UKGTR Season 8 Upper Sprint (GT1) - Monza (GP 2000-present) - Jul 29

[David M]

Er, thats a new trick...

I've just updated to v1.1.0.0 (Vista x64 install is just a few weeks old), and now GTR2.exe keeps launching GTR2Config.exe, every time - anyone had this issue before?

[Steve Holmes]

Sorry Gazz4er, that's probably deserving of a report, I was just a fraction too late on the brakes.

Just not getting these cars. 

[Stewprovo]

FFS!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have any ideas for curing lag, I seem to have a bit of a Lagging problem. Sorry if I caused any probs, first night back in 3 months, and I have to quit out cause of friggin lag.

Not good that Sorry purds but gents in front slowed much more than I expected, I avoided rear ending them but had to squeeze you. I was getting over that and starting to hassle TT when I had a CTD. Karma.


 

[purdie]

thats okay SbG , i thought i hit a bump under braking .... until i saw the replay...thats why i was confused when u let me by...
sorry about your CTD and also sry to my teamie Roadrunner  :'(

sorry to Gazza and Steve Holmes who i think got caught up there 

had an off and hit the wall hard so had to quit a lap later ...quite annoying as it was my fault and my car was just warmed up and feeling better and better. In quali i was -0.8 secs up on my final 7th place time twice but kept binning it in the last sector  so knew i had speed in reserve for the race .....  unfortunately i still binned it doh

!$£"$%^$£"!

OK...now thats out the system.....

Qually was excellent...Team 1 -2 (grats RM )...although a bit unexpected as I had seen people going quicker than my time in praccy sessions earlier.

Race didn't last very long (4 laps I think)...Firstly, Simon caught up with me into Lesmo 2 after a bad exit from 1, so I had to take it wide to leave him some room on my inside....Then he had the audacity to shove me wider still Then I got a rear wheel on the kerb and ended up kissing the wall on the right...no damage of note but 6 places lost 

I rejoined behind a battle between TT and Mo....followed them for a lap then Mo got a run at TT and passed him into della roggia but lost it on the exit a bit which held TT up and I closed right up. We went round Lesmo 1 almost side by side but I had to back off on the exit to avoid going too wide....then went too wide round Lesmo 2, got a wheel on the kerb and kissed the wall on the right.... Lots of damage this time though, my hands were almost crossed on the wheel keeping it straight . Got going again in 12th now....but only got as far as Ascari where the damage sent me hurtling into the wall and race over.

Totally gutted.

Grats to podium and winner.

[Mark J]

well that was more than a night to forget 

car was bloody awful in qually and race. Didnt overtake a single car in the race other than through others misfortune but by keeping a steady safe head knowing any top 10 place was a bonus for damage limitation i ran in 8th to 10th for whole race.
But then got taken out with about 2-3 minutes left off the race. Very disapointed as car behind could have easily got me at another corner as i had to tip toe through some corners like a grannie and i had worked bloody hard to keep that position for so long.
My race ended in a ball of flames  and my pit boss asking 'if i was alright' over the intercom....a few expletives told him otherwise

Rubbish race.  :(What the hell was going on in first few laps as well ?  Carnage and flying cars all over the place.

[Reign Man]

Very disappointed  

To my suprise I qualyfied first, It was my first attempt at a quali setup in the MC12 for this track so Im quite please with that.

After being passed by Simon and Roadrunner, I was going steady when I drifted slightly wide on the right hander at Ascari, took to much kerb on the left hander onto the straight which bounced the car all the way into the inside wall.....engine died.

Damnit!

Not using wireless are you? I hit your stationary car twice. The first time with me leap frogging you. Amazed my car was still drivable, mind you it wasn't when I ripped the armco out just after Lesmo 2  

[Madd-RIP]

Locked rear up into 1st chicane and had to wait a bit for cars to pass then managed to award myself a stop go for pushing to much, its nice when you get a cut track warning for sliding sideways, as if you haven't got your hands full! 
Along the way had a good scrap with Roadrunner who drafted me on the pit straight and I also had good tussles with Ian,TT, Mark and pipped ade on the last lap.
At least I was using an invisible RVS skin so the car looked nice  .

Good fun and grats to the podium

Are you connecting on Wifi? That's one of the most common reasons for lag.

Firstly, Simon caught up with me into Lesmo 2 after a bad exit from 1, so I had to take it wide to leave him some room on my inside....Then he had the audacity to shove me wider still Then I got a rear wheel on the kerb and ended up kissing the wall on the right...no damage of note but 6 places lost 

Hope I didn't touch you there Pseudo? We were side by side and I backed off a tiny bit to stop the wash out into you and then I thought you clipped the curb sending you 'a' spinning, but wasn't sure there wasn't a tiny nudge from me?

After that I passed RM into the second fast chicane on the outside (scarey! ). Thought I was away and clear, but RoadRunner had better ideas. He slowly closed the gap down to a second and I pushed a bit harder down into the low 1:43s, but he wouldn't budge from about 0.5-1.0 seconds behind. Stayed that way for the whole race until the last lap. I think I thought I had a big enough gap (0.8 seconds LOL ) to not have to push too hard, but when I saw him get the tow down the straight into Parabolica I thought, oh darn (yes those exact words ), just stay on line, don't brake early/late, let him do the work. We accelerated away almost side-by-side from Parabolica, but with me with the wider less tight line out I got slightly better acceleration. He seemed to then be a car length behind when he started creeping back towards the line on his slightly lower downforce setup. I'd already put my lights on for the win and as we crossed the line I was amazed how close he'd got so I almost embarrased myself by turning my lights on for 2nd . Good race RR. Pushed me all the way and I just held on for what must one of the closest finishes ever in SRou history (0.067)?

Thanks for the fun racing and nice to win again, twice in succession, which is a big surprise for me, but I guess no aliens turned up today so was more chance to get a podium.

Sorry, MJ - the Lambo is gobsmackingly slow in a straight line and even when right up behind you I couldn't make any headway so all I had was exit speed. Thought I had the move made coming out of Ascari but you you soooo much slower than I expected (and/or had to lift momentarily) and there was just no space to avoid you.

Need to see the replay to understand what really happened. I was as disappointed as anyway seeing you sitting there unable to rejoin.

Rubbish race.  :(What the hell was going on in first few laps as well ?  Carnage and flying cars all over the place.

Stewprovo's lag struck three times causing chaos on the formation and first lap - I had to stop to tell him and Busi got caught out as he was catching up from an opening-lap pit stop. After that I'm not sure what was going on.

Replay and provisional results available

[Stewprovo]

So, So, So sorry Picnic I was on wifi, but just ordered 15m ethernet cable, so hopefully will solve problem. Again, very sorry if my stationary lambo caused people probs. As soon as Dave gave me the nod it was still lagging, I quit out.

No worries Simon...no touch from you..in fact you did everything possible to avoid any contact....you just scared the bejebus out of me and made me drive bad.
