i musta been practising on easy cos that was hard, took me a while to get use to no grip with my crap setup.
Damn it was depressing, and sorry to that dude that hit me while i was on the racing line on the second race, i had a puncture and i didnt notice till i reached the first straight, car was turning right into wall.

overall a good learning experience, i've learnt how shit i am in GTR

Hauptmann

http://gtr-sc.zapto.org/ preliminary until the following are fixed or next race. Whichever comes first.

Flyboy - Choose your car. Not your fault you can't choose one till you've been accepted (stupid system).

diseased and RONWEST - need to register. Once registered send me and/or UnbounD a pm so we can accept you and you can choose your car.

Viking - You need to make sure your "GTR nickname" in your info is the same as in-game. Your in-game name is "Viking" and I think you've put it on the site as "Viking 443"

Points will are only preliminary until these things have been corrected. Before next week please. Once next weeks results are added your out of luck.

If your practising offline you should be in simulation mode with all aids off except low abs and low traction control. (Well you can have them off but most of us have them on low.

Oh and auto clutch on as well unless you like using a button for your clutch

That was so enjoyable, best yet. I did my best ever laps in the races, just trying to be consistant. It may be just the Lister but WTF, had two unannounced spins in both races entering the pit straight, in a staright line and around she goes - even with low-traction on

. Great fun though when you don't get stuttering all over the place

done. What's the deal with the section for "Skins"?

Growler · Post by **Growler** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 8:48 am

That was very close racing last night. Although I didn't do that well, there was some good dicing going on.
My apologies for hitting who ever it was at the start of race one.
Boy did you get some height!!! Does anyone have a screen shot of that at all?

Not being used. The site has support for uploading custom skinned cars. But it's too much trouble to use skins as they all have to be loaded on the server as well as all the individuals systems.

I've accepted you diseased so you can select the car you were driving as the instructions on the previous page show.

No one accepts him!

Yes I had some good racing esp in race 2 - was going well with Valiant for a few laps there - couldnt help but notice it was Famin that nudged him off at the last chicane before home straight., with only a lap or 2 to go.

I see we have a non-original GTR track for race 3 - where do I find this again and will it be the right version etc....

Apols. Entered login, rather than driver name by mistake. Have changed it.

RedValiant · Post by **RedValiant** » Wed Sep 21, 2005 11:57 pm

No issue with Famin's hardball driving. I saw Famin in my mirrors and missed the turn in to the chicane and collected the one on the exit...he was on my tail as I bounced off line and we connected. that's the way it goes really; you have to be on for every inch of every lap. Good dicing with the two other Listers in race 2, no match for thoses Lambos though. was interesting to see where the Lister was better than nearly every other car into hard braking zones- like The infield hairpin. They'd work really well on the tighter tracks i think. Roll on next week.
