Big tanks to Simon Smith for his great commentary.
Wow movie with commentary!!!! :thumb: Thanks guys fantastic
thanks Jari & Simon for that great movie
Fantastic, and with commetary too, it can't get any better! or can it?
I see a open spot at the RD GT1. Does that have to be a corvette?!? so no then maybe I am intrested.
superb job by: Jari, Simon and all the guys who were on track @ virtual Brno last Sunday. Love it!
Only one who may feel a little miffed is David Garcia, who gets loads of airtime but isn't identified (it's the STC Lister in positions 4-8 at various stages of the race). Better luck next time David.

well it's obviously up for race direction to decide, but if I get this correctly, this open spot is reserved for the winner af last weekend's grid2.
James Johnson
The Weatherman
The last one is only avaliable to winners of the C5R Races.
then let nr race in his place....
the winners lose I say
the winners lose I say
OK thanks that's good.
OK here it is its a load of crap but it was the best I could come up with so soon.
I have M.V Scheppingen tuned down the side as it is his tune I use so I thought it would good to have his name on the side so his work is reconised because it really is a fantastic tune I hated the corvette I really did but thanks to this guy I look forward to driving this car top work mate.
I made better car skins for the C5R one was a really cool looking Austin powers skin with a British flag draped over the hole car with Austin powers on one side saying YEA BABY and the character fat b#####d saying GET IN MY BELLY with mini me on the other side flicking him the middle finger I found it quite a funny skin but then I finished it and thought hmmm Austin powers international British man of mystery with a giant British flag draped over an American car it just didnt fit so I decided against it lol maybe I will keep it for another car.

Meet Lister Racing
When it comes to the harsh world of sim-racing, the word ‘team’ is loosely applied. Often times it’s simply a term used for a group of guys with nothing in common but the same livery--and in American Nascar, they don’t even share that. Reality is, motorsport is quite unique in the fact that the ‘team’ could lose, but a driver on that team could win. It turns this motorsport business into a dog-eat-dog world, where it’s not about team, but the individual driver. That being said, the RD GT1 blog will take a close look at each of the championship’s 8 manufacturers, and examine them to find out if they house just a collection of drivers, or if team is the center of their operation. Today, we’ll take a look at Lister Racing.
David Garcia and Xose' Estrada are two normal guys. You know, the type that speak multiple languages as fluently as Schumi through a chicane and have no problems pumping a grand touring beast 150 plus mph down a straight. That type of normal. As these bilingual Spaniards were hard at work deep in the garages of Spa Francoshamps—the site of this weekend’s RD GT1 championship—we pulled them aside for an interview. Luckily for us, they happily obliged.
After we all got setup in a nice area Lister Racing provided for us, the first question I asked them was how they were getting on with their car, the Lister Storm.
“Well, the Lister is a good car,” said David, reclining back in his chair,the smell of oil still fresh on him. “Yeah, it’s not the fastest on a straights or the easiest car to go through a corner, but with a proper setup we can make it work really well.”
Xose was quick to jump in, although providing a slightly different perspective. “I have problems finding my limits in the GT Pro cars, the Lister being no exception. I think there are two main reasons for this, one is my lack of experience with these cars and in general with RWD cars. The other reason is I normally focus on Touring Cars since I started simracing three years ago.”
The two drivers had an up and down week this past Sunday at Brno. In fact, David Garcia was running on p4 for most of the event before a miss calculation in pit-stop strategy and late-race miss cues saw him shuffled back to 15th, where he would finish the race. I asked him if there was more pressure now to have a good round at Spa after such a disappointing finish at Brno.
David shrugged, “The pressure is always there—when you get on a race track you know it’s not for an easy ride. But in a way, I don’t really put emphasis on getting a top score each race, but for doing my best.“
Xose had a more even keeled event. He was never too far up the field, but also didn’t have to suffer such an epic order drop late in the race. Still, questions are emerging about Xose’ pace in the GT cars, and whether or not he can challenge his car-mates in the standings. I put the question simply, asking him if he has the pace to beat David and Martin.
A smiled lurked across Xose’ face as he looked over at teammate David, who glared back at Xose’ awaiting his response. “Speaking in Racedepartment league terms,“ Xose’ began” with the classic Racedepartment Touring Car Championship 4 group system, David is considered a group 1 guy. Meanwhile I’m more of a group 2 driver. Yeah, I have beaten him before on occasion, but….” Xose’ let go a chuckle before continuing, “we call him "The Flying Squid" for a reason.“
David also joined his mate in a laugh, as he appreciated Xose’ half stepping around the question.
It was obvious these two had a good working relationship. I could tell they were true friends, guys who enjoyed hanging around one another. Spectators and other media outlets have also noted the duos bond, as they routinely practice in tandem on track and run the same livery. I asked them where such a bond formed.
“We are friends with capital letters,” David began, “we know each other personally and share a lot of common interests, such as motorsport. We also talk on the telephone almost daily, we have common projects together as Simracing Team Challange, etc. When it comes to racing together as a team, we both drive for The Black Rebel sim racing team for years now, and we know more or less what driving style we have, so working together in the development of a setup is quite easy for us. These are the reasons why it is easy to find us training together before a race.”
Xose’ spoke up and also commented. “We are friends in real life, and Spaniards, so all that helps to make things really easy when it comes to preparing for the races. David is also founder of The Black Rebels Simracing Team, and I was there since the beginning. I discovered simracing and TBR at the same time so I don't understand one thing without the other. “
I wrapped up the intreview by asking them about their goals for the season. Both of the young drivers agreed it was about doing their best, not so much beating the other manufacturers. Even though Xose’admited a top 3 spot for Lister Racing is certainly within reach.
We at the RD GT1 blog would like to thank Lister Racing for cooperating with us in allowing their drivers to take part in the interview. And we would like to, of course, thank both David Garcia and Xose’ Estrada for taking the time to sit down with us. Unfortunately, Lister Racing’s leading man, Martin Vrba, was unable to take part. He was delayed in getting to Belgium because his flight was postponed. However, we do expect him to be on the grid for tomorrow’s event at Spa, which is the important thing.
In conclusion, it would seem that the group of guys at Lister Racing are definitely a team orianted bunch. Hey, maybe motorsport isn't perfect, but once in a while, it can be a team game.
That’s it for the GT blog today. See you next time!

Please upload your replay file´s specially if you had a action packed race.
Thanks again and good luck.
Thanks again and good luck.
I do remember blowing qualy and then binning it in the barrier twice however (once with a little help from Fernando
)
Brilliant job Danny. I really enjoyed reading this.
Guys I fear the first corner of this race with 24 cars on cold tires going through a damped Eau Rouge (rouge = red = blood = death
why not make the start at the top of eau rouge instead the buttom of eau rouge ?

Well, the real track has 2 grids basicly...one is on the straight that leads to eau rouge, the other one is located between the bus stop chicane and the final hairpin. I'm not sure the track textures in game are correct but starting there should keep everything nice and clean...
The two grids @ Spa...
