More scheduling a get together of the people with GTL than actual race, but if there is at least 4 of us we could have a race as follows:

ALL UKGTL'ers WELCOME!

Date: Thursday Oct 27th

Practice: 8:15pm (30 mins) - Get to show off your winning cars, but we should stick to single makes for the races (see below)
Qual: 8:45pm (15 mins)
Warmup: 9:00pm (2 mins)
Race 1: 9:02pm (20 mins) - STANDING START - Lotus Cortinas ONLY
Race 2: 10:05pm (20 mins) - STANDING START - Mini Cooper ONLY

Track: Nurburgring Mullenbach
Race Time: 18:00 (should have a nice twilight look  :o)

If the track is too titchy for ya then we can change it, just a get together for some fun.

Oh yes, yes, YES!!!!!!

Cool, will be there if I can.  But don't count on me as the GF is coming round ;)

Thank you, I get pretty good fps on this track. Cortinas are great but am I the only one who found the minis a dreadful dissapointment, perhaps its a fwd thing.

I love the Mini's! Loads of fun :)

Fingers crossed I can make this race.

I don't really like the minis either, but they are FWD so require a completely different technique. Best thing about the minis is that half the time they go round corners on 3 wheels.  ;D

I would love that, but unfortunately I run SRP-GTR league at thursday nights. :'(

Hi Guys like the look of the GTL cars ,especially the fords as I used to work on the bda escorts in the 70's and the capri's and some of the others in the 80,s.Some of the sports based cars were in Transnational GT's the formula I drove in mid 80's.gerald

After all I can join in ;D. I forgot that we don't have race this week in SRP-GTR

Not long until the UK release, so I should be able to join you soon.  :)

 ::) Hi My name s Mario Gama and im not on the ukgtX leagues but can i show up for this fun race?

See you all there tonight.

Server down?????

WOW what a blast, thats the most fun I have had online in a long time.
Guys you just gotta get this game.

I have to say even with just 5 or 6 of us, that was the best fun I've had with my clothes on for quite some time. Even better than that set of rFactor fun races we did not too long ago that was a blast. GTL tonight was just an absolute raving hoot!

Having the minis sideways under braking and sort of having it all under control was just brilliant and doing all that whilst being side by side with 4 guys was just amazing.

The Cortinas too, fantastic, I think me and Greg were side by side for a whole lap at one point, brilliant!

The feel of these cars is just tremendous.

Not sure where Luis went? Shame he couldn't stay.

BTW, I've uploaded the replay of the mini race to http://ukgtl.simracing.org.uk/ as I'm sure some of us would love to see that again.

I am not sure I can bring myself to look at replay. You may notice that I put such a move on Greg, through last chicane, that I completely lost it for rest of race (laughing so much). Amazing game  ;D (hang in there pops its worth it).

Did suffer poor fps at times though, especially with headlights on. Hopefully a patch will accompany the UK launch or many are going to have similar difficulties.

I got 2 CTD. After the second I wasn't able to get in time for the race.
I went for some GTR online, where for me things are much better. At least I don't get CTD systematically.
Then I returned to GTL but the races ended already and the server was no more.

Hope to join for the next one, but I'm not that happy with online of GTL, mainly cause of the damned CTD I get all the time.

Luis, I have the same problem and one thing that was suggested last night was changing the game priority in the .PLR file, not tested it yet, but might be worth a try

Thx, Jamera. I will try that to see how it goes.
