Is the championship based on combined points from the SGT500 and GT2 races or is there two seperate championships?

Do i need to register for the championship?

They are 2 separate championships.

No need to register. Just be fair, sensible and follow the rules when on the server. :)

Yes, but what has been going on with your connection recently mate? You've been warping loads, is somebody else sharing your connection or are you on wireless maybe? :-\

cant we delay this until next week? Think i would get rightly strung up if i disapeared for another race this weekend after spending about 7+ hours glued to the GTW event so far.
No way i will be attending and seems a shame to miss first round. Doubt Legz will make it either with his impending Legz junior, not sure about other teamies from GTW event.
Doubt any of us in that would have had time for any praccy for this. Might be worth asking if enough are going to turn up?  :-\

I'm happy to turn up tonight.

No point putting other people off by canceling it now!

EDIT: Matt you might want to check this rather long thread out, it was this weekend.

I will be there.

I did consider not having a race this weekend a while ago but, it would have meant the season would have had to wait another 2 weeks to start.

race pace 1.49s for me so far. :)

i tried to be there :( :cursing:

when i entered the game the list of people already online came up one after the other as usual, then the names kept on coming up on the screen, i managed to ignore this and go out on the track but i had no car sounds and my name and lap times where not registering on the HUD. I turned the computer and modem off and restarted everything and got the same. I have been online earlier in the weekend and practised without problems. Anyone else have this problem tonight?

I had this problem but the guys on TeamSpeak put me right. I needed to download the Skin Pack mentioned in the race announcement

(TYres need fixing if anyone cares to  ;D )

Great race. loadsafun with a few people, epic chase to the end with Apex, who was very sporting.  :thumbup1:

Thanks for doing the results Matt. :)

I really enjoyed that race.

I had a great fight at the start with Apex, spanner and TT. I managed to get a bit of a lead in the pits but, a few slow laps and TT was back on my heels and keeping the gap under 6 seconds in the last 20 mins.

Well done all. Thanks for racing. Sorry MJ and Legzy. You were missed. Unlucky SRW. You would have had no issues getting on the server until someone with a skinned car joins.

See you all at Mugello. 8)

Interesting cars, these. Can't really say what are the differences, they all seem the same to me - driving wise and also visually. ::) Allow some close driving among sensible drivers. Had some close laps with H@l, Apex and Spanner, no problems there, all fair and safe. :)

Always feel I could drive much faster in these cars. :-\

Lol not sure where my qually lap came from, though knowing its only 3 laps total took the fuel right out!

Was over H@L like a rash early on and seemed to be quick but ended up pushing too hard and falling off too much when the tyres started to go off early.

After the Ford GT earlier in the day these felt like a LMP and Albert Park is a track that i enjoy but halfway through i was starting to flag and the last 10 mins dragged on!

Looking forward to the next one as always!

Sorry couldn't race in the end, loved the cars in testing tho.

The day after the 24hrs my girlfriend had something to say for me trying to attempt another race  :P

Yea, they always think you should make it up to them if they let you race one race. :P
Be a man, do the right thing. ;)

I was a bit busy when this one happened (or at least my wife was ;)) which is a shame because I love this track & am really enjoying the cars 8)

Hope it' not too long before we see this place again :)
