It appears that the long awaited GT mod for GPL is about to be released.
Do we want to run some GT races ON Wednesday nights? perhaps instead of the 69's which have not been attracting as many drivers as we had hoped?? Or we could do alternate weeks of 69 and GT after a 65 race. Or change everything if the demand is great enough.
Once again I am thinking about "fun" races only at this stage, maybe around the same circuit as the 65 races run.
Post your comments here.

I don't mind, though I read the mod is very heavy graphically, so I hope my PC can manage.

I am quite open to opinions for this.
The 65 races are sort of succesful, so i don't think we want to change that, but the 69's are not exactly full grids so maybe the new GT mod on a quiet Wednesday evening in winter will attract some more drivers??
Hopefully graphics will not be an issue, but have the mods managed to change the way that GPL runs??? I don't think they can have switched the graphics load to a graphics card and away from the CPU if they are still using the original Pappy code,...or can they???

GT's after sounds good. The mod has been tested on a range of systems so hopefully no one should have problems.

It is the graphics card that calculates all the polygon meshes and textures, regardless of CPU. From what I hear the GT cars have a high number of polygons to make them look good, but I guess I'll wait and give it a try when it's out.

I haven't taken part in many Breasts races because I have enough problems learning the tracks that I'm racing on. If they were the same as Nov's I would be very happy.
I really like teh 69 mod, and would love to do 69 and sports car on different races.

Well, the current plan ( if it can be called a plan!!  ) is to mirror the 65 season races , the problem being that the Ams and Novices are running different tracks, which is a dilemma. As regards the GT mod, it looks like alternateweeks for 69/GT has one vote. |

Well, Amateurs can't complain about learning tracks so much, they're much more experienced, so I say (again  ), run Novices tracks. Oh and I'm up for running GT instead of 69, but after watching that video of the mod, I'm not so convinced I like the handling... |

None-the-less, I'd like to request Hristo be limited to the Fiat500.  |

I thought that John posted up somewhere that the launch was planned for 1st Nov. Maybe I read that wrong? No worries we have waited about 3 years for this so another week makes no difference  |

Same thing really, the car moves sideways way too freely and easily. Even 66 mod cars (much lighter singleseaters) don't do it that much and there's some resistance when you turn in before they start drifting. See this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPQUj171Opk&feature=relatedEven though it's on probably on modern tires, I don't think the car would've been drifting as it does in the mod if it had 67 tires. It might be down to setup, but I think the tires or the car balance is not right in the mod. Just wait until an alien pushes it to the limit as it is and you'll see it's going to drift even more... |
