It is because of a massive conspiracy from a numerous of goverments trying to supress the simracing community into buying World of Warcraft.
The connection to most racing servers and lobbies has been cut and they are now also trying to stob developers making more race games. The upcomming title by SimBin, RaceON has been canceled also now and the company has converted to extending the WOW world by making new islands for you to travel to.

See it to believe it they say....

I cannot show it to you as they would have to kill me if I did..  

PS: thats what you get for spamming your problems

So you applied the fixGTL 'patch' ? If you're on Vista or win7 you need to right click and select 'Run as Administrator'.

...I didn't even know there was an CMD file to fix this for GTL. I just manually edited my hosts file to make the server change. If you can't get the fix to work you can always just use notepad to edit the hosts file located in your '\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc' folder. Just add the line: "81.3.59.61 www.gtl-server2.net".
I have no problem connecting, but man is it ever woefully slow to download setup files. Of course my truly craptastic Internet connection doesn't help.

Command file wouldn't work on vista, even as admin.

Manual edit of hosts file worked a charm though.
