Why is everyone posting dry times when its raining ?  Whats a decent wet lap time around here? Have managed 1:43's so far in limited test, but guessing 1:42's are more the time to aim for? (1:41 if your alien  ) |

Just on the server trying it out  Did a 1-40-0 with soft fronts and hard rears but I just don't know if soft fronts will last the race. Did a 1-41-4 with hards on front. Are the soft wets just for monsoon weather? And has the lighter Elise got any chance of lasting 40mins with them on? My wet racing history tells me to go for the hards but I'm undecided  |

I did some testing with the softs myself this evening - they where getting very hot in the corners. I had to drive off line to and cool them.
I know the Elise is kind on its tyres, but I doubt they'd last. Particually if you spin them a few times.

Will the track be wet, but the weather dry (drying track) or will it keep raining the whole race?

I believe it will keep raining for the whole race. |

Only ran a few laps last night, getting to the low 1:44's. Need to tweak the setup though, as it's on a dry setup that I've been using for the last 2 races (albeit with wets on), and then I'm hoping to get down into the 1:42's or somewhere close to it.
Should be an interesting race.

You have to wait for GTR 2 to get that feature I'm afraid. |

I once drove a race at Barcelona where the track was wet, but the weather was dry, so I started on intermediates. As the race went on, the track started to dry, and my inters were getting too hot. I had to leave the racing line at the straight to cool them down again. So eventhough it's not very graphics in GTR, the feature is there. |

Not in the multiplayer it isn't. You can only do that offline. The "changeable" setting was removed from the dedicated server I think in patch v1.4 (might have been earlier), thanks Simbin! |

It didn't work properly anyway, did it. |

Than I wonder why I had just such a race I just described in a public server Because that was using the 1.5 dedi server, which is actually from an older version of GTR. Even when it's available, the changeable option causes problems because of extreme changes between the end of the warmup and the start of the race. The only way round it is with a reconaissance lap but that would extend the event time by another 10-15 minutes and require a .PLR file hack. |

It didn't work properly anyway, did it. No, I believe changeable was ok. It is the random setting that produces extreme weather and different between sessions. The problem with changeable when it was in the server originally was that the change between conditions would often cause slow down and jerkiness whilst it changed conditions. Was a long time ago we used it, so my memory is a bit foggy. We can but hope that GTR 2 is better. |

I had a small spin at 50 km/h ... can't wait for GTR2, judging by the demo they managed to fix this ridiculous low grip at low speeds. After that something happened to my tyres, puncture I guess so I just pressed ESC because there I was in the middle of the track with no control over my car and another pack of cars were approaching. Shame cos I had a nice drive behind Jon. |
