Server UKGTR GT3CUP

Notes:
1) Standing starts will be used for both races.
2) Normal UKGTR rules will be in force, however please note that due to the short race format and particularly the grid reversal for race 02, extra care should be taken at the start and for the first couple of laps.
3) * The 'qual' session prior to race 02 is for the purpose of setting the grid in reverse order from finishing positions in race 01. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE AND REJOIN THE EVENT DURING THIS SESSION as this would disrupt the starting order.
4) Please stay within the game (if possible) even if you fail to finish in race 01. The grid order for race 02 will be decided from finishing positions in race 01. Drivers that leave before the end of race 01 will be placed at the back of grid for race 02.
5) Drivers suffering unforeseen 'disco's' in qual will be assigned their 'proper' starting position ONLY IF TIME ALLOWS. However this cannot be guaranteed and it may only be possible to start them from the back.

This will be a fun race in our normal slot. It will not count towards championship standings (unless Pseudo or I sneak a win ;) )

Its one of the best mods I've used so far, so I'm looking forward to this one. The sound of the Falcon is worth entering for alone  ;D Hope this proves popular. And big thanks to Picnic for his work behind the scenes.

Thanks for trying this Mod SBG, it's really worth it and will provide with good racing. Ever since I got my hang of the beta and made a trailer I've been trying to convince mods here to try the mod, but I failed misserably  ;D.

JEEZ!!! These are mental :taz: We should do a Bathhurst race as well, that place is awesome. Also, is a 1:38.5 any good for Philip Island?

I presume there will be no ballasting for this race? (Ruskus excluded of course ;))


I managed a mid 36 during much testing which is prolly my limit. Not sure which car is faster but the Falcon, just for the sound it makes on rev limit, is the one for me :)

Awesome mod!! Did a low 1.37 after a handfull of laps...cars are great fun.

Make sure you use the setups that come with the mod, as they will give the right gearring and options etc. Without it you can only do 250kph at Bathurst, and with it 300.

I'm in. First race only though.
Shouldn't there be a MOTEC for these cars? I can't see the speed or revs.

Mine works fine, try turning it off then on again in options :)

Prefer Travian.  ;)  Enjoy!  :)

TT

Waste of time!

Race one was fun for 4 laps untill it finished premature. Race 2 I got a disco.

Very very bad track. I can assure it's not mod related, as I've raced it in the past online.

I was terrible in 1st race, caused a massive crash (sorry to anyone I hit).
7th in 2nd race! :clap: Lucky that I had enough fuel to finish (after I went in pits for repairs)
Sorry to PRibeiro, I was lucky to overtake him when he pitted.

Great race!

Race on Donny was short lived. Cars didn't feel right there, not Aussie enough  :P. Spun but could of continued, but wanted to go back to F3000 in Race 07 too badly ;D

Great Mod had a quality battle with Preberio, backo and SBG for the first ten laps great driving guys.
Matt came from nowhere and picked up the pieces ..cheeky bugger!! :P

 :eek: what can I say....absolutely Barking!

The races around Phillips Island were an absolute scream  :). Nice 4/5 battle for 10 or so laps in second race was top drawer. Congrats to whoever won as it was pure bedlam at end  ;D Shame that either mod or tack is badly bugged as it wasn't the same around Donni.

If Race 07 stinks, or is broke, I wouldn't be too unhappy to race this mod instead. Along as we can get it to work of course :) .

Replays and results done...in normal places.

Phillip Island races were fun, I slowly got a bit more pace and doing correct fuel calcs got me some places  :P

Doni was a mess - I went out to do some practice in P1 and half way round the dirst corner we moved to Q1. This messed up my wheel such that it now centered somewhere upside down with basically full left lock everytime I was in the garage. Repeated this on the grid and I thought I had it covered but I didn't so the car just went left until I had gone fully right to reset the range. I had tried this from controllers when I first had the problem but that didn't work. Silly game.....

But at least I got a race, the F3000 in Race07 straight after sat there with one player to join and passed the 0 sec countdown. At about -30 secs I got control of the car and after waiting another min or so for the lights to go from red to green I decided to drive off anyway. Got half way through the first corner and the game took over control again. -2:-36 was seen before I pressed ESC and called it a night  :-\

Just hugelly fun and cool fights, with a lot of hard work,  
i made last corner and S/F line with no power (empty fuel) just inertia helping me  ;D
Well done Madd. Well done to all also.  :)

Cheers

Oh bugger...I missed this completely! :P

I've recently got a little interested in this series (been watching the highlights on the official webby) and would love to give these a go! Anyone able to host a race in these for fun? Or alternatively, any publics up and running with this mod? :o

EDIT: Should I download the .exe or the .rar for the install file? Thanks!

I can't host  :(.

Doesn't matter which one you download. One installs it automatically. other is copy/paste IIRC.

There is a V8 race at R2P at Hidden Valley, I've signed up for that. It's on the 4th of november, at 3:00 pm (GMT)

Hmmmm....interested...but isn't R2P that really pro championship with super fast peeps everywhere? I've never driven these cars before, really I'm looking for a fun messabout race first!

Haha, no R2P is for eveyone. The league I think you are referring to is Sim-Challenge.  That's the World CHampionship.
I might join there again this season, and if you want you can join as well. Last year Jon, Craig and me did pretty well, we had a chance of winning the teamchampionship, but due to unfortunate things to all three, we didn't. It's also open for everyone, because before every race you have to qualify in the top 23 to go to race. And I know you'll be fast enough.

Well I've had my first drive of these now! They feel like stupidly powerful barges compared to the super-grippy GTs!

Only downloaded Adelaide and Hidden Valley, best times on the default setup are:
Adelaide: 1:36.0
HV: 1:07.2

I really wanted to prefer the Ford, but despite both of those times being set in the Ford, I think I prefer the Holden! It sounds better and seems to turn in just a little cleaner....the ford seems to understeer more.....
Then again I don't know why I'm faster in the Ford...maybe its 2 clicks faster down the straight? :P

Ah well, they sure are physical!

Yeah, great fun tho. Also the variety compared to the GTr2 cars is nice for a change.

Included in the mod are setups which you must use in order to get the gearing right. 1:06.5 is the trackrecord at R2P which will no doubt get shattered. A 1:07.2 is very good on default setup so you should really join, as you'll have a good shot at a victory. Don't forget to ask Nick Phillips to invite you to Team Shark there.


I have no idea if there are big differences between the cars, I just like the look of the Holden/Vauxhall/Opel better.

I found one HUGE bug in this mod. The engine health always says 100%...impossible driving Fords  ;D

Brilliant, we can be really agressive with the downchanges then! ;D

Gonna hit it again now...I want to make the Ford feel better for me. Do you have to leave the setups completely standard? I changed the rear wing to 7 instead of 8 and I'm hitting the rev limiter a lot on the stright :s

EDIT: Much happier now ;D

Ran both tracks on the standard setup, with normal wing and did the following (both in ford)

Adelaide: 1:31.9 (dunno why i said 1:36 last time...i meant 1:32.6 :P)
Hidden Valley: 1:06.6

Still cant do the kink in the backstraight flat on Adelaide. Bah!

Argh....can't get below a 6.6 :P
Is there a link to race to play?

Can't remember what time I did, but here is the link:

http://www.race2play.com/schedule/show_event/1119

Cool - do I just click new user, register and then sign up to the race?
 I'm guessing sooo.....

Yeah, then you find you can't race in many races as you don't have a ranking

Hmmm.....
Just tried to sign up but said my profile wasn't complete? Very odd.....

I'll join if it'll let me tomorrow, but I don't know the server or p/w or anything....so maybe I won't be able to :(
