GTL Flat Caps - Jaguar EType Fun Race - Jan 5th

[Adam Parle]

I'll be there for this, don't know what times I'm getting round there though, not done much driving in the Shaguar.

Same here Adam, always seems to be the 1st car I lap though in single player, and they look so big and ponderous, mind you the coppers used em back in the 60's so they must have a bit of go in them.

I think you're getting your Jags mixed up ... tonights race is in the E-type, your thinking about the Sweeny-esque Jag in the bottom class - which has lots of poke but also weighs in at about the same as the moon.

Any sensible setup comming?

Any sensible setup comming? 

There is one setup in the online folder for the E-type, if I remember correctly, with which I drove a low 16.

The other Jag in the game is a MkII, as driven by Inspector Morse!

[Clarey]

Don't worry about being slow, i can still only do 1.18.9 best

I'll have a look for that setup

with which I drove a low 16.

Jeez, is it worth me even turning up ...a 1:16 !?  I'd like to find that setup!

[Truetom]

I tried it. And I'm close to throwing the disc into the trash can. I'll not sell it, someone may curse my name. Why would I wanna drive a cow that looks like a car?!         

I'm not sure I wanna race in GTL at all anymore. 

[Aagramn]

What's the problem Tom?

[fozzmeister]

LOL TT, The EType is meant to be a british classic car, I think its more like a boat tho, infact all the British cars are poo in GTL IMHO.

Hey dont worry about being slow, I just cant do a quick lap in any gtl car but its still fun.

[Truetom]

Hell, I'm slow, doesn't bother me. It's several things: car being undrivable, can't turn the thing and when I do, it keeps turning. Mostly, though, it's not my style, GTR suits me better.

Been practicing, made car drivable, but just can't make it under 1:18. Lost patience, see you later, I hope.

it feels like it is on sand or something to me

should be fun tonight

also the brakes are RUBBISH

[Aagramn]

It's a learning curve Tom. I found driving around Dijon in the demo frustrating as I found the cars unpredictable. After spending a lot of time with the game I understand them better and they feel really connected. One of the great strengths of the game is the way different driving styles are required for different cars. I found learning in the Cortina to be really helpful as it's so forgiving to drive.

Dijon isn't my favorite track, I can't quite work out how to take the long fiddly corners and I'm never sure if I've managed a decent lap until I cross the line.
