Little question about skins. This is what says for the skin packs:
"If you have the previous skin packs installed you do not need to download and install the 2.9.1.0 GT1 or GT2 packs."
Those "previous" skin packs are the S8 ones or the 8.9? I mean I had S8 skins but didn't download any of the 8.9 skins, which ones do I need then?

I just uninstalled all the 8.9's and installed all the s9 packs. Nice work compiling them everyone, but could we get them into one easy-to-use pack?
Not a big deal though. It's nice just having them in .exe's so it's easy to add/remove them!

The 8.9 ones - if you install the 2.9.1.0 physics pack you'll be able to see what skins you're missing in game.

Does anyone know what car they're going to be running yet & anybody got any times I could aim for here? I've been having a pop in the Viper, the Vette & the Lister & am getting regular 2:13's with race fuel... but the track record is depressingly way faster!

For sure I'll be making GT1 sprints in my Lambo, trying to defend the title I practiced today and managed a good race pace around the race lap record, low 2:09's

I'll pick a car at 8:15 tonight if I'm able to attend, but it won't be the Aston or the Marcos.

I can't really remember, it's been a while since I drove this. I think it was alright, I just found a couple of the other cars suited me better. What's the CR6 like to drive? Strengths/weaknesses/flaws?
Strengths = Everything, easy to drive & fast. I'd expect this to be the most popular car on the grid (I was surprised this car was not equalised out further in the latest physics update). Weakness = None that I can find.

Im gunna take the GT40 for the sprint races but not the endurance series. I really enjoy driving it but dont think its the fastest so doubt i'll be challenging the top boys. Its quite hard to get the car stable and balanced, has decent speed but feels kinda heavy in turns like youve almost got to muscle the car into turns for me anyway and its not great on brakes but TT will probably be the one to ask on this car.
Im around the low 2.10's in race pace but have done mid 2.09's when i get the that nasty bus stop right lol.

I thought the GT was a bit like the MC12, quite twitchy but steers in like mad. CR6 is very good and great to drive, I think its weakness is that it doesn't exceed in anything, so not the best in anything, but very good in everything.

Gutted had a programme crash once in quali and then again in the race, I see from the threads there are a number people suffering this, is it the new pack set Gizmo? Or is the server just not up to taking full grids like we had tonight? On line GTR2,how frustrating never had a crash offline.
