Unexpected nirvana in lap 4 just behind Bruennchen ended my race  . Very smooth drive with some mistakes and a new pb of 10:4.9 in lap three. Grats to all finishers. Thanks Tony for organizing this one as these cars are real fun to drive here  |

Well - had some adventures joining and couldn't find the cut back so no time for a qually lap. Knew the layout from GPL but it IS subtly different and I missed the sharp corner under the bridge... so did Eiffelblitz but his generosity in staying with me finished there. Lap 2 and I launched into outer space with some weird cloud effect... fun though.
Tough one for the novice Paul, so well done for giving it a go. |

You should all give it a go in 65's GPL - so much the same and SOOO different  |

Paul, if I had known you would take the mini I'd have shared my setup. Yeah I'd love to do the Nords in GPL. Don't think I'd finish a lap tho.

Nice fun race. Started well battling with Bill till his car impacted a road sign and with Kurt. In fact Kurt and I kept swapping places due to errors/offs etc. However I kept turning the car over at the same spot, three times in a row (new level of stupid for me). The third time I lost a rear wheel so had to do half a lap as a 3 wheeler. Pitted and finished eventually. How nice of Matt and Goldtop to wait for me to get home (almost 75% of a lap) before chatting and leaving. Real Gentlemen drivers, thanks chaps.

I still can't get my head round the chat - do you guys just type a message into that screen that has set messages? And where is the chat? I find the post race chat an essential part of GPL and I would love to join in in GTL but I couldn't work out where it was. Mind you, took me a while to work out that the password was 'classic' as I was trying to use 'the usual practice password'....  |

Good one. GT and I were similar pace and it was just a question of who took longest to get back on the track over and over Had some great chases, and finished just 4 tenths apart! I have XD but no lap count, so I'm following GT down the final straight thinking, "right I'll have a go at him on the next lap" and as we went over the finish the race ended!  Default chat key is "C" but I have foolishly mapped C to clutch, so every time I try to chat the car slows down and the engine screams..... |

To chat whilst in the pits look for the "CHAT" button located under (bottom right) the drivers list area of the screen. I have no idea how guys type chat and drive at the same time. |

Thanks Tony. This series really does deserve a bigger following and I will see if I can get some of the GPLers to come to. Tracks are familiar and the cars drive rather like the GPL cars albeit somewhat slower. Interesting journey trying to learn how to control both types to the limit.

...so I'm following GT down the final straight thinking, "right I'll have a go at him on the next lap" and as we went over the finish the race ended! Hehe, and I was thinking "Fubb, that was the race end wasn't it?"  I lost all my ffb as we went to grid and found it difficult to judge how hard to push which caused a few errors. My xd was also playing up with Matt showing as DNF all race, so I had no way of knowing gaps between us during the race. Didn't realise you drove with no ffb all the time Matt |

I have it enabled, but very light, sometimes (game and which PC I am on dependent) it's hardly there at all.

Available as a digital download on Steam (£4.99) and gets you straight to the Simbin lobby (where we race). Just need to add the unlock everything/loads of money fix, brighter headlamps and your good to go. XD can then be added once everything else is tested and OK. |
