Read the post Checked PM's Found Tony's latest message Followed the link Downloaded the file Unzipped file Copied new GAMEDATA folder into redundant GTL install Fired up GTL Accessed Lobby Selected Xmas Special Bought the shiny new Porsches and added to garage Entered pits Left pits many times and returned, many many times, with bent metal that might once have been a Porsche, but which could equally well have been a supermarket trolley that had been dredged from the local river!!  Conclusion :- I need a lot more practice and possibly even more practice after that!!! I am seriously thinking that Tony does not like me and rigged the car selection to land me with this monstrosity, but he wouldn't do that....or would he???  At least I can confirm that the car/track combo works on the TEST server.......I suppose that is a triumph for me in it's own little way?? I should be grateful for these small successes  |

Hello gents, I wonder if I may request that final Capri slot? Daz and Heeby can vouchsafe my impeccable race etiquette from, like, 2006 or some unimaginable time ago! For old-time's sake, who remembers Mills Metro Park from 12-Dec-2007? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGmeNL4hIr0I'd better get downloading... |

Update..... Broadband finally on order after fibre was actually finished by Open Reach. New router etc due to land on the 27th, and full activation on the 29th, but only guaranteed before 23.59 on that day. Fingers crossed it's live before then, and despite the chronic lack of practise time I'll be able to join. If not, just to put the nail in Heebys joke, it would be possible to load the car with the wheel stand and go to work, and have seriously thought of doing so  .... On another note, hello Psy, long time no see on track! How fantastic to have another one of the NG guys around, hope you are hale and hearty fella. I can indeed vouch for Psys online etiquette back in the day. |

Some points to note, check and remember............. Note the earlier than usual start times (Dan). There will be no red flags except for server failure. Practice at least one pit stop (offline race mode). Check you have keys assigned to work the pit instructions clipboard. Pit stop refresher course hereNo stupidity on lap one please. It's a very long race and the winner won't be the car the gets to turn 1 first. Get tyres up to temp and remember that all the cars will have different braking zones. Only one hot lap in qualy please. Once your time is set please Esc to pits. There is a solid white line that separates the pit lane from the race track. If you accelerate over this line you could get a cut. So only cross this line when your slowing down. Minimal chat in qualy and race please. Have fun! |

Fingers crossed for you Daz! And, if you could keep your fingers crossed during the race, that would be very much appreciated...

Chaps, just a random question: How fast do I need to go round, lapwise that is, to win this one ? Suppose most of you are in for the fun and not for a win?  |
