Curse this track and CTDs. Has anyone got a good working folder?

Thanks, Axel. Much shorter FB distances with lots of pop-ups but much more stable and no CTDs. Thanks.

I just had a quick off-line test and I had a CTD too. So I downloaded Cookie's folder and I concur with Pete, it does seem more stable. Thanks Cookie!

i don't have any mirrors in the McLaren, how do i get them?

yet another race trotting around at the back. i was in the mix at the start, which I found surprising - my speed on teh straight seemed to be 10-15 Mph slower than those around me, but I kept with them in the draft. Once i lost that I was screwed... is the Mclaren a slow Canam, or did I miss some important part of setup (basically used default)

About Lap 4 whomever was in front of me had a off and took me out, so that put me down the listings. A few laps later I spun and lost the cars in front of me. Then, after another spin, I saw someone in my mirror so let them pass, then tried to jump on their tail to get draft...I did not see another car in mirror (does it only show one car?) and pulled out causing contact - apologies to whomever that was. After that I was just trying not to be lapped... which I managed with minimum dignity... looks like the lads at the front had a lot more fun  - congrats

A very interesting race, I really liked it despite my mistakes and the blow I received, but it was fun.
   I fought the entire race, I was the leader for about 3 laps, I was 3, I was 5 and I finished 4, but due to my own mistakes, when I was about to enter the draft zone, from the first two places, I made a mistake and they passed me 4th and 5
And it was an endless battle against Phill (same car) and the Ferrari, which was going very well.
   congratulations to everyone, it was a very interesting race, and I learned a lot about the behavior of the car and how the drafts are handled in this mode,
   thanks for everything, see you next time

Grats to the podium guys.

As has been said ..some great racing in these monsters. I confess that I was impressed/surprised/frustrated by the top end speed of Phil's Lola. He is dead right that I was quicker out of the corners than he was and I was having to feather the gas to avoid his tail. Apologies for the nudge after 3 laps Phil, I was lining up a possible pass after the Ostkurve. I realised what was happening later in the race. It became clear that you were running different ratios in your Lola compared to my Macca and just when I had the gas nailed in 2nd on the exit of corners, you were upshifting. This caused your car to hesitate fractionally which is why I adopted the "draw alongside and wave at the nice man in the Lola" technique. But there was no doubting your top end speed, it must have been 10kPH more than I had even without a tow??!!
After a dumb mistake in the Stadium section and losing touch with the leaders ( basically I ignited my left rear and was like a drunken shopping trolley for 2 laps before it returned to give some grip) I had a tremendous chase of the leading group. Then when I had caught them and could sniff the chance of a podium I span the car again  

The two major "offs" puzzled me as I felt that I drove those corners just like every other lap, and there were also a couple of bum clencher moments at other slower corners ( whereas in the Ostkurve the car was nailed to the track). A little research has revealed that my Fanatec gas pedal is haunted. Watching the PROPERTIES panel for the pedals shows some weird stuff when I lift off. Instead of returning to zero every time it shows the gas dancing around between 0-20% for about 5 secs??!!!. In these beasts sudden changes on the gas pedal just spin up the rears and do not improve handling, that's my excuse anyhoo.

Looks like a strip and clean is in order........unless anyone knows of another reason?
