Oh god that sucks, and must have been incredibly unlucky. So the safety car came out in the period that they were between pit entrance and exit, which must only be about 15 seconds or so? Feel sorry for them, really wanted them to do well after leading it for so long, and just being up at the sharp end in the first place!

Cheers for explaining.

Does anyone know what happened to Ritter/Besnard at Bathurst on the weekend? They were in with a chance of winning until around lap 140 and the safety car where they dropped to 13th. I've watched the coverage about 3 times now but have managed to miss this point every time.

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

yeah Priaulx finished 12th. When the track was wet, Priaulx was so much faster than the 888 car.

To be fair, a lot of the cars were faster than the 888 car, that and the Skaife/Murphy car didn't like the wet at all. Was nice to see Priaulx hustling some big names though.

Nooo! I liked AS ClubR a lot in the TBOs.

Great server by the way guys, can always be sure to have some great racing.

Well bugger me. I've been out all day, haven't touched the PC or wheel, got home, thought what the heck I'll try starting the profiler and it worked! Recognised the DF GT, all the control panel setting worked (except I can't figure out where the calibrate button is, although it seems calibrated pretty well anyway)

Thanks for everyone help!

The only thing is that the steering feels very light within the first 40 degrees or so (20 each side of centre) and past this point it gets heavier. Tried adjusting a few things but it seems to stay there. Any ideas?

Ripley, got a link to somewhere I can download 5.04?

Yep.

Hmm, we've tried about 10 times now and each time we get the same result.

I had a chance to try it on another computer, downloading and installing the 5.08 profiler and the installation working completely fine, but that's useless as that computer is completely rubbish and couldn't run Minesweeper, let alone LFS.

We downloaded a new version of the nVidia virtual bus enumerator and that wasn't always working in System Devices and a bit of research showed some people had problems with this, but it made no difference.

Bloody annoyed now, just want to use the thing.

I even spoke to the Logitech support people, they emailed me details of the "Solution" which involved downloading it in safe mode (didn't work), 'updating the drivers of the computer' (eh?) and installing it on another PC (really helpful)

Quote from ru7 [SLO] :

Well the 5.08 did the same thing to me on G25. So i just intaled it a few times then it just worked. Wierd.

So the profiler crashed / slowed right down on install when it got to the "Detecting" stage? If so, did you literally just un-install / re-install it until it worked?

Just got my new DFGT today and set about getting it ready to go.

First thing I did was download the new 5.08 drivers off the website. The first part of the installation went fine, but when it came to the "Detecting" part the install bar just froze, the whole PC went really slow (CPU useage was at 100%) and it stayed that way even after leaving it for 25 mins. The only thing to do was to turn the PC off and on. I did this and then uninstalled the profiler as it was obviously not a proper installation.

I then got the slightly older version, 5.02, off the Wingman Team website and tried installing that but the exact same thing happened, everything froze up half-way through the detection stage, so had to turn it off/on again.

I tried opening the profiler anyway just to see what would happen, it loaded but then said the profiler could not recognise any controllers.

I tried again with 5.08, same thing again, and that also said a controller couldn't be detected.

I did try it in LFS without the profiler, it worked, as did all the buttons, but adjusting forces / effects wasn't working properly. If I went to Control Panel > Gaming Controllers, it would recognise the DF GT, but there was no calibrate option and if I changed some of the force settings they'd just go back to Default after closing the box.

Help? Anyone? Getting a bit annoying now..

Thanks.

Colin giving Vicki rides in an old 911 rally car and a Subaru WRC car. Double Scandinavian flick at 2:13! Brilliant.

Epic! I'll stock up on the Doritos!

This weekend? Anyone know if Motors TV are showing it live?

Chevy Lacetti and, er, Plato?

Brilliant, just brilliant. So pleased for Turkington.

Coverage is starting right now on ITV4 of Brands Hatch for those who want to see it.

Really interesting onboard with Senna driving a NSX At Suzuka with feet-cam:

Yeh Thomo put in two stirling drives for Lada at Imola, getting them their first ever WTCC points, in both races!

Anyone know of anywhere online I can see the races? ITVPlayer are still showing the Rockingham Highlights...

Quote from samjh :

(Ex-Grp.B driver, Pentti Airikkala -- who passed away last week with cancer, RIP --

Didn't realise that, that's very sad news. I spent a day at his left foot braking Rally School a few years back, he was such a great guy, very funny, and despite having a bus pass, he could still drive like the wind. Brilliant rally driver.

RIP.

I'd managed to avoid finding out who won until just now when I got an email from facebook saying "The group you're a member of, Colin Turkington Touring Car Star has just changed its name to Colin Turkington Touring Car Champion"

So pleased for him, sounds like they were some interesting races so I'll wait for it to appear on ITVPlayer.

I've just ordered one of these, after going through 3 Logitech FFEX in as many years I thought it was about time I upgraded and the reviews for the DF GT seemed very good, so I went for it.

Should be able to say on Thursday what I think of it.

Yeh I like Gio too, there's no doubt he's one of the best drivers to have ever graced the BTCC, but in this instance I prefer Turkington.

I have to leave my house at 11, just when coverage starts
