UKGTL Season 5 GT Classic Cup - Porto - Apr 3

[Geoffers]

Looking forward to this one. I will take the Alpine as it is probably the best handling car of the three, so, hopefully, it will be a bit easier to get around without hitting too much. As Ginsters said though, a fair amount of luck will be required as well as a less balls out approach.

Cya all later

Not really complaining of the track choice - as it's very fun to drive.

More worried about the fact that I'm far from a professional video game race car driver, and I have a bad feeling that my hours of practice/tweaking the setup will be wasted due to the fact that this track literally will not allow a single error

You have my sympathy Mr BMW, personally I've never made a 'single error' in a race "ITS USUALLY 20 or 30" 

Geoffers - totally agree about the Alpines handling but you forgot to mention it's also the best looking

all 3 cars are about as tasty as it gets for classic sportscars 

I'm going with the 250GTO as its just such a classic race car and i want to show support to us finally using some add-on cars. But i love the Healey and the Alpine for sheer coolness too. The only thing letting the Alpine down in game is the whiney shite sound effects...i want to hear the throaty carbs !!

wouldn't mind a bash in the 250GTO myself.....err...someone remind me how I alter the price of them so I can actually select one....it's currently valued at 250,000

I had this problem last week. You need a file that you place in the main GTL folder (sorry name escapes me and I cannot access nogrip to find it at present, can someone help with this?) Anyway this file will provide a newly created profile with all cars and shed loads of credits. So load up GTL and create a new profile. Call it Loadsamoney or something. Then leave GTL. In the folder that has your details in a file, rename your old profile file extension  to something slightly different then rename the new profile to your old name. Again load up GTL and your old profile will now have all of Loadsamoney's cars and credits but all the other settings will be stuffed. Now leave GTL and reverse the file naming that you did earlier on. Now if you go back to GTL your old profile will still have the old settings as was but also all of the cars and credits. Neat huh?

Cheers tony, I will follow the above and see what happens....think I already have said file as I used it to get access initially.

After wrecking all but one of the TS Healey's I did a 2:17.9..and then crasht after the finish .

Here is my Healey setup:

For the money cheat.

Create a txt file and name it: TG2001.DYN . So it's not a txt file after you're done . No need for a new profile

No need for a new profile if you have NEVER used this file before agreed, BUT if you've exhausted it's initial benefits already and you need more cars/credits then you do need a new profile.

How can you've spend a million credits?  Gave the wife your creditcard again

[Mark J]

hehe, anyone taking bets on how many finishers there will be tonight?

My moneys on...hmm, 8?. 

All bets are off on cars crossing the finish line undamaged 

Even Jeff is stacking the team Healeys...wonder how much virtual cash we've wiped out in practise so far? Ive taken at least 10 GTO's off the world market !

Great time by the JR

Cheers Jeff, was feeling quite upbeat until your last post! Unless that setup includes an aero pack i'm screwed. 

A little something to wet your appetites when you should be working:

Simon stated this before last street circuit race and it bears repeating

Because this is a street circuit, you will be expected to drive with extra caution. An accident here can take out a lot more people than at a road course, so drive within your capabilities. This is a 17 lap, ~40 minute race so take your time overtaking, there are plenty of laps to do it in.

Quite a good percentage returned home safely from that race at Monaco, although the race had plenty of incidents. Lets hope for more of the former and less of the latter this time 

I thought I was going ok but thats a killer time JR . Haven't been this excited/nervous/terrified about a race for a long time  Takes me back to Enna in the GTR1 days.

[psuedo]

Sorted the being able to get use of the 250.....not sorted how to drive the bloooomy thing yet though 

Cheers folks

Yeah, that was a decidedly fast time, I'm probably similar to sbg's speed in my 250.  And I feel exactly the same way, qualifying will be excellent, and the race, well that's just one big unknown, the anticipation is building.  Can't wait to get on the practice server tonight to finish learning the track.

I believe that if you open the "Car file" of the car you want to buy you can edit the price of the vehicle - its the value line about 2 from the end.
