In case you have been away from GTL, there have been GTL lobby problems. But.... it's all fixed now!

This is what you do to connect to the server:

1) Download & run this HOSTS HACK (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3358.msg54518#post_hostshack)
2) Start GTL & select to the lobby
3) Register a new lobby account (I suggest the same name but with a blank email & password)
4) Log in with your new account & you should see a list of servers

:euro:

If this fix has not worked for you, then please check out this thread for more info/questions: https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=6869.msg119486#msg119486

But most importantly, do not suffer in silence (also, don't leave it till the Tuesday night ;)).

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) This race will be run using the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.8.0.0 which will need to be installed prior to racing; please get it from the downloads page.
(4) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=238&theme=5)
(5) 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.

I've been fortunate enough to race on this track for real. Maybe it will give me a leg up?

Interesting track. You have to stay strictly on the racing line or you'll be very slow (or go way off the track).

Ahh catfish. I have to work in the city again tomorrow. I'll miss yet another race. I guess I can't complain. I'm lucky to have so much work in trying times.

Albeit it's a pitty you can't be with us, I congratulate you for having so much work.

Marco

You need the skin pack

https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3358.msg54518#msg54518

Do you want to , maybe, mention the skin pack in the announments next time?  ??? with no skin pack for this season just the car packs issued i've had the car packs installed. Come tonight i now cant get in and am trying to download the skin pack in time to get in ???

I don't remember doing any skin packs, maybe I did.
Was way behind after my enforced handicap, had to wait while most of the field passed, then went on a hyper run
passing a couple of people until I was chasing (and losing) Marco, as usual when trying to make up time I had a few
offs, Syd got close a couple fo times, but must have had his own offs, most of the race was lonely, 12 secs to cars
in front and behind.
Not a complaint, but why are theses races so short? at 40 mins you have an opportunity to make up time after incidents, 30 mins makes it just that bit too manic. (IMHO of course)

Read the Announcement, Note 3.  :angel:

Regarding the race length.......These were always intended as a quick fun blast about. And we thought that some nights we would have two races. But that didn't pan out. Your right though, at 40 mins this event would still have been a great laugh but I don't know if the tyres would last.
Next time.....next time......

Replay and results are now posted

Congrats to Pribeiro and Team Prodigy for their respective wins and trophy's

And thanks to everyone who turned out for these "quickies"

I hope we get to do them again someday............

Many thanks for putting this championship together Tony. They're not my favourite cars but it was a lot of fun.

 :clap: :clap: :clap:

Huge thanks and many congratulations to Tony for the nice track/car combinations, that was awesome.
All races were fantastic and great fun.

Cheers

Moderation now completed. PM me if need be (very much doubt in this case).

Thanks Prof.
