I've got a DVD version of GTR Evo ie. Not a Steam version, that the league can have as I can't see me using it again (actually I'm not sure I've ever installed it)
Let me know where to post it if you want it!
Cheers, Ross.

I must agree with Pete (good move, Ross), buying stuff for a race with 3 people is not the option. Those (us) 3 can always go race elsewhere. We nned to find something with interest to race here. If it's iR, go for it, even if I'm not gonna do it.  |

slightly missing the point there TT, if we dont run some races and encourage people to try it, how the heck will people ever decide if its worth moving forward with. Going to stay with GTR2 until the dawn of time ?  Dont know what counts for much to persuade others but myself, TT and Lazlow at least have all had a go with the GT cars and said how great they are, and improve upon GTR2, and we are all long time sim racers, for what its worth. Its not even expensive to buy ! Isnt there a demo available for it that people can try? (though im always a bit skeptical about demos as they are generally rushed unfinished efforts). Im done with trying to convince anyone else as feel like its wasted breath  bit like the ir guys trying to convince me its worth the money and better than our GT racing  I can get my Evo GT fix at RD.  |

I thought you were all for it TT?  Which way is the wind blowing hey?  Clearly people seemed to have forgotten that the plan was to run some GTRevo races interspersed with the GTR2 races on sundays so here we are just bringing it forward on a seemingly free'er night. Thanks for the offer Ross, i'd be bitting your hand for it but clearly some need more convincing |

Meh.  I wanna say we can test elsewhere before getting into expenses here to buy a game for the server if we're not even sure if we'll get one season through. We do get a steady half-full  GTR2 grids, the problem seems to be Race'07. Yes, I have the whole game, was really a good price over the New year days, so why the heck didn't you guys all buy it? Go test the Pro class and Porsche Cup mode over at RD, so we can have decent debate here about weather it's worth buying for the server, i.e. will we drive the thing. Then we'll talk. |

Get it on Ebay for a few quid (that's what I'm doing ) and give it a go. I wish iRacing had the GT cars like the Lister etc, that Mustang just doesn't do it for me. |

The absolute best Demo I ever went on was the GTR demo. getting in that Lister Storm and blasting around Spa with the engine and transmission whine it was just heaven, things just couldn't get any better than that for me then.  Oh Happy days. you want to try some of the GT cars in evo at full chat then mister Leuven ! They sound and look glorious in it  That's what I was trying to get at about GT cars MJ, thats why I underlined GT in my post above, you knew that though really.  |

That would be great but, I think we need the steam version as we are using the steam version of Race07.  |

Surely all you need is the DVD key, register that on steam then download the content. With any DVD game that uses steam you can just download the content rather than using the disc.
Within Steam, you got to Games/ Activate a product on steam. It will then ask for the DVD/ CD key.

Spanner & I are at one on this. Though if Ross has registered it previously, we may need his details  |

The hard part maybe is we have a UKGTR Steam Account and Ross's code would have to be transferred to that I suspect. I also wonder if we can run an Evo and Race07 server at the same time off the one Steam account or whether it's one or the other as they are essentially the same game, Evo being a mod to 7.

you have to be careful here, for if Ross has already registered his steam account with his copy of evo, they will not let another customer use it. It flags up the activation code as already in use. But if he didnt, your fine.

Well he said he's not installed it! From what i understand you can run multiple dedicated servers. I thought it was looked into a while ago, the race07 ded server is used and will list the evo content. http://www.gtr-evolution.com/support.htmThe last question here talks about running multiple instances on Vista and they recommend using XP for running multiple versions. i.e so you can run multiple instances of it. And as we are using the lobby in game it sholdnt be an issue connecting up to the specifc version. |

I'm reasonably sure I never got round to installing it, but I may be wrong. I'm quite happy to give it Srou though if it helps!

If it makes things easier I'll purchase a copy for us (well, send funds so it can be bought on the steam account) we're already running Race 07 events, so the way I see it is that it would give us more options as an add on to that even if we don't decide to use it on a regular basis.
As an aside, I've been looking other sim racing sites and very few seem to be still running GTR2
