Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules.
(3) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page

Special Notes: The grid procedure for Race 07 events is slightly different from GTL/GTR2. Upon joining the grid, you won't be able to rev your engine until all drivers are present on the grid. Do not attempt to esc back to garage or you will be DQ'd.

Hi,

I want to try the gtr evo race on sunday night, i have looked around to find the best(cheapest!) place to buy the game and have come across two versions (the DVD disc which costs about £40 and the download steam version which costs £15)
is there a difference between the two?(apart from the obvious, one is a disc and the other is downloaded)

SRW

I don't think there's any difference, I have it all off Steam. :)

ok, thanks TT, might as well get it from steam then!

Spanner,

You know we're struggling for attendence.
You know I have missed about 3 sunday night races in 2 years (two of which were for the births of my kids...).
You know I can just about scrape to join in time for a 8:40 start these days.

Now you've put one at 20:35... I just don't think I can be arsed with all this faffing about...

Don't bother changing the start time, I'll just not bother attending or mentioning I can't make these new early start times you're posting.

Enjoy your races & thanks.

like he said !  :stupid:  make it 5mins later, pretty sure thats not going to inconvenience anybody ?  More the merrier....and needed!!  :)

Why only change it by 5mins?? If it's such an issue let's start the race at 9pm

I was going to wait for the adult to post as he's clearly allowing his kids to post.

 Not sure why you think I'm psychic when posting announcements up either.

Its H@L's series, he can do what he wants.

Let's be adults, end this debate and start ALL races at 9 pm then, eh? :(

no, nine is too late for me as it would pee off her indoors...even more than normal  ;)  Best to get the races done then keep 'em company  for tokens  :)

ps Spanner stop being a grumpy g*t, anyone new reading these threads will think this place is full of attitude at a time when we want to encourage more drivers.  :euro:

Maybe you ought to take some male Italian advice, MJ. Seems like she went up north where males are XXXXX more compliant. Is she bigger than you, btw? :-*

I have been doing mid 44's in the Marcos although I suspect that the time is not very competitive. ::)

Gawd, i've struggled to do any lap. Really not enjoying this, cars feel awful.

Can anyone send me the 2 add-on cars as I've used my download limit on no grip today and would love to join this race?

Mailed ya. :)

Thanks Tom, which e-mail did you use?

The one you have on the forum. [email protected]

Hmmmm haven't received it?

Shame we can't use the BMW M3 GT2...much better sounding than the GTR :( .... and it seems to be on the pace of all the other cars where the GTR is the slowest of the bunch.

Look in the spam folder.

are you using the default setups? Most of them are far too stiff ive found and need softening down a tad for better turn in etc

Agree on the new M3 sounds, they are great, especially when you crank the volume up. The new M3 is quicker than most of the current Sport class though. In the offline races i ran it usually dominated the top end of the grid (being a newer car evolution than the rest).

bugger, im such an idiot, i didnt realise this race was tonight  :(  i even posted in this thread earlier but had just assumed it was on this weds eve coming. Damn.  :-[

well my first race in GTRevo was shortlived, through the gravel and into the barriers at turn 1 on lap eight.

Not sure about GTR evo yet as i only bought it yesterday, spent a couple of hours last night installing it and trying to find out where all the different setup pages are. so i only did about 10 laps practice for the race tonight. will have to spend a few hours behind the wheel before i really know.

Ha! Such an intense race. :o After pole I was able to pull away and make a gap of about 5 sec. After the tyres started to lose a bit the gap went down and disappeared at around pitting time. Lazlow pitted first and after my stop we came out side by side but he was able to pull away after the hairpin. He was then also able to make a gap of a few seconds which I managed to reduce towards the end of the race. Last 15 minutes was a race of less than half a second apart and he kept his 1st. Well done for the pace, was great and intense racing. :) Was soaked all over, like playing basket for two hours. :D

Grats pody and finishers. 8)

Can we now set a policy that will bring more / all interested drivers on track, please? Legzy, MJ, which hour would be ok for both of you?   

Sorry i didn't make it guys  :(  fell asleep on the couch  after work.

Very close race last night.

After staying with TT in the first 5 laps, I then had two sloppy laps dropping me 7 secs back and in the clutches of Spanner & nsfast for a couple of corners. I think I clipped nsfast as I was trying to make the apex in turn 9 after running wide...sorry about that dude I just didn't know you were there :-[

I then regained my composure and went about closing the gap to TT, and at the halfway mark I was only 0.7 sec behind. Pitted for new tyres only. And just as I came out of the pits TT and I were side by side going through turn 2. I decided to make a lunge down into the tight right hander at the bottom of the straight, and managed to make it stick :o 8). I then pulled a 2 sec gap but as the race went on TT was putting on the pressure more and more :sweatdrop: and at the end of the race he was just over 0.5 sec behind.

Brilliant racing as usual 8) would of been good to see a few more people attending though...maybe next time.

Funny, after all these years, people still call it the "unofficial lapchart" ;D
