22.00 (CEST): Warm up => 5 mins.

22.05 (CEST): Race start => standing start –  90 mins free strategy


Race’s info:
Weather: Sun
Rules: those of common sense and those reported by F.I.P.V
- During the Official qualifying and race sessions the use of the chat  is forbidden. However, limit its use to avoid  discomfort to others drivers, and especially do not  use the chat leaving the car on the track. TS usage is strongly raccomended.
- In case you have to leave your playseat for a long time, please abandon the server, because you could block eventual votes for the advancement of sessions.
- If you're engaged in a hotlap but a driver behind you comes much faster, you are obliged to let him pass, trying not to ruin his lap. At the same time the oncoming driver must use headlights to signal his urgency to overtake. If you already know you're not making a good lap, avoid the use of lights or disturb the other drivers.
- If you are coming back on track after a mistake, pay obsessive attention returning on track
- In the case of spin, rollover or accident avoid to stand in the middle of the track, press the ESC key quickly avoiding to harm whoever comes.
- During training sessions avoid as much as possible to hold the server in race session especially in 4/5 users during the busiest hours In this way you will not allow the access those who want to train; server will be restarted every time the Race direction deems necessary to stop any abuse regarding this.
- At the end of your race, wait until all drivers have finished their race, avoiding to disturb them using the chat.

Server informations:
Server Name: VDA PnG @ Istanbul
Password: to be requested via pm

After the race will be started the server can be restarted only under a decision of Race Direction and only due to a catastrophic event  affecting the race start!

Remembering to test the server downloads before the race day to avoid any kind of issues,
VDA Staff looks forward to see many of you on track!

For further information fell free to ask!

Hmmm....might be interested........as it's the only offer I've had Grin  Seriously though, I'll let you know Clive; I had a quick turn round here in the Elan the other night and it seemed to have a mind of it's own, swapping ends on me at every opportunity. I'll give it another try and see if I'm going to be any good to you.

We got a team!  

If you can tame the Elan then we have You[Elan], Me[Cobra], Mark Craggs[Cobra] and Lorenzo[Elan].

I had better download the track.

Do we have to bugger about with the Elan File if we are driving the Cobra?  Grin


PS  Could do with an idiot's guide on what to do with the Elan file.  When I download them they come without a file suffix although I have realised that they are .rar files.

Ok guys, I've signed up your team Smiley

Just a few news for the race guys:

- We decided that it's allowed to choose all the Lotus Elan of the group, so... even the Willment Wink
- 289 Coupè seems to be slightly advantaged during the first laps, cause of its engine power on the straights, and it's really an hard work to overtake the american beast... but after some laps the Elans will have an advantage in terms of tyre wear, so I'll bet in some come back before the pit, in which Elans don't need a tyre change like the 289 probably, but without changing the tyres last laps will be an hell for the 289...
- Remember to install the modified engine file for the Lotus, or you will get booted as a possible cheat on the server!!! Wink. Re-install the original one it will takes you only 20 seconds, with the self-extractor that you find in the first post!
-That's the link to the 289 Coupè setup of Lele. For me it's really good => http://www.humyo.com/FCrSYMC/289%204.svm?a=m1XHlq_iWtY. That's a setup for the Elan, but I don't know the property Smiley => http://www.humyo.com/FCrSYMC/Elan%20.svm?a=67LzWwxaEMU
-At the moment Estonia vs Italy = 1-0
- To have an idea of the best laps in qualif fuel, you can look at the VDA Live Timing http://62.149.209.93/LiveTiming3/lt/statistiche.aspx?Pista=6Istanbul

I think that's all. I will send the server password to Clive and goldtop, so you can try if it's all ok with the server.
Cu soon Smiley

That's great guys, I had a blast with a different setup in the Elan and it seems better. I'll get those files sorted out.

When you install the track it installs an Elan Lotus file.  But which one is it?  I assumed that it was the modified one and that the "original" was on the other file.

Yes Clive, modified engine file is with the track. The original engine file is alone.

I did a series at nasasimracing a while back where the series leaders were in a 289 cobra and a lotus elan. When dealing with pit stops, the Elan has a good measure over the cobra as it is better on tires and much better on fuel. The races were always interesting. If the track has a long enough straight, the power of the cobra can offset the fuel advantage.

HELP!!!!!!


Need lots of wise words.

In between the two Gamers crib races tonight I id my usual Defrag of the PnG folder uing Game Booster but now PnG will not run.

The culprit seemto be a file called binkw32.dll but I cn't see it on the disc.  Guess it gets unpacked during installation.

Hmm............    Just hd a thought.  The GTR2 instllation should have a good one of those.  I will copy it aross.

If that doesn't work then I'm going to need to know how to get out of this mess.

Please!!!

EDIT 1
Nope, that didn't work.
Is there an alternative to a complete reinstall?
This is the message:


...........and it appears before the screen with the three GT40s and the bloke with a flag.
