UKPnG Season 2 - Classic Cup - Lakeside - Mar 4

[Clive Loynes]

The Mini is probably your best bet Mr Oily.

So long as you can do the FWD thing it gives the easiest fast ride.

When driving the Healey the minis seem to get inside and appear from your door pockets just when you thought you were getting it right!

[phspok]

Unless someone chooses something to be different (nowt wrong with that IMHO) On pace it will be a battle between
Big Squealies and a horde of 970S minis like piranhas nibbling at their flanks. I can get better consistent pace in the mini
though I fully expect to have Healeys sail past with a 10 mph speed advantage on the straight.

[Mike Miller]

Here is my Mini setup. Check the fuel. It is close, I created before knowing how many laps the race would be. Try to not let the car slide. Follow the black rubber marks on track to the letter. Think about this while driving the Mini - "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line". You don't always need to track out while using the Mini.

Cheers Clive, Ade was trying to talk me into the same thing last night but I'm not a big FWD fan I must admit.

Thanks for that Mike, will give those settings a go although I actually quite fancy putting some more time in using the Abarth still if you reckon it's capable of a lot quicker but will have to see if there are some others up for the challenge too so I've got half a chance of rubbing some door handles tonight!

[pribeiro]

It's nice to see you back Mr_oily,. I am tempted to drive the Cortina...god knows why...

[mr_oily]

Aww you say the sweetest things Paulo   . Will park the Mazda up for the night I reckon.

Seriously though, I thought the Tina would be a dead cert as it's mighty in GTL but I cannot get it to stop understeering and gimme some goddamn tail action!

[Ade]

Last night I tried to run P&G for a few laps. Just when the screen changes to black to start the game,
I get a CTD with a windows error message.
I went to the P&G main folder and had copy/past the .exe file without success.
I even reinstalled the 'no CD patch' to the main folder, it didn't work aswell.
Windows XP home edition SP3 here.
Any sugestions that allow me to fix this for tonight's race, please? 

That happens to me if I've updated my graphics drivers or directX(it usually changes the graphics settings to one not supported), just run the game config and change your settings.   


                                                    Cheers Ade

[Mike Miller]

The Cortina would have been my 2nd choice. For me, it is the 2nd quickest car.

[Madd-RIP]

Same here, Mini quickest by some margin, although the Cortina is pretty good here, regular 1.06's in both.

[Mike Miller]

I'm not going to make it to the race guys. Work is getting in the way. Good luck to the Kerbies.

[Hotkeys]

Arghh ... yet another DNF for me   got bumped a litlle, nothing much, but then stupidly had to chat np mate instead of just racing on  and got so distracted, that I ended up spinning in front of 4 other cars --- pressed escape to avoid a mess in that turn.

T'was a great combo though

  Had a fantastic scrap with Ian early on but the Mini is just not quick enough in a straight line, I tried to hold on for as long as I could but he was pulling away slowly.

And so it carried on, I drove that mini's little wheels off all race! There were some hairy moments for both of us lapping cars but on the whole everyone was most generous, thanks! 

Congrats once again to Ian, good win. 

[phspok]

Excellent race, I was gifted a good start, then also was lucky in a traffic jam towards the end
I should have put the gearing lower, I was only hitting 7k by the end of the straight, and the other minis were picking me off
down the main straight, no matter, It was a train with CLive up front trying to keep up with Lorenzo, me Ade and Geoffers
playing tag as to who would hassle CLive, I suspect if Clive had had a wobbly somewhere and we all got past he would not
have caught us easily.

Congrats once again to Ian, good win.  

Cheers Matt, good win indeed. That was a very hard race. I pretty much drove at my 100% from the get go, knowing that one mistake and you were through. Very tough and rewarding race as a result

Looked like there were great scraps throughout the field and I'd say that the best car/track choice for fun so far. Even though people had their own concerns they still let me pass when they could, excellent stuff. Less chat would be nice though
