Ok thats fair enough.

Guess we can still practice based on the 5 day until they become actual conditions.

Cheers

Hello, I need to resign...

My computer doesn't give any screen image anymore. While booting it gives a beep followed by 3 fast short beeps, if I'm right (by googling) it's the code for a faulty videocard. Which ofcourse explains no screen display.
While fiddling around with it for many hours, I had twice the moment it did gave image (strange really), with all kinds of devices disconnected from the motherboard, but even after updating the bios it's back to the beep beep after rebooting...

Computers are so frustrating just like 3 weeks ago my motherboard died....


Was really looking forward to the season opener. But as it is for now, one of the reserves will be lucky to fill in the spot tonight.

PSU on the way out perhaps?

[Jimmie]

My PSU is an Enermax (expensive ) and when I saw the bios (when it did start) the voltages seem okay, I'm not thinking that's the one who failed
It's really irritating when it just does things at random, but everything powers up as it should, I can hear windows booting for example (rattling harddisks), but just the vid card which does seem to be gone to haven.

I notice that the Masters enduro entry list is quite oversubscribed, but the academy not so much.

I was wondering (I know it's a bit late to be asking) but could I be put down in Academy instead of Masters? Judging by my pace in NGT I think i'm more of a padewan and less of a Jedi

Also, I can make this race, and I'd rather not miss out because I'm listed as a reserve and just in case the masters server is full..

I added you to the Academy reserves as well as the Masters - I must admit I was a bit lax with the reserves largely on account of that being the last thing I did during registration, at which point I was thoroughly hacked of with the whole process.

Thanks for your continued patience, Dave

Very disapointed. Made real, real effort to get home for this one. Practise and qual sessions were fine then had exactly same problem as sprint race here last week, it wouldnt allow me to join the grid at race start and gave me a DQ. 
Cant believe its happened to 'just me' for 2 races on the trot in NGT.  :'(

Had a TPG race here in a GT car in the week and it worked fine so dont know if its something to do with the skinpack ?

Totally gutted and feel sickened.

Hope everyone had a good race

[Luis Branco]

I also had problems.
I got a lost connections during qualify and when trying to rejoin the server didn't accept the (correct) password.

I'm really disappointed as I was eager for a good race with the Lambo

[Nick Phillips]

Phew, I am knackered, did not spin it once though so that proves this must be easier than GTR1

Apologies to Paul968 when I knocked him off into T2, literally could not see the car, only the name tag, until you had gone past me, there was nothing in my mirrors except a gap closing. Because of that I let you back through couple of corners later.

Obviously the Lambo used a bit more fuel than expected and had to sit and wait for the leader to finish, which cost me a place same as pitting would have I guess.

Grats JonM, and courteous driving by the NGT's as well!

Well that was a first for me, engine went with 3 laps to go.  Dont think it helped being flipped on my roof early on in the race.
Oh well stuff happens.

[Madd-RIP]

Awful setup, no time to practice really (my fault, too much overtime!) then halfway through first lap, my wife wants me to setup sky+ to record something GAH......into pits and a lap down before I've even started... it just went from bad to worse after that. At least I finished I suppose.

[JonM_uk]

Mark you do know there's no warm up now just 2mins of prep time. Was a bit confused at first myself but jumped in ok in the end.

Had a good race and qually. Just managed to get ahead of Ruskus for pole in qually so was happy with that
Not alot happened in the race really. Everyone of the backmarkers were superb at letting us through
The only thing I had to do is short shift in the 2nd stint as I thought I was gonna run out of fuel. The lambo was eating it up and my pants were getting browner lap by lap. In the end all was well and I just made it Glad my connection held up and glad to open with a win for my new team
 Grats to TT on his win. Good stuff boys, very enjoyable

Unlikely but possible - can't see why it would affect grid placement though. The grid at Valencia is clearly wibbled anyway, once again the entire left side of the grid was a spot too far back.

Congratulations for all classes podium´s
Maybe there were a few lads a bit nervous, due to this be the 1st race (very normal, tho).
But, when we have a 80mnts. race, we can be more carefull at 1st lap .
One more time, i ended 1st lap in last position, cause someone hit me and i spun :'(
Then, some laps after,  i was hit for more 2 times and spun again , so i had to recover
Never mind, because this history keeps going race after race
One thing for sure, i had a hell of fun doing this enduro race( i love enduro races btw)
One big thanks for the GT boys, they were very honest and fair when lapping us, understending
that we were in our batlles also, thank you boys
Thanks for the fair dice leuven,popabawa and paul (hope dont forgot noone)
Nice race Vertigo boys (see, why i race with one at sprint?) and To Viper boy also

Cheers to all
