But the team is basking in your glory Jari. :worship: :handshake:

I'll be in. And my great car setup that worked at Spa is actually a nurburgring setup i found online and tweaked slightly. So i shouldn't need a lot of setup work , so i can focus on lapping practice.

Put me in for the race...

I too was getting this but after a fresh install it seems to be working fine. Perhaps removing all of your skins and reinstalling them may help.

Re-installing GTRE from Steam is very easy and quick, Bram has posted the procedure here in the forum somewhere.
It solves a lot of unwanted problems too.

Hmm, well I'm keen to race there, but given that I haven't turned a lap there yet in Evo (although I have done quite a few laps there in Gran Turismo and Forza) and that I'll be out of town starting tonight until a few hours before the race, I wouldn't be much of an asset to you guys.

I'll leave my spot open for anyone who can take my place, but I'll check back just before the race and if you'll otherwise be a car short then I'll tag along - I at least know the track well enough to not cause mass destruction, and by the end of it I'll know it pretty well, having done at least 14-15 whole laps of it (which on a sane track would be a sprint race :mad-tongue

Chris, I've added you as confirmed, we will undoubtedly be needing you and your Gumpert at this stage.

Rhys Gardiner · Apr 9, 2009

Holy Moley... I'm 6th, and the top RD driver at the moment... :shock: Wasn't expecting that.

Warren Dawes · Apr 9, 2009

Nice Rhys, you and Jari are flying our flag well. :clap:

I think you are the only RD driver to finish both races.

Warren Dawes · Apr 9, 2009

I suggest that anyone not fully familiar with the track spend some time on it, this one takes a long time to learn.
I haven't driven the full Nurburg before but have driven Nurburg GP and Nords, and it still took me a while to remember it.

Does anyone have any idea of their lap times yet?

I'm not sure I'll be running in this one, but had a few laps tonight just in case. My lap time was 8.27 and was pretty ugly (included some grass excursions

), so I should be able to slice a fair bit off that.
Getting the fuel planning correct will be important too, you won't want to be running out of fuel part way round. So I reccommend you check how much fuel a lap takes.
