Nevermind, found out how long it took, 30-45min when I left (take a few until it started downloading so 20mins-ish) plus the second install which is usually 10mins, so 40mins at best. Not too bad for living in the middle of nowhere I guess. Starting to get some laps in at Laguna Seca, the 'vette is well suited to the track. I can see that this could be a tight race, the biggest winning gap I've seen in GT cars at Laguna in GT6 is about 1-2secs. Would be good to see @Cobra_GT500 & @keg11 have one last race so we can send them off in a reasonable fashion. Just my thought anyway.
So, @TDZdave is there still a chance we will be racing at Bathurst sometime this series since PD has 'apparently' fixed it?

we will be awaiting confirmation for the fix, I will test it myself and also be in contact with others over the fix to ensure it is, Bathurst was meant to be the previous round but we decided to remove it because of the bugs, it will most likely be round 12,
also, I have been speaking with @cobraGT500 about a potential GTC type class, would Keg_11 and @SteveEnforcer be interested in joining the one make tuning prohibited division with him?

The only problem I have with including Bathurst again as the last round would be if we get to it and the points are still as tight as they are, it would suck to have a bug or a DC cost someone the championship. I would prefer it to be round ten or sooner or even not at all. Don't get me wrong Bathurst is a nice track but to have a championship decided there in its current state is crazy.

agreed, i would leave it as round 12 as a fun race, no points etc,
Maybe we can all work something out as a fun kind-of gimmick race at Bathurst, something like a lengthy Enduro (3hrs?) with 24hr time (so starts in-game at say 10:00am and finishes at 10:00am the next day so we can experience the 24hr time cycle) and also include weather so it adds a gambling aspect to it, your thoughts everyone?

----------Australia GT Series Round 7 Red Bull Ring----------
-----------------------------------------Race Report------------------------------------------
Here we are today at Spielberg in Austria at the newly name an redesign Red Bull Ring for the 7th round of Australia GT Series an with two new drivers add to the line up (Nasanu & Ninth Wonder) and one of the old favourites was missing in action (It'zRacing)
So with qualifying done and dusted Greasy managers to take pole from Dave who was back in he's Audi by .035 and newcomer Nasanu who was also in a Audi only .020 behind Dave
As Greasy got brilliant start follow closely by Dave Keg manage to get up beside newcomer Wonder but couldn't make it stick coming out of Remus until Wonder got he's Z06 a bit sideways an with Keg no where to go he got into the side of Wonder pushing him out wide and on to the grass but with no damage taken Wonder got back on he's way and started fighting with Moto
Now with a damage front left tire from fighting with Moto into Rindt Wonder put it into the wall coming out of Castrol corner and damaging his Vette even more now and with dirt on his tires he spin it around coming into Remus and calling it quits for the day after only one lap as Greasy was slowly making a bit of distance to Dave
With Lion fighting it out with Keg for 5th as Soks just sat back and watching waiting to see who would trip up first the two exchange positions back and forth until Lion manage to do a successful crossover at Remus giving him the place over Keg in he's RX8 as Keg was trying to get his place back he got a back wheel on the curb that spun him around coming out of Rauch
As Dave was being harass by Nasanu for 2nd place Nasanu the job done at Remus and now was setting his sights on Greasy until Greasy got a little bit to much curb coming out of Schlossgold and spinning it around letting Nasanu Dave and Flash to get by him and putting him down to 4th
As their were fights up and down field as the two sliver cars were going at it the two white cars were going at it as well and the two black cars doing the same as Moto lost it coming out rauch sadly he park it up a call it a day
As Dave dive into the pit line on lap 15 Flash was trying to build a gap to Greasy and at times running it a bit wide as Greasy would later ask Flash for $50 to cover the car wash he now needs as Nasanu and Greasy both dive into pits just one lap later to Dave as Nasanu was trying to stop Dave from doing a undercut on him as Greasy was trying to do the same to get in front of Flash
As Soks was showing that he's new and improved Ford GT now has the pace to keep up with the likes of the AMG he got a bit to much curb coming out of Castrol corner and put in the wall damaging the front right tire and need to pit for repairs coming out just behind the RX8 of Keg's as Nasanu out brake himself coming into Rauch an letting Dave to get by him moving Dave up to 2nd for now until Flash dive into pits
As Dave was coming up to Keg who was a back marker now Keg didn't get out of the way in time an stayed on the racing line so as a result Dave want straight up the back of Keg spinning him out of control with rear tire damage
And now with Dave having two front tires damage from the incident made him now vulnerable to Nasanu and Greasy as he stay out for one more lap as Nasanu got by Dave at into Castrol corner both drivers want wide at Remus as Dave got a bit sideway coming out of the corner flicking the back of his Audi into Greasy's BMW resulting in Greasy taking damage to he's front left tire as Dave would later that lap dive into pits for repairs Greasy would do the same a lap later allowance Nasanu to run by himself now
As Greasy return back to the track just in front of Dave making for some good racing to come Lion came in for his only pit stop for the race making his tires lasting 30 laps but needing to take on 62 litres of go juice as Soks race was looking pretty quiet from here on out as his sat in 5th
As Dave and Greasy swap position for a lap or two Dave couldn't make it stick as Greasy was relentless on keeping the Audi behind him as Dave's Audi tires were going off falling back into the clutches of Lion and Flash he decided to dive into for the 3rd time to day
As Nasanu was leading the race with Greasy just 10sec behind him Nasanu ran into a little bit of traffic in the likes of a RX8 but dive into pits at the end of that lap but miss judging the pit line entrée resulting in a drive thru penalty and coming just out in front of the two Kiwis
As Nasanu got into the pits the right way this time Flash got too much curb coming out of Red Bull corner as he was right behind Lion as Greasy pitted from 1st place giving Lion the lead with only 14mins to run as Flash was doing all he can to try an catch back up to Lion's AMG
As Flash got back up to Lion Greasy was putting some Fast lap times down trying to catch back up to the two Kiwis as Flash got around Lion coming into Schlossgold Greasy got by Lion only a couple of laps later as he put the BMW on the inside at Rindt moving him up to 2nd now with only minutes to run
As Greasy was charging towards Flash in 1st place Flash was dancing on the edge coming out of Rauch letting Greasy to be right on the back of him coming into Red Bull corner as Greasy try to put it on the inside at Castrol but not making it stick so he try again at Remus with only 4mins left to run getting by Flash for the lead
As Greasy goes over the line in front of Flash by only 1.327sec making it the closest finish in the series so far and the BMW's 2nd 1 & 2 of the series as Lion comes in for 3rd just 13.674sec behind the BMW's
Congratulate to Greasy on a brilliant race and making it back to back wins
Well done to newcomer Nasanu for the fastest lap time of the day at a 1:25.597
Good work to all the drivers for fun and brilliant race
See you all on the 6/08 as we head off to Monterey in California
for round 8 of the Australian GT Series

Great review Greasy 
Laguna is going to be fun. I have a hunch the Audi might be very fast there, it loves to turn. But then that might bite me over the corkscrew where I know the Z4 will be very stable. The perfect car for this race will be the Ford GT imo. Either way I am going for the win, you BMW boys better bring it
Oh BTW what happened on my pit entry? Did I just clip the cone? The reset came as a surprise to me, I didn't realize I'd entered the pits wrong.

This is me thinking outside the box. Maybe if we did 3x 30minute (like what Itz said) races but we switched the pack or something? so whoever a losing or at the back of the pack at the end of the 1st race gets a chance to start on pole and it will give everyone a fair go. Probably not the best ideas but it may even out the field a bit.
Also what car are we using for the make make race?

Do NOT follow the Ford into the pits Still having trouble with it bogging down, and in fact it got stuck at the bottom of the pit lane for about 10 sec last night. Changing tranny and diff settings had no effect. On the bright side.... when she finally gets on track, she's running nice when I keep it on the tarry bit
