i had a bad start of the race lost 2 places into T1 then had 2 spins because i was pushing to hard to catch up! shame because i think me and gary were pritty level on pace and it would of been nice to put him under a bit more pressure.but thats racing and i`m happy with 2nd for my first GT2 race, thanks to race department for a great race and see you all at the next one

 

[Ricky Willox]

[Jarrod Crossley]

If your patch wont run under vista: right click the patches .exe and select "properites" inthe Properties window hit the "compatability" tab and add a tick to the "Run this program in compatabilty mode for" and from the drop down select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)", it should now run.

That was a mental accident Winston for one thing lol
All I really remember was coming up to Coppice trying to pass you on the outside whilst you were trying the same with someone else. As I started to run out of road I tried to turn in and keep myself on the track, unfortunately the piece of track I tried to move across to was occupied by your car and the result was your screenies! It was quite surreal from an in-car view as all I saw for a few seconds was sky/ground, sky/ground!
Shame that the game auto-rights the car as that would have been a legendary retirement lol
I think my best bet now is to keep practising offline and once I move in with the other half, set my laptop up on a table and get a wheel - a pad is fine for Race07, GTL and rFactor but GTR2 isnt too keen on them!

After the qualy results I felt quite confident and chose a safe setup that would avoid any tyre shredding and engine issues which, in the long, was perhaps the right choice. The race started well and Luis and I had some nice moments. Then, he had a moment and dropped a couple of positions but fought back. Unfortunately, he was then blighted with connection probs (saw his car stationary on the track at one point) until he disco'd . This left Ian Wilton in a close second but then, probably due to differing tyre compounds, I started to slowly pull away. Then, the gap jumped - he obviously pitted - which left me with a comfortable gap till the finish.


I have to say a big thanks to the rest of the drivers as they were very courteous - I think my girly-pink car brought the gentlemen out of them . And sorry about spoiling the battle, that turned out to be for position, which I came across in the final corners. At the time I wasn’t certain if it was for position as one car was flashing lights and then at the next corner the other car seemed to back off. Also, at that point, I was selfishly just focusing on getting my car across the line.



Thanks to the RD

Mate, watching the replay makes it all worth it fella, that was the nuts of an accident!
Shame we dont get points for Crash of the Day! lol.

Hell yeah bud, a mate tries to use a 360 pad, he does well, but hes yet to finish in the points, if ya get my drift...

Great race guys!

Le Mans 24H - Revived Edition

A friend of mine has updated Frank55 remake of Sylvain Glapa's Le Mans track.

You can find it here. NoGrip :: GTR2 Downloads - Le Mans 24H - Revived Edition


The Readme:

- - - - - - - - - - - Le Mans 24H, Revived Edition v1.0 - - - - - - - - - - -
The Track:
This version is based on Frank.55's conversion made for GTR2, previously made by Silvain Glapa for NR2003.
Permission for this modification has been granted by Frank.55

- - - - - - - - - - - Revived Features - - - - - - - - - - -
This has been an on/off project, and I have no list of all the fixed/improvements.
A few of the main tweaks are however:
Rain-reflections added
Better surface-physics (now feels like they look)
LOD-trimming
HAT-polycount decreased to less that 50% (faster loading and better performance, especially with AIs)
Lots of new textures
Extensive new treeline
Windows-reflections
X-Sector fixes - no more loosing a lap
FlickerFree HUD/Cockpit (entire track has been offset to fit 'world-center' - use included devfiles )
Tested with 50 AIs @ acceptable FPS
New CAMs done by Mayo, thanx.
Selectable level of detail: Medium disables treeshadows, Low disables also Light-Glows (except REDs)
50/100/150/300 -signs now has a night-reflection look to them, making them easier to see
Gravelpits will slow vehicle down faster to avoid fatal crashes, you may however need to use the clutch to get back on track
Cones are no longer moveable, however they WILL effect the handling of you car.
Roadblocks and invisible walls added to prevent driver from trackexit into free space

- - - - - - - - - - - Regarding Flickering - - - - - - - - - - -

By my experience, the optimal way to remove or limit flickering on this circuit is by using the defviews.cam
file included, which is to be copied to \GTR2\UserData\
And in game-options for graphics/video choose the FULL-settings defaults. Otherwise play around with settings.
This is NOT a quarantied method, but it did remove flicker for several people, lets hope you can be added
to the list. You will however, properly still get some when in TV-mode or Swing-cam - I have NOT gone thru
all the settings for each of these CAMs, be my guest...
- - - - - - - - - - -
This track is now useable for actual 24 Hour events, which was done succesfully allready in 2007 - Prior to
this event we found that several issues had to be fixed, and this is now the outcome as we are closing up
to our 2008-event. Hope you all enjoy the track, and a big thank goes to all who have helped testing and
pointing out bug and solutions. And ofcourse to Sylvain Glapa and Frank.55 for all their work.

WiZPER, 2008
