Hi Cico, yes you're welcome to join us. The rules are the same as for our UKPnG except for the starting procedure, so make sure you check the rules on that. Also, get these downloads & you should be ready  Cars allowed: Any GT2 or GT3 from the v2.11.0.0 pack (download from here). Track: Sears Point (Infineon Raceway) Short (v1.0.0.0 - download from here) You might also want the GT2 & GT3 skinpacks or some cars will look funny. |

Hit a killer cone  Truly awful/broken version of Infineon that and I never want to see it again. |

Hit a killer cone ditto  Had a good quali by finally getting into the 1m10s on my final lap in the dying seconds The race got off to a great start altho I think there was some confusion with the pole sitter?! Top 4 took off and I had a great battle with Lazlow... who was having a hard time getting past Marco... i flashed Lazlow to give him some space to get past Marco cos I thought I had more chance of a podium and the two of us taking Marco Unfortunately ran wide and hit a bollard ...... like SbG  shame because the rest of the track is great fun...... ....nice track combo and good to be in the RSR again  (with a colour scheme!!  ) |

Got stuck with one wheel in a hole and couldn't go backards or forrards  GTL version is muuuuuuuuuuch better than this, with none of those strange bumps or funny little ruts in the grass to trip over. A shame this version isn't up to the same standard Fun while it lasted |

Noooo! :'( Qualified on Pole in GT3 (my first pole, class or absolute) - managed to get a decent gap for the start of the race and was keeping Prof/somebody else about 1 second behind me (in the name of cutting it fine, I put 39mins worth of fuel in for the 40 minute race, so I wasn't going to push for a huge gap to win by a mile - a 1 sec gap was fine for me, allowed me to be a bit conservative in my driving/gear changes) - then I ran wide at T2/3 at the top of the hill and Prof got past me - fortunately I realised I wasn't going to make the corner pretty swiftly and didn't actually go much off the road and recovered quite quickly. I then set about hunting him down, was 2.2 seconds behind the lap he started ahead of me and on said lap I hit one of those bl**dy killer cones, proper gutted I am. Led more than half the race, pretty sure I could've caught/passed Prof and gone on to win it. Oh well, c'est la vie, roll on S12! Edit: I lasted 14 laps without disconnecting, so my long run of Cat5 will be deployed in S12 |

Hmmm. Race ended early and I think the track could do with some corner cut detection changes. It was driving the Panoz. Nice fight in the opening laps Spanner. No way I could keep up with the front runners, lol. |

Gazzer, you didn't miss the race 'cause of a mere munching, did you?  |

I didn't even make it to the grid - inexplicable DQ when we went to the race session  and I couldn't even join the grid. :'( What a shame the track is so poorly constructed. |

Had fun chasing David M in the early stages, was faster in some parts and slower in others but it evened out over a lap.
Got a ten second lead after David's mistake and lost most of it with a spin.
Gifted the class win to API when my machine froze for about a second when the chequered flag came out putting me into a wall.
A decent version of that track long/short would be quite fun - letting GT2 lap was awkward with a relatively small difference in speed.
Well done to winners and finishers.

Nice to see a new track being tried, but unfortunately that version was alright for a bit of one off fun... but sadly that's about it Just a few to many bumps & potholes. Finished about 10 mins early too  But as I said, had a bit of fun. Tried out the old 996 (I think? ) as it's a quite nice drive, though a bit off pace from the other GT2's. Sadly I had a couple of moments of driving like a plonker & pitted for repairs + new tyres  which kind of ended any chance of catching back up to the guys ahead. Looking forward to next week |

Just a reminder : starting procedure  Sorry about setting pit limiter too soon - forgot the s/f line isn't beside pits.  |
