Notes:
(1) Please make sure you are fully aware of the UKGTR Rules (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=3349.0) - especially the speed limiter starting procedure and the rules about in-game chat messages.
(2) Standings and schedule can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R;group=197;theme=3)
(3) You will not be able to join the server without the skin and ballast pack and track pack (see links above).
(4) Drivers may only change car once in the season without penalty.
(5) Drivers are reminded that they must select ISDN as their bandwidth, otherwise the stability of everyone's connection will be reduced.
(6) Please use the Driver Details (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=profile;sa=driver_info) page to ensure that the league management software has your correct GTR2 'Driving Name' (not necessarily the same as your lobby name).
(7) Note that the track is relatively heavy on frame rates, so if necessary turn your shadows and other graphical settings down to ensure that you get a decent number of FPS.

Test race for the track.

I will see if I can organise a SROuk installer for the track so you may want to wait for that first.

The idea here is to see if you can find any faults with the track please. :)

We now have a proper installer for the track. Thanks Dave. :)

If you have installed the version from NoGrip then you can still join the race using that version, you just will not have the nice SROuk install and unistall options. If you want to delete the NoGrip version so that you can have the installer then, delete the folder named 'Kyalami' from this location:

C:\GTR2\GameData|Locations\

And delete the file 'Kya_GPM_05.hat' from this location:

C:\GTR2\Userdata\LOG\HAT\

Then download and install the SROuk version.

This is a nice track but, I am unsure about some of the curbs and bumps. I managed to get a SuperGT car stuck on some of the curbs and I need to know if it will happen to GT cars when racing in anger.

I hope to use this track for the GT2 class in the championship if this test is successful.

It would be good if people could explore some gravel traps and push the corner cutting etc when practising to help to see if the track is suitable for a championship race.

As this race is about testing the track, please take a pit stop in at least one of the races to help check the pit lane works OK. No need to take on tyres just 1L of fuel.

" It would be good if people could explore some gravel traps and push the corner cutting etc when practising "

yes i`m sure i can help with that easy enough :D

OK track problem #1
 it causes the game to CTD at the initial  carbon-black "gtr2" welcome screen.
Install track - game ctd`s
uninstall track - game works fine
i have tried both humyo and filefront downloads and both exhibit the same problem.
Could it be the installer messing something up?

Having problems with the filefront link, do I need to register to use humyo link?

I have tested and it worked for me. Are you using the NoGrip version?


It is working for me, I have just tried it again. Anyone else having this problem or the same problem as Blito?

Can you see a folder named 'Kyalami' at this location?

C:\GTR2\GameData\Locations\

So as we're still racing... Can you declare pit stops mandatory in either race1 or 2? Just an idea

i take it its Kyalami 2005 we want, not '70 ?

If this is to test the track i would suggest a mandatory stop in one of the races, as legz mentions. Better no surprises in a league race  :angel:

Mandatory pitstop in race 1 would make sense imo as race 2 can then be all about the fast gents fighting their way through the field.

I reckon the newer Kayalami layout (which bears no resemblance to the old one and has even been reversed IIRC) should be a real tester for GT1s with it's tight turns and chicane.

Yep makes sense and gives the track a better test.

1st post updated, mandatory pit stop in race 1.


Yep. Again 1st post update to say Kyalami 2005.

fixed my problem !  the installer put the track files in a sub folder (one for day and one for night) within the kyalami folder. Copying them to the parent sorted it.
cant say im much impressed by the twisty nature of the track though :(

The last chicane as you turn in for the first part seems a bit dodgy to me. Only tried the F550 so far but it tries to spin you round if you put the wheels on the red and white and is very odd if you go beyond that.

anyone no a good time for this track

At the moment any time is a good time as i keep going off. That last chicane is stupidly tight tho :o

i think my only clean lap was a 1:47.... cant remember as mostly i was investigating the different gravel traps!

Ok, my best is a 1.37.8 with a full tank. That final chicane ruins the whole track :(

r we racing this weekend

Yes.... I'm certsin H@L will post something today :)

p.s. Results from last week will be posted later tonight too (now we're back online).

thanks

Interesting races, need to work on that understeer. Very much. ::)

Results & Replays in the usual places.... finally ;)

Thanks Legzy. :)

I had a great couple of races with many awesome fights against drivers including RaceLine, Apex, Matt and others. I did cause more than 1 incident in the 2nd though. I was too aggressive given the track/car/reverse grid combo. Sorry API and Legzy and possibly at least 1 other person, I cant remember it all now.

The track was not bad in terms of its 3d modelling but, the time runs out early (can be fixed fairly easily) and I am not sure what caused the problem with the 2nd race. It was strange and I can not remember seeing that problem before. On the last lap I saw the server message 'next track' and it loaded the next session while we were still all racing. ???

These problems would have to be fixed before we use this track again. I will see if I can sort it out but, the track will not be used again for a while even if I do. There are still many other good tracks out there to try. :)

A lap distance race (rather than time) would likely fix all issues mentioned :)

We did a lap distance race, 15 laps, that is why I cant figure out what happened. ???
