Thanks Tony I enjoyed that, once I'd sorted out which starting line was which.  Wife is always commenting how unobservant I am - realised the real start/finish line was one with 4 green lights on.  Roll Eyes

Also found out that I could reduce under steer in slow corners by going much deeper than usual and sort of tweaking car into over steer and using the throttle to straighten up around the corner. Amazingly I see my total race time average speed is faster than my qualifying time with new PBs chasing Kurt and finally the best chasing SortedGeeza before he eventually retired. Made an error in the fast sweeping section on lap 18  oops and took some time sorting myself out resulting in being lapped for 2nd time, which I feel I would have avoided otherwise.


Thanks to Bill for helping me past, when I caught him late in the race.  Sorry I didn't flash my usual thank you. I was in the process of braking and downshifting at the time - that's already one task more than I'm supposed to be able to do simultaneously as a man, so I figured adding a 3rd would be pushing it..  Wink

Cheers,
Erling

Thanks Erling but I didn't notice it, I was too busy trying to get back more on the line for corner and trying to ensure I didn't hit you as well as going down 3 cogs in gearbox.  Grin rockon

All I can say, that I practiced a bit with BMW for this race. But when entered the server I saw that BMW will be too much for this company. And I've decided to change for Porsche, as I thaught that it will be slower comparing to BMW at Silverstone and I'm not rear-engine master and have not tried this car here. So quali turned for me into first practice runs on Porkey with random clicking setup. But things turned so that Porkey have it's own useful abilities and not bad pace. Good car.

Thx for the race, gentlemens.

I'm sure everyone feels a lot better knowing that you set a blistering race pace in a car you hadn't practised with or driven at this track before  Wink  Lord only knows how quick you would have been in the Beemer  Shocked

Yet again my practise pace evaporated the moment I went online on race night  Angry

Must apologise to Postal (I think) for the tap at Club. Don't think you lost too much time but it must of been a bit annoying for you at the time.

Much of my race was spent being chased and overtaken by an extremely quick jmtautau in his Porsche, then watching him lose it at various places around the circuit, and waiting for him to catch and pass me again.

Good looking decent sized grid last night.  thumbup2

I'm already testing at Hockenheim  angel

I was hurling the mini at the corners, my setup allowed me to drive the nuts off it
a little power on through the corners meant it went round the fast corners way better
and could brake later than the escorts, the 10 secs was because I went a bit wide
a couple of times, and lost some time, but was always able to open up the gap
again, if slowly. Would have been good to have had a close race Clive, but forgive me for not waiting   Grin

First time I felt some kind of comfortable with the Skyline.
Started practicing on Dunlops, felt better with Avons and eventually
started the race on Goodyears  Roll Eyes.
7th on the grid, better start than usual and some nice laps - fun!
Had three consecutive laps under 2:32 (incl. new PB) which made
me happy. Then some of my usual mistakes and two cut warnings
within one lap (one of them when I was loosing the car - sometimes
I do not understand the "game management"  Sad.
Some laps later I got a third one including the stop&go penalty,
completely lost concentration and destroyed my suspension by loosing
the right rear tyre.

But this was a better one for me.

Thanks to all involved for organizing! Higly appreciated.  Smiley

HELP

Lost G25 wheel setting can't change control setting, do I just click left  mouse button to change - doesn't work.

Tried changing PRL file with a one that was working when I copied and saved it but that doesn't work.

Wheel OK and GTR2 drives OK.

Seems to be just a GTL problem.

Tried running through steam but that says probem with exe file.  Tried their solution but can't get the file to run.

Suggestions please.
