Donington, come one, come all. This is the final race of the current season.


After this we will be looking at doing single make Cup races, either Escorts, Single make Porsche/TVR/Corvettes/Morgans or Saleens Cups (the add-ons you download that give loads of different car skins) or due out any day now the McLaren Cup. :yes: :)

As for tomorrow nights race I'm going to be racing a Morgan NGT car :D

Bloody hell, moving to NGT for the last in the season! I suppose with the championship victory cemented already, it matters not a jot what you drive!

I'm sticking with my yellow saleen tonight. How many of us will there be? Names here please!

I'll be there.

I just realised I nobbled myself last week by opting to go GT due to the lack of NGT cars. I potentially lost out on loads of points

......and now you fast guys are going NGT I'll lose even more

Might just go Saleen

I emailed Sammie last night (14/08/2005 21:55:34) with a Monday night reminder for Donington.

Possibly still to start it?

MY GOD I HATE THIS GAME.

All got in a server except me, it kept saying "server full" even though it clearly bloody wasn't.

Oh well, another wash out this week.

The server is up.. not sure why you can't see it. Maybe more problems with the SimBin lobby?

I don't know. There was no indication of that when I launched the server. I uninstalled GTR from my home machine, due to my frustration with the lack of support from SimBin in regards to dedicated server hosting. I only kept it on the server for your league. Anyway, sorry you weren't able to use it. I hope everything worked out.

Sammie, the SimBin multiplayer code is utter utter rubbish, I don't blame you for uninstalling, last night I wanted to throw my PC out the window!

We managed to have two seperate races in the end, so no harm done.

Right up until I crashed out, ours was quite a good one too, with myself, PetrolVapour and Michael Cowley running at very similar speeds.

I even managed to make my tyres last almost 20 minutes!

My PC kept freezing whilst I was trying to qualify - hence the trips into the barrier.

I decided to call it a day then.

Found out afterward Norton was trying to download updates in the background

Must remember to turn live update off when trying to race......... DOH!!

Hope you guys had a good race.

MJ402 and I had a pretty close race in the NGT class. We can't have been more than 20 secs apart for most of the race with each of us taking turns to be 2nd and 3rd whilst FWD raced off into the distance.

After qualifying it was obvious FWD would zoom off so I chose to do a very careful 40 minute stint followed by a 20 minute 'barnstormer' hoping that I would be temporarily in the lead when FWD came in for his pitstop However, he managed to get about 1:20 in the lead so was able to pit and then get out about 15 secs before me - drat!

Luckily for me the Morgans engine went BOOM on FWD and I won by default in the reliable old Porker - Hurrah

looked FWD but it is empty anywhere else?

Had a fun race with Mike and Dobbo untill Dobbo 'Stacked it' you left some nice darkys on the track Dobbo, last corner was'nt it? made me chuckle, as did mikes joke LMAO.

Bit booring for Ian though, sry Ian, I think by the time me and Mike had arsed about you'd lapped me about 5 times

Chris - Sorry you were havin PC issues, I thought you just got negged out with the crashing & gave up, glad to hear it was'nt the latter reckon a good 4 way battle would have been on the cards........

Liked the Corvette but not as quick as the 550 round Donny, but Barcelona I find it is

Master Yoda (FWD) - I dont like the 60min races, low attention threshold, special needs an all that, you know........ can we make them shorter and maybe have two? I think there are a few of us now wanting shorter races.........

1st-Ian / 2nd-Pvapour / 3rd Mike / 4th-Dobbo(Ben)

I thought turning the rev limit up on the Morgan might be a bit dodgy.

The Red Arrows have nothing on me and my smoke trails.
