nice car/track combo

I had the chance to go round Donington last week (although only on a mountain bike). it was a charity bike ride. So after being a spectator there for 22 years (and seeing group A RS500's/supertouring/F1/DTM/GT1's) i finally got on the track myself and experianced Craner curves!

Here is a photo from the top of craner & Macleans (well fingers crossed as this is the first time i have tried putting a picture on this site)

Thanks for that. Just changed the P&G event to correct AGTC event. BTW your GTR2 lobby file on the server is pointing to the Official Simbin lobby which is why you won't see it where your looking.

I can't get on using the lobby file "gtr2server1.gtr-evolution.com"

The only one that works for me is "file.bier-buden.de"

using the original one gives me a message invalid username / password I will have to try and fix it

Scratch that re-registered and now it works but still cant find our server. can someone please tell me which lobby file I should be using. Chears.

Results and replay now uploaded

Sorry for the delay in posting the results.

Driving the Viper made me realize how out of practice I am in the thing at the moment.

My first proper win! (i won an f1 88 race last year, but that felt a bit hollow as it was not a level playing field as i was in the faster car than everyone else)

i was surprised to be able to keep pace with the others, i started to make a few mistakes near the end of the race as the tyres went off and the pressure was getting to me, then spanner passed me on the last lap but i managed to outbrake him and get past at the melbourne hairpin. a bit of a late braking manoevre but managed to pull it up without running wide.
