Problem with both GTR demos?

Hi all,

I DL'd the GTR press demo, it installed fine, but the car starts
sputtering after 2nd gear and the speed bar blinks like there's
something wrong with the engine. I tried fiddling with the settings
with no luck.

Then I DL'd the newest demo (approx. 200 mb) from two different
websites (one a zip file, the other exe). When I tried to install
either one I get "Setup file is corrupted."  Anyone else have this
problem?

Sounds like the pit lane limiter is on. Check out the controls under
options, ideally map it to a button on your wheel.

Rumour had it the file on http://www.sanchodezign.de/gtr/demo/GTR_DEMO.exe
was corrupt. Try here:

Hope this helps

The first one I d/l'd was corrupt (Uwe, sup wit dat?) then I went to
Boomtown and that one worked.  Any of the major d/l sites and you shouldnt
have any problems.

You have to turn off the pit road speed limiter.  Try pressing the "L" key
if I remember correctly.

I tried just about every key and couldn't get that damn pit limiter
light to go out. >:|

I'm going to try downloading the official demo from the site Tony
suggested.

There's probably no need to do something that drastic -- sometimes GTR
will bind the pit limiter to something goofy without telling you. Try
going into the options and resetting the binding to something sensible,
like "l", or a wheel button.

I looked and looked in the options and could find no pit limiter.

  It's in the CONTROLS.  You probably picked a specific wheel and the key
got shuffled off to some wheel button.  Look through the joystick settings.
The gas/brake/steering...it's in there.

You need to scroll down.

Yeah, it's not obvious.  Even after reading various posts/solutions on
this problem I still couldn't find it.  Some menus allow you to scroll
through them and some don't and the ability to scroll through them isn't
obvious.  I haven't played GTR for some time and so can't advise you as
to what specifics to look for when scrolling, but they are there.

I tried scrolling down 4 or 5 times on every menu.

  ok, step 1
load the demo
step 2
at the bottom press the controller button
step 3
clik on one of 4 options in the middle of the screen, those four options
are Driving / Accesories / Game / Extra
   The option you want is DRIVING.  They don't look like buttons just text.
then listed from the top are:
Acellerate
Brake
SteerLeft
SteerRight
ShiftUp
ShiftDown
Neutral
Clutch
PitLaneSpeedLimiter  <<<======Here it is. no scrolling needed on my 1024rez

Apparently, the version I have doesn't have pit limiter. See screen shot:

Weve only had two versions.  The first was the Press demo and its Pit
Limiter button was under accessories section and required you scroll down
(which I believe you have).  The actual demo that was released a couple
weeks ago the Pit Limiter is on the driving page and you can see it without
scrolling.
