Bully for you  I'm not upset as I've got tonight's race to practice for so won't get chance to play in anyway  Yeah I'm going to have can rFactor for a while otherwise I'm going to be shockingly bad at GTR and I have an NGT champ to win!! |

Lol Tyf- that's the stuff! And it deserves an -  Oooooooooooooooooo, I say! Just tried a few laps pf Estoril this lunchtime and it isn't pretty. I don't know which is right but, after getting used to rFactor low speed grip, I find I've got next to none back in GTR. Really slow corners and I'm sliding sideways on super sticky tyres as wide as a house. It's those kind of differences that really hurt. I know I always say this but I really am looking to just keep it on the track and away from the barriers tonight! |

POOOP!!!!!!!! I'm still waiting for the unlock code to be sent so I can play RFactor, is it as good as it sounds?
Just arrived in the email, now do I finish work early and give rFactor a spin before the NGT race tonight  |

Reckon this'll be a really interesting race, lots of scope for leaving the track  I'm hoping everyone's been playing too much rFactor to have put too much practice in so I can sneak an undeserved palce or two! Pops. |

Popa may well feel offended! Indeed, my delicate sensibilities are reeling at such a grotesque outpouring. I may well have to take a stiff brandy to recover... |

GTR now hates me. Got back into it for the first time in a week and I've had 3 CTD's loading Estoril and 3 complete lock-ups while driving. Crazy because I've never suffered from any bug before. I'm not sure whether to turn up now or not but I think I'll give practice and qualification a go and see if I get through unscathed.

With all you guys beeing somewhat(!!) faster as i expected i decided to buy a(momo) wheel last weekend,to be a liitle faster for the estoril race perhaps...,until now i was playing with a thrustmaster firestorm controller but that was much to nervous ( after 5-6 laps i started sweating from concentration lol) Until now i never wanted such a "big thing" on my desk top.
Anyway.....,comming home and started playing i realized i had been more then a bit naive...This brings my driving skill all the way back to square one again......!!!
So i am not gonna "practise" with u guys in a race! I would be in the way of the fast ones to much!
Besides i still have a minor technical glitch with it (keeps getting off centre,anybody who reads this ever had that??)
I'll skip this one and depending on the amount of time i have this week for practise, maybe next week to.
As a reserve racer i hope it wont be a problem ,and i would very much like to come back in a week or 2 when i find my driving is good enough for it

Seems that way The games in built payment option seems to be 25+vat, the buy online paypal route on the rFactor website seems to be no vat. Go figure  |

Phew, just spent 30 mins practicing getting a decent setup and relearning GTR, thankfully I'm down to my PB again so should be ok for tonight.

Quiet-ish race really. Was worried yesterday after finding GTR initially hard to go back to that I would be way off the pace. However 30 mins practice and i was back into it again. Managed to even get a reasonable setup and set a PB by 0.5s in Q to take 2nd behind the flying Matjaz in his Porsche. RufBTR then rejoined the server in warmup and the game put him in 2nd on the grid. We'd seen this before and it normally sorts itself out and puts him back where he should but it didn't and he was lucky enough to actually start from 2nd. Wasn't long before he went off in front of me though which gained me back 2nd spot. After that i was just pacing myself really, with the championship in mind, Estoril in mind and knowing that i couldn't catch Mat anyway as he had the pace on me by a long way I didn't want to take any chances at all and that's what i did, fault free race almost and took 2nd to make the championship more secure.
Well done Matjaz on the win, glad your connection held up. You deserved the win by far the quickest guy out there and to be honest the star of the NGT championship even if I do end up winning it.

I seem to be having a problem uploading the replay If you saw it on the website that version was not complete and I've deleted it. I'll post when it is up. |

Fairly quiet race for me.
Qualed in 8th, finished 7th.
Managed to pic up a place on lap one but promptly lost it by not defending.
That was it really, a standard 7th place finish.
