UKGTR NGT Sprint Academy - Valencia GP - Oct 31

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

i keep getting 'booted as possible cheat'?

Can only guess that your skin/ballast pack isn't 2.1 or isn't installed right.

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Will - search for and remove all files inside GTR2\GameData with "ukgtr" in their names and reinstall v2.1 of the pack.

Well poo.....

 

Fekin ATI vpu recover popped up asking if I wanted to send an error report and spoiled everything, had an absolute blast up to then though changing places with a few guys and enjoying my first race on that circuit (and it showed!)

Congrats to whoever won, some good racing from what I saw at the back o the grid.
Here's to a better result (and maybe a finish!) at the next one!

Got it sorted finally Dave - but only left me with 7 minutes to get used to Valencia, set up car and qualify. Doomed from the start really - set up was useless as the back end was sideways more than anything, and not much grip at the front 

That'll teach me to leave it all to the last minute!

Sorry if i got in anyones way whilst showing off my ice racing skills   
Then, my girlfriend came up to tell me she had broken my mobile phone - that was the last straw 
Had to disconnect in the end as it was an horrible night for me

Hi guys I can not get to grips with this track ( a sign of advancing years ) thought every one drove realy well. Went a bit over the top oulling off for faster cars but I was invisible the other night so hope no one lost out if I disapeared again. cheers for now gerald

[pribeiro]

Wow, what a race!!!!!
Congrats to the podium
Now: Academy?! Academy of what? Senior or mature guys for sure
What a amazing driving guys, you all have my respect
Congrats also for the Mosler and Nissan drivers
The Vertigo is a hell fun of a drive, man, this car do corners almost as a slot car
but surely have a lack of good top speed

Please...please, when someone leave pit lane, having a car behind flashing the lights,
for around 1/3 of a lap and with a blue flag waving, dont secure position, let the other guy
overtake you and then you aim for your hot lap aswell, thank you.

Great fairplay during race, thanks all, see you next race

Cheers

 Many thanks for all the guys for moving out the way for the cars lapping them there was only one real incident for me and i will be following the right line with that
apart from that shame you lost it in the last corner jam many thanks for my first 1st  


Many thanks to Simracing.org.uk keep up the good work  

[Paul Richards]

Really enjoyed that. Qualified 4th and then went a stuck a wheel on the grass in the first few laps   ! Rejoined 10th and then had a great battle with Dave, Reign Man, and Picnic. We were nose to tail for laps. When we reached a few backmarkers it gave me a opportunity to pass and then start the chase down to Pribero. There was no way I was shaking Dave and all behind too much though and it was a great sight seeing the 2 TVRs and 350z showing good pace. Perdy than had a spin which bought him back with myself and Pribero in the vertigo which was also showing good pace too! Perdy than made a slight mistake which allowed me pass and then gave me a lot of trouble keeping him behind again! Couldn't get anywhere near close enough to make a move on the Vertigo so 5th it ended up. Good race in all!

[Reign Man]

That was a great race! I enjoyed it a lot.

I qualified 7th I think Just in front of Gizmo, finished 6th in the end, just in front of Gizmo . He was on my rear end all of the way but I was able to hold it together.

Special thanks to Perdy450. Thanks for the place on the last lap mate, appreciate it 

Close racing all the way, quite a long train of us, there was some sort of drama going on which resulted in me tapping Paul Richards (Sorry) and i think it was around that time a broke sharply mid corner, i was sliding a bit and had to do something which resulted in gizmo tapping me in the rear end (sorry bout that also  ).

I was a bit scrappy but was able to keep quite consistant...well, more so than usuall, 90 % of the laps were in the mid to low 1:38's.

Hard work but extremely fun.

Thanks guys

What a great race! After just pipping teammate Picnic for 9th, we ended up the wrong way round on the grid. I didn't even notice but Pete, gentleman that he is, did, and since we were on TeamSpeak together we swapped places for the start.

Got away well behind Reign Man and try to apply maximum pressure and force a mistake, but he was having none of it. After a while had to settle into a rhythm and protect my medium compound tyres; I figured most would risk softs and my goal for the first half of the race was to consolidate my position and be ready to mount an attack later in the race when the soft runners started to struggle. At one point I think I was running as high as 6th after a few people went off, but couldn't hold off a hard charging Paul Richards in the 28CDm car and slipped back to 7th.

Must say sorry to Reign Man for, ahem, "disabling" his brake lights at one point trying to line him up for a pass out of 11. Was very relieved I didn't push you off.

With less than 10 to go Picnic wasn't offering any real pressure from behind and I could see Reign Man starting to struggle in front, so I pushed really hard, overstepping the mark a few times but always able to close to under a second again, but he held fast and I couldn't find a way by despite my tyres being under 10 all round on the wear scale.

Great job from the brake souls in the 993 GT2s - they obviously need  a bit more ballast,  but I still wouldn't want to drive one!

Thanks Pete.

ps. Thanks to all those I lapped, no problems at all. Chucking it into the kitty litter is probably too polite mind!

Nice race.
Had a bit of fun with Edamspeed and Gomes (nice clean racing guys thanks) during the first few laps, managed to get round them, then got caught by someone making a bad rejoin and spent the rest of the race trying to catch them up again. Hardly made any mistakes so am happy bunny there.
Looking good for the rest of the season. Have to try and find a bit of extra speed from somewhere

BTW. I thought the grid got a bit mixed at the start?

Was a good race, I found the pace fairly easy at the start but never had enough couragespeed to attack Gizmo. Paul R as he said kindly let three or so of us past early on and then proceeded to give my rear grief for a few laps until I took a bit too much kerb and only just held it together without spinning but lost the place in the process. From then on it was follow my leader for a while until Paul got Dave and Reign Man in quick succession and it was as if he had never been there

Started to lose what felt like loads of apex speed, the major trouble I think I was having was a nicely warm front right trying to work with a frigdid front left. A whole 20degC difference between them :/

Must apologise to Perdy for smacking him in the rear during qual, typical rear end roundabout effort. Saw you move, checked my rear view mirror and you had stopped, whack - sorry. Also had a moment passing Rob, shame we don't get replays except for the race, you were giving me the corner but I locked a wheel and went passed you completely sideways and somehow ended up facing the corner exit
