Hello all, I hope this is the place to put this........My name is Brian Clemo.......

My father and best mate Lawrence Clemo, known to the online racing fraternity as LigelC , sadly passed away last night after fighting the big 'C' valiantly for many months.

He loved all the racing , banter etc he had with all of you . We spent many hours watching replays and dissecting the action. His wish was that I let you know how much he enjoyed the time spent with you on the cyberspace 'grey stuff'.

So please raise a glass to the finest man I ever knew...........

Thank you all for helping him enjoy his passion for motorsport.

" LigelC returning to the pits , that's this race over............"

I have always found in previous series that driving different cars each week was the main attraction.  The possibility of driving the same one or two cars for a whole season fills me with horror.    I don't argue with your belief that it aids drivers development but I join in races for fun - I have no aspirations of ever winning a race.  My main aim is not to be the last car on the road at the flag by keeping ahead of my fellow "backmarkers".

Well thats my twopence worth.

Tony,  I have tried a couple of offline races against the AI's starting at 2200hrs.  In first race I just nudged the back of another car and lost my lights - impossible to race without them.

In the second race I was hit by a car returning to the track with same result - lost my lights.  Don't know if the Boss is more vulnerable than other cars but it doesn't bode well.

Maybe you can check it out.

I enjoyed last nights race even though I spent most of my time on my own at the back as the last one on the road.  Disappointed to see so many drop out (particularly those who usually keep me company at the rear of the grid)

Congratulations to Mike, Ian and PR and thanks to everyone else who turned out for the race.


You sure confused me at the start with this move Bill - I thought for a moment that I must have jumped the lights

        "You talkin to me"            

Reading the various posts for PnG I get the impression that there is a way to select any make of tyre for any car.  When I enter the garage the tyre choice is limited to just one make (Dunlap or Goodyear etc).

Am I miss reading what is being said or can any tyre be selected - if yes what do I have to do to enable it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Laurie

All sorted now Legzy, thanks for your input

Laurie

Legzey,
although your race data states the circuit is the 0.9 version the actual download link is to a 1.1 version.  Will this cause a problem?

Laurie

Update at 11:30
Probably nothing to do with my earlier comment re version numbers, but having downloaded the 1.1 version and installed it, it does not show in the game circuit list so unable to select it.  It does however show in the Locations files

Laurie

Another totally enjoyable race for me as I battled with Bill and Sandor - thanks guys for making it such a good night. 
 
Not really one of my favourite circuits but have to agree it does produce great races. (A little disappointed that PR didn't put on his aerial acrobatics as he did last season in GTL  )

Congratulations to the podium and thanks to everyone who turned up.

Laurie

Last night was one of the best races I have taken part in and showed you don't have to be at the front to enjoy your racing.  I chased Bill for lap after lap and we eventually caught up with Phil when it turned into a 3 way battle.  My thanks to Bill and Phil for making it so enjoyable.

Congratulations to Legzy on his first GTL win     and to the rest of the podium

Laurie

I would like to be there racing with you Bill but these races are to long for me.  50 minutes is unfortunately my limit.

Laurie

I enjoyed last nights race, particularly during the first few laps when Bill and I battled away.  Hope I wasn't anything to do with your retirement Bill.

Grats to the podium and thanks to the "overtakers" for being considerate to us 'slower' types.

Laurie

Manteos,  your best bet is to see if any of your friends has a Thrustmaster steering wheel as they produce some where you can switch to paddles instead of pedals.   I have an old Thrustmaster Modena 360 and have never used pedals because after a few laps I get cramp.  Unfortunately they no longer make the Modena 360 I have and the one I use now was bought at a car boot sale.

Laurie

Hope this is a typo or I'm 1min 5sec off the pace

Sounds like this could be a great Team event - especially if there is a spread of ability in each Team (maybe based on last seasons Token ability ratings).

Because of the need for a pit stop I prefer to drive the Mustang as it will give me a chance to take on some oxygen.  So if you decide to allocate people to Teams, Legzy, please keep this in mind.  Although I thoroughly enjoyed last nights race, 45 minutes non stop pushed me to the limit.
