Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the UKGTR Rules - especially the new speed limiter starting procedure.

Have fun guys.

Edit - got the date wrong, that should have been Tuesday 3rd October. I notice a few more people are getting the game this weekend, so I thought a second race would be worthwhile. I need to do some testing offline before I can confirm the car choices and weather.

You might want to increase the race length to get more of an idea about how the changeable setting works. It needs to be long enough for it to change (peice of string) so you can see how clients and the server copes with the weather changes.

[Aagramn]

OK, I've increased it to 30 minutes. I don't want to make the fun races too long at the moment, as I'm not sure what the turnouts will be like.

   That's more like it, I'll be there now for sure.

I'm enjoying that M3 Is there any noticeable difference between the 2003 and 2004 versions of Brno?

Great stuff, can't wait

I think it's just cosmetic (ad banners and the like), I haven't noticed any changes to the track layout.

Cool, i'll be there, never driven 3 of the 4 cars on the list so far so should be enlightening

Me either, I've done a few laps in the M3 (sounds nice), but if the Viper's included I might be persuaded to take that.  I'll probably steer clear of the Porker, I've never done that well with them in the past.

[Aagramn]

I need to test the Bi-Turbo and Competition Coupe to see if they are competitive. The latter appears to have fixed gear ratios like the Elise, which could be a big handicap.

[Mark J]

I'll give the Bi-turbo a try on the night if it helps Aagramn ?   Being the Porsche fiend that i am 

[Aagramn]

Thanks Mark. Hopefully it's less of a pig than it is in GTR1.

I think the Viper CC is similar to the GT3 Vipers running with the FIA this season (ie road cars converted to racing) - I've not really tested it myself yet, but if I'm right, it won't be able to match nGT cars.
