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.

Sorry guys - will have to skip this one  surprising visitor.

Have fun - see you on Thursday

We waiting in lobby after you disco Tony.. restart or call it?

Well thank you Tony, but from my end it wasn't anything special . Other than a good amount of laps at this track from the past and the fact that the Merc seemed to be in it's element here. With it's light weight and low power it wasn't affected by the cobblestone nearly as much as the others. The big Maserati was truly diabolical here  . Other than that the Merc really seemed to have a nice turn in behavior that allow me to take a quick set turning in and than you could really hustle it through the middle of the turn. Plus on exit with it's low power you didn't have to modulate the throttle much and just mash it! One more thing is some tracks just fit ones driving styles and for some reason I've always gotton on well here. In contrast one track that I can't seem to figure out is Brno in GTR2. When I am almost always faster then certain drivers at most if not all other tracks by a second or two it's just the opposite when we are at Brno where I'm off their pace by a second or so .
  Too bad for the low turnout but thank you both Tony and Matt for the race and I'm glad we did soldier through and all of us finished .

We are missing you too  

Next year (Season 13) all the GTL races will be on Monday nights. The Tuesday night events we run as a bonus, to see if the Fifties mod would have any appeal. Happily it does so it will be a regular feature amongst next years action packed schedule.
I'm definately going to try to take part in your next GPL Novice league, just don't hold it on Monday's!
Anyone else want to experience 1960's style open wheel racing. These days it has some good mods and gizmo's that let you enjoy GPL on modern PC equipment. I'm sure BB will be happy to give you all the info you need to get up and running quickly. It would be great if I had some company in GPL from the ranks of GTL.
