Hello I'm nick marks friend ndhiggs. Sorry I didn't realise I had to sign up here before racing but I'm here now. Really enjoyed my first race last night. And hoping to get more envolved in the future

Didnt have much practise here so i chose a familiar car, slapped on a decent setup and off i went.. In practise i used race setup and seemed to be competative and thought i had it in the bag, but then in qually reinhard slapped in a 1'27.7... I cant match the awsome power of that gtr here.. So i ended up qualifying 2nd..

A good start saw me steal 1st place from reinhard and every lap there after was a nose to tail battle for the lead! What i gained in corners was soon destroyed on the straights!! I could be wrong but i think every lap reinhard was between 0.2 and 0.8 seconds behind me lap after lap.. Finishing a whole 0.780 behind!

Was a tough race for me, and i bloody well enjoyed it! Good racing reinhard!! Look forward to the next one.. Hopefully its on a track more suited to my little sls

Picnic, do you have Malwarebytes or some other anti-malware running cause since I stopped that before running AC I haven't had a crash again?

I don't run anything like that. I've just had a look in Event Viewer and it appears the nVidia display driver is the culprit. Looking on the Internet there are quite a few having similar problems with the new drivers. Seems nVidia might have found a problem and a hotfix is imminent. Sadly due to nVidia forever producing drivers that brake the airport lights in P3D I'm limited to which drivers I can use. Hopefully they'll sort me out soon.

Qualied 5th finished 5th. Erik and Simon were close enough in front to keep me interested for most of the race but all I could do was follow until I eventually started to slip out of touch.

Decent turnout for the new season and nice to see some new faces.

Newsletter?

In the ancient SMF forum software I run at work for our internal discussions, the newsletter option is:
1) Go to the ADMIN menu (assuming you have access).
2) In the left panels in the MAIN section there is "News & Newsletters".
3) Click the NEWSLETTERS option and then select who you want to send it to (check all) and select "send this to these group using PMs".

It might be that Dave does not give you access to that or he's disabled it, but that's where it is in SMF v1.

hello,

is this wednesday 8th july again a race with GT3 season1 series?

i am do not 100% understand the actuel series in ukgtr for AC, it looks like 3 different series are now (GT3, GT2 and this bmw235 car), but i do not know when is the races??

each series biweekly? (14 days cycle?), if so, then it looks each wednesday is AC races and each 2nd sunday (the GT2 series), but do not know realy if this is correct?

perhaps someone can tell me this,
thanks

You are correct - there is an AC race every Wednesday, with the GT3 series running on alternate weeks with the cups (the BMW is the current one). The races on Sundays alternate between GTR2 and AC, so the AC race on Sunday is every 2 weeks.
