So while i wait for my GTR Evo copy to arrive, i read that EVO doesn't come with the official FIA GT championships... so i went and found myself a copy of GTR2 to get stuck in until i can check out EVO.

And oohh is it good! *big grin*

Now, as i mentioned i used to skin back in the day for GTR under the name [lSd]Whistler, [lSd] beeing my racing team i used to race a couple of seasons in the Jolt TRM online league with my buddy.
That was some of the best racing i've ever had! god they were fun!
We used to run 1,5 hour endurance races in a championship format after the FIA GT one.
We had several 2 man teams, season skin packs, driver and team standings, the lot...
We did the whole race weekend, 1 or 2 practices, 2 qualies and then the race.
my old GTR team, pre season reveal.


Now i've been digging into GTR2, i'm pleased to see lots of new talent got into the scene, and some very skilled new skinners that weren't around for GTR1!
Also pleased to see that the standard in GTR2 for releasing skins has become releasing them as a seperate car, making things alot easier when it comes to organising custom championships!

So, this topic is to gauge any interest in joining a TG racing league!
I'd be heading up the organisation of it all, and i could skin a car for you or your team if you don't want to drive an excisting race car, create an easy to install, 1file download, championship including the teams and skins etc.
I don't have my evo copy yet (or looked at the mods and skins for Evo), so i can't comment on wich would be best suitable out of the 2, so exlain your vote if you will.

I myself quite like the roughness of GTR2, it's not as hard as the first, but it's close.
I've also been tinkering with skins and mods for the game and so far i've been able to create quite a nice, diverse GT field that runs without any problems or errors consisting of:

- Corvette C5-R
- Corvette C6-R
- Ferrari 550
- Ferrari 575
- Viper GTS
- Saleen S7-R
- Masserati MC-12
- Lister Storm
- Porsche GT2
- Lamborghini Murcielago
- Lamborghini Gallardo
- Audi R8
- Ford GT

I've also got all of the skins of the FIA GT 09 season to go on the cars that ran in it

As for a season format of the top of my head and very open to suggestions

- a couple of pre-season test races to get a feel of it and attract drivers
- 10 rounds , 1 round every 2 weeks on a set day, say sundays?
- Driver and Team championship styled after the FIA GT, 2 cars per team MAX
- 1x 20/30 min practice ?
- 2x 15/20 min qualifying?
- 1hour and 10 min race? to force everyone to make atleast 1 pitstop for fuel
- if enough interest/ or wanting to spice things up, we can run a mixed championship and standings for GT and GT2 cars ?
- Clean racing is a must

As for a server, if there is enough interest in this, i'll have something to approach the higher ups to see if we can borrow a server every 2 weeks for a couple of hours.

So, who is up for this?? :D ]]> TG Racing League (TGRL) sturgis http://www.tacticalgamer.com/tg-racing-league-tgrl/150402-interest-gtr2-gtr-evo-racing-league.html http://www.tacticalgamer.com/tg-racing-league-tgrl/149652-race-07-a.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:48:08 GMT heya guys

With the FIA GT season reaching its end this weekend, i figured i'd bust out my wheel and GTR copy and have a go before i'm off to watch the last race this weekend in Zolder.

However, my computer seems to have issiues running GTR, as no matter how i test it, it always seems to give me "lagspikes" lasting a half a second to a second... not often, sometimes i'm fine for 2-3 rounds, but often enough it makes it impossible to race, especially if you like to do long endurance races.

So i figured the time might have come to retire the old behemoth...snif snif...
Looking at steam Race07 was only 5$ so i figured i'd get that first to see if the same happens with that game, it is afterall the same engine as GTR, and am happy to report it runs very smooth!

Played a few hours online last night and was amazed and pleased at the discipline of the pilots online! i actually got some very good races in!

Shame about the poor car and track selection (no zolder or spa??), I had a look for mods and it's abit confusing there doesn't seem to be much out there for race07 specificly, some sites lump all the gtr2/evo/race07 mods under the same category? what's up with that?

anyone still play race07 here? Will probably get evo soon aswell, as i can't see these touring cars satisfying my endurance needs for long :) ]]> TG Racing League (TGRL) sturgis http://www.tacticalgamer.com/tg-racing-league-tgrl/149652-race-07-a.html
