Hmm, hard luck Gerald. Happy enough with that, PB in qually, and after some early pressure settled in to doing some good laps. The tyres went off a bit with about 10 mins to go, and I was losing bags of time after that. Held off 4th and 5th for long enough, but after a bit of understeer into a corner both sneaked past and after that it was a fight to stay with them, in the end easing off and taking 5th. Pleased, but gutted I couldn't stay in 3rd for my first podium.

Congratulations to the podium boys I´m very happy with my 4th place Was a very intensive and fun race,i did almost all 35 mnts. behind Paul Richards trying to overtake him, but he hold very well and fair On the straights he get some advantage with the 360, when cornering, my Vertigo catch up the (beautifull skin, btw) Fezza. When we catch Adam and his (beautiful skin, also ) M3, we had an amazing dice (top fairplay) Thanks guys, was great CHEERS

Had a good race, couldnt get anywhere near my 2.03.03 pb for quali so setted in the end of 11th The race was fine stayed consistant and keep it on the black stuff overtaking a few others who had misfortunes on the way...... whilst in 7th with about 5 laps to go was 3.4 secs behind Jonathan Ball, so dug in deep and pulled it down to half a sec or so at the start of the last lap!! through the last 3/4 turns we were bumper to bumper with no contact (excellent driving!! that what online racing is all about!! ) with us going out of the last turn and over the line side by side...... i thought i had it..... but no!! finished 7th!! pleased with that!

congrats to the winners for me this just gets better first part of the race i had dave and don infront of me and was thinking of a block pass on don here and there but could'nt quiet get close enough to justify it .i was keeping a constant gap to them till reign man had span and rejoined about 2 seconds behind me then.after that i was paying to much attention to what was behind(which i must stop doing) and he chipped away at me till i had a moment and he took the opportunity. after that had abit of a bad stint but concentrated and caught up with don on the last lap but once again i couldn't find a safe way to pass.still though best race so far cheers for the hosting and bring on the next

I was directly racing with someone for the entire time, and really enjoyed it. Nice clean racing from everyone I got near, great stuff.

Great race! Had a great qualifying 5th or 6th, cant remember, it was just behind Paul Richards Quickly got into good rhythm at the start of the race and was able to put some pressure on Adam, but exiting a corner I dropped it, spun the car. I hit the kerb whilst accelerating. Rejoined in 9th or 10th place. Just started to get a flow going again when I spun the car again. Needless to say i was gutted, I used a few choice words and rejoined in 14th behind the TVRs of Don and Merlinthepike, i decided to take it easy for a few laps, i did not want to spin again. After a few laps I started to get a good pace going again and started to catch merlin it took a few laps to catch him and had to start thinking about how to pass him. Merlin did the work for me and made a mistake which allowed me to pass him. Thanks mate Don was about 1.5 seconds up the road, took a few laps to catch him and had a real nice battle with him, took real effort, passed him once but overcooked it and he retook the position. He was defending the corners really well but had a slow exit out of a Corner and I was able to get past on the straight. Dave was a few seconds up the road but there just wasn't enough laps left, finished about 0.5 behind him. Next time Despite the spins, a good race. Reign Man

That was intense!! Great driving from all the guys around me esp Munkez. One more lap mate and you were way past me. Was watching our time difference get smaller and smaller and was wishing the race would end. I kept my lines as tight as possible so that you'd have to go outside me. Got the dreaded message on 2nd to last lap my tires had gone and knew I'd had it. But the end was sublime.....great respect for your driving Munk, I wouldn't have been atall disappointed if you'd pipped me...maybe next time:)

have just run off line no probs re installed mod pack but still crashed computer every time it got to adan parle.cheers gerald
By the sound of it there's still something wrong with the pack installation. Did you look for duplicate car files as per my post, er, somewhere else?

Probably your best bet is to search on your GTR2 directory for any files with UKGTR in the name and delete them, then re-install the pack Gerald. At least that way you know there aren't any files in the wrong place. GTR can crash if it finds something it doesn't understand, I found that when trying to install an add-on track.

Rubbish race for me, slowest TVR and stupid tyre wear on fron left. Got the pit warning with 3 laps to go that it was worn Had to quit and reboot GTR during P2, had all sorts of texture problems round T7 and T8, lucky for me the wall of grass texture was not solid, but no way could one race like that.Was fine after the restart. Seems like most people have moved on a notch since the last race, in the whole race I only gained one place from people quitting or falling off. Well done everyone.

That was a pretty enjoyable race even though I still don't really grok the track. Qualifying was disappointing with me unable to get within a second of my PB. Tried two totally different setups, one for straight line speed and one for corner speed, laptimes were similar but the corner speed one was a lot more comfortable so I went with that for the race, and I'm glad I did! The start was fairly hectic with Eddie Meyer's RSR ahead and Merlin's TVR behind. Seemed to have really good pace compared to others in the opening laps and managed to squeeze up the inside of Eddie into the first part of the double right hander. Need to check the replay but I think and hope it was a solid but clean move. Had a great tussle with Don's TVR, which was quick in a straight line but looked like Don was having to manhandle it into and out of the corners. Got round the outside of him once up the final hill but that compromised me in the final turn and we swapped back. Made a better job of my second attempt, making it stick earlier in the lap which gave me the track I needed to start to slowly eek out a small gap. The Zed was mighty in the middle sector but quite short on pace in the faster first and final sectors; Jamera's RSR went off ahead but I couldn't make any real impression on him. Chunky on the other hand was much less consistent and the gap was changing quite a lot. I had no choice but to keep pushing hard because Don was starting to catch me again and I really wanted to stay in the top 10. I think Chunky's tyres must've started to go off big time near the end because I suddenly closed up a lot, and then he ran wide in the tight downhill left hander and gifted me 9th. From there it was a matter of trying to stay as much in touch with Jamera as I could in case he made another mistake, and concentrating as much as possible on good exit speed. In the last few laps Reign Man was catching me very quickly even with a completely buckled in front end but luckily the flag was out and I just managed to keep the place. No way could I have held him off for another complete lap!
