Ah great 

I'll join soon. Not done a single lap of practice though 

I think there may have been a Steam RRE dedi server update today.  I see one on the RC dedi server (42mb update).

If you load up steam on your dedi, and look at 'Library' > 'tools' > RaceRoom Dedicated Server, it should say if an update is needed.

Good Luck.

A late in the day decision saw me jump in to join in the action.  Took the Ford as I struggle with the Turbo's, but it was a bit down on top end speed.

Great fun though.  Eck and I were close for most of the race. Late on, I thought I was maybe closing in, but then Kai had a small spin in his Nissan and recovered between us, which saw a bit of time lost.

RRE is coming along really well. Time permitting, I'll join a few more (but time is an issue).

Well done all.

Great.

Yes, I'd seen the posters back in December, and did a plug in the RC forums: http://www.raceconnect.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=390&t=6302

I'll add GTL to the Calendar for Mondays shortly (time permitting).

Great to see the LM55 and Trans-Am grids with really strong numbers. I'd love to get involved in some (again, time permitting),

No problem. It'd be great if a few can race.

Let me know if the link doesn't go live for you.  I'm sure I'd set it all to public, rather than registered.

If the link worked, you'd see THIS. If that links works 

Great. Thx Tony.

I've added a promo type poster, with a link to the SROUK page HERE. Note: you need to click on the 'Blue event' on the calendar to see the poster.

I've just used some generic RRE pics of various Historic RRE cars. Hope that's ok, and set it to the end of the year.

I'd happily do the same for the GTL events on Monday.

Yes, it's a real shame, but the numbers just weren't there at RC. I could have given it more time I guess, but with you guys running it too, it might be better to pool the effort (That said, Thursdays is always tricky for me)

What I'd like to do is add the RRE events to the RaceConnect Thursday calendar, so that our members can at least see what's happening here, and maybe join in.

I know I'd far rather be in 1 race with a decent sized grid.

I'll try to get some kind of 'promo art' done for the Thursday events here and stick it on our calendar.

I see this championship appears to complete at the end of Feb.  What are the plans for March onwards, any ideas?  Don't want to do  promo poster for DTM, and find it's Grp5's in a few weeks.

Hi All,

Apologies I've been away a while.

I upgraded my PC last year, and didn't immediately re-install GPL (the last time I'd done it, I recalled it was a pa-lava, but this time, it went really well....I should have done it ages ago  Embarrassed ). Anyway, It's all up and running now I hope  Smiley

Ideally, I'd like to try to join for the final 3 rounds of the season.  I see there's the 2 leagues running again (Pro & Novice), and I'll go wherever, but if given a choice, I'd rather chase the fast guys in Pro (that said...when I drove Novice....I found myself chasing the fast guys there too  Grin) .

Hopefully I'll be there tomorrow if there's room.

Amateurs might be where I need to go.  Just joined the Syracuse server and was about 10secs off the pace, on a 90 second lap.

Maybe for the last 3 races of the season I'll go Am, and then see for next season.

ok, well Amateurs might be where I need to go.  Just joined the Syracuse server and was about 10secs off the pace, on a 90 second lap.

I really don't want to end up getting in people's way at the end of the season, being way off the pace.

I'd meant to do some of the WSC 70 mod races this year, but 'free time' has been against me.  The LM55 mod for GTL...makes me find free time.  

I'd tried a few laps in each car over the weekend, and found all 3 to be pretty well matched. Opted for the Jag.

In the race I could match the pace of those up ahead, and could only rely on knocking in consistent laps and see where it got me.  I'd started the race full with fuel and knew it'd get me 28 laps into the race.  Wasn't sure on tyre wear, but figured by half distance I'd know how wear was looking.

Exited the pits in P2, with Bill and Coyote/Erling close behind, and with better pace.  Pleased with P4 in the end, and gratz to Geoffers, Bil and Coyote on the podium.

I like longer races with pit/fuel/tyre strategy. I did practice a couple of off-line pit-stops.  I tested and re-mapped my pit buttons before the race and all worked fine for me (i have a wheel button set which I use for pit options in other sims, but GTL doesn't like it, so for GTL i just use the keyboard up/left/down/right arrows.  Though I agree that it's scary seeing the pit-crew looking pretty uninterested while the stop is in progress.  Pity there's not a timer or something to re-assure that something's happening.  At least at the end of the pit a notification happens, with the timer showing the pit length, so you know it's time to go. :-)

It's a time thing.

I'd hoped to race in the WSC70 series here, but am busy elsewhere all too often.

Hi All.

Yes, I'll be at this one as well.

All 3 cars seem pretty evenly matched, so hopefully there'll be a mix of cars on the grid.

I've sent a couple of pm's around, so hopefully we might get a couple of new names join us for this one (Welcome Bill  ).

Once the race started, it all went as well as it could for me.  A great couple of early laps close behind Goldtop. I wasn't going to try, or close enough to try) any risky pass early on, so followed, and was able to keep up.

After I got ahead, was able to keep, and just stretch the lead.  I'd considered the Ferrari 375 for this event, also based on its stats in the menu, but as I found to my cost @ Monza, the 375 doesn't live up to its promise on the fast straights.

Despite what's said about it being lonely on track, I really enjoy just getting the car around Spa anyway, the challenge of keeping the momentum through the sweeps is fun enough, especially when you know you'ew 1 error away from losing the lead, though of course, a bigger grid would be even better.

It'd be a real shame to have no LM55 mod running at UKGTL, as its my favorite mod for the GTL sim at the moment. 

Thanks all for the racing

So sorry, but i'll be missing this one again tonight  .

I hope to make as many as I can of the remaining rounds, but my 'real life' calendar has conspired against me for this season.
