Grid/server capacity: 28 Practice: ~19:20 (60 mins) Qualifying: 20:20 (20 mins) Race: 20:40 (26 laps) Track: Lime Rock Mountain Download thisCars allowed: American V8's pack Download this Chevrolet Camaro SS Dodge Charger Ford Falcon Sprint 351 Ford Mustang TA Mercury Cougar TA Plymouth Roadrunner Pontiac GTO Shelby GT500 Time of Day Setting: 14:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: Normal Server: simracing.org.uk Mondays Password: see aboveNotes: (1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage. (2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read Autopit="0" Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable. (4) Driver lists can be found on the Championship standings pageSpecial Notes: The most popular car will be dropped from the remainder of the series.

Brake pedal stripped, cleaned and re-assembled and it still works . Re-configered in GTL and tested last night; seems ok so far. Taken my graphic details down one notch but had a lock-up ingame at the garage menu screen when I was setting fuel amount for praccy so that doesn't bode well Still did a full race against the AI (who were very quick ) and finished the race without any screen lockups. Will keep fingers crossed for Monday night. Care to share a time Erling? (don't have to say which car tho )

Updated camera file: The TV view in replays is rather hopeless in the included version - half the time, the view is obscured by trees. NoGrip has an update for it: http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=5173It's found under GTR2, but works for GTL as well. It's MUCH better than the original one. Cheers, Erling

I have no doubt he'll whoop our collective asses on Monday... Cheers, Erling

LOL only looked at this event last night. I thought I knew the track from GPL races, although it is similar there are some differences in the distances between bends and angles of the inclines I'm sure.
Tried a couple of cars for about 5 laps each and the quickest was the Shelby at around 1:54- 1:53, with the others at 1:55. Even Chargers need a little love and I got that around in 1:55 too. But, it did seriously abuse the front left tyre, so I'm not sure I could maintain that as race pace and survive!!
None of the laps was perfect, so there might be some more time in banzai lap but these cars eat tyres I have come to realise, so it is a case of pacing yourself for the race.........I am away fro the weekend so unlikely to get much more practice until qually on Monday.
