At the end of the race I was still learning the track, I think it was less difficult to learn The Ring, but it was 20 years ago... Anyway I'm surprised to still lead the standing! Even if I'll have to discard some points in the end. No practice for this race cause I was skiing on Saturday and too much tired after that to fire-up GPL. I didn't even think about change car to spare some dollars cause I don't know other cars but the Merc. This strategy won't help at Indy I think... So survive was the matter and luckily I spun only once on first lap and for all the race I had to try a compromise to stay on track and to defend from Tagomago's Gordini that I had easily passed at start, but luckily he had some lawn moving here an there Next one

Did some practice here so had a reasonable idea where I was going,at least that was what I thought!as Phil says a difficult track so grats to all finishers My race was uneventful until Clive passed me on lap 4 I think and then I found some new pace and the car was starting to feel better so I managed to hang on to his slipstream which was working out well as we were catching Francesco then on lap 6 I had a really clumsy clash with a hedge which seemed to suck me in then clamp me !!so I couldn't move which was a shame cos although I probably wouldn't of been able to challenge Clive I think me and Frencesco could of had a good couple of laps towards the end if the hedge thing didn't happen.Hey ho roll on the next one really enjoying the 55 season Thanks all

I've loaded the chassis the drivers used into the token calculator spreadsheet. For the next race the available tokens will be as declared in the table below (the table will also appear in the next race announcement). The calculated values are automated but selecting the cars is a manual process so please check your tokens to make sure I haven't made a silly error. There was no token overspend for this round so no one is disqualified. Driver | Tokens | Status | Alessandro Isacchini | 13 | Pro | bagrupp | 10 | Pro | Clive Loynes | 28 | Pro | Cookie | 22 | Pro | DLogan | 5 | Pro | EvilClive | 33 | Pro | fpolicardi | 0 | Pro | Gareth | 5 | Pro | Jeep | 0 | Pro | uli | 8 | Pro | francesco | 20 | Am | Phil Thornton | 30 | Am | Rich Welsh | 18 | Am | tagomago | 70 | Am |

With a couple of very fast tracks coming up, you will need them. It will be interesting to see who has spent wisely

If you want finish first you have to finish first.

Congrats Clives and all finishers, Clive told what happend very well. I didn't find the flow over more than one lap, so I was very carefull, anyhow a spun again but finished. :)that was what I want the most I'm happy. Fine track, really great for the55 mod. Great race speed Clive Hope to find time for the next race.

Happy with qually. Lap 1 was fun. Crashed lap 2. Just pushed too hard. I need to learn to stay cool and drive within my limits. Same lesson I've been trying to learn for years. Tough track but I enjoyed it.
Hard luck Phil. You had some useful pace there.

I've installed Bandicam so that I can take screen shots from OpenGL. Then I started to experiment with the video side of things. With any luck this is one of my practice laps at Dundrod: Dundrod GordiniLOL Cookie anticipated my question.

Hmmm................ It finds it like this: http://www.planet-venom.co.uk/gpl/GPL55/GPL55%20Dundrod%20Gordini.avi But doesn't play? Ah! Perhaps it does but it sets about downloading 2.6GB before it starts. EDIT: the avi file has been removed and replaced with the much smaller mp4 file.

Yes, a DL starts... Not playing
PS Get "Handbrake" to convert the big .avi to a much smaller video with .mp4

OK, so can you engage "talking to idiot" mode and explain to me how to get something that just plays? Perhaps not here but on, say, facebook?
