GTL for beginners

[Dewey]

As Doorman says, after months of saying I'll get on the server finally got on last night  - and I'm glad I did - what a laugh, i'll definitely be back chaps  

First race was funny - my pc has an earthing problem I need to get sorted - so it buzzes when using voip - so I didn't pee anyone off I use push-to-talk. However I inadvertently assigned the the push to talk key to the same one as the rev limiter!! Doh! I wandered what was going on... everytime I chatted my car would drop a few gears and slow down  :roflmao:

Anyway I came back for the another race about 9.45 and what a cracker - there was about 6 of us of then - got 2nd on the grid - got a good start into 1st place - first corner forgetting I had cold tyres, slid into the kitty litter  :lmfao:  The guy in the Fiat raced superbly and won - however I did have great battles with Snooks and then Doorman - sorry if I made contact with you guys - I wasn't trying to knock you off honest!  

Great racing guys - see you on there real soon!

erm.....rev limiter?

All these new fangled combination buttons.

Acc, brake, left right.....that's it for me. Should I try harder, or does that all come with the wheel I get home tonight. (bloody inlaws here tonight, but I'm working at midnight, so hopefully I'll get a few laps between 1030 and midnight.....)

Rev limiter to keep the allowed speed in pit. Go too fast in the pit and you get a stop/go penalty. That means you have to enter pit, stop, and leave pit again - but remember to enable the limiter on your way out, otherwise you have to do it again
