Bon je dis pas bravo à Frank non plus, peu convaincant dans son imitation de Stefan Mucke   

  La vérité je voulais juste faire un pti door check   mais j'ai braqué trop tôt   La faute au manque d'entraînement dans ce domaine I guess . C'était pas beau quand même et j'ai bien honte d'être tombé si bas...

I couldn't explain what was wrong with my car for most of the race until I watched the replay and noticed my brake lights permanently on. A quick check to the control pannel reveals that my brake was off calibration, so I spent most of the race with some 5% brake on and a car that was evil to drive   

Damn mate I saw that running behind you in qualifying I think and wanted to tell you, but forgot about it at the end of the session   Sorry

Most of the Cortinas (but not all of them) had no functionning lights at all, either brake lights or headlights, that was really annoying at times. Anybody knows what could cause this ? Track or mod ?

je m'en excuse de ne pas t'avoir attendu franchement désolé ...

Va, je ne te hais point   Mais comme le dit Antoine il faut vraiment faire attention à ce que ce genre d'incident ne se reproduise plus Samy. Déjà en NZTCC l'an dernier tu nous as gratifié de quelques actions relativement scandaleuses. Etant donné la nature des courses NZTCC on a laissé pisser, mais notre indulgence a des limites

There's no denying there was some crazy driving on track yesterday   Let's hope that things calm down a bit before the admins have to -->

Thxs Frank no worry   I arrived home later than expected and joined the qualy in a hurry with 20 ninutes to end, was absolutely puzzled as I found the car undriveable and more than one second slower than offline, but had no time for doing checks.

What makes me sad is just that I could have ruined someone's race without having a clue at what was going on   

Oh well another thing to add to the check list before racing

I'd say mod, as I noticed this at Oulton Park, I had plenty of time behind Antoine to find this out.

Seeing the post race reports, I'm glad I'm skipping this championship, the driving got no better it seems...

Me and Ben's Alfas are missing the headlights too. I think cars from Trans-Am series are broken?

Ah yes well spotted Jukka   I'll see what we'll do about it, either a fix (but I rather not bother the drivers with another thing to download) or most likely we'll allow duplicate entries to let those having a GTA with no lights working use one with lights working even if it's already booked.

je demande un controle anti dopage concernant la vitesse de pointe de la cortina d Antoine       

Bon je viens de regarder la fin du replay, Cortina : 197km/h, BMW : 195Km/h, excuse non recevable, rendez-vous à Goodwood  

PS : JP déconne pas reviens c'est le top ce champ, une course sans toi et tu me manques déjà  

Oui reviens, JP reviens

@ Frank and Martin

im packing my new BTCC Update tracks right now in a small trackpack and send them to you both
so you can use them for the future here at hso

tracks contains
Goodwood
Brandshatch ( new )
Snetterton ( new )  
Oulton Park ( new )

i might do chrystal palace  and Silverstone if i have time

  

Déja que je ne peux plus supporter ce mod, mais si en plus c'est pour avoir la course ruinée par le "pilotage" aléatoire de certains, autant m'occuper à autre chose  

I don't think any of the Trans am cars have headlights, I know my javelin doesn't. Maybe Mike/Carl or Tiago/Alberto can say if there trans am cars have lights. If no then maybe they have been left out on purpose.
  

Hmm your SCCA Javelin Richard   It's not the same patch as the BSCC so I guess it's due to the mod then. But then I think we had Transam cars starting in the Road Atlanta enduro which finished at night, right ? However, I wonder if this has been corrected in 1.96 ?

  Tiens ça me fait penser qu'avec le mod 1937 Grand Prix on peut enfin faire un Grand Prix de Nice   Enfin si quelqu'un avait fait le circuit   

The mustang i drive have blue lightcaps and wont let shine the lights
so only can do is honk the horn    but could be annoying for some

Yes the SCCA one, Did the transam cars have lights in real times of covers over them? And the only SCCA car was the Capri and maybe a BMW, but as you know those cars are European cars not actual SCCA cars unlike the Javelin/Firbird/Alfa Trans am etc.

 C'est bête qu'il n'y ait pas de modder qui vienne du sud-est de la France    
Ca aurait été sympa, mais vla la galère pour faire tous les bâtiments, surtout ceux d'époque qui n'existent plus.

Autour du circuit de 1935 je pense que 80% des bâtiments sont toujours les mêmes aujourd'hui . Hop hop, 2 coups de cuiller à google earth, tu colles le tout dans le notepad et on est parés, bouge pas j'appelle Estro

Ca marche ! (à part qu'il n'y a quasiment aucun batiment dans Google Earth, par contre y'a le bâteau pour se casser viteuf de Nice  )

Et je peux te dire que j'ai gagné plusieurs fois le Grand Prix de Nice... dans Driver 3, en Renault 5  

Haha pinaise moi aussi, sur deux ou quatre roues Ben voilà... conversion   

J'ai déja essayé  

 respect   

I just ran a quick test with the original HGT 1.95 mod and indeed most Transam cars (Under/Over 2 litres) miss the headlights. No idea if this was done on purposes since the series ran only at day, or if it is a bug but it is confirmed now. I hope that you admins take this into account for the finishing hours of enduros, as otherwise some people will be racing without lights at dusk or night, as happened to me at Road Atlanta last time. And it's really scary   

There was a lot of night racing in the early Trans-Am seasons Anyway I very much doubt the HGT modders did that on purpose, I would definitely vote for yet another cock up on their part  .

You mention the Enduros but it's worst than that, as we have races such as the first Daytona one which are run at night from start to finish   We have to think it over and see what we'll do...
