Scoring Endurance Cup:

• Normal Endurance cup scoring by Overall position: 75,62,51,42,34,27,21,16,12,9,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
• Note that you can drive only once in each engine class! running second time in same class gives a zero points.

Race Notes:

• Even though this GTR233 optimized version runs much better than the original conversion, it is still the most taxing tracks for GTL so starting it first time in single player is recommended so that game gets the first very slow HAT generation load done. Also using affinity tools helps greatly with v-sync turned off from GTLConfig.
• for the very same reason, pit spot count for this one is limited to 18 players in the server instead of usual 26.
• Race will be started in authentic Targa Florio style timed starts: Racers will start to track with 1 minute intervals. Pole position guy starts when the game signals "GO!" and second position starter starts when lap timer indicates 1 minute gone, next one with lap timer in 2 minutes gone and so on and so forth. The start difference will be deducted from first lap time as well as the total race time making the race equal to everyone.
• Qualifying is available, but due the start system, start position does not make such a big difference. So, Qualifying is provided for the hardcore fans only.
• Note that even with the full tank, some cars will require filling the tank in all laps. (every single car can survive with full tank a full lap. To check this, I did ran couple of AI races and none of the AI ran out of fuel)
• Once more I remind: selection of the class here affects to available classes in further endurance races, so choose carefully.

I will start to this one with Division 1, 700-850cc class car.
Which means that My choice of weapon for Nürburgring 500km will be Division ½, under 500cc car, as it will be the only one from allowed engine classes I have not yet started.

NoGrip Legacy HTC Server is now running with race password.

No lucky to join, GTL crashes to desktop when has finished to load cars on tracks.

EDIT: solved reducing shadow and track details.

Get well soon, Daz  - fingers crossed. 



Too many mistakes in the second half of first lap - suspension failed 

Lost connection.

Get well soon Daz
