The Vette can only prove itself on the mainstraight. Problem is...it isn't straight and I have to lift off  Yeah I found that too with the Pantera, without lifting you can rail-ride but railriding is strictly forbidden as it's cheating. |

Simon, meant to ask about the cars - I see the 906 is listed twice. Was one supposed to be the 914 or is it just duplication?
I ask as I was going to try to 914 tonight, it's so nimble it could be great fun at Long Beach. Of course, it may well be 3 seconds off the pace in which case I guess the Capri it is!!

Hopefully I will be able to make this race. American track…so V8 is the order of the day. The track loads with picture of a Vette – so I may take the hint from that  Tricky track….i guess most street circuits are, even the straight isn’t easy. I should be able to get a V8 powered car around in under 1:40 wow wee. My frame rates/textures seem OK….running a retro X850XT with 7.1 Omega drivers. Keith |

Hi all
I'm new to GTL, and I'd like to join the race tonight. Just one question, the race time on the first page, is it GMT or CET?
I maybe new to GTL, but I'm a GPL veteran (a member of UKGPL actually). I've read the rules, pretty usual stuff like from gpl, except for the rolling single column start. I've got that skin pack too. I'll be taking the vette. Anything else I should know?
I'm looking forward to my first GTL race.

Have fun! |

Hi Syd! Technically neither, it's 'UK time' which is currently BST. |

To finish first, first you must have fins.  |

Thanks. I'm in CET zone, so it's an hour later local time for me.

You should probably check in advance that you can connect ok. Outside championship races the practice servers run 24-7 so you can test the skin pack installation and so forth in advance. Practice server password can be found here. Basically this password is used for most things that are not a championship race (which have their own passwords), so if you can't get into one of our servers or a private chat room and so forth try the practice password first. Looking forward to racing against you. |

Will try and be there for my second race Thursday but have my first Chemopherapy session in the afternoon so will depend how I feel. Got told I have lung cancer last Friday morning so will race whenever health allows. But last week was great so hope to be there.
Peter Sorry to hear that mate, all the best. |

I got on the practice server with no problems. Set a 1.38.5 with default setup. Any advice on the setups? Any standard changes that you make? Good place for finding setups?

In the Vette...go for oversteer, the more the better . I have almost everything set to that and doing 36's...atleast, I did that once, haven't driven it after  |

Well still can't find a car I like, haven't had much time for practice and really not sure about my fitness! But will be there anyway, probably in 1.39 1.40's. See you all later.

And I'm still having trouble with the track loading properly and may need to log in three times before it does. I am on high res track textures but it makes no difference. Think it's just a direct X 7 issue but frames rates too low in 8 or 9.
