Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: Driver's must complete over 50% race distance to score points.

New build and not my usual machine.
Which of the existing D/L do I need to install for this? or is it an extra one?

In which case, please can I have the D/L

Thanks Tony

Are they supposed to have a bonnet? Non do here

I was just thinking it might affect the aero 

 

All in all an evening's racing to forget.  

First race, after a bad start I caught up with Erling & spent a few laps unsuccessfully looking for a way past before getting on the grass exiting the chicane & spinning into the pit wall. Sustained a fair amount of damage resulting in an ill-handling car & so decided to pit for repairs & lost the best part of 2 laps. After rejoining I found my frame rate had fallen to around 12-15fps making driving next to impossible so quit out to restart GTL.

Took the chance while waiting for race 2 to make a few setup changes which for a change really did improve the car & I found almost 1s in laptime, still far from Daz pace though.

Rejoined the server & managed to nab pole for race 2. Led for a few laps although I picked up two cut warnings early on so had to be a bit careful after that, but just as Daz caught me I got the chicane wrong & got another cut & an S/G. Came in to serve it & could not get the pitboard to show up, eventually after much shunting back & forth it did appear but by then I had lost a lap. 2 laps from the end I got another S/G & once again could not make the pitboard appear so gave up with it & took the post race time penalty. So basically a rubbish event for me, although the frame rate drop was not so bad in race 2 still at around 30 at the end.

Congrats to Daz, Erling & Tony on the podiums.  

Yeh, I have mentioned it before. It is unique to GTL on my setup & has only occurred since I got my Fanatec wheel, so it must be something to do with that. I have read of people having similar problems in other sims (PCars, Forza) with Fanatec wheels but not in GTL, but then there are probably very few people left racing GTL.

Thanks Kurt
