GOOD LUCK ALL

Hi Kevin.

There seems to be a issue with the track, i get the .tdf file clash. Has the server been updated to 1.02 grip?

I get the same error Denis, will check with Kevin later.

Please make sure that EVERYTHING is working BEFORE Sunday and you can join the server.
The server has been updated with the 1.02 grip levels.

Make sure your speakers are ON.

The Road America circuit is a awesome track for these cars. I don't get much chance to race online but i raced there off line many times.

Great track. Did a few laps with the Porsche last night. I love it!

Hi Guys.

Some helps please
I have tried to download road America from here and TS but when I try join the server I get stuck on the loading screen

Any suggestions ?

Try the one at the top of the page. It's new'
If that doesn't work, you are installing it wrong.

Both times I have tried to download from the mega links it gets to the download page and won't start

Ryan, Internet Explorer don't like Mega and Mediafire downloads. Did you try using Firefox instead?

WE WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE NIPPON CARS UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON

I think thats the best choice too thanks Kevin. Next season we can tackle the other cars if need be!

Not a goood start race 1-corner 1 went off in gravel end of race1for me :-(

Only did 1st race. With only 10 laps of practice 5th was pretty good.

Luck was not on my side tonight.

Managed some decent times for 2 poles, but race 1 i had a random spin i still cant figure out why, and race 2...the server and i decided to stop talking to one another, yet teamspeak worked fine!

So now i have a long road ahead to try catch Christo and Gustav.

Well done to all tonight though, nice clean starts at the front anyway! Some good racing in the pack too!

Race 2 not very much better tho. Q p13 was not ideal. Anyway i did finish at least.

Much say BIG congrats to KEn on his 1st podium!!
Well done mate! Great racing!!

First race I got wiped out from behind ! Very unfortunate because I was coming up nicely through the field. Second race i had a great start and fought hard to keep the position. I finished 10th. I am very satisfied with the position. I also had a heap of fun.

Very big congrats to Ken's 1st podium, hope its the first of many!

Well done Ken!

Very well done to all the podium finishers and congrats Ken!

Excellent drive, you deserve the podium!

Shawn, I see you were just 2 seconds behind Ken!

Well done Kevin with two solid results as well.

Race 1 - I had a fast start, but had to lift the accelerator to avoid a crash and then I spun because the LC disabled - At least I learned a lot, so this shouldn't happen again.
Recovered to 5th place but by then my tires did 13 laps and I made another mistake. Managed to finish the race though.

Race 2 - Another good start but had to swerve for the Venom racing car that looked like it stalled, only to see the car re-appear in front of me again...

Got passed by 4 or 5 cars and think I got some damage. Spun off at first corner as the car wouldn't turn in for some reason or driver mistake.

Although I did not get the results, I still enjoyed the racing and I'm very happy with my pace in these cars.

Thanks for hosting!

Had a good evenings racing.....with Flu.

Qualified towards the back for both races but I always seem to do better during the race, worked this time.

R1
Got off to a slowish start but hung in behind 4 other cars and just didn't allow them to pull away. Kind of dragged me along.
Pitted very late, lap 12 I think and was in 6th place when I rejoined the track. Stayed there till the end.

R2
Got away to a better start this time and slotted into 8th place with cars all around me for most of my first stint. Pitted very late again and this seemed to pay off as I rejoined in 5th with a nice gap to the guy behind me. Came home in 5th with no real problems.

Thank you to all the drivers that took part and to my team-mate......WELL DONE MY BUDDY. KK Racing did well in the second race.

@Kevin. Great racing mate!!! Looking good in P9 mate!

+1 for you!!
