UKPnG Season 8 Grand Touring Championship - Mid-America - Aug 8 (Was Jul 11)

[Alessandro Tancioni]

sorry mates, but i ll miss this race...

cu to thruxton

[John Burrowes]

I just did five or six laps here. Love this track! Very well made it is. Top quality.

Will very likely attend - if I can get to 45 or less. Managed 48 and change just now - in the Escort.

[John Burrowes]

Doh! I went out with 71 litres! That's enough for nearly double race length. I'll find out tomorrow how much dropping the load to qualifying level gains me in speed. Three or four seconds I hope!

[Clive Loynes]

The Mustang is loads of fun but I can't see me keeping tyres on it long enough to be competitive.

[Mark J]

Finally got myself into the low-mid 1:40 mark in the 911, after a lesson in frustration!    But i'm faster in everything else 

[John Burrowes]

Ummm. If we have to pit for anything we're kind of blind coming back on to the track. What's the policy? Anyone passing the pit exit should be prepared to keep right as they turn on to the front straight? Or maybe if the exit light, which I can't say for sure I've noticed whether there is one, is green we can assume no one is coming and just exit at speed?

Probably more relevant in quali as it is easy to impede someone's hot lap if care isn't taken on exiting pitlane.

I always run with the driver tabs on as it makes it easier to spot approaching cars. Make sure you have your rearward and sideward glance buttons mapped and use them down the pitlane and on exit.

Generally rejoining the track after a pitstop is part of the race and it's up to both drivers to battle it out (within reason). However, if you stop during this race it's most likely that any approaching cars will be about to lap you, so care should be taken not to impede them (unless of course it's any of those Soggy Bottoms  ).

Hope this helps.

Hello folks. My name is Stefan aka Postal.  After running a couple of GTL races on the Monday evenings with much pleasure, I decided to take the leap and start in P&G also.
So, if it is OK , I will be attending the race tonight.

[Mark J]

Welcome postal, more the merrier to fill out the vintage grids 

[Walter Conn]

Most of my laps are in the 1:41s, but I was able to get into the 1:40s once or twice.
All of my practice has been with the Ford Escort RS because I already had a set-up for it.
If I had more time, I would do some laps in the Capri.
Nice Track!
I hope to be there for the race,
Walter

[Mogget]

If Mogget runs with the 302 for e.g
his times will be quite a bit faster than any Flying Pig

I prefer to get some more practice in the Escorts, and see if I can improve my speed in them. The handling of the Boss 302 Mustang can feel a bit strange at some tracks, although it feels OK here.

[Legzy]

I can't get on the server, everytime it loads "Moggot2" my game crashes!
Have tried about 5 times & in different cars.
Can somebody ask moggart to try a different car skin please?

[Stefan aka Postal]

Mmmm i am getting CTD while loading other players. Is there some file(s) that i am missing??

Edit: what he said

[Legzy]

Please anybody who gets in, it seems something about Moggart or his car choice is blocking other racers. He needs to change car as a first step to hopefully solve.

[phspok]

i have asked mog to use a different skin, but he is using the broadspeed escort. not been a problem before
lots of others have joined ok, kurt had to set dx to auto or he gets ctd
and Les Neilson is using the same car
