David Kennard / Team MBR / #14

Sorry about the smoke, whoever was following me.

I thought I'd risk 1 rad in the second race but that was a bad idea.

Stev8 - nice pass on lap 2 (race 2)

Good racing with you guys. I'll be gone next weekend, but I look forward to racing with you after that...

I haven't used GTR2 in a long time. First race, I found new and interesting ways to screw up. A double-tap downshift in the final turn is just what's needed for a spin, and messing with an uncooperative HUD display is a good path to the beach. And... the best... Not having enough fuel puts a cherry on top.

Getting all that out my system, the second race went fine. A good start by David K dropped me to third. It stayed that way until DBR9 decided to make it interesting by giving up the lead, and he dropped from first to third. When he got back up to speed, it was no use trying to hold him back -- and I wanted to turn him loose on David in the lead, to see if they'd do something silly together. That was a good win for David.

Good stuff --

I must remember in future races when there's a restart and i lose my qualifying possition to end up at the back not to say "shall we just race" I soon realised in these cars there is no catching up and was gutted to find the qual positions from the first race stood for the second race.

In both races i was quite aggressive in the first few laps trying not to stay at the back, in the first race i rear ended Ben, then in the second i side swiped Kev causing him to spin, sorry to both i was a bit rusty i havn't raced for about 6 weeks. Oh and i made a very ambitious pass on Col scraping his car hope it didn't cause any lasting paint damage. btw that was me driving behind you Col in the smoke i was surprised how long your engine seemed to last.

I enjoyed racing again and look forward to the next one.

Brno is up for practice (track is included in GTR2)

If anyone has a vcr of the first race, please send it to me. I have the q/r stats for both races and the 2nd vcr file. TIA.

I don't see the practice server listed in the lobby ... is there anything specific we need to do? (sorry, I'm unfamiliar with GTR2 multiplayer).

Hi Haphazard,

Do you have your GTR2 set to "Simulation" mode?
Unlike GTL where you see all of the servers, in GTR2 you will only see the servers that match your setting (Novice, Semi-Pro and Simulation).

On your main screen click the "Realism" tab on the bottom and on that screen at the top you will see "Difficulty" with left and right arrows.
Click the arrows to choose simulation and you should then see the server when you join the lobby.

See you on track at the next race.

Thanks David. I can now see the practice server. Incidentally, I don't see the password listed anywhere here. Any pointers?

Edit: sussed it, nevermind.
