New Drivers

[Phoenix_Z80]

Cheers for the welcome guys. I have a few noob questions I hope you can clear up for me. I'm sure some of them I could find the answers to by searching around but if any of you have quick answers to any of these then I'd appreciate it.

• How come there is a different 60fps mod for the specials then there is for the other mods?
• Is there a way I can show just the GPL races in the shared ICAL calendar link?
• Is there a recommended location for mods I need to install? (as in, where to locate them)
• Is there a way I can check to see what mod and version of a mod I have installed?
• What kind of checks are performed to make sure everyone uses the same mod?
• When looking at a league table what do FT and R1 tags represent?

Going to start out in the Ams and F2 races first just to get myself used to the format that you guys use.

We use to race at IGOR where you can clearly identify the mods.
You can not acces a server with a wrong mod there.

   How come there is a different 60fps mod for the specials then there is for the other mods?

All mods use 60fpsV2newmod patch exept the 67GT and 69Xtra wich use 60fpsV1.

This has to do with the base mod used by the mod teams wich are more develloped today.

When looking at a league table what do FT and R1 tags represent?

FT = fulltime = more than 75% at the registation poll
R1 = first reserve = less than 75% at the registation poll

Hello, another coming back GPL driver here, from Poland. Last time I've raced GPL was around early 2000's and this time I would like to enjoy 1965 season. So far I've been running Honda RA-272 (love that six gear transmission and high reving engine).

My wheel is Logitech Formula (yes, the old all yellow rubber one), but still have two Formula Force (again the old all red rubber) and Jens Schumacher ball bearing mod, still sealed in a bag     
Best regards, Czary.

Welcome back Czary.    
I hope you enjoy the fun and the racing as much as you did before.

I'm not sure how quick you are in the 65's, so perhaps you can start in the Amateurs division to find your level?

Can you vote/register on this page:-

http://www.brandshatch.co.uk/calendar/2017/july/hscc-01-02-july.aspx

Also please take a look at the rules etc which have probably changed a little since the early2000's.


EDIT   OOPS!
Sorry Czary I was doing some other research when I came  across your post.  Thanks Tim for spotting the slight error

Lol - pretty sure Clive actually means this page

Welcome back Czary, hope you enjoy the racing

Thank you for the link- I've registered for the 1965 Amateurs.
Is there any chance to know your laptimes on Road Atlanta in 1965 cars ?

...Is there any chance to know your laptimes on Road Atlanta in 1965 cars ?...

Welcome! The next round for the 65 cars is a new version of Road America, not Road Atlanta. Get it here: http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=11724

As it's a brand new track, there are no laptimes available yet. WR on the old, ugly, buggy one is a 2:17.3 (I'd expect the faster Ams to be in the 2:25-ish range on it), but no idea how that would relate to the new version.

added: just ran a few laps, best was a rather sloppy 2:27 (some time still to make up, couple of tricky braking zones), so looks like it's a few seconds slower than the old version

I just did some laps and would say a laptime of ~ 2:24 - 2:26 should be possible. A tow will make ~ -2sec!

Here is a alien laptime http://freeleo.hu/weekly/?page=Race%20info&race=201704040

My Albi setup worked fine here.

Welcome Czary, hopefully all goes well for Road America. Feel free to ask if you have any questions or problems joining. I will not know the answer, but maybe someone else will.  I am glad that you asked about the laptimes because I did not know what to expect.

Good luck,
Walter

Thank you all for the warm welcome. The only thing I'm not sure about is do I have to modify anything in IGOR/WinVROC settings to join UKGPL server ? Another thing is- as I enter this post : https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=14348.0 I see "You are not licensed to enter this series"

The registration has to be verified manually -> done

You must not change anything in IGOR to join the UKGPL server.

Just make shure You use the new iGOR IP  blw.net  in the igor.ini

Code:

[ RaceListServers ]
IP                        = blw.net

PS

Test it at the UKGPL practice server at iGOR running this afternoon!
