If it arrives and if I get time to install it before the Comet race and if that race finishes on time I'll join in.

Lot of "if"s there. Cheesy

Fell at the first hurdle! laugh

Hopefully tomorrow.

I guess so - we'll have to review the classifications once more of us have got the game...

Yep, I'll make sure the Corvette is available.

Glad you can make it Popa.

That was excellent! (apart from me hitting Edam on the 1st lap Sad Sorry mate)

FPS good, extremely smooth (which you'd expect as there was only 5 of us!), nice bit of low sun to blind us through T1  Cool

These cars are NOT easy to drive fast, it takes a real effort to wring every ounce of speed out of them.

Big thumbs up from me so far Smiley

It felt about right I think, the cars seemed a bit well... heavier.

I hit Edam as he was turning in which span him a bit (but not excessively like GTR) as I sailed into the gravel which took me *ages* to get out of!  Cheesy

That was fun, although it's a shame we only had 5 turn up. Bit of a lonely race for me, but I enjoyed my moment of glory. Think that's the first time I've won a race since we were testing GTR on home servers when it first came out. My sneaky practise session and race against the AI yesterday paid off.  Wink We tried a standing start since there were so few of us. Instead of the 30 second countdown we are used to, it went into the start light sequence soon after the last player joined (I think). I got a good start from pole and pulled away from the pack. Got a suprise after a few laps when the setting sun started to blind us at T1. Could still make out my braking point though, it seems much better in that respect than GTL. After that I concentrated on getting the most out of the F550, was lapping in the mid 1:29s consistantly.

Popa took soft tyres for the race. They didn't overheat, wonder how many laps you could do on a set?

Saw one problem in the practise session, where Don's times didn't seem to be registering until he reconnected, we'll have to watch out for that one.

Thanks for showing NGT Legends guys & Edam. Next time it's your turn to trounce me in some NGTs. I look forward to some races with larger grids.  Smiley

That was quite a fun race, and bloody hard too - I don't remember GTR being that hard!

I'd only done some of the driving school runs, and some laps in practice for Zuhai, and I wasn't sure what sort of lights/beeps/countdown/whatever were going to show at the start, so I was a bit caught out, then after a few corners I got harpooned Wink No problems Pops, it only turned my arse around a little, and I did enough of that myself later on Shocked

I took the Lambojambo because it's the only one I can drive reasonably fast at that track without falling of every other corner. It's a bugger of a track actually, there's a few left handers which just look tighter than they are, and the temptation is to go slower or tighter through them, which leaves you slow on the exit. Truly a circuit that sorts the men from the boys. Aagramn was a big man tonight Wink

Gravel is a pig to get out of if you bury yourself, as it probably should be, but the damage I received from my shunt, and hitting the wall later on was minimal - I guess we're on the 'GTL' style damage model unless we turn it up somehow.

I finished 2nd, and I think I had the 2nd fastest lap, but to be honest I was all over the road, and have a LOT of work to do to catch up with Mr. A Tongue

We have been running all of our GTL races with a time start of 6pm ingame.  The dusk setting seems to be popular with people, the lighting change and sun glare makes it a bit more challenging - glad you guys seemed to take it in stride, I think it makes for a more interesting race.

Did any of the export data come out? I suppose Gizz is working hard on getting a template set-up.

Do the replays have cars with wheels on this time?

We got moaned at a lot when we tried GTL online races with night or dusk settings cause people wouldn't turn down graphics settings to get smooth FPS, so we now only run daytime. I do hope the same doesn't happen with GTR 2. Would be a massive shame not to use rain or night time.
