Title: UKGPL Season 22 - UKGPL V GPLRACER - Brands Hatch - Dec 20
Post by: vosblod on December 02, 2011, 02:01:08 PM +0000
We have organised another end of season 65 race against GPLRACER. The idea is to allow ALL drivers of mixed abilities the chance to race. Rather then pre-register, and to cut down the admin, this will be a just turn up on the night event. If we have a lot of entrants we will open a second grid. Whilst there isn't a chassis allocation it would be good if you could turn up in your Season 22 chassis so we get a spread of cars. That said if you would prefer not to use the BT7/Coop that's fine as our opposition won't be forced to use these either. Please note the earlier start time of 8.30.
Although you don't need to Pre-Register it would be useful if you could post below if you intend to join us so we have an idea of numbers.
Let's have a generous reception for the drivers from GPLRACER. GPLR's race thread is located at; http://forum.gplracer.eu/topic.php?id=1518& (http://forum.gplracer.eu/topic.php?id=1518&)
Please be in IGOR UKGPL chatroom passworded 'Savage' by 20:20 UK time, (You will need to set up a channel called ukgpl if you haven't already done so)

Qually time = 30 minutes (server will start at 35 mins)
Race length = LONG - 33 laps (extra points for finishers)

Points Scoring (per grid);
Standard Points Positions 1-19:
-------------------------------
30 - 25 - 21 - 18 - 16 - 14 - 13 - 12 - 11 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1

Extra Points:
-------------
3 Extra Points for each driver who can finish the race (being lapped still counts)
10 Team Points for the whole Team (GPLRACER / UKGPL), if all drivers of the team cross the finish line.

In the event of there being two grids the results of both grids will be combined to produce the overall winners.

IF we have an uneven number of drivers from each team the numbers will be evened up after the race. eg if we had 10 UKGPL and 9 GPL Racers the last placed UKGPL'er won't count.

Seems i'll be able to make this too, once it starts 30 minutes earlier than usual  ;)

But I'd like to stay as a reserve driver for this race. I already raced UKGPL x GPFUN, maybe there are some drivers who didn't race in that occasion that can make this one. :)

Brands Hatch is great fun with the 65s...excellent choose!


PS: If you guys are interested, seems a nice idea to make a fun event like this with GPL Brasil too. Just tell me a vacant date and we can organize some fun race :)

I have asked in GeLi if they are intersted to do it.
But they will race in 60fps only! Maybe an opportunity to test it for UKGPL...

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if there'd be any 'special' races in the lead-up to Christmas, and here we are.

There seems to be quite a lot of interest already, but if there is space I will be happy to blow the dust of my 65 and line-up.  I am happy to defer to the 65 series drivers if it gets too busy though.

Hopefully I'd do better than the race against GPFUN where I couldn't quite avoid a spinning car on L1!

Bob.

It is subject to your grouping. It would just be nice if we get a decent spread of chassis rather then a spec race.

OK we have 16 who have indicated they wish to race (list below in order of signing up).
As it stands GPL Racer have approx 10 so, depending on how many turn up on the night, we might heavilly outnumber them.
I think the only fair way to do it is take the first 9 signee's (per the order below) then open up a second server for a fun race for extra drivers. Anyway let's see how many we have on the night.

Bernie (and everyone else)

I've put the track update here (ftp://ukgpl3.dyndns.org/Tracks/Brands)

I hope you can access that.

You can backup the original folder and install this - you will lose any mod specific files such as the .ini files if that is important for you. So just backup the original and copy them over after the install.

I decided to be different, and did a disco -  survived long enough to do battle with a couple of late starting front runners, until my untimely demize.  It may be time to start a parallel points system, open to those who are frequently misplaced, dis-raced, or disgraced.  The winner, would be most frequent looser! :-\

Decided to 'have fun' on UKGPL3 as T7 was full (or so I thought). Brands is OK but not one of my favourites. Lack of practice showed and after a good first lap had a couple of spins that put me well down. Had to reset so I waited for Nigel so that I could have a race but lost him within half a lap and crashed again. Rest warmed the tyres and then... crashed again. Ho hum. Wait for Nigel... this time I stayed with him and he went wide on the last corner, great I thought, I can catch right up here and took a tight line, clipping the grass, spinning and crashing into an innocent hay bale :(

Rest was REALLY slow so that I could race Nigel again (albeit three laps down). Zoomed out and crashed in Dingle Dell.  >:( Gave up.

Spa is the last race of the year for me and it had better be an improvement!

Thanks to GPLRacer for making this an Interleague Event and giving us some great competition.

Not my best ever race, despite a reasonable qually that got me 3rd spot on the grid behind two very quick GPLRacers.

The gearing on my Honda gave Paul Skingley the opportunity to steal 3rd spot before Paddock Hill bend in his Ferrari as we started and I was back into 4th.
The first few laps were very quick and although I felt that I could have gone slightly quicker , it was not enough to make a pass on Paul's Fezza. So, I set about hassling him from behind in the hope that a small mistake would provide an opening, There was a small mistake but it was mine, not his!!, and a half spin that refused to be corrected with armfuls of opp lock and much jiggling of throttle pedal ended with my car parked on top of the grass bank.
Some quick gearchanging with revving and rocking got the car off the bank and back on all 4 wheels so that I was able to rejoin the race somewhere near the tail of the field. But a lap or so later it transpired that I must have damaged the engine as everything went very, very quiet approaching Druids...race over.
Grats to Paul for the win and well done to the rest of the UKGPL team for getting the points victory, sorry I was unable to contribute.

Yeah I'll second Clive's comments re thanking GPLracer for a great event.

I had a bit of a tough time and failed to get to grips with a few corners...especially Surtees.  I watched a few of the fast guys before heading out and observed a variety of lines, which was interesting.

I actually pulled together a half decent qually lap and made a reasonable start.  After about 7 or 8 laps my front tyres were overheating and I started to struggle.  A few moments made sure Fulvio caught and passed me.  A few spins and moments relegated me further and I started trying to oversteer out of corners to save the fronts, which seemed to work, at least in cooling the fronts.  Perhaps my setup left a lot to be desired, but is this the way to drive the BRM?  I saw a few others swinging their cars around.

Wishing you all a great Christmas and New Year, see you in 2012!

Bob.
