I'll set up a practice server for this event at 9:00pm tonight if anyone is interested.

9.00pm? I guess you're not a Spooks fan.

I'm going to miss this one, I can only manage a maximum of 4 laps before GPL crashes, not sure what the server does with my car in this situation. Would hate to destroy someone elses race.

I'm baffled as to where all this problem with Sarthe has come from. I don't recall any trouble with this track in all the years that we have used it in BREASTS league. Famous last words Looking forward to it. With the slipstreaming effect I don't suppose I shall even need my mug of tea to make the straight seem reasonable.

The long slipstream in 66 mod is a double edged knife, especially on a track such as this one. If you ever lose the pack's slipstream even once it's very likely you'd never see the cars ahead again. They'll get away from you so fast you'd wish to just quit. Witnessed it at Reims some time ago and I can imagine it being much worse here. :'( So whatever you do, stay close, lol.

Looks like I'll be continuing my record of no shows for this series. Currently sat at work waiting for a system to stop playing silly b*ggers and let me complete a Disaster Recovery test. So far all I have is the disaster

I'm also sitting in work dealing with disaster - but this is a real one not a test! I'm just glad I got a few laps in yesterday and my Honda Spa set, which didn't really get a run on Sunday, works a treat.

Unfortunately our regular server won't be available tonight so we are going to have to use mine. I've had it up for practice sessions recently without any reported problems but I've never used it for a league race. I have a dynamic IP which is currently set to 84.70.2.30 and shouldn't change between now and the race (I'm not planning to reboot by router) so you should be OK to connect direct if needs be. If you are in IGOR chat the server name is UKGPL_4. I've set up a couple of practice sessions if you want to try your connection (45 mins praccy with 2 lap race). See you all in chat at 9:00, if you get home from work that is

Take the T1F, Tim - it's a dream in the corners.
Woo Hoo! Work finished so I'm heading home. I might be a tick late for qually but I'll be there.

I wish I had stayed in work. 2 races on Sunday and today and I've done less than half a mile in total.

I wasn't having a go - you were on the extreme right of the track and I was on the left so we met in the middle. That's just the way it goes. I was just bemoaning my bad luck.
