does anyone have a track write up for this track anywhere? I've been doing the whole track in 2nd gear on my TVR, lol. Need a rough guide of Gear/Speeds for each turn so I can start to fine tune the car itself

For what's it's worth, the best advise I have had since I started this in November basically came down to, ' Get on with it' ! ( In the nicest possible way ! ) This was related to the fact that I was very slow to start with and spent hours on tweeking the set up with little improvement. Our good friend Purdie told me I should load the std set up, tweek the basics, gear ratio's and tyres pressures etc. and then concentrate on learning the circuit. I have to say he was right! ( BTW, I'm still slow!! but am improving!! ) Hope this helps!! M.

Yeah I think i Got the hang of the track now. My setup is down pat for my driving style, and I can wrestle the TVR with little resistance.
I thought Lime park was way bigger than it is, so luckily I didn't have much to memorize

All members welcome.
Hi, does that mean I can join the race as well, just now having signed up on the board? Read the post on rscnet, which suggested this was all that was neccessary. I assume I need the UKGTL Car Skin pack v1.3, as well as the tracks? Anything else? I can't keep up (at all :'() with guys like Grozni, Baracus or StuFoster that I see are driving in your league, (at least not yet ) but I do try my best to drive as clean as possible. Cheers, Mike Hammer, aka hAMMER

Hi Mike, Glad you can join us. Yes you need the skin pack and the track (available on our downloads page) and to have read the rules, especially about the start procedure (rolling start), there's no specific series registration like there is for our GTR championships. Don't worry about not being as fast as the aliens as there's plenty of us old duffers too. See you on Thursday! Cheers. Simon.

Hi everybody, I tried to download the track Lime_Rock_1.1, but I always get an error saying the file has an unexpected end.

Hi everybody, I tried to download the track Lime_Rock_1.1, but I always get an error saying the file has an unexpected end. I've re-uploaded the track now so it should be ok from the UKGTR location again.

the track still works fine, you'll notice that it was just the track preview picture that was broken.

Bugger. Nice big lead, pacing myself, around 10 laps to go. All looking good. Then, BLACK SCREEN!! ***!! Followed by a message saying that GT Legends has had a problem. I'd say! Damn. WHy does it only ever crash when I'm winning? Must be a "No win" virus. Hope the rest of the race went well for the rest of you. Stu

First half of the race was text book muppet driving from myself. Kept spinning through turn one. Sensibly decided to take it a bit slower about 1/2 the race. Don't know why It took me that long. Anyway from the longer braking zone I ended up having a problem with my rears locking up. Eventually managed to get into a rhythm and progressed up a few places. I only glad I didn't collect anyone during my idiot phase of the race
