UKGTR Season 7 Sprint - Silverstone (International) - Jan 22

[Mark J]

ah ta Paul, it was Daves mention of 'depending on enduro weather' made me think it would be a late mention.
I hadnt even seen the 20% damp for this round until a team mate mentioned it this morning  Most of my glimpses of this forum are snatched briefly at work in between pretending to do some graft

I'm showing up as Full Time, but I voted for Reserve status.

I don't want to take anyone else's FT spot if there were more that wanted one as I'm happy to be Reserve for this series, but if there aren't any more requesting FT then may as well leave it as is.

Actually scrub that, I just realised I would like to drive the Vertigo in this series as I'm doing GT1 in the Upper Endurance.

Sorry, just to confirm, obviously because I did vote reserve, I don't want to take away someone's full time spot if there was someone that applied for it who didn't get one. Just if there is no full-time votee that I "took" the spot from then I'm happy to be full-time.

Just gotta say I'm looking forward to this (dodgy ISP allowing), my first srouk Championship GTR race.  And its in the wet at Silverstone, result 

Hope to be keeping out of everyone's way!

I might not be able to make this. Sadly my leaky plumbing needs to take priority, I've got the plumber coming round tommorow night.

You'd think with a name like that you wouldn't need to...

Hiya Guys

Cheers

Sadly I'm out of this one too. Not good to miss any event but I was especially looking forward to the first one.       I'm sure it will be a good race with a big field around the tighter track. Have fun!

[purdie]

right, after missing the eunduro cos i downloaded the new skin pack from the SRou link and finding it corrupt i had to miss sundays race but will be up for tonight...lack of prepping but alllll good! look forward to it 

[Adam Parle]

Purdie who?

 

Not seen or heard anything for you from a while (does this mean you're getting some nowadays  ) - look forward to seeing you on track tonight.

[Zacari]

I'm hoping there's room to join in the slippery fun tonight, 20% rain gives all manner of tyre options and the racing should be pretty interesting.  I was even able to run ok with hard slicks on during a practice, after I thought I'd put hard wets on   Think it'll be inters for me though

[Joss]

Yea, 20% rain is a really difficult borderline condition where multiple tyre options are available depending on your driving style/car choice.

Enjoy lads 

[popabawa]

Unexpectedly it looks like I can race tonight so fingers crossed I can get in as a reserve!

rain + Vertigo = fun!

[Simon Gymer]

rain + Vertigo = fun!

Really? I can't get it to stop snapping out under braking. I'll be lucky to complete a lap at this rate.

[Steve Holmes]

Unfortunately that was just undriveable, with my ancient (5 yr old   ) PC I was hovering around low-20s fps, sometimes in the teens, no way to correct minor moments in time, and couldn't get near to times I'd done on the quiet practice server or offline (when I had high-30s fps).

I'd have been a liability.   

Okay, job 1 tomorrow is to buy the PC bits I've had in my Scan shopping trolley and build the flippin' PC I've been talking about for ages!

Hope the race was good for everyone.
