Title: UKGPL Season 23 (2012) - Moon - Dec 28
Post by: Billy Nobrakes on December 24, 2012, 01:14:48 PM +0000
Once you’ve stuffed yourself stupid on Christmas dinner here’s something to keep you amused. A double header fun race on the Moon.

The event will be Formula 2 Spec contest, featuring both Lolas. You can start with whichever one you like but have to use the other Lola for the next race. 15 minutes qualification & Intermediate Short race distance.

It’s a fun race, unlimited Shift R but you are asked to observe the normal GPL rule of taking a Stop & Go after every reset.

Personally I have no idea what the track is like. I’m reliably informed it isn’t too long or difficult to learn, although an anti-gravity set up will help.

Please note the slightly earlier start time of 8.45.

Race List = IGOR
Server = UKGPL8
Race date = Friday 28-12-2012

Race length = Intermediate Short
Variant = 1967 Formula 2 – Lola T100 FVA & Lola T100 BMW

Even if it's earlier than usual, I almost always join late during Qualifying, so I can't always be present in the chat or see the password being mentioned there.

What a superb little track! it reminds me a little of Goodwood or Zandvoort in that you need to find the groove and go with it, tryig to hurry the car into some of those corners can create a big "off".. I was half way across the moon when I tried "Lamont" in 4th gear :D
I seem to be sitting comfortably in the 1:14s on default setups on both cars, marginally faster in the FVA.

I was disappointed to miss these races, I tried to join but each time was taken to the GPL Multiplayer screen, from where I could only click the red button.  I had a rummage through GEM but nothing seemed amiss, anyone any ideas?

Decided to watch my Christmas DVD, "Fastest" instead, highly recommended to anyone with an interest in motogp.

Really enjoyed these! What an awesome track this is, I wish we would run it in official seasons even if it's not a real life track. The flow it has is just superb and the immersion due to its visuals adds something fresh and new compared to the usual greenery/yellowish type of colors we face on normal tracks. I find it quite easy on the eyes and not as tiring.
