Nice. :) We're testing ... anything particular? :)

Just the circuit TT, it seems it might have had a problem when it was last run in a UKGTR2 event in Oct 2008 :-\

As it was short notice, I wanted to pick something everyone would know but that we hadn't done for a while, whilst trying to gain something from it at the same time. :)

Cool. 8)

Great track, didnt we use it in a P&G event a short while ago without problem?

I can't promise but may be able to take part in this one :)

Hi X - please do. :)

Will be good to see you on track again Busi 8)

The filefront link for this track doesn't work for me. Welcome back Busi :)

Aparently Goodwood is on the server ???

Whats going on??? Well it seems there are 5 tracks or so on the server at the moment which doesnt feature Nurburgring at all!!!

Apologies, this race wasn't announced before the last GTR2 race so I had left a selection of UK tracks running on the server. Thanks for the heads up, server is now hosting GTC @ Nürburgring

OK, thanks Picnic. Thought it was a dastardly plan by Legzy :taz:

Sorry, not pete's fault, I should have sorted it. Let's call it teething trouble 8)

No laptimes yet here? I've tried the two cars I most like, on 60 litres and offline:

Gillet: 1:55.3
Spyker: 1:54.1 (that car is damn fast for a GTC :o)

Tell me about it, i noticed this too last season  :o

Nice password. ;)

I think some balancing needs to be done with the Spyker. I was driving my heart out and taking risks just to keep up with it. Inevitably, with all that risk taking, I lost control and looped the car; twice even. It can pull the GT3 on the straights and appears to be very good in the turns and braking department too. If no changes are made, I'll certainly be trying it next round.

Enjoyed that. Had some fun in the Elise, that I would not normally run & nobody else would either! :laugh:

Really like that track, let us know if you had/saw any issues please?

Good to see some faces we've not seen for a bit too. 8)

Nice race. :)

I saw no problems with the track. Good turn out. 8)

Yes, Spyker is a bit too fast. Have no objection if I take it :-* but hand it to an alien and you have multiclass race. ::)
Nice turnout. GTR2 lives! :D

I also took the Elise for spin for the first time. What difficult car to drive. :o Just waiting swap ends all the time.

Enjoyed the track in practice and qual but got a pucture on lap 2 after a spin and was not able to get safely back to the pits. Hope I didn't cause damage to cars caught up in my accident.  :(

Speaking of swapping ends regularly... Sorry to the team shark car that couldn't avoid me in the last hairpin about half way through :-[ (& GT lost some time too I think)
& anyone else my lotus spinning put off! :laugh:

That was me - no harm done, I didn't see you until too late going up the hill. Must remember to turn the name tags on to give me a bit more chance. The Z4 still needs a bit of top end speed on big GP circuits like this to live with the best in the class. It's a long time since I did a sprint race and I really enjoyed it.
Really hope there is a GTC class as I have little enthusiasm for GT1 or 2.

Quite enjoyed that until the last couple of laps when I started making silly mistakes while trying to chase down Prof  ::)

No problems to report with the track.

Entertaining race to say the least :D

Decided to take the fast car (Spyker) and start from the back. The problem was on lap 1 I couldn't avoid a spinning nsfast and my car was damaged (no problem mate, happens :P) so I didn't have the pace I expected and was difficult to overtake cars.

I eventually went up to 4th place but I saw Gazza and H@L too far ahead of me so decided to come in for a pitstop (repairing the car and getting softs to do almost a quali run). A shame cause I saw then Gazza had lost time and may have tried to pass him. But anyway, went out of pits and did a few consecutive 1:53's :o don't know how but I overtook a couple of cars and ended up in 4th place again despite the pitstop ;D

With the GC Sunday league having finished and also finishing another league next Sunday, I'm probably gonna be back for a few more races here :)

Thought i'd give the 430 a go which was different. Realised the porsches are giving me bad habbits where i'm on the throttle during braking and turn-in to help get it turned in and control the back end. This doesnt seem to transfer well to the others! But was struggling a bit in the 430, front end grip could have been better as i was struggling to get it turned in at times. Wasnt seeing that much wear so went with soft front and med rears but later in the race was really struggling  hence the number of spins typically when people are around!

Good to see the turnout picking up, think the carrot on the stick was bringing a few back lol
