Race to test the track.

I had originally said the race would be Barcelona but, I have now decided to change to Bahrain. Sorry to anyone that had already practised for Barcelona.

[Legzy]

Nice.

[Dave 'Gizmo' Gymer]

Bulletproof vests optional?

[blito]

actually, this isnt too bad a track although i feel i will be quite a long way off the pace once more!

[Legzy]

As a finger in the air time to aim for, I'm guessing a 54 won't be too far off

[blito]

i`m only at 2:02 so far but that was on an unaltered default setup.
I should be able to get some meaningful practise in over the next few days to try and see what works for me. Any setups stashed anywhere that people would care to share?

[JonM_uk]

Here's one I tried earlier

Setup/Replay

Managed 1-51-9 in qually mode but am hoping for 1-53's for race pace.
Hope it helps

[blito]

Thank you very much for that Jon - I will try it when i get some practise in on Saturday.. I will be happy just to be under 2:00 in race pace i think.

[blito]

Pardon me for being dumb, but what exactly am I supposed to do with the setup file? I cant see where it should go 

[Legzy]

Somewhere like:
c:\gtr2\usersettings\legzy\locations\bahrain

[spanner]

Tracks go in gamedata/locations!

I

[Legzy]

Yeah tracks do Spanner, but setups go roughly where I said 

[blito]

Thanks for the setup Jon.
I seem to be able to run in the 55`s with out too much trouble, although in the race I shall probably choose to take it easy - we dont want any noobie spins now do we
PB is presently 1:55.1

[Truetom]

Nice going, buddy. Setting up a car is half of the race pace. I always feel handicapped 'cause I don't really know what things mean and must ever try all the changes on track.    

"must ever try" - found this in some book. Is it used like this or how?
