S31 - 67 Sport Cars - Fun Race – Road America Now I need to drive something else... Next Fun event takes place at Road America the new track made by Remy and Ginetto. Road America, near Elkhart Lake in Wisconsin, is one of North America's finest road racing venues, with a challenging mix of corners and undulations. The event is unmoderated – but the usual high standards are expected. Unlimited Shift R is allowed & there are no Stop & Go’s. But please be carefull... Race list | iGOR | Server | UKGPL_8 | IP address | look at IGOR | Date | 20-08-2017 | Track | Road America | Mod | SC67 with 60fpsV1 | Damage | INT long | Race time | ~ 21:30 UK time | Qualifying | 20:45 UK time - 45 minutes | Race length | 20 laps | Replay | get here |
Please restrict chat to emergency messages only including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line. GLA and FUN

I highly recommend to use the "GPL Tire Pressure Bug Fix Patch" of Lee Bowden for the Sport Cars. It makes the cars tyres way better controllable and reduces the brake bug to a minimum.

Thanks for that recommendation, Axel. I've not used the patch up til now but just tried it after two, 4-lap stints at Road America. The first 'as is'; the 2nd with the patch. While I was no faster...in fact, about 1/2s slower..., control under braking was far, far better with the patch. I'm sure that with a little more seat time, I'll easily surpass my current PB.

Put it in the GPLsecrets\GEM+\options folder where the 60fps patches are and activate it in GEM+

Aah, just been doing some laps offline. Should have waited for the server.
I think I'll miss this one though, I just don't get on with this mod and always find myself in the Porsche again.

Mike just take the Porsche, ignore all default setup settings and set it up like a 67 F1.
Those weird settings were made because of the tyre bug...

I can't promise I'll make this one, I had a ridiculously long couple of days Thursday/Friday and will most likely choose bed over racing!

Not bad, incident on the start with a slingering car. some good fights, but retired later, was too tired and made one mistake too much.
