UKGTR Season 15 discussion

[Legzy]

You've just listed three of my least fav tracks, add in "Ostrich" & I'll start calling bingo

From Jim's list, Mosport can often be a let down for racing (though fun hotlapping), so maybe drop that... But Lime Rock would be a bit of a novelty & the other tracks are cracking

[H@L9000]

I am keen to include at least Spa in one of the series in season 15 (sorry Legz, I know you do not like that track) as I am under the impression that spa will be used in the next GT Web race. (It is also one of my personal favourite tracks. )

This is all just speculation at the moment to get some ideas so if anyone has something different in mind then do say.

I think ALMS tracks in some form or another is a good idea though even if I do not manage to sort the LMPs.

[spanner]

I would love to see the LMPs even if it is just one or two cars. clearly your not going to win over everybody with the tracks as i liked the selection H@L, a combined ALMS/ LMS series. We do have our own mini LMPs in the superGTs.

Did you look into using the GTweb cars?

GTR2 forever!

[Legzy]

GTR2 forever!

[Mark J]

Ignore Legzy..anyone into motor racing who doesnt like Spa is a freak !!     

Of the euro tracks you mention, only estoril doesnt float my boat but still had some good races on it over the years. A combo of ALMS and LMS sounds fab, though surprised you feel ALMS tracks alone wont be popular ?

However if we still plan to use ye olde GTR2's GT2's im afraid you can probably count me out. I think its been proved that its dead in the water here by the low attendances last couple of times out, and no reason to see it suddenly filling out. It just doesnt do it for me anymore unless we had good grids  :'( 
Wont that old car set qualify for GTL racing soon? 

[H@L9000]

GT Web have now given us permission to use their physics from their Bahrain mod.

I still have to obtain permission for the Lola LMP1 and Lola LMP2 car physics separately and I still need to get permission for one or two more 3D models but, so far we have 2 LMP2 cars that we can use for definite and hopefully a few more soon.

[Legzy]

Nice work H@L
Hopefully you'll be rewarded with a fresh spurt of interest in our league from elsewhere.

[Truetom]

Like he said.

[spanner]

The way i read it is their allow the use of the cars as they stand, no seperation into 3d models, physics, skins etc H@L. Just stick em into an installer and away we go!

[H@L9000]

We still need permission from all the authors of the work that we will be using as per the UKGTR rules and that is how it should be.

The GT Web mod has all the skins of all the teams from the 24Hr which we do not need to have our drivers download and the Lola physics and or 3D model (need to check this) is exclusive to GT Web and has not been released publicly or to many people at all except for GT Web users. GT Web asked me to get permission separately.

Dont worry, I know what I am doing.

[Legzy]

Never in doubt

Lol. What i meant was they all came with a standard skin before any of us got to ruin them, think they were the livery of the real one being raced.

Oh, I see. Sorry mate.

Good point, the 2 LMP2 cars that we can definitely use are the Porsche RS Spider 2008 and the Radical SR9, so anyone know of any good skins for those models? Preferably ones based on real life. I can start looking into permission and try to get at least 1 skin for each. I will also organise some standard UKGTR skins for each car for backup in case I have permission issues.

[goldtop]

Nice work H@L. From my brief testing the Spyder and Radical were the pick of the bunch from the LMP2 cars IIRC. I'd definitely be up some some of that 

[H@L9000]

It looks like we may have to use just those Two cars. I simply can not get in contact with the other authors of the 3D models.

I will start looking into skins for these Two cars.
