Season 40 – 1955 Grand Prix – Round 10 – Privateers - Hockenheim
This race announcement is for the PRIVATEERS.
The tenth and final race in the 1955 Grand Prix series takes us to Hockenheim in Germany. In 1965, when the new Autobahn A 6 separated the village from the main part of the track, an updated version of Hockenheim circuit was built, which incorporated a new "Motodrom" stadium section. Two fast chicanes were added after Jim Clark was killed on 7 April 1968 in a Formula 2 racing accident. A small memorial was placed at the site of his accident near the first chicane. In order to improve safety even further, the track was lined with crash barriers in 1970. But the track was still dangerous and claimed the life of Patrick Depailler in 1980. So in 1982, the first chicane was made slower and a third chicane was added at the Ostkurve (east curve). In the early 2000s, Formula 1 officials demanded the 6.823 km (4.240 mi) track be shortened and threatened to discontinue racing there. So the state government of Baden-Württemberg secured the financing for a redesign by Hermann Tilke ready for the 2002 German Grand Prix. The new "Tilke Track" was not universally popular and many drivers preferred the long circuit. Sadly the old circuit was torn up and replanted with trees thereby preventing any chance of reinstating the long circuit for Formula 1 or indeed using it for historic car races.
Tonight we will be using the 1967 version of the long track that doesn't have the three chicanes.

How can I get to use GPL setup manager from GEM ? I have V 2.7.0 installed in GPL Secrets file but I can't get the EDIT button to work , have tried " configure " but this asks for path to GRE (GPL race engineer ) which is in my Win86 file The EDIT button in GEM does not work for any of the mods What am I doing wrong here Thanks

I have the same as Cookie, but my setup manger doesnt work from Gem+ either.
i seem to remember the problem was with an .ini file or spaces or incorrect spelling in some text somewhere, but I have searched and asked before But Im still unable to fix it.
would love to get it working again. it hasnt worked since I made my new, current GPL PC

My advice is to delete/rename the gem.ini and let GEM make a new one. You find the gem.ini in c:/users/Public/Documents/

Thanks Axel . I tried that but GEM comes back up just the same How do you get the "Find Path To GPLSM" BOX to show ? BTW When GEM searches for GPL installs , it can find 2 x C:\ GPL\ GPL.exe Is this OK ?

That's the button "Path to GRE" When you delete the gem.ini you must do it as admin 2x GPL.exe is not possible at the same place - but in windoze....

Yes Admin , It must be deleted ( Name changed to "OLDGEM " )
I can see GEM has re built because I get the start up box asking for language choice etc.

I have played around and can now get the button to work but it throws me to the GPL race page not GPLRM , presumably I have it pointed to the wrong exe . Is the one with a spanner motive the correct one ?

Seems you took the gpl.exe instead of the GPL Setup Manager.exe

Congrats Dulima on the win & the championship.
Unlucky Bernie, that looked as though you were both having a ding-dong for a while - but guess Dulima popped in that 2:12 at an inconvenient time.
My race was ok, apart from I ran out of fuel whilst in front! I'd configured my race setup with enough, but didn't look as though that was actually picked up when I got to the grid. Did trundle into the pits to attempt refuel. Unfortunately, I forgot about the brake fade, overshot the pit & then car was totally empty/unable to rev.
When I stopped, my race setup looked correct but was not the current selected setup. I normally run some laps at the end of the session with race fuel, but did not on this occasion.
Still, it's not as though I was fighting for any decent position in the championship.
Thanks all, series was entertaining at times.
Cheers, Dave.

Is this possible in GPL?
