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 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php?pid=7) especially the rules about in-game chat messages.
(3) You will need to install Power and Glory v2 from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/), 2.1 patch from here (http://www.gtlw.co.uk/) and enable terrain patch.
(4) P&G has no 'Pit Speed Limiter' function. You may go as fast as you like in the pits, but please exercise caution. Penalties will be handed out for causing contact in the pit lane. Use your best judgement when making your pitstop during the race.

This is a non-championship fun race guys.  The big dogs should be able to stretch their legs here.

I just looked at Tony's GTL race announcement and noticed it was on the 1970 course. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that version doesn't have the chicane at the end of the front straight like the 1979 version that we are running here. Just a heads up...

Have usual problem with MegaUload, can you please give me a link to the source site, eg NoGrip.
Thanks

The nogrip version is quite old. This one is from the GTR2 page at Altbierbude. You may have to register/or login to download. http://www.pilsbierbude.de/component/option,com_remository/func,fileinfo/id,1000/lang,en/

I uploaded the track to Gamefront: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20851706/MM_GTR2_Osterreich79_2.2.0.0.exe

We are running version 2.2 of the track. Please be sure to connect to the server as early as possible to ensure you have the correct version.

Thanks Stig.  :thumbup1:

Shame about that chicane at turn 1. That's usually a flat out blind right hander which is quite exhilarating when correctly executed. Not quite so, when not.
Tried the Cobra last night and poodled around at a snails pace.

Yep - that chicane is a matter of taste and surely not mine.
Unable to pass the chicane in a proper way  :P

I won't be at home, so will miss the race. so far I should  be around to do server duty, even if I
need to kick it off with extended practice time.

I was thinking the same thing after a quick run here. That original turn one with the big hump right before the turn is really great. This castrated version not so much.. Have a good one fellas ;)

Seems that as I have to take Friday off work, I have to work late tonight  :(

So I may not make this. Have fun.

Ok - I'll take the challenge fighting for last place.  ;D
Don't know yet which car I'll be using.

Can't see the password???

I'm not sure why the password is not appearing on the top of the page. I'll send it to you in a PM Jamera.

I too prefer the original version with the high speed right in turn 1, but I can't find that version for P&G. Still, I find it interesting to see how tracks evolve over time.

On the night it wasn't too bad Mike, and nice car choice. I took the Ferrari and loved every single lap. Please let's have that car available again as an antidote to those yank tanks.

Replay Posted. Results claim there is a missing file.
I will have a look at it tommorow unless someone else wants to have a go.

GTR2 Crashed after the race, but I want to thanks ade for the nice duel, despite the lags he was experiencing.
It's a pity, cause you were faster and I'm sure you would have find the way to pass me without this issue... However we are able to do some good duels even with lags ;)
You were A real gentleman giving me back the position after the first corner contact, an example of fair play :)

Thx even to Clive for the "usual" first lap... very fair and exciting as often happens ;)

Thx to all the people who joined the race, even if this event deserved a larger number of drivers... maybe some people is tired of the "old" 2.1... included me :)

Cu for the next :)

The password was omitted from the LM2 Event details. Also the Sim software was not specified (GTR2).

Replay and results now posted.

Matt, the text files were stripped of size once extracted from the replay zip file. Don't know why. I manually moved the files from the server to my Humyo account then was able to use then, un-corrupted, to create the results.

Thanks Tony. I will be sure to correct for the future.

My head isn't on straight. I thought today was Wed. I came to check to see if there was more pre-race banter thinking the race was tomorrow. Work has got me running ragged lately.

I too have been busy, too knackered to drive Monday but managed OK last night.  Had little practice here and it showed.  Qualifying over 4 secs faster than than Wednesday's brief run, mainly to check out gearing and setup. Made a right mess of lap 1 and had a number of off/spins during the race and ended up lapped by everbody.  Still those laps that went OK were fun.

I enjoyed last night, particularly the "usual first lap" with Manteos.  I knew that my only hope was to get in the way early on because experience has shown that Manteos will be much quicker as the race goes on and I had already seen Ade's pace in practice.

I was all on my own, apart from the homicidal L88, and trying to keep hold of the front two whilst not being killed by my own car was entertaining enough for me!

Thanks to Ade for aiming me at the Penske cars.  :thumbup1: and grats to the pair of you for being soooooo quick.

Tony: Thanks for sorting it. I couldn't even get to the "import file" stage. It complained about a missing
file for the script to run, not my import. I have not used the files from the zip for ages as they
don't work for me. I open the files on the server then select all/copy/paste into a local notepad session
Perhaps the issue I saw was to do with the race page having something missing.
