From the looks of the times being reported, I'll be pootling around way at the back of the field, which is a-okay with me! Sorry to hear some of you have been dealing with the infernal Covid, I hope your recoveries are quick and total. And to you as well Erling, it sounds like you're suffering.  Hi seniordan! Good to see you still racing the GTL! Thanks for the video link, Dimitar, it was good to watch the start and make sure you guys aren't doing the rolling start I read of in the main rules somewhere. Phew!! It was actually one of your videos that piqued my interest into maybe trying GTL again, so thank you for that.  As for the Daz situation, unacceptable! The gods of racing must reach down and grant aid to the mighty Daz that he may race triumphantly among us upon this day. I promise not to 'Eek!' him if it comes to pass. |

Sorry to hear about the illness spreading through the GTL community. Get well soon guys. A little disappointed that I might miss this race. I have volunteered to be "transport" for a neighbour who was rushed into hospital today for emergency ultrasound scan to locate the reason for severe stomach pains. Currently waiting for a call to go and collect her to return home....if she is allowed home today. So worst case is I get called to collect around 7:30 or I sit down to start race and have to leave suddenly  |

Not just a speedy but above all a complete recovery wished upon all sufferers of The Plague (other afflictions too of course). I have a 35-year old colleague who's been struggling hard with complications for 15 months now, to the point it's likely she'll never fully recover. Long covid is fugly.  So, get well guys! Racewise: Bugger. I had no intention of quitting no matter what but my two visits to the wall right after the first corner each time caused my wheel to be seriously off-center and I just can't drive like that. But I know from experience that a full repair in the pits usually fixes that even if costs several minutes. Only, the second time it didn't re-center.  Nevertheless, it was fun being in the ole'crowd again. And the two stints in between the mishaps went really well, or at least a lot better than I expected. As a bonus, I don't feel particularly tired after 40 laps so I think i'm going to check the '22 championships out and select one where I'll make an effort to participate regularly. Watch out, backmarkers! |

Get it done Mate. I hate to think how bad I would have been if not for the booster. |

Grats to Micha, so fast and such a great consistency. He totally deserve his win. Grats to Hristo as well for 2nd and Heeby for finishing on his debut at hard cars/track combination. Race replay with commentary: https://youtu.be/R4IBmdh4PGg |

Thanks guys; sorry I couldn't be there, but just not in shape for a marathon like that. Grats to Micha & the usual suspects on the podium.
Thanks to Tony for all the organizing. Happy New Year all!

Ok sort of race for me, spent almost all of it circulating on my own. Front 3 were too fast although without some graphicak problems which slowed me in the second half of the race, I may have been able to benefit from Hristo & DD's errors. I thought I had cured my frame rate problem, but alas no. When I start GTL I am getting over 200fps for the first lap or so, then it gradually drops off & after around 15 mins is down to less than 100fps. By the end of the race last night it was around 25 on the straights but only around 12 through the chicanes making it very difficult to place the car. It has only started since I got my new wheel & only happens in GTL, AC & Raceroom are fine. No idea what the solution is, searching on the web has provided little in the way of answers. May even have to revert to my G29 for GTL! Congrats to Micha on a great drive & to Hristo & DD on the podium.  Good to see Heeby & Psy on the grid, hope you will join some more races in the new year.  |

@ Geoffers
It could be a problem with your graphics card getting too hot? Visually inspect it for dust build up and functioning fans. Just worth a look IMO.

I have thought of that, but temps of that rarely get above 35C & it would happen with the other sims too, which it doesn't. Also I can shut down GTL & immediately restart it & get 200+fps again. |

Not sure how it could be wheel related, but anything is possible. Have you tried setting a different wheel in GTL setup screens?
I've had past issues (not related) where a buffer fills over time, and the response eventually becomes poor

Buffer issue as suggested by Matt seems plausible, or maybe a memory leak. Have you checked memory usage - I'm thinking both system RAM & video RAM, if you have the tools to monitor this?

Or update/renew the video driver?
I know AMD have software to monitor usage so I'm guessing nVidia would have too.
