The servers been on Anderstorp north since last week, and for some weird reason says i dont have that track installed, so gonna do some offline practise until 19:40 today, then try getting on the simracing server...  fingers crossed i finish the race today (even in last would be nice)  Roll Eyes
If the server shows a different track to the one your expecting YOU HAVE THE WRONG TRACK LOADED. No exceptions. Check it installed into the correct folder.

If you don't have the track the server's running installed, it will display another track name in its place. Usually the first one in alphabetical order of the ones you've installed, iirc.

I was on the server earlier and it was as expected. Probably worth double checking that you have the right version, it needs to be the 2011 one.

That seems right to me (not 100% sure on the install path since I keep mine on a secondary drive, looks right for default though).
Have you tried "run as administrator" on the installer?

yep thats the one i have, just been practising offline on it, so its installed, will it run offline but not online.. ive uninstalled it three times since last week and redownloaded it twice, hmm.. ill give it another go

im installing the track to this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\GT Legends

Track = SRou_GTL_Silverstone_2011_1.1.0.0

 Huh Undecided :'(

The track should be in your Locations folder and be called 11Silverstone. And why did you wait until race night to mention this?

umm k, even though the server says its on anderstrop north, and were racing on silverstone... (ive just practised offline on silverstone gp so its installed ok) very bizzare !  Roll Eyes
The Anderstorp tracks are standard and come with GTL. The server is showing it because it cannot find the correct track when you join. It has to show something so it picks a random standard track.

well that was a pants race, false barrier detection on one of the marker posted corners caused me to spin, then my tyres went off (cos of the spin i expect) then tried pushing to catch up resulting in lap after lap of corner cut detections running wide coming out of bends lol, end result in a dnf because i got sick of pitting for cut track and decided seeing as i was last anyways a cuppa would be more beneficial !  laugh

It was shaping up to be a nice race, starting from the back because of some pc troubles again. Chasing Erling for 4th place and with Clive some 10 sec ahead  i was giving it my all when i went over a curb to much. Resulting in a spin, damaging the Ford. Managed to spin in front of Tony, luckely without hitting anyone. Nursed it to the finish.
Congrats to the podium!

Bit of a mixed bag, this race.

Had a hard time deciding on a car, as none of them felt 'truly good'.  Fancied the Nissan as one of the nicest there, but when it shaped up to be a Ford fest, I decided to join the party - have to use it sometime. 

New pb in praccy and qualy, but still far off the pace.  Started in 6th and gained a position. Narrowly avoided a spinning Clive on L1, and then traded places a few times with Geezer on a mission - too much of a mission possibly, as he ran wide a few times, making it easy for me to get past. Was in 4th, which was upgraded to 3rd, free of charge, when Tibernius left very early on.

Was soon caught by Clive. He could corner much faster, as I had no answer to the Escort's terminal understeer, so he quickly got past and disappeared towards the horizon.
Next, Postal slowly reeled me in over a number of laps. Let him past when he caught me, dropping me to 5th in the process. He extended the lead over the next number of laps, but then fell off, so I regained 4th.  Expected him to catch me again, but it didn't happen, so hung on to 4th till the finish.

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

Grats to podium and all finishers; great to see a large turnout.

Cheers,
Erling

Good race if a little lonely, and even more so for Dimitrio. I neutered the wayward mini as much as I could
and managed to keep it pointing in the right direction for a change  Roll Eyes
I gave up with the Escort and 911 as they would both swap ends on a whim under braking for me
so put my brave hat on and took the mini, and it worked well here. Couldn't keep up with Dimitrio who
was 2 or 3 secs a lap faster, and managed to hold off Clive at around 17 sec to the end  Grin

That was a race full of surprises for me.

I did not have time to try the Porker, so had no idea if it would be quick, although I know I could not have matched Dimetrio's blistering pace. I was also shocked at matt's pace in the mini on such a fast track, he must have been hurling that little car at the corners!!!! Shocked

Biggest surprise was that I had some competitive pace in the Escort after a couple of short practice sessions over the weekend and almost constant tweaking to a) get rid of that horrible initial under5steer and b) control the snap oversteer on corner exit.
I thought that Erling was sandbagging in practice and quali when I appeared to be almost a whole second up on pace??!! The start went well for the first 2 corners and I thought I might even hang on to the fast boys in front for a few laps until......... I just went a fraction too tight to the apex in T3 and clipped one of those poles!!!  That fired me out across the track and I just about prevented a stalled engine ( something I HAVE got to grips with!) I rejoined in last place with the pack scuttling into the distance blink blink blink

The next 10 laps were great fun, but involved driving that Escort right on the edge, as I slowly closed down each car in turn and picked my passing place, or profited from small excursions and mistakes ahead. Sorry to confess, but I was intent on hunting down Erling's blue Escort that I could see way ahead. Gradually it loomed larger and I seemed to gain under braking for the tight corners where Erling was struggling with his understeer. Actually my good friend Coyote timed a mistake just perfectly and ran wide at Luffield just as i was thinking about having a go at him... and I was through into 3rd spot.

I did close the gap to Matt's mini down to almost 10 secs at one point and maybe had I not screwed up the first lap we might have had a good dice, but if I tried to catch him i was in danger of throwing 3rd place away. So I concentrated on maintaining the gap back to 4th and watching the fuel for the last 5 laps.

I was actually quite pleased with the setup for the Escort as despite really pushing hard for 75% of the race I was still in the "green" for all tyres at the end. Only just in the green at the front  Roll Eyes but prolly 75% of rubber left on the rear.
happy to share the setup if anyone is desperate enough to want it...... Wink

Well, as stated above; new pb in praccy and qualy - and new pb again in race. Sandbagging? Not really...  Wink  (And you were 1.5 secs up on pace..)

Simple fact is I'm not fast at all in these cars - being ahead in the Championship is just a temporary fluke.

As I have two more rounds to go in the Escort, I'd be more than happy to try your setup (Desperate?   Oh yes!  Grin)

Cheers,
Erling

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.
