Lacetti is here, Download the Top gear test track from the tracks section of No Grip and post your times here. No Cheating!!!! Fast times will require fixed photograph identification!

[FourWheelDrift]

Best to post replay files, so people don't submit flying laps. As laps need to be standing starts.

[LukeBird]

Now that sounds like fun!
I shall d/load when I'm back home!

Awesome, I was looking for this a while back.

Edit: Balls, just noticed that this is for GTR2 not rFactor

You turn left and follow the road down until you see the kerbs which mark out Gambon corner which comes in from the left and then the start/finish line is just a bit further along. Stop just before the line across the track then do the lap as it is on the TV


I've just had a quick go, managed a 1m43.9s

We have a benchmark!

[LukeBird]

Downloaded and copied over to the directory.
Shall test tomorrow!

[LukeBird]

I have the track, but can't seem to get the car working...
I extracted it exactly as it said in the ReadMe (slightly different to extracting to the 'teams' file as per normal) but I don't see the car in GTR2?
Any simple things I may not have done?
Love the track though...
Hard the Murci R-GT doing a few laps!
Can't hit 200mph down the runway though, even without a braking zone!

[FourWheelDrift]

Should be a "Reasonably-Priced Car" folder in your teams folder and SIM_TOPGEAR.gdb file and SIM_TOPGEAR.TGA logo file in the Gamedata folder. Plus an RPC folder in your sounds folder. Then just navigate through the car selection screen until you see it.

[LukeBird]

All the files are present and correct, but nothing in the cars menu in game...

ETA Will have to do some more investigations tomorrow, must sleep now!!

Ha! This looks ace, but alas I don't have GTR2 Off to Ebay...

I've also done the Top Gear Track in GTR-Evolution with the Koenigsegg CCX road car and recorded a standing start lap of 1m11s, 6 secs faster than the Stig

My lap in the K'Egg CCX - http://www.mercia.biz/GTRE/TopGear_KEGG-1m11s.Vcr

[LukeBird]

I'm going to clear out the files in the directory for the Lacetti and re-extract them.
Beyond that, any other ideas?
Any help will be gratefully received!

Hehe, had a go in that myself, 1.12 something, it's quite a beast to drve fast! especially using manual and clutch. I was struggling to get near the CCX time with the two lower class GT's.

[LukeBird]

I managed to get the Murci R-GT down to a 1.09.7 (standing start, obviously!) , but with a bit of tweaking and more practice I could drop a bit more. A touch too much understeer, but cracking fun!
Annoyingly I can't get the Lacetti to work...
Is anyone else running GTR2 on the retail patch, is that likely to be a problem?
