Sorry for the delay in the announcement for this race.

I hope to have only One or Two fun races before we have a test race with the LMP2s.

oooo thruxton never been on this 1

had to reinstall my comp and i reinstalled gtr2 and put patch 1.1 on with the OFP but cant find any of the servers. i have 5 on the list now where there were about 30-40 before. any suggestions??

You may have the in game option 'realism' not set to professional. It will need to be on professional to see the UKGTR server and most other servers.

Probably being really dense here, but how do I know which GTC cars are included in the physics pack?

When you pick the server and write the pass you will have available cars to join. :)

Ahh yes, but that assuming that the server is up and running it  ;)

You can go train single then, pick the UKGTR pack. I think it's available to select each class separately. :)

<<< DDDDUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH lol chears man that'll fix it.

I would never have been able to figure that 1 out.
Chears.

Or you can enter an offline practise session and if you change the class tab to be UKGTR you can select our classes then if you click on the car tab you can see all cars in that class.

Playing it safe. DIBS on the lotus :-)

The server is up now.

1.12's for me in the trusty 997 8)

have changed my mind lol im gonna use the z4 can only get a 1:16 with it but i am alot more comfortable with it

Hats off to you Spanner, tried most of the cars today and the best I can manage is a very scrappy 1:15.3 in the Lotus. Got a low 1:16 in the 997, but found it difficult to keep the revs high enough without using too low a gear. Messed around with the ratios, but no joy. Guess I just don't love pork enough ;D

Jumped in the lotus a got a mid 1:17  straight out the box, so decided to stick with that and see what I could squeeze out of it

A word of warning Jamera... The Porka is the fastest car in this class, it's just that like all Porka's, sane people struggle to get to grips with their 'quirky' handling :o ;). They're a bit like a left-handed player in tennis, they should be banned! ;D
Also, you might want to (if yo have time) try doing a longish stint in the Lotus before the race. I quite like the Lotus, but its character does seem to change badly after 5-8 laps of tyre wear :-\

Well I must have questionable sanity then, because the only GTC car I ever feel comfortable in is the 997.

Just creeping into the 1:11s offline but it's a bit hit and miss through that last chicane  :o

i was using the 997 and just get a 1.13:620ish
i push any harder and i just spin

The only people that moan about it, cant drive it! :P

lol that race shows thats true. 10 goodish laps then spin every lap sometimes twice per lap. No good.

Didn't make much practice, just before the race and I didn't feel ready to race. Felt I could improve cars performance with more practice. Still, summer makes these things a bit more difficult. Race started ok by other drivers mistakes or crashes. Got to 2nd place and lost it through small errors and couldn't catch nsfast anymore. GT was breathing on my neck most of the race but I managed to just stay in front. GT1s are a bit too strong for this track and GTCs felt not strong enough. GT2 might be just the class for it. :) Enjoyable race, this track offers excitement and driving on the edge most of the time. Especially the last chicane. :D 

First of all I have to apologize with spanner for the tap at the 3rd lap :(. I ruined your race... sorry about this.

My race started with a crash at the first corner, than I tried to replace the gap with the guys in front, but the lack of training didn't let me to reach the target. Apart a couple of good duels during the first laps, and a good overtake to TT, my race was not so exciting, but at least this time I've seen the checkered flag, and it was enough... cause it was a long time that didn't happen.

Cu soon :)
