Just tried out the GTL version in a Falcon, quite different from the GTR2 version, but no less enjoyable, managed an initial 1.47, maybe could go quicker but will try some more tomorrow.

I just don't get this track, managed the odd lap in the 47s or 48s but after several practice sessions and probably an hours driving over the last week I'm still running off the track, crawling up to the apex, it's just too wide and vague, really hate it. Which is a shame as a wide track like this should in theory make for good racing.
Certainly can't be bothered to try and set up a P&G car when I can't even drive the track, see how I feel on Thurs for this.

Im struggling a bit in P&G as my frame rate is horrible at 1920x1200 in places, less horrible here. This week I will be in 1280x1024 which is more drivable. The 1st turn requires turn and hope, hard to get a perfect line and not go wide under power and if you clip the yellow curb on the inside (pit lane divider) there is a really nasty cut track warning which seems less so in the GTR2 version. There are a couple of "power on over brow" places that are great fun here and really tricky (to me) in P&G and the curbs are suicide, put a wheel over and you spin, again less so here with the slower cars. I am finding this with the slower cars much easier, though not neccesarilly less fun than in P&G with the monster GT40.

Arghhh. now I am really cross Was about to have some praccy last night only to find that although I have brought the GTL box with me, (away again this week) It is empty! the disk is back home... an 8 hour round trip is too much, keen though I am, so I have ordered it from Amazon for delivery down here. (Sandhurst) If it turns up Thursday I will be in. if not, unless someone has some hints on no cd (I have the PC and installed game) then I am stuck. Dang, and I really really wanted to do this one.

Down to 1:51 in the Alfa now, tried Miami Baywatch and that is a nice street circuit just watch the drain covers.
Its about time you started mowing down the soft bints in the red swimsuits!!

Think the Falcon will be off the pace of the others but woe betide anyone that gets behind me, or worse still Legzy . If that was any sort of guide, gotto say I'm rather excited by prospects of race tomorrow.

So that's the game plan sorted for tonight then Ginsters: 1) We out-drag as many people as possible off the start line. 2) I'll then steer the Falcon round as quickly as I possibly can (which will be holding everybody up by about 5 secs per lap). 3) Watch you in your Falcon disappear into the distance for an easy win. Worked perfectly last night

Awful, attempt at racing on my part, many apologies to all and sundry, particulary Pribeiro and spanner, disgusting and disgusted with my pace and racecraft tonight.
