XD was giving me issues. I had to delete it to run Evo/Race 07 but, I have not installed it since the XD update. It should be fine now from what I hear.

just done some laps round here, what a track !! very tricky to learn and master though, very technical, can see why the F1 boys love it, especially turn 8 multi-apex at high speed Some tricky bumps to catch you out in some corners, particularly braking hard into bumpy off camber T1. The improved ffb really comes into play here, my eyeballs were shaking ! Looks great too 1:53's with race fuel so far, in the Aston for me.

Just been having a quick go & these cars are just like our GTR2 'GT1' cars, too fast & lary for my tastes. It is a tough track for them though.

i did any laps and i think 1.51.xxx are my racelaptimes as long as tyres are good. it looks like the fuel do hold easy for 40min. and the tyres should be ok too for 40min. (perhaps 22laps). so i do not know what i should do in pitstop, i do not need to do anything in pitbox, tyres and fuel will be ok, perhaps i do change tyres? or i do start with less fuel and do any litres in pitbox fuelmake? not sure GTRevo cars i have always problems with the corners, it looks always, that the car is much slower in corners then in GTR2, more understeer in corners it looks like, but in push push out of corners i have sometimes problems that car will do make suddently spin in low gear, (perhaps snap oversteer is name? did read this somewhere, but not sure if this is correct name for this) servus

Pit Stops: You must make a minimum of one pit stop during which you must take on at least 1 litre of fuel and/or change at least two tyres. You cannot take a mandatory stop at the end of the pace lap, or with less than 1 lap to go.
That says it all, Berger. I must say I prefer Sport class from Pro. Pro class feels overpowered to me and negates some of the fun. On the other hand, Club (?) class feels underpowered / boring to drive unless there's a close fight with someone.

Another update for Race again today and it has stopped XD again. If anyone can't load the game all of a sudden then delete XD from the Race07 folder. That is what happened to me last time they did this but, it is loading up OK this time, it just gives funny values for tyre wear and temp and brake temp. Nice track.

How many AI cars do we want? I was thinking of 2 or none if we can do that in the settings (I am still not familiar with this game at all at the moment, sorry). I am still not sure about how to pit. I found this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1v8Lr1Xsywbut, he is still using computer control in pits and not manual. The official web site for Race roughly says 'WTCC cars dont have pit stops so we dont use them in the game' I am assuming that has now changed for Evo. When pitting we stop on the arrow, correct? How do we know when we have had pit work done and we can drive off again? Also, does the game do GTR2 style - the amount you set is the amount it will fill up to in the pit - or does it add what you set to whatever you have already? Sorry for the noob questions but, I though this game was supposed to be more user friendly to help the console owners and I am failing at basic steps.

I'm always scared when Steam updates. Indeed. It has been great for getting some good deals but, any game that I am really serious about, I really do not want it on steam. Auto updates that you cant ignore and have to be logged into steam, it sucks. I am absolutely praying that GTR3 and rFactor2 are not steam only. Is Race 07 and GTR Evo available in non steam? I know that Race was for a while at least.
