Had to check in-game because I couldn't even remember what a GT2 car looked like  Is the RSR any good or has it been neutered like next door's cat? |

QS, i think the top gear track is a figure of eight style circuit, so if you tried racing on it you would end up crashing into each other

It's a Porka, so I'm sure it'll be more than competative  QS, i think the top gear track is a figure of eight style circuit, so if you tried racing on it you would end up crashing into each other
We did do a GTL double header fun race there once, as long as the races are short I think it would be fine exciting!  |

The server was still running Albert Park. Sorry about that. It is now on Barcelona. I am not familiar with the top gear test track. It does look a bit tight for racing on TV. The figure of 8 thing cold cause issues as well. I need to spend a little bit of time to find out a few things about a circuit before we can start using it. Mainly, that the authors have not ripped off someones work without permission. There are a few tracks that I intend to have a look at when I find the time. The one I am most interested in at the moment is the Austin, Texus F1 track. |

Great turnout tonight, shame my lack of practice left me in no mans land, off pace of the quick folk & comfortabley ahead for the chasing pack. Still, I did get time to have my usual chuckle when behind Spanner's Porka early on: I got a better exit from the final bend, I tucked in for a lovely toe & I had lower wing settings (as I learnt on TS)... all that advntage was enough for me to keep up down the straight  Can't wait to see what H@L's got lined up for us next week? |

A better than expected race for me, but still not convinced I've got the hang of these GT2s. Had a good quali and thought I'd be able to put some pressure on TT during the race, but it was not to be. Was managing to keep ahead of a chasing nsfast and MJ when I made a noobie error and planted it in the inside wall coming off the final bend  My bimmer felt a bit used after that and I was unable to make back any ground. Well done TT and pody  |
