While I remember  ::) , this Castle Combe event replaces what should have been IRL the Croft circuit which unfortunately failed my test. The good news is that I've now managed to find this version of the Combe, which is an up to date one and is sure to make at least one of our members a happy man.....eh Steve  ;)

Note: AI are on the practice server, but are probably a little too unpredictable to race here.

I should be able to make this one  :)

Wont make it unfortunately, school parents evening will see me too late back to join by the time we get something to eat and stuff sorted etc etc.

Still not sure about this version of the track either; the GTR2 version seems about the closest to me (certainly graphically), but I wont pretend to have driven the real track (well not at full pace ;)) so don't know which one is most accurate to drive really.

Not sure what more part I'll take in Race 07 for the future, really need to concentrate on getting better race pace in one sim which will be GPL or I will end up being an 'also ran' forever.  But you never know, I may turn up for the occasional outing now and again.

Cheers

Thanks for letting me know Spanner. I appear to have the same problem ???

I've tried the obvious things, like rebooting the server without the AI and checking the GDB file for that "IGAID=64" bug which almost scuppered our cats race at Snetterton a few months back, but no joy as yet.

I'll give my head a good scratching and take another look at this in the morning.

Please try again, it appears we're using a newer version of the track now. The server only had the old version.

This is strange. The track now on the server.... "Castlecombe" (which appears to be the correct one) is different from the one on our installer which is "CastleCombe"  ???

I've just tried it again twice and still couldnt get on. Am re-downloading it again but dont think its going to help.

Nope, no joy. Can run it offline but cant join our server.

That's because the install points to the wrong version. Still scratching my head  ::)

Can you copy it off the server so we can all use that one?

Or remove the version from the server and upload the one we all have?

Had a go last night for some much needed preparation and eventually got down to 1.03.8. It's a great little circuit that looks simple but some of the lines are not obvious. Should be a fun race.

Made a lucky lap in Q and was 3rd on the grid in race 1. Start was great as usual, seems like beemers RWD really helps. Came on first with enough gap to last up to the first mistake. Gazza went through and I couldn't do anything, just watched him slowly drive away. Tyres lasted ... not at all, had more than 20 at the end. 2nd place was more lucky than deserved. Race 2 was ... interesting. Went from 7th to 3rd place before it was time to brake. The dip made the car unstable and I was flung over the track onto the grass. Fortunately everybody evaded my car. :sweatdrop: Was dropped to last was catching JPV and managed to get alongside. Then he disapeared. Was scared I was to blame with a contact or such but in the replay I saw he hit the barrier. Unfortunate, buddy. That side by side chicane entrance would have been hectic. :scared: Spanner's and Ade's mistake placed me 6th on the grid and I count it lucky after my initial mistake. :)

Very enjoyable racing last night especially with Prib in the 2nd race. I really struggled in latter part of the races when my tyres were shot and I fell off on the last lap in both races.

I almost forgot how RACE07 is so enjoyable.
First race, I lost 3rd place on the last two corners due to lack of fuel... ;D managed to pass the line tho.
Second race, the RWD allowed me to jump into the 1st place and had a monumental fight with Mcfids almost untill the checkered flag. Very fair and good driving, thank you.

Cheers

Never really liked this version of the track and struggled to be consistent round here but had some close racing round here mainly from trying to defend like mad in the second race! There is very little between cars so at times it can get a bit too close!
