Nice!
Looks like i got plenty of mods to install for GTL, making it a whole new experience!

EDIT:And many of the tracks are ones i love!

Ehr... that was quick! very nice! and challenging yet again! wow!

Yeah, season will start next week Saturday after the raleigh fun run

Joo, great variety in the calendar as far as I can see.
But -if I may ask- is there any realistic chance to have an ESJ race at the "Nordschleife V2 Tourist" -no matter in what car(s)? I think it was said that the Nordschleife is too long which leads to boring races; but I remember a fantastic SJ event with the Cortina 2 years ago... Or is it the sheer level of difficulty that lead to an total abstinence of 'the Ring' in our GTL events?
Wouldn't we also drive the Targa Florio in spite of it's lenghts (ok, it's a GPL track still in development, but that's GTL car territory, isn't it?)
Just some thoughts from a passionate Tourist- and GTL North Loop Driver

[SJ]Kristof Huyck · « **Reply #5 on:** May 18, 2009, 08:38:53 pm »

Well, in GTL-SJC we have raced NS during the endurance season and recently NS was raced in the P&G Endurance season, so I do select it for schedule (while I don't really like the 'track')

The issues with Nordschleife is that it's a nice track/road to drive on your own, but because it's quite narrow (clean) passing is very difficult. Secondly there is the length of the track which makes it hard to memorize all the corners and also makes it less suitable for short events.
You also have to pick VLN or 24h version as otherwise you don't have good pit facilities

I'll already have ideas for S7

with NS on the calendar

Another great lineup! But, am I to understand this will be on Fridays instead of Saturdays?

If so, I guess I'm out.

Swoooosh! Another season of ESJ GTL planned, fantastic!

Race6.....the Belgian's gone mad, MAD I tell you!

Very good Kristof, it's THE combo!

Well, I'm busy with the new schedules, downloads, ... for both P&G-ESJ and GTL-ESJ and I guess I mixed them up when I wrote that

So the new GTL season will start next week on Saturday

Sweeeeet!!! I'm in!!

And thanks for all the effort in putting these melees together.

[SJ]arnospeed · « **Reply #12 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:03:31 pm »

Ok, thanks Kristof, and yes, I can follow every single argument. I know very well that I missed the endurance event at the N-Ring. Nevertheless I'd looking forward to having again an ESJ race there

Schöne Grüße!
Arno

[SJ]Stein · « **Reply #13 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:11:01 pm »

Well.. since Arno is whining about Nordschleife... i'll forward Zandvoort then!

WOof ~ Woof

[SJ]arnospeed · « **Reply #14 on:** May 20, 2009, 04:02:32 pm »

You've got my full support for Zandvoort if we speak about the 1967 layout (I am dreaming about the film sequence of 'Grand Prix' now). Who will take Stoddarts part?

Old cars belong to old tracks

[SJ]Stein · « **Reply #15 on:** May 20, 2009, 05:43:38 pm »

I dont think the '67 version is the one that's currently laying near the beachline as we speak... i didn't say anything about any version of the Nordschleife now did i?

and if i'd mention Zandvoort.. you've noticed i wasn't using the " '67 " together with it, now did i?

I just love the current layout, makes for good racing, not a lover of the old one at all.

[SJ]Kristof Huyck · « **Reply #16 on:** May 20, 2009, 06:50:48 pm »

It should also be noted that Spa '67 just looks horrible graphics wise... And I also am not really a fan of the '67 layout of Zandvoort and Spa as well. In both cases the current layout is better imo.

How on earth is the slow, slippery new Zandvoort better than the old, fast and breathtaking version!
Love the old one! My favourite track in GPL.
(personal preferences i guess)

[SJ]arnospeed · « **Reply #18 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:08:33 pm »

Bueno, I just expressed my special favour for the '67 Zandvoort which does not mean that I in particular dislike the 'modern version'. I spoke about 'wishes', not 'claims'.

[SJ]Kristof Huyck · « **Reply #19 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:50:22 pm »

I think we all just expressed our opinion here about the layout of modern Zandvoort vs '67 one... The only 'claim' I made was about the poor graphics of the GTL/GTR2 '67 Zandvoort add-on track.

[SJ]CasparGTL · « **Reply #20 on:** May 20, 2009, 09:21:05 pm »

I like Zandvoort 67 a lot!
I like Spa 67 a lot!
I like ZandvoortGP a lot!
I like Spa a lot!
I like Zandvoort National a lot!
I like Zandvoort Club a lot!

Hehe Caspar, are there any track you don't like then

[SJ]CasparGTL · « **Reply #24 on:** May 21, 2009, 12:52:05 am »

Of course!
There's eh,...well there's, ehhh......wait.... ..........HEEEEELP!

No, there is no whole track that I don't like.

There's bits that I really loath though.

Like last 3 turns of Silverstone, sections of Valencia, chicanes at Monza, T3 and 4 at Nuerburgring, most of Oschersleben and several more.

And then there are tracks I LOVE and also single corners I really really like. But I go sleep now first, it's better, haha.
