Elise Cup - round 2b - Silverstone GP - 29th August

[Paddy Cummins]

I'll try and find some time to try out the car pack today. I havn't even installed it yet.

In the first post you said to notice the new GTR 1.4 Compatibility Patch. What is this? We always used official patch 1.4.

The Elise skinpack was made for patch 1.5. This caused the race to end after 5 minutes. The fix is to make the skinpack compatible with the 1.4 GTR patch, the one we use.
So the fix is a must have.

And this patch is to go into the GTR game data file?
Will it make any difference if i update to version 1.5 (for general online events) and then revert back to 1.4 for SROU events, with this patch installed?

Thanks guys

And this patch is to go into the GTR game data file?

From the attached readme:

"This new version of the SIM_LEC1_25min.gdb corrects a problem with time scaling in the
existing file.  Copy this new version to your GTR/GameData folder, overwriting the existing file."

So correct.

Cool - cheers Ruskus

I'm not sure whether I'll compete this evening.

1) I'm not really fond of this track.

2) It's my first day back in school and I'm a little tired.

3) It's sunny outside.

I may compete if  feel up to it in 90mins but don't count on it.

I got some problem after the first lap with this track, and the frame rate would go no higher than 11fps. It was like playing Super Monaco GP on the Megadrive all over again.
Hope you all enjoyed better than i did.

For f**k sake.

Again a great race ruined by my (........................) router.
I had a PB at qually which gave me pole: 1:56.5xx.

Race was great again battling with Jon. He was a bit faster so I had a hard time keeping infront. After a while he eovertook me and I was slowly losing him.
At some point somebody spun and I was like, oh shit, smoke. But then Jon also spun, and I had to go grannystyle through that corner not to end up in a threesome .
One lap later, I spun in the same corner and Jon overtook me again. But we swapped places again in the same lap cause Jon was so kind to mow the lawn .

But then, with 10 minutes to go, I had a great disco. I knew I would get disco'ed when i do a pitstop, but not just during the race. This router is going to pieces, big time.

Unlucky Ruskus, kick that turd into touch
Did another double downshift I think that's about 3 races in a row now...Lucky for me It didn't change my result because of Ruskus's disco. Apart from that it was great racing against Ruskus, these Elise's are excellent for close racing. I love 'em.
Grats to matjaz on another immaculate drive

Firstly - sorry about the chat at the end, it started as i exited the last corner and i joined in without checking to see if everyone had finished, my apologies, i wont do it again!

Great racing with Rob B, pablo1978 and gerald who was on my tail at the end, thanks to all.

Hope i'm around for the next one.

Third place - I must say it feels good!

Eventfull race to me. Qualified fourth just like last week. I was quite pleased with the result but the very idea of chasing Matjaz who qualified third seemed quite funny

Of course there was no need to worry. I blew up my start and lost 2 places to BigG and Andy! - great start both of you guys! I quickly decided not to push for a few laps, warm the tires and burn some fuel. The strategy turned to be ok as I quickly got fourth (not without a small spin) and then third after Ruskus router failed. Rest of the race was just conserving my engine and tires.

  Fun Fun Fun  

  Nice tense race from the beginning till almost the end, with good clean driving from everyone  

 Sorry Ruskus, it seams that router needs a nice fly out of your window  

 looking forward for the next one and hoping that more people join the race

This was looking to be a closer race for me starting form 3rd. I guess no driving for a whole week left some consequences.  I had a great start while two lads in front had some wheelspin so I managed to take the lead coming into the first corner and from then on I just went and never looked back. Again I couldn't do without my usual scary moment when I ran a bit on to the grass after T1 and car decided to wiggle a bit and nearly spun on me but I somehow managed to get it under control. My lead was increasing lap by lap and when guys behind me started to spin there was no need for me to push 100% so I decided to take it easy for the last couple of laps and that was it. I noticed guys started to chat when some drivers still didn't finish the race so be carefull next time not to chat until you see everyone has a result and have finished the race. Thanks for great fair racing and see you next time!

Something of a mixed bag for me in this one.  Set a PB in qualifying, only to completely cock up the first corner.  Made up time and then span again .... and that set the pattern for the race, a few good laps, a silly mistake and my last lap was awful.
