Team Ultimatecarpage.com Race 6: Imola

[Roy Visser]

Tonight, the sixth race for the ZAC2 competition will be held at the lovely circuit of Imola. This track has only been in the FIA:GT championship since 2004 (in which the Maserati MC12 debuted), so everybody's experience on the track is relatively new. Due to this, team ucp.com has the same experience on the track as the other teams since imola wasnt included in the ZAC1 championship. This means that the field will be alot closer then normall and hopefully we can climb in the competition by scoring a double podium!

yeah, new tamburello has become very difficult chicane!

I need to register online and watch some of these races some day.

It is possible for me to spectate without racing? I'd just like to see some of the lines taken and not to mention see a FIA GT race with actual humans controlling the cars.

well you cant spectate in our races, we already have 32 cars on the track, and we dont want to stress the server more

just sign up online, and join some online races (be sure you use version 1.5 of GTR!)

[F1_Master]

I have it.

I wouldn't mind going online for some racing, but I'd also like to just spectate a small server and get some hints.

Ah well, there's always GTR 2 to hope for that option.

well you can spectacte on any other server, just start the race, press escape, and you can use the monitor option in the garage

[jorismo]

Good luck on the race. It's one of the coolest tracks around and let's hope you can score some good points!

True.

I'll just have to watch out for people demanding I race though this is a sim and I wouldn't expect the same type of people who play Forza Online (the little annoying brats) on GTR.

I'll register later today and check out a few.

F1, we will probably have a practice session today. You can join in and watch, or partcipate!!
