Had to exit at lap 14, some stuff going on at home here also Was running in 6th or 7th i think in the 911, but quite a way off the pace of the Pantera's - i think i had a short battle i had was with Morten, but nothing after that - thought it was gonna be a good turnout too Anyway, congrats all who raced & well done

No problem Splintheter. For once I had someone to race, but sadly I lost my consentration a bit and drove straight into a wall, after that my car didn't turn very well, and I could see smoke in my rear view mirror. Drove a couple of laps and then my engine died. The strange thing was that my water temp was dead in the center and my oil pressure was at the top all race, so much for a warning about engine failure. First I just thought the smoke came from a tire rub or something.
Well, had some nice 12 laps anyway, thanks guys. But I don't get why people always quit just because they're 1 lap down or last, would be nice to race someone back here.

Yes, will, a nice battle, but suddenly you just disappeared, or was that me. Strangely my retirement reason is suspension, when my engine died. Well I guess the game had to choose something, so why choose something obvious

A bit less for the lad that (when i was fighting for 3rd place, bump to bump) hit me, made me spun, falling to 7th far away from the front guys and 2 laps later he spun and quit race Thats not the spirit of UKGTR/GTL drivers Anyway, i believe you hit me unintentionally, but leave a race because a spin I would have stayed in the race no problem as my spin was very minor, but some RL issues came up which actually caused the spin in the first place. Kind of peed me off, as my entire week of practicing and tweaking the Pantera was a waste to only complete 7 laps. Sorry for bumping you as well, I bounced off the rumblepad into your rear quarter panel on that tight 3rd gear turn. I´m not sad for your bump, i just dont appreciate when people spin and quit, thats all I surelly know you had no intention to hit me pribeiro Jr. Member

Really shame I missed this one. I was going to take the big mean green Vette. I can remember doing 2:00 or 2:01 laps so that would prolly make it an interesting race. It's just a shame I just had my internet back . Friday is the last day I have to wait for their tech support to work, if it isn't fix yet after that, I'll send a union after their a$$es.

A really great race that I managed to actually cross the finish line Had some great close racing with Assassino for a while too. At one point I outbraked myself and only just managed to avoid taking us both out. Hell - i dont know how I missed you, we both must have the luck of the devil. Unfotunately i got a cut track warning once - so hope that dont put the mockers on my 5th pos?

I couldn't find a setup for either the Capri or Porsche 911 that I could drive consistently. The 911 setup that was OK for Kylami had snap oversteer at the chicanes and I spun off each time. A less severe setup was acceptable for two to three laps only, then terminal oversteer set in. Also I found slowing down difficult on line, I had to brake 50 to 75 yards/metres earlier than off line and I felt I would be a hazard to other drivers hence I quit during qualifying. Bill
