Works fine for me Tim, did you add \GameData\Locations folder?
Let me know if you still battle.

Thanks Christo, sorted. I copied all the *.mas files to \GameData\Locations as well and it worked.

Crazy track btw!! No idea how I'm going to finish this one

We will be using a rolling start here as well. Please be careful on the out lap behind the safety car as it will rather go very slow through some tight corners towards the end of the lap. Do not go into cars in front or spin out. And please follow the rules as posted here (the last post) http://www.shadowracingrsa.net/t527-2015-gt3-championship-round-7-5th-oct

Very tricky track but so awarding when doing good laps here, so lots of practice laps will help a lot.
I just tested the rolling start and it works great. Remember as I mentioned in another post that the leader and all those behind him stay in same gear and only start racing flat out when crossing the start line. Everyone stay in position until after the line to avoid penalties and re-starts. The safety car will pull off to the left into the pits. Good idea to practice the start off line as well.
Above all, enjoy the race.

This was a VERY VERY tough race, and to make it even tougher was the fact that the tyres could not last half the race distance. So from lap 14 to 20 and 34 to 40 one had to be so careful.
I qualified in 3rd place, started well and found myself in the lead after a while. Then I did my pit stop with Dereck just behind, and was caught speeding in the pit lane - damn that was a bad one. So from the LEAD I had to pit and watch Dereck and Rob passing me as I drove down pit lane. At least I could pass Rob again and got a second place, UNTIL I (yes you guessed it) hit a tyre barrier and lost a front left tyre. Luckily there were only 2 laps remaining BUT Shawn, Dirk and Gary passed me. With a lot of retirements I managed a 5th place in the end.
Out of the 13 starters only 6 finished.
Well done to Dereck, Shawn, Dirk, Gary, me and Francois.

It was absolutely tuff. The most difficult and demanding track I have done ever. It was very good to finish in the front for this one.
Well done to everyone who manage to finish this one... even you Christo
A special thank you to Francois and Gary for driving super well when overtaking. On this track was impossible to pass and you guys keep it very fair. I have lot of respect for the real CART drivers who drive this tracks.

Well done to all the drivers that finished! I had no pace whatsoever on this track and tried my best, but lost my front wheel on lap 4 with a huge crash

Hi all,

What a track! I love this track, but on the 14th lap the track decided to divorce me.

Had my best qualifying session coming 4th and all was going well, I was a bit slow getting off the start and got took by a few cars, but that pretty normal for me, but as already said by others this track is very hard to overtake on, so I could close on the car in front but could not get a clean pass. So I decided to wait for my one pit stop as in testing my tyres were holding up very well and my hope was others would be struggling at the end of a session or stopping twice.

My plan seemed to be going well, until the car in front made a small mistake and I was able to close fast, having a mad rush of blood to my head I thought if I could go through the fast S chicane behind and make a pass on the short straight before the two left handers. That’s when the first bollard I swear jumped in front of me, I then preformed a triple toe loop, two cartwheels and a hand stand. Game Over!

To all the guys who finished this race well done and massive respect, it was tough tight and hard.
