Guy's had to re-install GTR over the weekend - must have move / overwritten a file and corrupted the championship mode. Just about back up to speed but I've noticed that I cannot get the central mirror to toggle - any ideas?

Same format for tonight - meet at 9pm in the PH chatroom, how many we got for tonight’s race?

Virtual Mirror option needs to be ticked, not sure if anything else.

Yep, 9pm tonight, usual format GT's - 2 pitstops, NGT's - 1 pitstop.

the gt3 is a great car isn't it diver? takes a few laps to "get" it, but once you understand it its relaly rewarding to drive.

I'll be there in my 360 Modena, looking forward to it.

Just to clear something up, the GT3 car that Diver and co like, is it classed as NGT?? If not how is it classed??

Sorry for the thicko question.

P.S Just been practicing a bit on the LeMans course, very long!! Is a time of 4:14:?? good in a 360 Modena?? Getting about 173mph at the fastest point on the track.

Cheers all, see you later!

Oh well, I guess we'll have to meet in the chatroom and take it from there

There are problems with getting into the main lobby - if when you enter the lobby it says at the top of chat screen "backup lobby" then you need to quit and log in again until you get to the main lobby... thats where the PH chatroom is. It took me about 10 attempts until I made it...

Hmm... that was a bit of a mess...

when we finally got that public race going at spa I was p7 on the grid... I started and there were no cars anywhere... after the 1st lap i got the message "drop back, you're ahead of the car you should be following" and then after my 2nd I got the message "disqualified: lapped field multiple times" even though I hadn't seen another car...

public servers are perhaps left alone I think... Bit nasty.

Hopefully we can have our race at barcelona next week and all will be well... To anyone that hadn't come before, its not normally liek this

Oh yes... how come the race i hosted started with lights and not pace car? My GTR seems to inherit the settings of the race from the last server I raced on... So I last raced on the greatergreen one who have lights... so my GTR took on those settings... its really strange.

Sounds like I didn't miss much!

I guess if the PH server isn't available we should fall back to the old method (which I assume was someone hosting and everyone playing?)

I had a great race at Spa on the public server. I was one of the few in an NGT and was constantly blasted past going up the hill, but on the way back down again all the GT cars kept going off into the gravel and I'd retake them

Some guy called Camis in a 550 overtook me almost every lap and then I'd see him in the gravel a few corners later. I finished 4th in the end, though I think there were only 6 finishers (from 14 that started).

GreaterGreen seems to be the answer. I've only raced on it once but it was fine. If everyone else has used it lots with no problems then I'm happy to pay the fiver to secure it. I wanna make sure it works first and is also reliable tho ;-)

Must admit I was waiting till I'd had more than one race before finding FWD's post about donating to the server hosts...

I'm around for next weeks race, if donations are needed do we need to dig deep before then?

The idea was that we tested the response times and if satisfied gave the guys about a fiver each.

The test went fine and we've done two races on it. The only problems have been that the main lobby isn't always available.

Go to www.greatergreen.com then on the main page there is a section on the LHS about making a donation via paypal. That way or go direct to paypal, select "send money" then type in "paypal@greatergreen.com" as the recipient.

I made a donation today for the next race (I’m hopeful everything will be ok next Monday
