Race 07 Caterham European Tour - Brno (1987 ) - Jan 19

Agree with Spanner mostly and would add: RD and GC are mostly 'cause of the decline of activity here. If you ask me, this is till my home League and would like it to stay this way. There's enough drivers here still, just too much different sims going on. Might it be better to have our most attended sim here on an elite day and do other sims on other sites / servers?

... runs to fetch the anti-rotten-tomato-shield...

Sorry mate, that's not quite correct.
Due to a decline here, a lot of us are having to find races elsewhere (ie RD & GC).
It is a subtle but important difference.

I'd imagine more people would have Race07, GTRevo is an addon to it. If you have Evo then you have Race.

Not if you get it on steam;  Race 07 is £3 extra just now, or you can buy Race 07 and get GTR Evo at £3 extra.  I've only ever seen GTR Evo for sale on DVD in the shops and, like mine you normally get Race 07 with it.

I'm not sure reducing the amount of sims will have much effect, although I do see how it could.  IMO its just been a bit slow coming the use of Race 07 or GTR evo, most people have established themselves elsewhere long before the races started properly here.  I only joined in here as I'm an active driver in UKGPL and am too lazy to go searching for, and getting used to the ways of a new forum; well that and I like the way this forum works with all the information in one place on the race threads.

Its a tricky one.  I'm afraid I'm not very good a suggesting new ideas.

Don't let me go quoting Kevin Kline from "Wanda" about the English ... 
Anyways, it's nicer to drive on a full server, even if not all of them are your long known and trusted friends.

I was about to write a similar reply when i read spanners post !  Its lack of activity, low turnouts and resistance to moving forward that are making me look elsewhere for my racing buzz. As TT says, this is my racing home, has been for many years now, but sadly its definitely hanging on by its fingernails for GT racing and decent grids. I'd rather race a full grid of 28 latest GT cars elsewhere than a grid of 8-12 here using old car sets even if my regular racing buddies arent with me.   If we dont move with the flow, we get left behind and i think as a few of us have started looking around we realise that this place has been left behind. I also blame those iR blaggards too though ! Even my own team nicked two new drivers that i recruited in quick succession to the dark side that is iR

Lol MJ.
Well, I'd love to have'em here but whatever makes them happy, you know. You might also say they moved forward while we're hanging back and falling behind. I know, I know, it's a heresy.

yeah you probably have me there TT  they do say we hang onto the past and iR is the future and probably right in some respects but iR still doesnt give you proper GT racing 2-3yrs after its launch !....ooh, vette versus...err another vette, versus another vette, what an exciting grid line up 

Even Evo is about 2 years old now!

I've decided that in view of the declining numbers, it's best that I call time on this series 

I believe congratulations are in order for Ade for the championship win and Lazlow and TT as podies. Not forgetting another bit of silverware for us Kerbies in the team results   

Thanks to all that took part.

On a positive note, it does leave the way clear for a few Evo test races on alternative Wednesdays if desired.

Hm, ended? Well... ok. Grats on podys and teams and all these. Not bad, considering I learned what a Caterham is only joining the first race. We doin' GT Sport class next time out?
