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.
(3) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings page
(4) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: None

That will certainly be a challenge with these beasts

Yes Alex, the date is correct. Due to Holidays I moved this race forward a week. It was announced in the post race post's after Avus.

Tried this track this afternoon. It is very exciting.

Boy Howdy!!!When I saw this track for these cars I thought But like this place very much so this should be some very challenging fun

[BillThomas]

That's why I didn't know about it! 

Help, uninstalled original cars, installed latest, and unzipped fixes into GTL.  Have all cars except DBR 2, in my garage OK but not available to drive - seem to remember this sort of problem before.  Help please?   

[Wiltshire Tony]

You need to buy the car to drive it

Bought car, it's in my garage but not available for me to drive.  Tried selling it and buying different cars - still no go. I don't see any DBR 2s in the available cars only the rest of the mid fifties cars, including the rest of the pack un-bougthen.

You may need to tick class GTC-65 (Or tick everything!).

THe Aston Martin DBR-2's did need the class adding but I thought it was already done in the nogrip release of the mod, which is what you should have.

Check in the .CAR file for one of the Astons if there is a class GTC-65 showing (near the bottom of the file). You can open .CAR files with Notepad.

Thanks Tony, it was missing, copied SIM_GTC65, from DBR 1 and pasted into the DBR 2 cars, fine all cars now shown.

No time for practicing yet - still working on my PC  .

But certainly will use the 4,5 L Maserati again - maybe trying the DBR2.

Looking forward to this one.

Are there any setups available?

Still not being able to revive the online setup database for both games GTL and GTR/P&G

No track time yet but tried using Jag and the drama continues.. Still getting the "car not present on server" and dropping back to lobby. Thought I did the update and collision fix but did them again and no help. Hmm... OK .. Deleted Jag. Installed new 1.0 version added collision fix then 1.1 update. Still no help. Tried again with 1.1 update first then collision fix still no help . At a loss here. But I know it's late and I was not really planning on using it here so as long as it doesn't mess anyone else using it and on my end I could see them just fine at Avus just leave well enough alone for now and figure it out later. Heh... < in my best Canadian accent...
