$^#$&%# class tab. Thanks.

My cable modem is having some major issues with dropped packets. I have a service appointment sometime between 2 and 5pm tomorrow. I will try to attend this race meeting but I mnay not be able to connect, if I do I may disco, and if I do manage to start I might have to bow out. Just a heads up.

Hmm, I might be able to jump in to this race tomorrow. I'll have to see what cars are left?

Are you guys making many changes on the baseline setup for the cars?

Nope, the bimmers run pretty decent (IMO) out-of-the-box. Love to see you run a few races stranger.

Whew! Another terrific track and good racing with this fun mod, but GTR2 was showing a stubborn streak again today. In spite of all good intentions and efforts, racing finished 30 minutes over the time allocated for the event. To those who couldn't stay, my apologies and we will try again on the 19th at Brand Hatch.

The utility was not loaded today because I thought it would add an additional layer of software that couldn't help GTR2 behave any better. But maybe we should try it and see if it helps things along. The utility has some issues of it's own, but lets see if those can be offset by it's benefits.

Two requests.

We still have a few drivers not monitoring on Teamspeak. Please activate it for monitoring the race. You do not need to speak, just monitor it.

Unless someone knows some trickery, there is no way that I'm aware of to add players once the event turns from practice to qualification. If there is, please let us know! So anyone arriving past 15 minutes after the hour is out of luck. Today there were at least two drivers bounced out (including me, the cheater ) so that still left us with a screwed-up qualifying session.

Thanks to everyone for showing-up today (14 drivers in total) and we hope to see you at Brands Hatch on 19 July.

I will have to look into the dedi server settings that we run but we have always been able to join during qualification over at ADC and other places I race, it is warm-up that is a closed session.


The first race was very intense, Frank got a bit ahead of us but Ahmad, Dan and myself were battling it out tooth and nail (or bumper and door handles) and I had a great time. Sorry for your freeze Ahmad otherwise it would have been a 3 way battle for P2 at the end.

2nd race Dan and I got a great start, helped by the fact that pole position cannot see the start lights in these cars (try starting with the hood cam next time and then switch back to cockpit).
But Dan got a gap on me that I could not get back to so P1-P3 were about 4-5 secs apart for most of the race.

Congrats to Frank for the win in R1 and to Dan for the win in R2. I am very happy to get a P3 and P2 for Brno and look forward to the next event.

Thanks, David K

Thanks David! That would be very much appreciated! Fact that you guys are doing it through quali sounds like I'm missing something in the files.

Race 1: Got a good start and retained the lead for a number of laps but I was a little off the pace so Nimrud and eventually DBR and Kennard were able to catch and pass me. I was just managing to hold onto the back of Kennard before GTR decided to freeze for about 30 seconds before coming back. I heard a big crash and the front of my car was gone. Sorry to PK who apparently had to avoid me but at least I woke him up early!

Race 2: This one was more exciting as I was dueling with PK for the first half of the race with LC about a second or two behind me. I was quicker than PK through the infield and would close up but my line out of the last corner was not so good and he would pull away again. It was a fun battle until LC decided to suddenly find another gear and he was all over me. I was defending against LC which was slowing both of us down and letting PK drive away.

Eventually LC got past but then I tapped him, sorry, still getting used to this GTR online business, didn't look like we touched. I let him back by and we resumed the battle. He then made a mistake and I was able to repass him but again he was too fast on the straight and passed me again. I was now 5th and trying to hang onto him when I saw him slow down after the finish line with one lap still remaining. I knew that he thought the race was over and flew by him. He quickly noticed his mistake and tried desperately to gain the position back. On the 2nd last corner of the race I squeezed him to the inside but he outbroke himself and went wide, I cut back on the inside and was able to beat him to the line for fourth place.

Good racing guys

Sorry I missed it - got caught up watching the Wimbledon final (which was epic)!
