I'm guessing the practice night of the 5th of July will be pushed out a bit?

Updated for those who can't spell...

I'm back from WOT, got myself a shiny new wheel, might have to break out the Volvo for a spin

Will be great to have you on track again kiwibrick 

What wheel did you get ?

G27, fixing to make some carbon bits for it soon too think I.

My old wheel was a very old thrustmaster, had to update win7 and there was no drivers available for it and was about the same time I started playing WOT.

Race start date updated.

Bugger about the drivers, but you will be happy with the G27 anyway 
If you need any setting for the G27, don't hesitate to ask.

I'm very keen to get back in this series.

Any idea on circuits, mod restrictions etc?

Details coming soon...

Tested a couple of cars now (at Bathurst), should be very interesting over all the cars depending how the race structure is set out.

I don't like the Nissan R32 much due to handling, maybe its the 4WD ? (Also because of the 1992 Bathurst ) but it is fast !! Darren W has a 2:15 flat, but it may be able to peak into the 2:14's ?

The VL TWR seems a little slow over a lap (may of needed more tuning ?), but it handles very well & managed a 2:16.9

BMW M3 EVO could be a dark horse ? Its a loose cannon, but if you can tune it out I think it could be right up there !
Managed a flat 2:16 in it.

Haven't driven the Sierra yet, but id say it will be right there with the R32 & M3 Evo somewhere.

Please let me know what the latest downloads are for TCL?

Cheers Corty.
I was hoping to have 4 - 5 cars with a similar lap time. Even though it may not he historically correct, it does provide closer racing.

put me in a Skyline, you in an Alfa and Corty in a Corolla and we might get similar lap tomes...

Actually like the corolla, it's bloody awesome on tight tracks, not so much bathurst though lol.

the 4wd gives alot of understeer but you can set it up to be tolerable corty. will be good to see how skyline goes during the races against rs500, m3 evos and commos

I'd be pretty keen to run a few Rounds here & there... Where can i get the latest updates... Skyline etc

THERES A R32 AND XJS ZIP FILES IN TTR'S TEAMSPEAK TO GET

Had a go in the XJS last night, pretty fun beast to slide around!
Think I am going to have to cnc out a buck and make some 1/10th lexan bodies of it for my rc car

I might jump on tonight for some laps...

while youre at cnc kiwi can you do a group c rx7 shell for TT01

Got a 3d model?
I know of quite a few weirdos that would like an rx7 body, I happen to have a tt01 collecting dust on the shelf here, I have a nib E30 evo shell for it too.

Managed to get the Jag down to a 2:17 flat last night, but think it could sneak into the 16's on a perfect lap.

Nice

Does anyone else think the VL TWR could do with a little extra of something ?
My best in it so far is a 2:16.859
My times in:
Sierra = 2:14.389
R32 = 2:14.758 (A little more in it)
M3 EVO =2:16.026
Jag = 2:17.078 (A little more in it)
Its getting smashed by the Sierra, R32, M3 EVO & even the Jag can match the TWR's pace.  

What do you guys think ?

the bombadore can stay at the back where it belongs

the track selections are really good, i think different tracks suit a few different cars.

Bathurst (Enduro to kick it off!) - sierra
Hungary - sierra / m3 evo
Mt Fuji - sierra / skyline
Spa - sierra
Nurburgring - if its the full track it'd be any car that stays off the walls
Laguna Seca - sierra / skyline
Hockenhiem 2014 - skyline
Jarama - skyline

CAMS may give it a new inlet manifold midway through the season Corty

Sounds good to me, not really a fan of the full track.

The modern one should even out some of the cars anyway, we normally have good racing there.

Hi. Thanks for approval, I downloaded the TCL update with the Jag\ Skyline addon but when I open up the Skyline all the cars are black? Any help would be appreciated,Thanks Pete.

Hi PeterR & welcome to TTR !

That's weird ? sounds like its not loading the skins up ?
Have made sure all the folders are right or maybe a reinstall ?

Low in-game graphics settings and/or running the game in DX7 can make cars display like that, but I don't think that's ever been a problem with TCL. Might be worth a try anyway.

Sorry I missed last night's practice runs, but I had trouble finding the latest TCL download the 'Downloads" link returns:

Were you getting it from here:

Thanks Corty, I had to put a new drive in (an SSD )
and now need to cleaning install a few items.
Cheers,Bruce

ide like to see the vl given some more power.. maybe keep adding power until it can match the others down conrod in top speed?

Couple of questions:

What layout of Fuji?

Any comments about car choice for a slow driver?   I prefer lower powered, more nimble cars (so normally choose the opposite to Flattop ;-) ).   In this mod I have only ever used the M3 and Volvo and Rover.

We will be using the Virtua LM version. I haven't decided on the layout as yet...

That one worked for me. You do have to log in. We could also look at the 2010 version in the TTR downloads, but I think there were issues with people getting DQ'ed when going to race.

Yeah I wasn't logged in, I'll give it another go tonight.

Just had a go while logged in & the link still don't work ?
