The wheelie seems to have disappeared now, so may have to mess with it again :|

A rough guide would be something like 1300bhp

I had a fairly quiet race, with no major offs or incidents, though I did notice my position change from 5th to 6th a lot without seeing anyone so I wonder if that was the invisible Rebelstar

I kept station about 6 seconds behind PVA for most of the race with Uncledave a similar amount behind until Neil suddenly appeared in my mirror trying very hard to unlap himself. I kept letting him past but he kept going off and reappearing very quickly behind me. I kept watching him so much that Uncle started to catch quite worryingly with about 5 laps to go, but luckily Neil then had a big off and I could relax until the end

Can we ditch the custom cars?

I'm sure it's causing a few problems. I know it's fun, but the racing without disconnects, invisible cars is more fun

BTW - I have forgot to pay and I want to Can someone send me the email address or paypal reference?

sorry the happy smiley was meant to indicate the non-agreessiveness of my comment

I also need a smiley for the loss of the cool cars and all the work Dave put into them for us.

I think the problems are generally client side but ther eis the weird server bug too.

I agree and am using both smilies to indicate my usual 'on the fence' attitude

We have never had so many glitches and problems with GTL since we started using custom cars, and on a personal note I have never had so many good finishes since I started using the standard blue car compared to all your lurid ones. All that extra paint is just slowing you guys down

I hate to be right in this case, but this is exactly what I thought would happen way back when the first custom cars and tracks started coming out. This is exactly what went wrong with GTR, it was great until add-ons and so on became available, then it all went to shite, the maseratis were great fun but we only had about one sucessful race in them!

I'd be quite happy with everyone running the standard blue Ferrari and being able to see them all

I also found my framerate to be quite poor at Brands with so many addon cars about.

I propose any league racing be on standard tracks with standard cars

Brands is quite bad for frame rate anyway, always has been right from the start, duno why :confuseed:

but quite happy to run normal cars as I can still beat Diver whatever the colour

Bit of a pisser for Dave though after all that work oh well, he's young and probably not got much else to do

If you are really going down that route - standard settings too - so as to ensure its the driver who wins the race.

The blue cars only is so that the game works for everyone.

I don't think it needs to be extended to setup though.

There's no way to monitor setups.
