Test race for the coming skin pack.

I thought that we would use the official UKGTR skin testing track, the one with the tyre walls of death, Enna. :devil:

Looks like there will be only 2 cars from the Super GT500 class to test but, as long as at least one person is in each then that is OK and I will be in one of them.

Providing the skins are OK, the 2 cars to test will be a 2005 Toyota Supra (Team Pseudo) and a 2007 Honda NSX (Team Prodigy).

Skin pack now released, 1st post updated accordingly.

I think that maybe it is possible to do the race without pitting but, I have included a mandatory stop to give the skins a proper testing. Please take on 1L of fuel or change 2 tyres at least during your stop.

"Tyre walls of death" sound fun but this week is my weekend off so wont be doing any racing of any kind.
ATM I`m taking a quick breather from running amok with the kids. Got them till 5pm at which time I gotta go get the missus from work.
So have fun tonight and dont miss me too much!
See y`all in 2 weeks :)

really enjoyed that again despite another tiny field

Was on for a definite win.... till 3 laps to go, under no pressure, I plowed into a wall. recovered still in 1st place, but with no front end to the car (lol) I could barely get round corners let alone try to fight NSFast off :'(

I think that's the 1st time Enna has provided a good race. Kudos to the cars I say. 8)

Good fun tonight. :) I'm starting to like these cars.

Enna is a very odd track, and as usual it was a case of who could avoid trouble rather than who is fastest. I tried a very conservative approach and for once it paid off.  :)

Congrats to teammate Apex on the excellent pole lap.

Using this mod didn't change my opinion of this track - I still think it's our best test track. ;D

Lasted longer than ever, err..., yes ::)

Next event, please. :)

I love this track too, so how the **** did I miss this? ??? ::)
Was looking forward to it too and I even did a few "practice" laps round here in the McLaren F1 and the NSX too.

For the last 6, 7 years, Leuven, there's always something here, every Sunday. ::)

So am I right in thinking that next Sundays race is the first league race proper? If so i must make sure I sort out those pit-stop gremlins that sidelined me at Bahrain. :o

Yes. :) Details coming soon.

I managed to get to lap 3 (2nd flying lap) before crashing on one of the tyre walls that is supposed to be made of tyres and not a nuclear flask! My car was launched out of the track and I was unable to continue. :( Well gutted as I was starting to have a good fight with Legzy.

Thanks for showing up everyone, I could see no issues with the cars but, many of them do not have pit limiter indicators.

Yes but not always what I want to race in, so I pick and choose. :wetfish:

If there was racing GT's around Enna every Sunday then I'm sure I'll be here most Sundays,
even if it's just for the carnage at the first set of tyres.  :thumbup1:  ;)
