Season 22 - Porsche Super CupRace 10, Monza 10KFinal race of the season - Monza - not the Papyrus original but the Full 10K version which is the 67 track plus a heavily banked & slightly bumpy oval - to be taken flat out. The oval was closed to F1 on account of it being too dangerous but GPL is kinder than real life although as we are using Pro settings, trying to take a shortcut by launching off the banking will probably not result in a happy outcome. The 10K track was used for the finale of the 1966 film Grand Prix which is well worth a look if you haven't seen it. The originally chosen 1000K track cannot be imported as an official race - hence the track change. The final track will be announced tonight but there is a practice server for the 1000K version and if you can drive that, you can drive the 10K version. *** NOTE WE WILL BE RACING THE Monza 10K VERSION (WITHOUT CHICANES) ***Due to declining numbers, we will run this race on ONE SERVER only. Please check the Season 22 pages for details regarding rules and the Porsche Super Cup pages in particular. The Server password is at the top of the page.Team 7 1. Fulvio Policardi 2. S-2173 3.

Hi Paul, Are we using the Full 10K track as described in this post, or the 1000k track as described on the registration page? The difference being that the 1000k track has 2 chicanes I wouldn't like to take them flat out

Sorry Pedro, but i did not participate at last act of the farce called PSC. At 24 hours from race there was no official communication on the forum, and when it appears here is a circuit different from that indicated in registration thread (Monza 10K and Monza 1000km are not the same thing). Also, i still do not know reason of the two crash reports received for the race at Salzburgring (my request for clarification was not followed), and i have no intention of running sub judice, without having been able to figure out what i did wrong in that race. This should (and could) be best championship of the season, but it seems that in UKGPL team competitions are considered an option, not a resource in which to invest. My first season in this community end here, with few lights and many shadows; in future, now that i have understood how things work, i will make other choices. It 's been a pleasure to run as your teammate, Pedro, and i think we can see on track in short time (in some fun races or in other communities).

At the last count Alex there were 28 incident reports concerning the Salzburgring race which is way higher than usual, in fact it's the most I can recall seeing. As a result it will take the moderator a long time to go through them all and produce the final report.
As a rule we try to publish the report before the following race but in this case it's just not going to be possible. I realise this is frustrating for you but please remember that moderators volunteer their spare time to help out at UKGPL. We all have jobs and families to take care of too.

Sorry to read that Alex! But I can understand your position in some aspects.... For the next season the PSC will be reorganized! In the registration thread it is announced " Monza 1000k" and I have set my training server to it

Ross, please dont use arguments like this to reply at critics, it’s too easy: i know that there is passion behind moderator’s work, and i appreciate this like any other, but all of us play GPL because we have fun to do this, and all of us have a real life. I think that best practice is to manage a minor number of championships, if this can ensure better quality. Eventually, try to demand yourself because there was too many crash reports and because half of players have abandoned this league during season: in my intention, these are only observations and constructive critics, nothing else.

I agree with you to some extent Alex, it's best not to run a series if we can't do it properly. The Porsche series is arguably the hardest to run because it has been so popular we have had to run two grids until recently. That has made it the most work for the moderators of all the series. I was just pointing out that the Salzburgring event was an exceptional case due to the high volume of incident reports. We appreciate your feedback as it can help us to improve the Porsche Super Cup next season. We still believe there are enough drivers to run it, albeit as one grid rather than two. Please let us know what changes you would make to improve it as we are always open to ideas.

Sorry for the confusion guys - I didn't look at the registration thread and the race was set up in the system as Monza 10K - this is because Monza 1000km is not listed so we can't import the race results.
We can run either but if we run Monza 1000km we would not be able to import the result until Dave has set the track up. I am surprised by that but we should have noticed this earlier.
The late post is down to me getting confused about dates - I only realised it was due last night and I did stay up late to post it... In truth I have a bit too much on my plate at the moment so some things are slipping like the replay website although the replays themselves have always been there on time. Anyway, unreserved apologies.
Hopefully we can get it right next season. We would really like the teams to be the central focus and I have certainly enjoyed supporting the Godzilla team (not that I have actually seen you or Mark on track or contributed much!)

Team Godzilla no longer exist, i have finally fired my brother (with great satisfaction !) and, by inertia, i have fired myself ! Next season will be another affair for us, i think in separate way.

50/50 chance of me racing tonight.... Not a fan of the GT mod or the banked monza circuits - the FPS drop is quite severe
