I think Pete is a poker player... LOL
we had, "i dont think i know my way around here"
then " oh dear I missed practice"
and then drives like a bat out of hell..
oh well, Pros for you next year mate .
and very well deserved too.
71s were a bit different for me . no real practice ( Honest Pete!) then just picked the Shadow because it had mirrors and I ve seen Cookie going fast in the thing.
managed a decent setup in record time and totally blasted my previous best. very happy with my qualifying Time.
then decided i needed a quick change of gear ratios and missed the star.. DOH !!!
ah well. it was fun while it lasted.. hope you all had a great race.

I had a strange program shutdown in the 90° - gpl.exe just stopped, not a freeze...

That may have been what happened to me in the 66s I had the Freeze, as I always call it but I came out of GPL to taskmanager and it stated that the Papyrus window had stopped responding? and I think GPL.exe was still running. not sure if that helps? |

Not a poker player. I just had a bit of time this afternoon to get these monster cars dialled in. TIP: Smoothly does it. I'll share my set-up on CustomRank if you like. These cars seem to suit us right-foot brakers. |

These cars seem to suit us right-foot brakers. To be honest Pete I might ask for all of your setups. Shame about my muppet moment at the start of the 71s. Think it would have been a good race. I'm also getting the hang of the CanAms. Been slowly improving all season. Totally loving GPL again. |

They aren't cars to throw in the turns and the high gears are preferred to get the high tourque in the esses of Glen for example. |

Race 1 - some early glitching meant reducing ingame graphics. Discovered the problem was caused by the final corner creeping further up the hill on every 3rd lap. Lost two places, and New York State nearing race end. Race 2 - locked again in a gargantuan, hammer & tongs, ding dong, battle with Phil. I think I was the hammer, and he was the victor. Fun racing, but an inconsiderate track. These cars need a Brno, or a Sachsenring with a full grid, to exploit their full potential.  |

"Discovered the problem was caused by the final corner" the 90°
Yes that seems a hint for the track makers - my ctd was there in race 2...

Are those replay caps available, Axel? All I get when I click the link is the lead page for SendSpace. No files listed.

Thanks for that link, Axel. I was really keen on pulling down the CA66 replay cap to see Phil & I go toe-to-toe through T1 and up through the Esses. That was exhilarating to say the least! Great job, PT.  |
