This is a special endurance race this week - 80 minutes with twice the points at stake.  Please note the modified start/session times.

Please post below if you plan on participating, have a question/problem/concern/bitch.  Make sure you are registered for the Euro Series and that you have a car selected for it in your driver's profile.  Make sure ahead of time you can join the server and remember we are running GTR version 1.4.  If you need help with the car skin pack post below.

A patch for the TPG Skin pack has been released - v1.3, visit the link above for more information.  If you install the update but still get sound problems, a switch to a standard car should take care of the problem.  Also, visit the SLS site (see note 4 above) for weekly race recaps.

Just an FYI, here are the country standings after 5 rounds of the European Championship Series:

Germany - 107
UK - 81
USA - 7

With twice the points up for grabs this is a great opportunity for the UK to close the gap and even pull ahead in the points if UKGTR packs the field.

What? How the f*** do you count this points?

[Haiku]

Wait a sec,

After five rounds of action, the GT class country standings are as follows:

Germany - 107
United Kingdom - 81
United States - 7

After five rounds of action the NGT class country standings are as follows:

United States - 61
Slovenia - 40
Netherlands - 12
Serbia - 5


TT,

It's actually pretty simple.  I do the Country standings outside of SLS.  It's just the sum of points earned by drivers from each country each week.  Just go through the race results on the SLS site and add up the points of drivers by country.

[Truetom]

ok

Well, I was alone in a NGT so I drove for a half hour, then GTs started to lap me and I was an obstacle for no reason. So I quit, NGT win or not.

Mark,

Congrats on a very fine race and 2nd place amongst all those Alien Lister drivers!!!  Wh00t !!!

[Mark J]

Thanks again Haiku,

shame a few more drivers off here couldnt attend. :'(

Mind you we had Mo, Truetom, Whitham and myself.

It was a great race guys with 18? drivers present. A quality endurance event with a good mixed field of nationalities competing.

I'm away on hols for next couple of weeks unfortunately so if anyone wants to fly the Union Jack in my absence please do !

Congrats on a good drive Mark. I was behind you for a lap until I flew it into the scenery. Managed to drop back to 9th after a few more spins
One too many beers with the bbq I'm afraid, although I was able to keep it together for a while and didn't contact anyone. Except for the warm up lap where I was rear ended three times - very offputting.
I hope to make the next one too, see you there.

Yeah got to admit, i thought the warm up lap was an accident awaiting to happen.   Perhaps TPG need to adopt the pit-lane limiter that has turned out so well in UKGTR races.
There was too much 'flooring it off then slamming the anchors on', going on down the field causing concertina effects. When i eventually crossed the line thru bunching, the front 5 or so had already gone up through Eau rouge !!

Perhaps Haiku and Whitham can put a notice up at race start to alert peeps not to do it

This had been in decision since the imola NGT race which was alot worse with 7 cars "parked" side by side... It a grey area TBH but something needs to be done I agree. We might start to moderate the formation lap with out any appeals from the drivers and see if giving People cautions and then penalty's will help. getting the hole shot is part of racing and using limiter kinds of stops this and if you at the back off the field the pole blokes going 150mph while your doing 36mph. The difference between were the pole setter is and the last person the cross line can be very vast, but it is an option open to us.
