the results say.  I'm sure Picnic was showing 16th in the pits.  I was at the back and I could swear I started 18th ........


Nope - 15 there was ...... I blame abuse of Cinzano in mid-week practice sessions....... ;D

There were 16, but Picnic didn't get to the grid in time, so he missed the start, poor chap.

The usual place for me, last of the finishing drivers :-\
Not a bad car to drive though, but I'm not quite confident with controlling these cars yet. So with a conservative setup, my front tires were shot at lap 9, and thing begun to get boring. But at about lap 17 I felt that I got some grip back, probably because I'd burned some fuel, so I could race again. But after just a lap or so I begun to get in trouble with the braking bias being set to much to the rear, so I had my hands full with keeping the car on the track. Not all bad though, got my first top 5 in a NR2003 Trucks race yesterday :P

Good race, and nice to see a decent sized field in GTL again  :)

I had a few things going on in qually, and didn't get on track until the last 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I vaught traffic on my first decent flying lap, and the session switched before I finished the next lap which was going to put me about 3rd on the grid. Annoying that these games switch sessions while you are still on a timed lap  ::)

So 6th at the start and 6th at the finish. My setup was a bit too loose really and by lap 5 I couldn't push too much because the rear tyres seemed to have melted. Annoying because I was miles ahead of 7th but just couldn't find an extra couple of tenths per lap to make an impression on Simon. Congrats to everyone who took part - lots of good consistent driving out there tonight  ;D

Fun car on a fun track. Shame the race was a bit lonely. Couldn't find the pace every lap to stay with the battle for the lead, but was a bit faster than Simon behind me. At least it's a track that's interesting to drive alone!

Pribeiro - sorry if your spin was caused by me - I thought I was alongside into the bend and tried to keep it tight. Didn't feel any 'knocks' from my wheel, so assumed I'd passed cleanly. Apologies again if it was my fault.

See you all next time - hoping for another large turnout.
Stu

Heh, it was good fun. I really wasnt in the mood to learn a new track and car in GTL last night and didnt really want to lose valuable spare time for praccy at Estoril in GTR2, but jumped in at qually with no practise whatsoever. Qualied 11th.
Went off a few times early on as i was learning the car and track during the race, but once i got my rhythm i started getting along quickly. Got upto 8th before i went off hard braking behind a backmarker. Had some great fights along the way especially with Mike? Coop until i got clear, then fought my way back up and was gaining fast on the 8th-12th pack.
Put Will under pressure on last few laps, he went off, then on very final turn (and he must be gutted) Bully ran wide on the kerb and i got a good line through the inside and beat him to the line to grab another place for 10th  8)
Great track and enjoyed sliding the Fezza around. Shame GTL/GTR doesnt allow custom skins so easily like the IL2 WW2 fighter sim does, as i have some fantastic historical racing skins on my pc for the Ferrari and other cars. It looked plain odd with 16 blue Fezzas on track.
We should re-visit this track with an Alfa/Cortina fight.

Agreed.

I can imagine theres a few car matchups that would work well here, Beamer v Capri ?

Hi all,
        I had a blast last nite, even though I was off the pace (and the track) lol. I was somewhat surprised to find myself qualifying in the middle of the field and not the back! I also beat my PB by nearly 2 secs with a 1.55.4 i think it was. At the start of the race I think I was up into 6th for a while, I had prib behind me taking up most of my mirror! After a few laps like this I just couldnt keep up the pace and Prib passes me, was great fun the few laps we were together, then shortly after that I come off the track. So after a few offs I find myself in 9th i think it was. than on the last corner, I go wide and end up sliding on the grass! and I forget who overtakes me and steals my place !  :o

All in all great fun cant wait for the next one, I always loved GTL :) Just need to work on a bit of consistency!

Cheers for the fun,
                        Bully. :P

Sorry to hear your race was boring Dave - this was one of the closest races I have ever had in GTL!!

Paul pipped me for pole in the dying minutes and I messed up my only chance of getting it back! Anyway gotta be chuffed with a 51.3 :-D

Managed to get past on lap 1 at that slippery right hander, but then Paul and I were never more than about 2 seconds apart for the whole race! I somehow managed to get a good drive out of every critical bend, just enough to keep ahead even though Paul was definatley faster than me chasing.

Had a couple of love taps - but nothing £250,000 won't sort out :D (each car of course). Thanks for waiting after that spin Paul :-)

Great fun - I totally love the Ferrari's - just wish they were a bit faster in relation to the other cars as its mostly so uncompetitive racing against anything else!

Had another terrific race. Not a lot of action apart from a minor toussle with Bully(?). Panicked that I was gonna take him out going head/hed round a bend. But Managed to keep control only to see him go skipping off into the distance. haaha.

Nice win Baracus - Congrats :)

Late posting up been a bit busy.

The meeting was the most fun I've had in GTL in a non-TC65 car, I usually stick to the Mini. :P
I was surprised I got pole TBH, I was wolfing my dinner down and came back to the game with just under 10 mins left in qual, so fuelled it for 5 laps and went for it.
In the race baracus had the edge over me in the tight right hander, as I drifted a touch going in. He was always better on the exit of the tight left hander and you carry what you gain there for a good portion of the lap. The one time I did get a good go at that corner baracus had a slight slide going in and I tapped him into a gentle spin, soz 'bout that. :)

Great fun though, grats to baracus on the win. :)
