UKPnG Season 8 Limited Car Challenge - Imola - Mar 14

[Legzy]

Maybe try removing your profile from the userdata folder (move it to alternate folder), then start PnG.
If it's doesn't load, just stick your profile back.
If it does load, close PnG normally (without creating a new profile) & then stick your profile back in the user data folder.
If it loads "cool" & if it doesn't then the problem is in your profile.

Thanks Chris.

Yep, getting rid of me enables it to run but kind of defeats the object.

What do you think that it is it about me that is causing the problem? (Please try to stay on subject here!    )

I think there's a list of recent tracks in the PLR file (or one of the other files in the profile folder). I had a similar thing with mine a while ago and ended up copying & pasting bits from my old profile to a new one. I never narrowed it down enough to find out exactly what the problem was, but perhaps look for that track list and remove or replace it with whatever is in the new profile.

Awesome car, awesome track    I've had the pleasure of walking this parkland track, amazing place, would love to take my own car on it someday.

2:03.5 Race fuel for me so far

Seems to be something in the PLR file.

Not found out what yet.

Want to do it..see how GTWeb Qualy plays out

Awesome car, awesome track   

Car is ok but the track is full of poxy chicanes!

Someone sort out Santa Pod for Clive for the next race, I get the distinct impression you like the most powerful car on the straightest track possible   
The one chicane I have always struggled with here is the one at the top of he hill, it can be a right bugger lap after lap and even spoil your race if it turns you around.

Don't want to see any corner cutting here chaps! We will be watching

Actually I don't think you have to worry that much about corner cutting here.

First of all, regular racers in these series don't cheat on purpose.

Secondly you'll get a warning and eventually a 'stop and go' if you try cutting in any of the 3 spots on this track where it would really matter;  including the tricky chikane you mentioned.

If we are to police everyone going wide at some point in this race, I think we'll have to invite at least one more Italian for the race

Corners are fine.  Just want to see more than four inches of straight between them!

A chicane is a circuit designer's admission of failure!!!!!

[Manteos]

LOL Stig  

I should be able to join this one after a long time!

I just finished a small training session of about 20 mins, and I really like this combo! In race trim I should be able to keep a pace near the mid/high 2.01 at the moment (without cutting ), but I'm sure I can go down a little bit more. Someone will be on the server this evening?ù

Can't wait for the race! Cu chaps!

[Wiltshire Tony]

I'll be in Dorset enjoying a fine dining experience  , have a good'n.

I had a word with Mirko Tomassoni, the current Captain of the "Most Serene Republic of San Marino"
and asked him if they could remove the chicanes because the famous (in his own lunchtime)
racing driver Clive Loynes didn't like them.... 

His reply, after he'd spun his wheelchair round a few times as he laughed his haddock off
was untranslatable by Google

I didn't find the time to practice a single lap in this Imola version so far, but still, generally speaking, I have to agree with Clive's words:

"A chicane is a circuit designer's admission of failure"

It's funny cause it's true!

Either way, I like Imola. For me, the more twisted and technical the track, the merrier!

EDIT: oops, I thought this was the 94 layout. So, it's the default Imola... yes, I can confirm that I've had few.. some.. many.. plenty of laps round this track!

Worked my way through the PLR file and found that something in the [Game Options] was causing the hang up.

However, the car now sits in the garage, leaping about like a jelly on springs, and refuses to budge when I put it 1st and let the clutch out.

I think a complete re-install may be needed.
