( good chance to test my setuped server ) Another server we could use for UKGPL races would be great news I'd reccomend using the server version (2meg v 20meg) and also Clive L's loose grid; http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1BM6ADCU - the one on their website starts you on the grass...

My guess (and this is a complete guess), is 125 seconds a lap in 69s. Think 75 minute race.

GPLRank has the WR in 69s as 2m15. So 135 seconds a lap. Or 81 minutes. If I'm honest, I think laps will be more around 2m20, which is around 84/85 minutes.

Having organised this race, could you also tell us exactly where on the dark side of Alpha Centuri we can find a setup?

Peter,
Put the wings up to a high level, about 2 -3 drgrees more on the back then the front, and that passifies most of the chassis. You actually don't lose that much on the straights. Also pick the Brabham or the McLaren, which are easier to drive.

Ahh, I just noticed it's a 69 race, was thinking 65 and 36 laps sounded enourmous for those. Thanks. Setup wise, I thought running low wings would be better, but apparently Mike suggests otherwise, so I dunno anymore... I suppose you DO need less wings on a slower cars to compensate on the straights.

A small professional tip............don't drink Red Bull before a 69 race because extra wings will screw your setup Just trying to be helpful....
