[Mike Miller]

I'm back online! I have done no testing and I'm downloading the content now. I also twisted my ankle yesterday while scraping almost an inch of ice off my driveway. It should be an interesting event for me.

hello,

i have a problem...
i was in ukgtl server with 2 or 3 other people, everything ok.
then did SQTER jump in the server and his name did always blink, blink, blink endless.

what can be the problem? it normaly is something with skins in GTR2.
i saw he did take a triumph, so i did install the download triumph thing again, but same result,
if i did jump in server and do load the names, always SQTER did blink, blink without end.

what can i do?
i have install the ducfreak soundthing too, after i did install all addon cars.

was hopeing i can do this race, but looks not good now... :'(

Have decided to try and get back into GTL and PnG. Shall be turning up for this. LEts hope not everyone is in the Lotus hey?

Berger, Sqter was in the Ferrari 275. Are you sure you have installed it?

[Mike Miller]

It seems like the Ford Escort is not available. How am I supposed to determine which car I should drive to have a competitive race if I have no idea what others are driving?

[Mike Miller]

I just tried to join and got Cosworth's name in a constant flash. I installed the skin pack too.
Hope this can be sorted fairly quickly because I have 0 setups for any of these cars with the exception of the Jag and Aston.

i know now spannner,

my problem was, that i had only a blue 275 and the 274 from sqter i had to buy, and many other 275 i did quick buy.
perhaps this is problem, that he did drive with a car, which i did not had (grey colour)
if this is the problem, then i have to buy every car which can be take for this race.
good that i have this cheat money thing.
hope this is problem.

I did not realize the cars must be downloaded as well as purchased. Is this correct?

[Berger R - 74]

YES, congrats on the preparation put in for this event Mike

BTW I can see the Escort in Multiplayer now. I may have had missed a car out so sorry for that.

The forums just started working again for me less than an hour ago.

I am not aware you need to buy everything, but they do need to be there
Lat night I missed out one of the 3 TR4 skins for GC and I got the flashing join error untill
I remembered to unzip the last one.

Right load of salmon for me. too many cars to choose with no time to test
jag was a mistake. should have stuck with TVR  or  Elan and 904
ah well

hello,

this GTL are not easy to drive.

i did improve my laptime in quali a lot and did a 1.18.8xx what was 5ht place.

i had big problems in fight in this cars, if someone is close in front of me, the cars are hard to controll.
during the race i did many many mistakes and so i ended in 9th place, but did 4th fastest race laptime, which i am happy with,
but not with my driving, after perhaps lap 20 i did any spins in corners where before i can easy drive, it looks like the tyres was already not good,
but in XD i had only around 4 or 5% tyre out, so this makes me a bit , what happens now...

it was not easy for me to come to good laptimes (for me) in this cars, but in end i was happy with laptimes, now i have to work more for my constants in the races.

hope i can do any more races.

congrats to mike m. and podiums and all other which did finish with this dangerous cars

I figured out the setup for the TVR late in the practice session. It was a challenging car to drive. The fact that I looped the car twice in the race helps to prove that. A lot of power and a a short wheelbase = a squirley little car. Ade also made some mistakes. Sqter wasn't quite as quick, but his mistakes, if any, were minor and allowed him to challenge for the top spot with 3 laps to go.

I was getting better traction exiting the turn that leads onto the long straight. I got by Sqtr at the end of the straight earlier in the race after one of my miss-haps. I went for the same move late in the race, but wasn't fully fast him entering the quick left at the end of the straight. He was on the inside and got loose entering the turn and made slight contact with me sending me straight off and he in a spin. I made sure not do make any mroe mistakes after that.

I hope he wasn't upset. He left quite quickly after the race.
