Thanks in advance TTFN John. Good spot John, thanks for the warning. Looks like I need to sort out the server. The only Ford Escort's for Class C are as stated in the race announcement (RS1600 & 1600TC). |

I have been reminded to tell you that the Ford Capri's No. 9 & 10 (9MD & AZ10) should not be used. If you still have them in your Ford Capri folder please delete them. They are removed from the server so if you do try to run them online you will receive a "Car not found" warning and be booted.
The current Capri skins download no longer contains these cars.

I found time to try some of these cars AND also tried those infernal Minis this evening.  Now, with the minis, I know that I need to keep some power on during corner entry, I really do KNOW that. But my automatic reflex is to lift when I get understeer!!! which is suicidal in these front engine sidewinders.............. as I repeatedly discover.  It takes a real concentrated effort to not get my right foot off the gas as I approach a corner. When I get it right the results are encouraging and the car comes alive. The problem is that by the time I get to the next corner, auto reflex takes over again!!!!  Unless I can find DIY lobotomy kit before Monday evening, there might well be a lot of grass cutting, or worse!! |

Yep, the server was OK Sunday afternoon, even if I wasn't!! I managed to depress myself further by trying the 1275 Mini against Ziu in his 1300 Escort!! My best lap might have been only 4 tenths off of Ziu, but that was a flukey lap and generally I was more like 1 second+ adrift. Plus , Ziu will be quicker when it really matters and he is under some proper pressure.  To complete my humiliation, I also tried the 970S Mini, or at least I attempted to run the 970S Mini. Each time I selected that car, and then whilst attempting to massage the setup, the server would throw me out and restart the loading of the circuit. I tried re loading the cars from the race post, but that made no difference. So, I ventured straight on to the track WITHOUT changing the default setup and managed a lap or so before I got dumped once again?? This felt like a familiar problem that I have had before where it is almost a "time allowed" issue rather than anything else? Just in case, are there any likely conflicts between the 970S Minis we are using in this series and the other variants within the GTL garage? |

Just in case, are there any likely conflicts between the 970S Minis we are using in this series and the other variants within the GTL garage? We have never run the 970S Mini before so I hope that this isn't a problem we are going to encounter tonight You didn't say which version of the 970S Mini you were using but if you have used the SROUK installer correctly they should all be placed correctly within your GTL install. The '64, '65 & '68 Mini's should be in yout TC-65 folder whilst the 5 speed '69 Mini will be in a new TC-76 folder. Has anyone else had problems with the 970S Mini online? |

I think it was the 68 970S that I tried, it was the folder with just 2 pale blue 970S minis and they both had 4 speed boxes.
I am going to try again now and will report back with what exactly it was I used yesterday, and maybe give the other options a try in that class.

I would recommend trying the 5 speed Mini's Indeed the 69 970 appears to be faster than the 68 car even though it has less power. In fact I am slightly faster around Brands in it than either the 1275 Mini or 1300 Escort! Not been online with a Mini yet but we have not had any problems with the 970 in the NG 63WSC series, which I guess is the same one Tony is using. This one: http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=43384. Just remembered that Tony asked if I could supply setups for the Minis for people to try . Unlikely to be able to do that before tonights races, but will endeavour to do so before the next BSCC event. |
