There were some WTCC AI's on the training server too, maybe a bit too quick for this company?

Thanks for the heads-up. I must of missed those in the car filter.

I'll sort that tonight.

EDIT: Now fixed.

I can't see my xd display in Race07. I copied across the two files that I use OK in GTL and P&G that works in those sims fine. Any hints?

When Race07 updates it throws the XD out, seems it has a version check or something. You will need the latest version.

That was brilliant, best fun I've had on Race, great, tight battles, bumper rubbing, just really good fun. Thought I had you Tony on the last lap, but you managed to see me off, still not complaining, from last to 3rd on the second race after retiring from the first with damage.

The first race in this retro expansion pack series was poorly attended which could put the remainder of the series in jeopardy. I will wait and see if things improves next week. Then I will decide whether it's worth continuing or not.

Having said that, the races last night were great fun with a lot of action throughout. In both races the front left tyre of my Volvo Amazon was shot by lap 15 and trying to keep on the racing line with under performing steering was tough.

My first race was ok but it was the second with the reverse grid start that stood out for me. I managed to take the lead quite early on after a blazing start. I then led for ten laps with no challenge. However my xd showed that JPV was slicing through the AI field and by lap eleven I had to go defensive to prevent his Mini Cooper passing. All in vain as it was only a matter of time before he passed and sped of into the distance. THen with increasingly poor road holding I watched as Jamera closed. Fortunately I was able to fend him off but it was very close and had the race lasted for more laps he probably would have passed me too.

So if you have the Retro expansion pack for Race 07, let's be 'aving you!

how many turned up Tony?  I think the impetus was lost leaving using this for so long  :(  We should have had some races when it first came out, you know everyone on here has the attention span of a gnat  ;)  ;D
Plus only about 10 people said they even owned it. Did you stick a post on No-grip? Always worth doing these barren days.
