Thanks for that Clive. To me the Pole should always be on the racing line, rather than on the inside/tight line. The start here is very hard, and often it results in wrecks. Same for another leaguerace here recently. I'd say because you went out of shape, you didn't realize Bob was on the inside, or you had lost control a bit. To me it wasn't Bob's fault at all, but that's just my opinion

I'm trying my best in every league/series to get in the mix, taking slower cars. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Beating Hristo's old Honda racerecord in a BRM is pretty good I can't put into words how much fun it is to still be improving with 67s at the rate I do. I tried to give my best performance last night, in remembrance of Joe.

Happy with my effort. Both sub1m30s laps in quali and race, not too shabby in the green whale

But sadly after the start there was a big crash and had to drive alone whole race, apart from lapping cars, who were great for me. Clive drove a very respectable time in quali, and thought I might have my hands full early race.

Well done Dean and Clive for podium!

Great to see Malcolm online, thanks all for racing!

Brabham BT11 = Eagle?

No worries, I take the BRM or Honda

It's great to have you attending the races Malcolm!

Fell asleep before the event started. Recently in an other league there were incidental screenfreezes at 36fps at this track, with 67s.

Cheers Clive

So the practise races will be run on Tuesday's, and the points scoring races on Sunday's?

I already have a cheeky strategy, I will let P2 take the lead everytime just before s/f! That way I still will win!  Wacky Races!



Personally I'm not a fan of fixed setups, and you can't enforce it with GPL. Setups are personal and depending on hardware (control device), linearity and driving style. Also the secret being fast with GPL does not lie in setups, but more in practising, analyzing, experience and skill. I also won races with fixed setups with NR2003 and/or iRacing. It's a matter of being able to adapt your driving (style) to the setup, you could still change brakebias and steering ratio.

In general I'm not a big fan of artificial handicapping, all I can do myself is restricting myself to the slowest cars. I'm trying to do my best to be in the mix in all leagues I compete, and still being able to fight for podium/win. That said, nothing wrong with a bit of experimenting, but in the end the fastest drivers will be at the sharp end of the grid anyhow.

My biggest wish would be other drivers improve at a faster rate than me, because I'm not done yet I'm afraid...I'm faster in my late 40s than in my early 30s. 

Thanks Clive, looking forward to it!

PS: on a sidenote had recently contact with Malcolm, I believe he has his GPL running at W10 now, would be fun if he can attend I'm sure you contacted him Clive

I did ask because in the announcement thread for the JSMT, you say first Adelaide  race is 67s, 2nd at Sempione 66s, and Leipzig with 65s.

This will be a practise race before the real 1st round at Sunday-night? Also is it 65s or 67s?

Tandil pitlane would be fun, actually there's no pitlane, just grass 

At Silverstone my 4 Sng's did cost 45s. On average 11.25s.

I should have taken T77/BT7, but I'm a bit tired taking those cars since I drove them mostly last few seasons. It's fun to do well in those cars, but you hardly can pass clean with them lacking top end. I prefer car handicaps above SnG handicap, but arguably a combination of both might be due to an experiment.

Prior to the race I didn't like it, artifical handicapping. However during the race I enjoyed it trying to get in the mix, but I should have done my first stop earlier, before the others. 65s is still my favo mod after original 67s! I'm old school (yes I'm into all mods, but for TC)

However it's fun in a way to choose to get in the mix taking another strategy. But everytime I got behind others, they pitted!   Decided to take another SnG to give Axel a chance to hold on.

In such a system, I need 5 SnGs  

PS: Gareth would have had a good chance

I have run Leipzig before online, mostly back in the day with the Honda, at 36fps. Fun track mate

Thanks for organizing Axel

Was looking forward to this, since UKGPL doesn't have a 65 competition anymore. My pole lap was with some tow. Hopefully 65s will return next season

Noticed my car was in pitlane after practise session stopped, but accidently escaped from the server, and it wouldn't let me back in...doh 

Hope you have a good one
