UKGTR NGT Sprint Masters - Zhuhai - Dec 12

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Maybe link to the original files, of people wanna go back to normal after this race, and forgot to backup

What original files? You just delete the .GMT file (or better still rename it) from each track directory, that's it. The GMT file overrides something in the .GTR archives for the track - it doesn't replace an existing file.

oh

OK, so for those of us who dont know, and dont mess in the GTR folders to see what happens. Whats this hat file, and where is it?

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Whats this hat file, and where is it?

It's in the UserData/<your name>/LOG/HAT directory and is generated or updated by the game whenever you drive a specific layout. I'm not sure exactly what it's used for but AFAIK you can lose them all without problems.

Was really looking forward to this, having enjoyed my debut at Spa. Unfortunately I'm away for the week so won't be able to race NGT. Looking forward to the endurance and GT sprint though.

[Simon Gymer]

Woo! I should definitely be making this one tonight after my recent race misses, I'm looking forward to competing again. TVR shouldn't be too badly suited to Zhuhai, but I've not played Zhuhai that much so we'll see.

Go Sharks!

[Mark J]

Gutted to be missing this one tonight, i'll be getting xmas larapped instead in some seedy west end bar  ....oh well, someone has to do it 

Good luck tonight gents. Dont forget to tie some chrimbo decorations to your space ships  .....or would that increase your drag co-efficients too much

Ive just hired 8 of Santas reindeer to pull my M3 around tonight.. just look out for Rudolf's red nose in your mirrors.

Unbelievable, get my darn internet fixed and the rsr's engine just gives up without warning, oh well, just about sums up my luck this season, lol.

Big apologies for whoever it was I hit as we went round that slow right hander, didn't expect you to slow down so much.

Grats to Ruskus for setting the 3rd quickest time in the world for an NGT at Zhuhai, especially when carrying 50kg of ballast, unbelievable.

Well thats me done till the new year, off to get some winter sun, see you all next year and a very merry Christmas everyone.

First things first - I used to like SimRacing.org.uk league for the fact that at formation lap drivers new how to behave and drove consistently. Now it's a mess like everywhere else. Sudden speed increases and drops, people spinning (hic!), crashing... Terrible! I hope League Overlords will finally do something about it - I don't like the idea of watching my back all the lap instead of warming my tires and brakes.


Qualified 19th - damn! I have to practice more... or (and I would prefere this version of truth) it's all caused by the shiny G25-s that you guys use for racing Anyway - I am quite pleased with my first ever visit to Zhuhai. Didn't have much time today to prepare a set and didn't find solution for sliding rear at last corner. I must have used too much wings as my F360GTC was snail slow at straights. Anyway - after some clean and fun race finished 16th.

Congratulations to the winners!

28CD Forever!

Boring race for me, started in 2nd and stayed there for all the race with gaps widening on both sides. Ruskus took it easy after some laps and the gap stayed at about 8sec right to the finishline.

Grats again Ruskus and nice drive in that TVR Jon. :-)


P.S. loc, i wasn't invisible, but 20 sec in front of you :-P

[JonM_uk]

Had a great battle with Loc at the end and was pretty lucky to get past. I think his front tyres were worn a bit and I managed to get a run on him down the straight but he fought back but again on the next lap I just managed to sneak past. Great racing mate Had some good racing at the start also with RS but his back end looked a bit slippy and in the spun. Nice racing all
Grats Ruskus

[Jeffrey]

Qualification went very very well for me. A PB and a nice pole. Didn't even realise they time was up there Greg, I don't check GTR2rank anymore since using the weightpack, as I don't expect to be anywhere near.

Race went pretty well, I could do 1:34's the whole 70% of the race and could slooowly drive away from Martin, but I had no room for error, as the gap just never got any big. There were some scary moments with some backmarkers, but that's really nothing as it all went well and nothing on purpose.

[Simon Gymer]

Wondered what happened to you Greg. We were having a good scrap in the midfield along with zillions of other people. We were near each other after T1 and then you went off into gravel, thought we might have touched but I couldn't see as you were in blind spot. Have a good Christmas!!

No practice showed for me as I was almost learning the track again. Didn't really know where to brake or the proper lines. Not really raced much Zhuhai so I think I need some more practice. Was well off the Masters pace in qually starting from 17th on the grid. After some good scraps and people going off and on and off and battling with each other, somehow I ended up 9th, which from 17th is really pleasing and a great result for Team Shark Juniors with Aagramn finishing a fantastic 5th. I think I really chose the wrong tyres for the race, the mediums never seemed to get up to temperature and it felt pretty un-grippy. With only 10 out of 30 wear at the end surely Softs would have lasted.

Well done to Jeff, Martin and Jon on the win and podium, another great result for the Sharks with 2 in the top 3. Dunno how you drive that fast Jeff, incredible pace.

[Radius]

lol for some reason i thought this was gonna be a wet race  So much stuff going in my life these days and its showing in my racing

...Although had good fight with a few i think i should take a break...no point i drive if i have no time to setup car or practice. Dunno how you guys manage it really!?

Very good win tho Rus..i'll be back!!
