And it's still faster than the 16volt Escorts. Handicapping drivers is a bit emotive. "If" I had the time, I would run one of the series with some sort of handicapping so if you get into the 1st 6 in the championship you have to drive a slower car, like Tony did last year I barely find time to create races, so anything else will have to wait.  |

Yes Alessandro, the BMW 3.3 12v and Porche RSR 2.8 It should really just be the BMW but Matt can never resist the temptation to stuff another Porsche in where it isn't wanted.  |

And, as usual I will probably regret it Ideally we will get a 50/50 split of cars... I live in hope, (which is in Derbyshire) |

Ok guys. I get a CTD when at start of the loading screen (track). Changed resolution and DX settings already. And tried both download links.
Anyone suggestions what it might be? Thanks
EDIT: just rebooting my pc did the trick today. Track loads fine now..

I often get a problem when the game is booting up, just before the picture of the Alfa on its ear! The screen flashes (desktop) and then comes up with a message to say that there has been an error. I have found that deleting a track or two usually cures it. It usually happens just after installing a new track but there doesn't seem to be any set number of tracks that it objects to.  |

I also have got exactly the same issue. Possible a memory issue (still running XP with 3,7 Mb of internal memory...). Funny thing is that in PnG v2 I didn't have this issue. |

I'm also still on XP, and v2 gave me the same problem.
Incidentally, trying to choose between these two cars is akin to trying to choose between a broken arm or a broken leg!

Err ... there is two different versions of 12V BMW so choose wisely ... on the other hand I don`t need to be wise because I`ll take Porsche.

I had the pleasure of doing a short practice session today. Nice track, it is fun and challenging. The BMW that I drove was not the fastest 3.3 litre, but the skin looked nicer. Seems like a common theme in PnGv3.
Regarding the 911, I recently read some setup advice that might help an aspiring Porsche driver. Malcolm Reynolds from the NG WNR said, "if you can't reduce the oversteer anymore at the rear, it's time to increase understeer at the front Sounds counter productive but it balances the car out. High 'slow rebound' damper settings at the rear will help control a twitchy rear end though

I will stick with "drive it properly" like Porsche should be driven and that means to use throttle to ballance understeer/oversteer. Slight lift off (or just lift off - depends on situation) to cure understeer and full throttle to cure oversteer ... Idea behind this is that, if you lift off, you don`t have enough load on rear tires to fight heavy tail because of mass transfer ... |
