Thanks for posting, but I get an error 404.
I assume you have to release the file to public.

How about now?

Working fine now Dragob, some brilliant pix there. Thanks for sharing

great stuff!

If I'll get better (back and hip issues), maybe I can watch some of these cars in Spa at the 6 hours. Still 10 days to go ...

I wish you best of luck.
PS. In addition I got autographs from Gijs van Lennep and Jurgen Barth. They drove the magnificent Porsche 917/30 CanAm and 962 respectively.

Excellent!!

When you see pictures like this it makes you wonder why GTL and P&G cars don't look like that when you race them... I think the simple answer is lack of grip all round.

I've heard it said that the tires on Sim cars are taken seriously enough and I think this could be very true. In the real world the tires are really important to the handling of a car or motorbike and that's probably why we get such close racing with all cars in a race being on the same rubber.

What do the rest of you chaps and chapesses think?

Yes without upsetting the purist I have always said the tyres for GTR2 and GTL are rubbish and do not behave as they would in the real world. There are only a few that do and that's all I use in my modifications just look at your in game replays it says it all.

thats the trouble with swing axils, if you are forced to back off the throttle mid corner ,you get jacking so fast; very few can catch it and a roll over is typical - as a teenager I watched racing triumph heralds do just that in the hands of amateurs -

yes many cars in replay lift a front wheel like that, almost all the Trans-am cars before you adjust the anti roll bars.
the 911s too.
