Title: UKGPL Season 22 (2011-2012) - UKGPL v GPL Brasil - Jan 15, 2012 NOW WITH F2
Post by: BadBlood on December 20, 2011, 03:56:17 PM +0000
The UKGPL v GPL Brasil Challenge Fun Races.

Another GPL league - another Challenge. This time a double header! GPL Brasil have challenged us to a race so we have agreed to a race on their patch and a race on ours.

A Brazilian Grand Prix followed by a classic British GP. 65's at Intelagos and then 67's (TBC) at Silverstone.

Sadly several of the best UKGPL drivers will be turning out for GPL Brasil  ;)

But let us make this event (the first of many, hopefully) a good one.


Interlagos:

We will use the 65 mod here.

Our friends at GPL Brasil have run at Interlagos a number of times, here's a lap with Raoni in the 69 mod to give you a preview of what you are up against; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi7EH2hsbHU

The Brazilian Grand Prix first used the original layout in 1973, and for the final time in 1980. Short highlights of that race are available here; http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9119247.stm well worth a look for the amazing straighline speed of the Renault turbo car :whistling:[/quote]

Silverstone:

An original Papy track. The layout has been changed many times since the heyday of this airfield in Northamptonshire. We are using the classic Papy original with the 67 F2 semi-beasts. The 1967 race was won by the late, great Jim Clark who completed 80 Laps! in 1 hour 59 minutes, 25.6 seconds. We wont be running quite so long but we might match the speed! Somebody will have to really go for it to beat the pole of 1:25.3 though!

Unlimited Shift+R is permitted but each must be followed by a Stop & Go

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

Race List = IGOR
Chatroom = UKGPL
Server = UKGPL_3
IP address = ping UKGPL3.dyndns.org
Race date = 15-01-2012
Variant = 65/67 F2 Get the 67 F2 mod here (http://www.f2legends.net)
Tracks = Interlagos and Silverstone
Qually time = 20 minutes (server will start at 20:30 and 21:30 UK time)
Race time (Race 1/Race 2) = 21:00/22:00 UK time
Race length = 30 min

Drivers so far

Badblood (UK)
Raoni Frizzo (Brasil)
Bernie
Natan
Evil Clive
Alex Barresi
Mark Barresi
Geoff65
Beefpie
Hristo
Fulvio
Doni

If we have enough drivers, we can run two grids but we must have even teams. We will see how many GPL Brasil we get on the night and we will even up the teams then - if necessary, UKGPLers can guest for GPL Brasil but everyone will get a drive. Just turn up on the night in iGOR but don't forget - 20:30!

BTW, wouldn't Brazilian GPLers experience lag/warp due to the location distance?

I recently ran a couple of races with ausgpl, and was surprised to find, it all worked Ok!  Perhaps the ability to race, has more to do with, the quality of the Server, than with the distance to the Client? :cowboy:

Post by: BadBlood on December 29, 2011, 08:18:36 PM +0000
It is all to do with the quality of connection to the ISP and inter-ISP connectivity. TCP/IP has no cost of service and is not a guaranteed delivery service. Therefore if the traffic levels are high, delays increase and that causes warp. The UK has 60 million people, of whom, a large number have broadband. Australia has less people and necessarily less traffic.

What time did you race? Very early is low traffic in Europe and the USA, Very late, the USA kicks in. Day makes a difference too.

The wireless connection can be a problem but generally latencies are low enough for it not to be an issue. All depends really...

I can give you a lecture on Ethernet connectivity and how DECNet works as well  ;D

Well that is a pretty strong argument for doing F2's ;)

Are you saying you want to keep the 65's? Anyway, why the hell are you practising at Christmas for a Fun Race... get a grip man... and have a (mince) pie.  ;D

Post by: Hristo Itchov on December 30, 2011, 12:31:31 PM +0000
F2 handle similar to the 65s, although their tires seem to have a bigger slip angle ratio so you get more pronounced understeer and oversteer, depending on the setup. In particular I noticed how easy it is to lose the rear under braking, even more so than in 67s. I also noticed you can put them quite sideways on corner entry and the car wouldn't spin out, and that's something I'm not so sure is very realistic, but overall it's a nice feeling.

Anyway, my point was that if you have practiced in 65s, you can use similar setup in F2 and similar way of driving, so it's not a wasted practice.

Post by: maddog on December 30, 2011, 01:23:45 PM +0000
A reason these F2's handle differently, is because of their lighter weight, and better grip.  I don't know the actual slip angle, built into the new physics model, but it should be less than the 65's.  It's because of their weights, lower moment of inertia, and greater grip level, that they can be rescued from situations, unexpectedly.  Two obscure English expressions come to mind, from this : 'Variety is the spice of life' and, 'What's good for the Goose, is sauce for a gander'. :laugh:

You have to find a new brake bias!
The brakes are way more agressive and more effective, if you learn to use them.
I can brake 30m later into Parabolica than with 65s!

Yeah, f2 brakes seem similiar to GT's... lately I dont even dare to press them fully, it seems recipe for dissaster. Brake bias doesnt seem to do much... seems theres some fine balance btw toe in, springrates, front rollbar and even bump rubber... I cant find the balance tho.

All F2 sounds good to me.      :clap:     Seems to me that the F2 engine unit weight is well down on the others.....so, BBias of 60-61 is what I'm using effectively....and yes Axel I'm braking later into Para as well with no ill effects. Set a more forward bias and try it out.

I don't think my problem comes from brake bias. I don't lock up the rear or front, it's all balanced. It's just that to reach the limit of the tire, it has to go more sideways, and that makes the rear very loose when the weight goes on the front while you decelerate. Similarly, you need to turn the front wheels more than with 67s or other mods, to reach the limit of adhesion. It makes for a rather unpredictable car to handle, especially if you try to push towards the limit of grip. On corner exits it's actually quite understeery, so it's easy to put the power down, but corner entries are tricky.

I think F2 is the first mod in wich physic tend towards realism, also if car's behavior remains beyond the physical laws.

It is quite impressive how did you find up all these differences between all mods in so few time, thinking I still don't know much about the only 3 mods I've ever used (67, GT and 65 since 2 weeks)  :o ::) :P ;)


Title: Re: UKGPL Season 22 (2011-2012) - UKGPL v GPL Brasil - Jan 15, 2012 NOW WITH F2
Post by: Hristo Itchov on January 05, 2012, 01:38:12 PM +0000
Well, the reason I don't agree on the realism part is because I've read in many sources those cars were quite understeery. That's why they almost always used maximum open differential on coast side and maximum locked diff on power side. The former to allow them to turn better at corner entry and the latter to break the rear under throttle and then drift it around the corner exit. With the F2 mod the cars are much looser because of those larger slip angles of the tires and you really have no feeling for the limit of the car because the limit is beyond the normal direction the car is going. It's almost like driving a 4WD rally car on loose surface, except you don't have front drive to pull you through.

For that reason alone you need to go more conservative with the setup, otherwise you end up in sudden half-spins here and there anytime you push the car to its limit. And while before I thought drivers of the era were not pushing 100%, my opinion changed after reading a few articles written back then. There was no compromise in terms of driving, the drivers were really extracting the maximum out of the cars.

I will continue to experiment with setup changes when I have more time, but so far that's my conclusion. Of course, it doesn't detract from the mod being enjoyable to drive and it should produce some really good and close racing, but if I have to compare it to other mods in terms of realism, I think the 66 mod is much more realistic, at least tire model wise.

Post by: s2173 on January 05, 2012, 02:29:09 PM +0000
Well, about how it feels... I dont know. But it drives more realisticly in my opinion... In 65's and 66's you can really just drift the car (just tapping the brakes wery late in corner, sliding car aside and accelerating to pull yourself out of corner)  which seems to be slower, but not emmidiatly obvious. You can do the same with porsche from gt mod. In f2's it doesnt work, and tuyng to drift these cars gives you really bad exit speed, especialy because of the low power of cars, so the benefit of proper entrance/exit shows. It might be better newbie mod in that sence, because 65's might give bad habits if driven extencivly...   

I did find a setup that brakes wery stable, and so far been using it with all the cars and getting decent times... 60 brake bias helps, but i have the impression the default setup makes the front tyres bite too much on braking too. I cant post files here tho... has 3/2 front shocks, 4/3 rear, -0.60 front chamber, -0.100 front toe, 60 brake bias, 85/30/6 diff... shocks seem to do the trick mostly, but what do i know.

Everything that prevents GPL's drivers to drive as in rallycar on dirt road, it's a step towards realism, imho.

Post by: Hristo Itchov on January 05, 2012, 04:39:14 PM +0000
It's the opposite with F2, to drive them on the limit you have to keep them sideways all the time, otherwise you're just not reaching the limit of the tires. That's the point I'm trying to make. Their limit of grip is at much sideways position than the other mods. I wanted to record a video with Fraps to show you that, but for some reason GPL crashes when I press the record button. Not sure if it's the F2 mod or something else went wrong on my system. I'll deal with it when I have more time.

Hi Guys, I'll be up for this.

Erm...has the mod changed, I thought it was going to 67s at Interlagos, which seemed to be a good match.

How do we expect to match up against the Brazilians?  Are they all Senna types or more Ricardo Zonta?  Just wondering if we are expecting another GPL(no)fun style drubbing!

Bob.

Well, don't expect some Ayrton Sennas running for GPL Brasil next sunday, because unfortunately a lot of our drivers won't be able to make up the race :( I think we'll be more like Ricardo Zonta style or something even worse, like Ricardo Rosset types :laugh:

Anyway, it'll be surely a very nice event. Interlagos is a very tricky circuit, even with slower cars, and Silverstone is always a challenging one, with lots of overtaking places.

You have to get SOME benefit from organising a race.

I have stuck up a practice session for F2s at Silvy. No excuse for not practising now...

In order to avoid confusion and allow everyone to play, we can put d 'agreement before the race on how organize servers?
I think that, as in the match against GPLRacer, drivers UKGPL outnumber those GPLBrasil.
We can organize teams of up to 9 drivers, with various possibilities:
- 2 servers with 1 team UKGPL and half team GPLBrasil;
- the two teams UKGPL can afford GPLBrasil in turn: one will run at Interlagos, the other at Silverstone;
- part of UKGPL drivers can run for GPLBrasil, in order to balance the participants on the servers.
In short, the idea is to not leaving anyone out, since there is the chance to have fun all together; if my proposal will be accepted, please specify in the first post the organizational choice made so that everyone knows that can participate without problems.

- the two teams UKGPL can afford GPLBrasil in turn: one will run at Interlagos, the other at Silverstone;
- part of UKGPL drivers can run for GPLBrasil, in order to balance the participants on the servers.
In short, the idea is to not leaving anyone out, since there is the chance to have fun all together; if my proposal will be accepted, please specify in the first post the organizational choice made so that everyone knows that can participate without problems.

Some good thoughts Alex. Thank you. I will talk to Raoni and update the post tonight.

@Tim - you can at least make the start and take out a few opponents then retire? That shouldn't cause much noise as you won't be turning the wheel at all.  :D

Well - the results are up for Interlagos but Silverstone may be delayed for a while because it is F2 and the imports don't work out the box for that.

I don't entirely recognise all the names either so I am not sure which team they drove for - lol.

As for the races - disaster for me. Steering wheel broke and then my main PC wouldn't boot :(

Got on the laptop and did some frantic installing.... no wired internet though so I couldn't race. Started at Interlagos but after two minutes playing 8 fps again. It is very odd. It must be some processor issue but I am damned if I can find it. :(

Mini then drove the Silverstone race and won on UKGPL8 but I have to consider, whether, as Chief Mod, I should disqualify my son for not taking a stop'n'go....


... Nah  ;D

Whitfield honour upheld. Gutted to miss it but a nice event. We will do some more.

Replays up and results imported (sort of) had to modify the F2 to persuade the database it was a real race.

Can't be bothered to work out the points but GPL Brasil won both races but UKGPL got more drivers home....

A DRAW

Thanks for all of UKGPL friends who appeared last Sunday for the race! It was a honour to share the track with you all :)

Both races were real fun. At Interlagos I had a very good setup and fast car, but I lost the chance of doing an 1-2 with my teammate John due to a lag accident, maybe I got so close to his car than I should ;D

At Silverstone I had more luck. Although being pole-position, my pace was not so good, but I regained the lead after Tristan and Mark accidents and could bring the car home.

Although the 2 victories of GPL Brasil drivers, the UKGPL drivers were way more regular, especially at Silverstone. But I think that the most important is the fun, and I hope that everybody enjoyed the event. Hope we can make another one in the near future ;)
