All members welcome. Special note: The starts lights are not viewable racing in the cockpit view by the pole sitter. Bonnet cam can only just see them turn green, so I recommend everyone runs with the race countdown on, in case they are on pole, so they know when to go at the start. You have been warned!Practice: 20:15 (10 mins) Qualifying: 20:25 (25 mins) Race: 20:50 (22 laps = ~40 mins) Track: Hungaroring v3.1 (download here) Cars allowed: DeTomaso Pantera, Porsche 911 RSR, Ford Capri, Porsche 906, BMW CSL, Corvette Time of Day Setting: 12:00 Start: STANDINGServer: UKGTL Classics Cup Password: see aboveNotes:(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) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page(4) The season will be run using the UKGTL Skin Pack 1.4 which will need to be installed prior to racing; please get it from the downloads page.

Looking at the GTL rank, it's between Detomaso panthera and porsche for the best car.

Let's put it this way, the best times are yet to be seen.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I haven't been in GTL waters too long, a couple of months. I'm still very active with GPL too, and when you see a time on gplrank, you know it's real, that's pretty much the limit. But on gtlrank, there's a faster time in ukgtl races every week than posted on the rank site. Why do people don't like submitting their times on gtlrank?

It's cause when you're online, GTL often messes up the saving of your hotlap time. It frequently assigns the time to the wrong trackname, and it also only records the fastest lap in the most recent session, usually the race, so any quicker qually laps get ignored. You have to manually manage your career.blt if you want the laps to be accurate and many people can't be bothered, don't blame them, I keep my lap times at GTL rank correct and it can be a right pain

Well, if you're a determined "simmer" that shouldn't stop you . I have turned that option for adding date/time at the end of a replay name, so every session gets saved. And so far I haven't had a situation where gtl assigned a lap time to a wrong track, but I guess it's early, I only have about 10 times submitted.

this should be a real challenge in the slip slidey 76 cars through all those technical corners Not raced on Hungaoring since my Geoff Hammond Gp days. I will no doubt fly in the face of variation and race a porsche Its in my blood dammit

I'll try to make it on thursday. Probably in a 906, but I have to test some before I decide. Haven't been able to attend for a bit, looking forward to racing with you guys.
Gtlrank only has (sort of) reliable lap time info for stock tracks. But even there many top times are highly suspicious, being a second or more ahead of the usual top names, Fistarol, Huttu, RFoss etc. I frequently uploaded my times and corrected them last winter, always keeping an eye on my rank competition and even doing offline hotlapping just for the sake of the rank score a few times. I wanted No1 on 1 track, any stock track. Didn't happen and then I lost interest. One reason I like the TC65 class so much is that it provides such close racing, and that is visible in gtlrank as well. If I can get within a few tenths of top times in TC65, I'm between 1,5 and 4 seconds off of TC76 times. Faster cars show the disparity in skill better, at least in this game.
I uploaded my times this week again, after a long hiatus, but I see most of the new PB's from this fall aren't included. I'm not going to correct it. I figure it's more realistic, nay, useful, to keep score of times you can repeatedly do in a race anyway, and those will eventually work their way into gtlrank, I think.
