NGT Sprint - S3 R1 - Barcelona - 25th April

[Rob Bywater "Kerb Crawlers"]

A stationary Morgan at the last corner on the warm up lap surprised the hell out of me and I spun, turning around and nearly ending Robs race (sry dude!).

Thats ok mate, no probs. Wasnt a lot you could do there.

Cheers

That was me losing the connection just before the start of the race. I saw it comming when all cars around me dissapeared so I quickly turned all the way to the right beside the pit wall to clear the way and then finally lost the connection. Sorry for the troubles but it came as a surprise for me as well. To bad as I had a nice qualifying and started in 6th position with my trusty Morgan so it could have been a nice fight for the podium.

GJ to winner.

I thought i had a good pace but the best i managed in qualiy was 16th lol. Fantastic pace by everyone in particular the top 6.

I was a reserve and joined at 20:40. There was 5 places remaining. The way i see it, the rules clearly state reserves cannot join until after 20:40. After that we are allowed to join the server. We should not be harassed because such and such (full time driver) is trying to get into server and can't. Like already mentioned, full time drivers should be ready to join at 20:30. As for the ppl that got disco'd, i feel your pain, i would be well p*ssed myself but without any reasonable suggestions what is the way forward until we get a larger server? Dont know why NGT is popular this season, i did both GT and NGT last season, NGT wasn't this popular!

Had a good race, Made some places on the first lap, Kept a good pace and half way through race i managed to get within 2 secs at one point to the Aagramn, SBG, Mark J battle but in the push to catch up with them, my tyres took a pounding and i couldn't maintain their pace and slowly drifted further behind them, good pace guys. Made some places up when ppl started making mistakes near the end. Finished 8th and didn't have any offs, which is remarkable for me 

A massive apology to Truetom, i made the slightest contact on his inside rear corner going into a slow righthander, but it was enough to put him into a spin and into the gravel. Sorry for ruining your race dude  .

Is that right that we got more points than GTN Drivers club ?

[LEUVEN]

I've just noticed on the results page that I have a (R) next to my name, which I guess means reserve.
Although I applied for Full time in NGT this season as I've never done a full NGT season 

[Aagramn]

We had 32 drivers apply for full-time NGT slots Leuven, so it wasn't possible to accomodate everyone.

By way of forewarning, it would appear from the earlier unofficial poll that NGT will be much more heavily subscribed than GT; if you ask for a full time spot in both series, chances are that you'll be full time in GT but reserve in NGT.

Dave managed to wrangle it so every driver who asked got at least one full-time slot, in either GT or NGT.

[Emmo]

thx guys    i had a nice race.
i planned to keep up with Claus as much as possible in the race, but really thought he would be too fast. after some laps i noticed that our laptimes were very much the same and towards the middle of the race i started to put some pressure on Claus. i came close, but never close enough to have a go for it. when Claus went off the track, trying to overtake a backmarker, i could pass and take it home. exciting race, especially as we pushed eachother to some nice laptimes  

btw. i'm not added to the GTN Drivers club yet, how can i fix this?  

[Aagramn]

Have a read through this thread Emmo, think you have to accept the team invitation.

Yer is my fault, I had completely forgot to add Emmo to the team roster, should be fine now, but guess we miss out on his points for the first race then, no biggie tho

About the race, had more pressure from Emmo than Id expected tbh, but I was just doing 'Schumi'-tactics not overdriving, atleast when not needed, he got close once but never anything serious, felt all was under control, atleast until Tyf joined the track in the Renualt curve and took the speed out of us, I decided try go outside, but bad call, rear just slided and had to do some rally-driving in the gravel to keep car under control. After that it was all lost, Emmo was 7s ahead and could just cruise home 

Almost didnt make the race tho, thought I was going mad, game wouldnt accept the PW, until Emmo MSN'ed me saying it wasnt the PW I had provided him with, doh, I was sure it was same pw as for the enduro

Is there a lapchart somewhere so I can see where there was overtaking, because nobody is providing me with info about that, for a promovideo.

Sadly GTR (and GTL) don't provide reliable lap chart information because 'invalid' laps (eg. accidentally cutting a chicane or getting a warning for running wide) aren't recorded.

[[ZiP]Tyf]

Maybe on the new server we can have that thingy running that shows 'Live' reports? Then some1 can sit and watch that all race long and write down where people overtake!
I suggest CJ does this for GTR races and if it works for GTL as well, obviously Ruskus himself can do those!

Ruskus I don't want everyone to know, but Mark J put a good move on me in T1 during lap 3/4. And if you want a laugh take a peek at me pulling over on last lap as I was flipped to desktop    .

Look forward to seeing the vid, but no Europop accompaniment please  .

[Jeffrey]

Lol, I'm sorry Tyf, I can't wright, aliens only have 2 fingers. That's why typing costs me a day or two

Thanks for the info SBG, this is the first info I've got, so it will probably go in the video (if there will be one, cause I need more info).
I need a good replay file, the one I've got from RS is not very smooth, which might look bad in the video, so if anybody can upload a replay with high fidelity, it would be much appreciated.

About the lapchart thing, it is possible in GTL, they do it in Comet. Just have a look at this

Oh, and input on the background music is welcome too. No dance tracks this time. I don't like 'em either, they just fitted the video. I'm more a rocker, but groups like Metallica, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Korn, Godsmack etc are not everybodies taste

That is really neat!
