Title: UKGPL S24 Fun Race GT + CA - Watkins Glen - Jan 11 Post by: Cookie on January 07, 2013, 12:11:14 AM +0000 The first fun race of Season 24 we start at Watkins Glen.
The new format of the Heavy Iron series for the GT's and Can Am's gets a prelude - a double header fun race. We will use an extra wide grid and do a standing start! The last 4 - 5 drivers will not see the starting flag! We will run Intermediate Damage with the allowance of ONE shift-R reset. A Shift-R (fault or not) MUST be followed by a Stop & Go. Race 1 GT's
Race 2 CanAm's
GLA and have FUN Title: Re: UKGPL S24 Fun Race GT + CA - Watkins Glen - Jan 11 Post by: BadBlood on January 10, 2013, 02:20:33 PM +0000 Can't make this, sadly, as I will be on the M3 to Winchester... driving that won't be nearly so much fun :(

Title: Re: UKGPL S24 Fun Race GT + CA - Watkins Glen - Jan 11 Post by: Cookie on January 11, 2013, 11:10:06 PM +0000 Great fun racing,
but a bit lonely at the front when Clive did not pass the "Moose test (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aIcvFJM4DU)" :P As I read in the chat, pribluda does not work for everybody!? I have uploaded (http://www.sendspace.com/file/prs9ue) my version (+ my ini file for OpenGL 1920x1080!) Title: Re: UKGPL S24 Fun Race GT + CA - Watkins Glen - Jan 11 Post by: PaulV on January 12, 2013, 04:20:58 PM +0000 had a lot of fun last night.. thanks all. had a fairly decent run in the first race with the GT's . had tried some faster cars in practice but decided to play safe and took the Porsche. did really good to miss the crash at the start and settled into a nice rythmn was a bit of a mistake really as up against the other cars they are a bit too slow. I did though have a decent dice with Rainier for a few laps. he passed me and I tucked in behind for a few enjoyable laps, could see his tyres appeared to be going off quicker than mine so was hoping to try and make a move on him. got near one time but decided to play safe and not take us both out... backed off a bit and went into a spin.. OOPPSS !!! :laugh: all in all a good race and great fun. The Can Am's though are a bit different to say the least.. took a Maclaren and loved it, got a decent mid grid position for the start . i always qualify on unknown cars with a race setup with full fuel so I was happy. made my way through the little scuffle at turn 1 and then only a little while into he race I was clipped from behind and went off. I hope I never shut the door on anyone, if I did I'm sorry. hope I didn't spoil anyones fun. :angel: but other than that had a great time. ;D one thing though? is it me or whatever I try in the way of FOV whether its via Glpshift or Gem I cannot alter my field of view or move back enough in the cars to see my mirrors. I have used the alternate mirror mips etc but still I'm struggling. I'm hoping after the six months is up since the release of the can am mod that I can get some of the modded and floating mirrors I have seen on line. P.S. is their a suitable mod for mirrors on the GT's ????? cheers, Paul.

For a beginner with the GTs I suppose to take the Lola, as it has a very good handling and is more competitive on faster tracks. To get some setups for the GTs you should look for Steve Cloyds setups in SRMZ.net, they helped me a lot to understand the cars better. The virtual mirrors for GTs you can get here (http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=6680&#entry60120) ;) For the CanAms they are not yet officialy out.... Title: Re: UKGPL S24 Fun Race GT + CA - Watkins Glen - Jan 11 Post by: PaulV on January 12, 2013, 07:30:02 PM +0000 ta Axel, downloaded and will try over the weekend. will take a look for some of Steves setups too. Regards, Paul. |
