TO get used to the cars, it has been decided to race at Road America which you all know well for the first round.

PLEASE SIGN UP ON THE MAIN THREAD AND YOU MAY NOT CHANGE CAR AFTER THE FIRST RACE

Cant wait, i have high expectations f good close racing with these cars. No one will have easy wins it seems. I imagine there will be many packs of cars stuff together like glue!

this ADAC series will be epic!! close racing with some of the most beautiful cars on track!
bring them on!!

Informative video for me.

Awesome video
Thanks for sharing

Only problem is I think he could learn a thing or 2 from all of us because he is only doing a 2.08.9
Ha ha ha ha ha

Haha, no problem!

Getting a "GALLARDO_LP540.HDV" mismatch that kicks me from the server. I have:

- updated to v1.27
- placed the fix for the mod
- placed the extra cars

Looking forward to solutions, thanks!

Howzit!

You have othe rGT mods installed that use the same model. Blancpain or a GT1 mod seem the common ones that cause the issue. Remove those then try again. If there are 2 of the same, it chooses the first.

Yay, worked! Thank you very much, Denis!

Ready for tonight are we??

I think so.....

Server live timing is down right now! Server is shown but shows no times posted!

Just reset the server..Give it a few minutes.

EDIT: FIXED

Thanks Kevin!

Pleasure Denis!

Do we have to install the small update?

Would recommend to do so. Like you pointed out, it's small, so why take the risk of letting something minor ruin your racing?

Wow, what a wake up call! Going to have to practise a lot more to be at least in the middle of the pack.

Sorry Chad for bumping you! Totally my mistake.

Congrats to all that finished!

Wel done to the podium guys. Some excellent times there at the front!!!

This was intense racing and "hard work", but good fun.

Well done to all that finished

Tough races tonight.
Race 1 start saw my L/C playing up again resulting in a immediate drive thru for jumping the start. &$@?!!!
Race 2 bit better, did a late pitstop, finished p7. Some points at least.

WD to all the podium finishes and Eugene for race 2 win.
Race 1 was a good race for me...got pole and from the start pulled away and went into cruise mode, then came out pits in 3rd! Right behind Christo. I passed Christo then caught Eugene only to see him spin off! So fairly easy win.

Race 2 tried going on full tanks to make up on pit stops, but car would not stop. Eugene was really good on brakes so i tried to defend but slid off into the dirt hitting the wall then had to fight the car to pits and then drive with damage the rest of the race. Managed to salvage 9th place.

Well done to everyone for good race starts..very little impact form anyone. Nice clean driving well done considering such a big field!

No problem Tim - I consider it a racing incident , although the car that went off track and then came back on in front of us was more at fault
Craig - sorry for nearly taking you out twice - first was returning to track - Z4 minus wing was all over , second - coming out of the pits accidentally hit my pit limiterand was like a tourist in the middle of the track
All in all some enjoyable racing - although the pit damage penalties are a bit mixed up - 46 seconds for a light tap ( Race 1 ) , same pit damage penalty for replacing wings etc ?

The start of race 1 was a bit of a mess for me …started just fine, minding my own business,  keeping my line then suddenly received a tap on my right side which knocked me onto the grass, I thought I had got away with it but then my car hit a slope which launched me back across the track  resulting in contact with 2 drivers   …one was Marius & I’m not sure who the other driver was but my apologies go out to them…nothing I could do about it unfortunately. I started with full fuel to save time in the pit stop so pitted very early, ended up finishing 8th which under the circumstances was a great result.

Race 2 was much better, although I did make a couple of costly mistakes. Early on Ken was pushing me along and putting in a big effort to keep me honest,  so much so I span the car at the right hander after the long straight. A couple of laps later I decide to pit, much to my surprise Denis was just heading into the pit as well, as he said Denis had damage, I was only going in for tyres so past Denis in the pits, probably the only time I would ever pass Denis so I duly savoured the moment.  From there on I was pushing hard, made up a few places, then two laps from the end I think it was Ryan who span at the last corner, I got by him on the straight and was thinking of defending the inside line but it was too late to do that, kept my normal line, Ryan pulled out of my slip stream but then ran wide & I got the position back. Then also at the last corner Marius was just recovering from a spin, I just manage to squeeze past him and maintain 6th place.
Congrats to Denis & Razor, likewise everyone else for making my evening enjoyable

On a related topic about the cars, I know they have  different or subtle handling characteristics and I’m wondering if that will have the effect of various cars more suited to a certain type of circuit. Some cars for example seem more stable under braking than others and that may have a positive effect on those drivers when we hit a tighter/more braking involved type of circuit...guess we will find out soon enough.

Regards,
Bret

A nice subtle little return for me. Practise was naturally limited and i struggled a bit with the car sliding all over the show. Next thing i got sent a whole bunch of setups (thanks guys) and started working through them. Eventually ended up with Ken's one and after some aero changes i could start putting times in. Qualy 1 was not really to good. Then again, i seldom bother to much with qualy. Race 1 and i got a good start off the line. Made up some places with cars spinning and then had a nice fight with Shawn. Must apologise to Shawn for race 1 and 2 if it looked like i was cutting your nose off. But you Ford fits perfectly in my rear wing and i would often loose sight of you. Unfortunately he span and i was able to continue on the a 4th place finish (or was it 5th)

Qualy 2 was much better and i was near the front.
The race however did not go to plan as i looked like a ballet dancer doing twirls off the track. The cost me time and also some further time in the pits. Spent the race trying to catch up to people. Made a few places, but not many. Was still good fun. Apologies to Kevin again for the possible touch. As i mentioned we were side by side and then your car dissapeared. I kept to the inside in the hope to not possibly hit you. But when you appeared again it was a pic of you flying into the sand.
Now onto the next event and here is hoping i can do some praccy.

just the damage was high way too high for these cars...
