Wow! That version of the Ring is great! I really need to work on it to turn out fast laps though so I don't embarrass GBR!

Don't worry, I have that role covered. At some point in this I'll hit one of those monster curbs and flip it.
Two hours... damn. I did a 60 min race over at iRacing tonight and it was a challenge to stay focused...

I wouldn't worry about turning fast laps Kelly. The key here is going to be finishing. The last Enduro (2 years ago), then entire grid had a 50% retire rate (only 9 of 18 finished). I think running at 85%, to avoid walls and punctures will save time in the long run. Get a flat 1/4 of the way through the lap, you'll loose 2 minutes easy trying to limp around, vs 10 seconds a lap. I need to run more laps though...thus far I've completed 1. I keep getting caught up in the glorious sound...then overdrive the car into a corner. If I can control myself, the car itself is quite nice to drive. Just need to work on the nut behind the wheel.

When I've done my 6 hour stints on Forza, I generally run about 80-90% and I will do the same here. I'm just getting pinched because there are some sections I'm used to running the curbs on the Forza version that are eating me here.
Question. Do the efnet guys put any restrictions on assists. I usually run with everything off but put TC on low last night for shits and giggles and it helped way more than I had thought. I would like to use it but don't want to rely on something that might not be allowed.
Cheers!

That would be a good question. I know I've never run assists in the past. Yeah, you definitely stay off the curbs here. I snuffed the Viper hard a few times trying my typical Forza lines.....and running full sim damage.....meant a few restarts from the pits.

Oh totally! I had a spectacular rollover last night after the bimmer protested my chosen line! I will just run sans assists then to be safe.
Cheers!

Yup, just heard back from Tiger. No assist except for auto-clutch if you desire.

Finally was able to run 2 laps consecutively w/o getting run off the track by AI. 9:17.0. How far off the pace am I?

Haven't done a flying lap here without damage yet The curbing is brutal in this version. I did a 9:58 with a destroyed front left suspension.

Not far at all. My *mostly* clean lap (a few cutting the grass, but no spins etc) was a 9:07. I know I can get it sub 9 no problem with more runs.
I agree that the curbing is what is causing me the most grief. I'll hook a wheel on it and then I'm in recovery mode. I love the challenge though, its great fun.
Cheers!

How about that Karussell? My Viper scrapes going into it like an air-ride bug w/ blown out bags. ;D You guys saw they are running the Round 7 layout right? Sounds like KJ is going to have it up on a server within a week or so. I was running Round 1 last night...holy fog batman!

I am going to try to get setup for this. Download the mod along with GTR Evolution. Just can't find the time yet to put it together Let me know if you go to sign up at efnet & I'll let Tiger know to watch for you.

I have signed up at EFNET as OldSlowFred (go figure ) Also, got the VLN 2005 mod installed and I think it is working. Took a turn around Norschiefe in a Porsche (can do that here unlike a certain not to be named game ) Quite a nice take on that track, seemed like a lot better sense of elevation than in the other games I have driven this track plus if possible generally felt more narrow Not sure what cars are valid for this though, will have to go back and reread this thread
