After S8 class changes I'm having trouble locating the list of which car is in which class. Could somebody point me in the right direction? If Mosler is still in GTC, I'll take that for this season. If not - "we'll just see what we'll see". Vertigo is GT3 now, right?

You can either start a local game and select just the UKGTR GTC class or join the server which is only running GTCs at the moment. Either way the list is the list

I thought the list was somewhere on the forum, so us rookies could take time during work spare time to decide in peace.

I'm missing this one too. It's work commitments this time before any more comments! I've always liked the morgan but I've done a few laps in the mosler of late and have been doing well with it. Not sure what the ballast situation is with it, but in standard spec it was quick.

the comment on first post about 'seeded weather fixed for event, changeability zero'...does that mean 'exactly' as real world weather forecast for tonight ie partly cloudy? or was it fixed when it said 'chance of rain' ? Not done any rain praccy but it would be great fun in the wet again

Another totally wasted night. Had to brake far too hard aproaching the hairpin to avoid running into the back of MJ (did you brake/have to brake a little early?...not your fault or anything, just that you seemed quite a bit slower than on previous laps ) Anyway, locked up, sent me off right into the wall, busted suspension, end of race. Grats winners

unlucky pseudo dont think i took the corner any slower?, other than being a little defensive to the inside line in case you tried nipping up the inside like i did a lap or so earlier totally gutted, had an absolutely fantastic race, in a 4-5 car battle the whole time with all of us swapping places and racing side by side etc. Brilliant stuff. Then bizzarely on the long back straight my car pitched off violently into the wall at full speed :'(...blow out? Gutted, as it was a fantastic fight with Darren, Andy eves, Jan, Shark and Steve holmes for lap after lap. Only other thing i can think of is my G25 came off the race seat bracket about 10 laps earlier whilst bouncing over the apex kerbs at T1 ...had some scary snaking motion going on in front of sharks chasing morgan for about half a lap as i tried to manhandle it back onto the bracket. I wonder if it slid slightly on the straight, pitching me straight into the barrier?...Steve must have thought i turned kamikaze pilot..only a few minutes more to go too :'( The left rear? was totally deflated, tried crawling along the barrier but it was going nowhere. DNF Still, i thoroughly enjoyed the excellent close quarters racing just a bit gutted to come away with nothing after all that hard work.

Gawd that was frustrating. After Jan slipped up, good pace there , I was left chasing Mark and TT, who were clearly having a great scrap, with a big gap behind me. I pushed and pushed and pushed but couldn't bring the gap down to less than 2 seconds until we hit traffic. Suddenly, through no fault of lapees who were excellent, I was right with Mark and getting ready for some fun and our ruddy cat sat on my lap , quickly threw her off but slipped and really lost my chance. Unlucky to TT and Dan, congrats to Mark. Twas good that we contested well in different cars, good work Dave I'm off to make friends with the cat again.

Should have won if but whatever!! Managed to pull a gap as Mark and TT were scrapping , Gap got to about 11 secs then with 3 laps to go was running out of fuel,pitted and came out behind Simon but didnt put enough fuel in to do the last 2 laps so pitted again and punched the wall . Grats to team mate Mark , rest of podium and all who put enough fuel in. Cheers

What happened to Dan Edit: oh, I see. Bad luck. 2 litres more and I'd be 2nd. Or 1st? Thought I had some spare as I set it to 55 minutes, but I guess trying to get away from MarkMc was burning some extra fuel. Great chase, MarkMc, as usual. In the second part it was obvious Dan was too fast and I can't shake off MarkMc, so I was slowing down in slow corners to make Mark think of sbg for a time. No matter how much I slowed (was slower by two seconds/lap) sbg was two seconds behind Mark. "Where, oh where is he?!" Damn timer wouldn't stop, and if I short-shifted MarkMc was on me asap, so I tried to take the middle path but there was simply not enough fuel left. Too bad. Still, a cracking race! Mosler isn't so bad, if aliens are missing.
