Can anyone direct me to the Virtual Mirror widget. I have the standard car mirrors working on these beasts, but they are less than ideal

The race is going to be a bit of an anticlimax after all this.

lmao!!! Of course it might have been my intention to divert everyone's attention whilst I enjoyed some intense practice and all of this was just a smokescreen and there was nothing wrong with my GTL install and computer. But I doubt that you would believe that story.

It says tyre wear normal... the tyre wear seems very high in these? perhaps not all?

You haven't perhaps made the same mistake as me ? - From practice for the previous race, I had GTL set up with 2x tyre wear & fuel consumption. Forgot to reset it before my first test of these cars. Tyre wear was alarming to say the least, but even after resetting to 1x, it's still substantial - it's Heavy Iron after all

True, was just curious as to whether pit stops might be needed. and do they all eat the tyres the same, or does one not at all? I won't have time to do long runs in all of both sets of cars. What testing I have done is all on line. (Thinking of the AC GPL mod where the BRM eats tyres for fun, but the other don't)

In the cars that I have tested, all have had large tyre wear but not enough to consider pitting for.

Isn't that what tyres are for on these cars? to smear them all over the tarmac?? Actually I'm not finding the tyre wear too bad, at least in the 3 or 4 cars I have tested today. Resisting the urge to thrash those V8's and rip the rubber from the rims in the occasional powerslide is the big problem for me.

If I don't make it tonight, it's my power surge protector which would be the cause. It's been acting up all day, shutting down the PC for no reason. If I do, beware! I knew this track sounded familiar and it is as it has the great honour of being the venue of one of my very rare wins over at NG. That was in a nimble Alfa GTA though, no chance that'll repeat itself with these.... Clive cars.
