My new computer is almost four years old, but it is new to me. I am running GPL with the Intel integrated graphics on the CPU. I actually had a solid 60 fps the entire race. It performed better than my old Nvidia gtx 560ti! My only problem is a screen tear. I was so happy to be able to race that the screen tear did not bother me. I am looking forward to trying different mods to see what it can handle. Unfortunately, I did not drive very good. The track looked like it would be friendly to the Cooper. So the fault has to lie with me today. But I had fun trying to put a good lap together. I blew the engine on lap 11, and then wrapped the car around a tree on lap twelve.

I expect Cookie/someone knowledgeable about such things would be able to help; but possibly there could be some vsync setting to be be tweaked. If it's not enabled in GEM, then maybe enable it/give it a go... Unfortunately, I did not drive very good. The track looked like it would be friendly to the Cooper. So the fault has to lie with me today. But I had fun trying to put a good lap together. I blew the engine on lap 11, and then wrapped the car around a tree on lap twelve. Shame! From the qually session [where I was going to use the setup I used before; then realised I haven't been here before in 65s!] it looked as if we would most likely be keeping each other company for most of the race; whilst all other runners were doing their own thing. First half a lap wasn't too bad, until I stacked it along with Bastian. I was convinced I saw a coming together over the crest & eased off more to not join in. Back of the car came round & Bastian had nowhere to go - apart from over the fence! Then some lonely running for a while way back; but I could see Bastian reeling me in lap after lap. Did a good lap [for me] in his tow, then forgot where I was; went off over the crest & the car then refused to make any right hand corners without spinning out. I kept keep running in case there was some over exuberance elsewhere but was pootling around, trying to keep out of the way. Although it was rather pitiful. I thought this was the last race for s29; but roll-on Mosport! Cheers chaps, Dave.

Of course, that's just begging for some inappropriate comment. But you're not getting it from me!

Very enjoyable race for me with some close racing with Billy then Bernie, unfortunately hit a tree shift r then stop and go. New install of GPL working perfect with full screen and normal cars.
Grats to Carlos on win
Grats to Podium

Last night i was a bit unlucky.
I qualifed with race fuel and could have been a bit faster maybe.
At the start (roger ?) didn't move and I had a contact and lost some positions.
In the righthander after the climb Dave was going into a big slide and as he said I had to go over the fence. Sorry Dave.
I reseted and went to the pitlane. I stopped. Instead of accelerating, I shift /r again by mistake. I asked the reko already for mercy in a report.
Later, i catched roger again, i didn't see his shift r and was slipstreaming him on the straight when he suddenly got slower to enter the pits. I hit you again, sorry, but I wasn't expecting you going into pits. Thought you have been just off the track. Nearly spun on the straight, I could avoid this.
I collected Dave again, I was really fast but John, Carlos and Bernie were far far away and unfortunately i could not join their battle.
Hope there will be a great final race in 14 days.
Best Regards, Bastian

Race start saw 8 cars on the grid , 7 pairs of eyes watching for the flagman to drop the flag , meanwhile , 1 pair of eyes ( guess who ?) watching for the little man in blue on the pits side to wave the flag left wondering why everyone has gone without him Dohhhh ! being stationary while the rest of the field is racing off into the distance is not good , Bastion ? rear ends me but fortunately no damage and all OK though I did have to dive in and out of the pits to find the track . Some great racing after catching up to Billy and Rog but it wasnt to last , at one point entering T1 the yellows were waving , I lifted and ran wide, spun and collected whoever it was (Walter?) who was lurking in the tall grass recovering from his own spin. that needed a s/r then going for my s/g and braking for the pits the car following who I thought was Walter was maybe Bastion ? caught out by my braking for the pit entrance , sorry if I made the race a bit to interesting for you . After that it was back to the old game of playing catch up . Great track but found it very tiring to drive well which I failed to do most of the time Grats to the podium

A really fun track to drive. Hockenheim was almost a BT11 spec race so I thought I would try out something different. After a few evenings practice I found how to set up the Lotus to be a touch faster than the Brabham In qually I set a PB to start P2. Did not have the race pace to stay with Johnny or Carlos & I was being extra careful on T1 & the blind jump where it is too easy to bin it. Early on Rog gave me a hard time for several laps. Later Bastisn found some consistency but I had enough gap to hold on for the bottom step of the podium. Once dropped results are avcounted for the last race will be interesting between Carlos, Johnny & Bastian for the championship. Bring on Mosport.

I was also wondering the Flagman flying on the left side, didn't notice him at the first view...at least i didn't hurt you both times, i was coming along as well. It never got boring, that race

Bastian, I will have a proper look during the moderation but I don"t expect you will be disqualified for an accidental Shift R.

<snip!> 1 pair of eyes ( guess who ?) watching for the little man in blue on the pits side to wave the flag left wondering why everyone has gone without him Dohhhh ! Make that 2x pairs of eyes! I was also watching him, then realised just before the off that he was just some cardboard cutout & not the startman at all!

A bit late but here goes... I had a good start from third into first and kept it that way until I dropped it and Carlos went through, a few laps later he lost it too at the tricky right hander up the hill and so I took back the lead only to give it back again... Carlos always had a bit more speed than me and got a deserved win. Thanks all see you next time.
