Updated my install to ver 1.3.2 last night. Liking the new tyre model, but now PLP (and all other third party apps) no longer show up in game for me. A recognised problem apparently, and installing this: http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/track-map-display.3508/download?version=12191 has fixed it for some. Not for me though. Ran out of time last night, and I'll take another look at it later, but anyone got any tips to get it working again in the meantime?

Post 1 updated, PLP not required for this series, let's focus on the racing I will watch the replay after and act as race steward for any blatant cutting or incidents.

Who is doing the math when it comes to amount of laps . Either he needs to go back to school, or he is really fast and can do 19 laps in 30 minutes here

19*117/60=37 mins

I would say 16 laps, better to be a bit over the time, than going short.

Done If anyone finds the secret to getting heat in the tyres of these cars, please share with the class I'm tempted to exaggerate the camber but when I chatted to a guy running an E30 cup car at Snetterton he said they generally run -3 camber..I'm already slightly over that.

Pre-heat the oven at 220 C, then in the oven for 20 minutes, and you should be alright.
Don't think you can get any heat in them, and if you do, next short straight it is gone again. Costs too much wear to scrub them hot I think. Eventhough they are cold, they still feel alright-ish.

Just to say, hard tyre trick doesn't work anymore as not being able to heat them cost you even more with graining.
Little tip - do not chase the way to heat tyres, go for optimum pressure (39 psi) ...

jumped online for some extra practise this eve and tweaking to the car. Knocked another 1.5 secs off my laptimes, now into the mid 1:58's with full race fuel and meds on the lower grip server. Still more tweaking to do to get anywhere near the crazy fast Dutchmen Front splitter doesn't seem to make any difference tried 1,2 & 3 but didn't notice any improvement in turn in or understeer. Anyone know of a good app for setting the ride height? Always seems complete guess work for all the cars.

I put an advert up at Kunos and No-grip sites over the weekend to see if we can drum up more drivers, more the merrier! Also spread the word if you guys race elsewhere
