Title: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - Monza - Jan 24
Post by: EvilClive on January 16, 2014, 11:18:37 AM +0000
The first of the GT and Can Am races for this season.

Based upon the performances last season there will be a few tweaks to the cars available to the Light drivers for each round with the intention of bringing the Heavies more into contention. I will be monitoring the results and as the season progresses the cars available to the Lights may be adjusted for different circuits.
Race posts should appear at least 7 days before each round so that drivers have a chance to experiment with the cars that are available to them.

The format will be the same as last year with 2 races on each Friday, starting with the F2's and 69x's followed by the Gt's and Can Ams the following week at the same track.

A single Shift R is allowed but no SnG is required.


Race List = IGOR
Server = UKGPL_8
IP address =TBA
Race date = 24-1-2014
Race time =   Race 1 starts at 21:05 UK time
Qualifying time = minimum 15 minutes, starting no later than 20:45 UK time
Track = Monza (Papy)
Variant = GT (18 laps) and Can Am (20 laps)
Damage Model = INT
Race length = see above
Password: see above
Replays Available here (ftp://ukgpl3.dyndns.org/Replays/Archive/Season26/Friday/)


GT's            Heavies                                                     Lights
                   Free Choice                                   Porsche, Mk1 Ford, Mk4 Ford and Mirage

Can Am         Free Choice                                   NOT  Mclaren M8F, Lola 260 or Shadow

I hope that some of the very fastest drivers ( you know who you are  ;)!) will select a car that challenges them rather than go for the fastest chassis available. But human nature being what it is, I suspect there will be a lot of very similar cars on the grid lol!

I made a setup for the Ford GT40 MkI when driving around Monza with Clouds the other week. I did a 1:34.19 with it, but I think there is some room left to break into the 33's, especially with some slipstream. See if you like it :) .

Congatulations to Gareth and Mum and baby.  :thumbup2: 

Just as an aside , but kind of related.  Being old enough to have regained some control in my house now that the offspring have left the nest, they thought it amusing to present me with a T shirt for Christmas with this printed across the chest....

IMO this track is such well known and easy even for the very heavies, that a light has only a minimal chance for the podium taking the fastest chassis available.  ::)

Pretty exciting GT race. Biff bash bosh. Had 10 seconds to practice :(

Good start and then a crash in front which I threaded through and I thought I had lucked out. But a wicked blue car had other ideas... then Fran caught me I passed him and then went flying - we just wanted the same tarmac I guess. Thought I had left you enough room Fran, sorry if not. Bit hard to judge in these beasties. Another biff from behind at Lesmo 2 and then finally a spin at Parabolica right in front of Cookie who flipped on my lid. Hope it didn't cost him. As I had popped an engine earlier, that was that. Fun while it lasted.

Can Ams to come.

Oops. Off the start well and then saw a flying car in front of me. Dave didn't so that was our first reset. Then he saw Ronnie (I think) stopped in the middle of Curva Grande. I didn't. Bash. Sorry. Then we set off for what seemed about a million laps of chase pass and re-pass. Mad a bad mistake at Lesmo 1 and rejoined bumpily out of control but with Dave right behind. Went defensive into Parabolica and braked a little earlier to account for the tighter line. Dave was caught by surprise and that was our race. Enjoyed racing you Dave. Sorry it ended like that.

Many congrats Gareth, you told me an hour after your wife gave birth yesterday :) Also what you did in Ghog yesterday was very classy and so unselfish. Hope to pay you back one day... ;)

Couldn't make it tonight, was on a date (which didn't work out btw, I'm such a fool with women :(). Hope you all had fun!

I have some apologies to make here. I was just out of my depth, although what is simpler than Monza?

The start and L1 T1 in both races seemed to be clean. In the GTs there was a coming together near the front in the Lesmos after a few laps and I almost made it through the gap that appeared, but I was tagged again and again and again. Eventually I found myself facing the right way and clear ahead, so I planted my right foot, slewed sideways and collected Paul, who required a reset. Sorry Paul. I had a steady run then and picked up a few places to 5th. Blew the engine in Ascari. Reset and wondered if this series required a stop and go. I did one and lost a few more places. Regained a few places and on the penultimate lap Ronnie in front was wide in CG, so I tried to hug the inside kerb, hit it and spun. As I tried to regain control and limp to the side of the track, Dave Rainier came through and picked the side I was limping towards. Very sorry Dave to end your race there. I reset from upside down (oh dear - 2nd reset - that's me DQ'd), went round to the pits to do another irrelevant stop and go as Axel lapped me and took the chequered flag. Grats for a fine win in that dangerous MKIV.

The Canams were tidy until lap1 Parabolica where a number of us played in the sand having our own incidents. I recovered behind Fran who was very fast on the straights and very slow and wobbly in the corners. After a number of close shaves where it seemed to me that the door was open for a pass and then shut again, I was up the inside in CG with Fran wide, but he cut back across and I had to reset. A few laps later he was wide in and out of Lesmo2, so I went for the inside and he came back across again. In both cases I hadn't come alongside, but Fran if you had kept your line we would have been ok. As the following driver it's all my fault and if it was real life we would be dead, so I'm very sorry about that. A little later I blew the engine and requiring a second reset now knowing the rules, I retired rather than get a DQ again.

I had a comedy moment somewhere following Ronnie into Parabolica. I missed my braking, nearly scalped him and careered headlong into the sand and the hedge. Generally my driving was below par and embarrassing. Sorry to those I tangled with. Thanks for those I raced with and grats to those who did well tonight.

Congratulations Gareth!!

Both races were fairly scrappy for me.  Sorry to Axel for the incident in the CanAms, you just took me by surprise and I couldn't react fast enough.  Monza just didn't seem to work for me, so I'm glad to be leaving it behind.

Big thanks to Andy for one of those priceless moment in GPL. As I approached my breaking point I looked in my mirrors to see exactly where you were and thought "what the ......." as you closed at warp factor 9!!! Brilliant mate and made my night. Grats to the podiums and to Gareth on the new arrival.

No problem Andy, that was a racing incident.
From my opinion, when you have an accident and cars are coming very quickly, the best way is to stay motionless until they have passed.
For the GT race, I choose the MK1 ...it is a pleasant car to drive but very slow !

In the CanAm race, I choose the Lola T222, another nice car to drive but a little bit faster .
I was in a correct position (6 or 7th ?) when I was violently rear ended by another car at the entry of Curva Grande. I had to reset and did a Stop and go, then I could have no other ambition than just finish the race  :-\
I think, but not sure, it was Martin still mad dog  ;) and I will not report any incident as I have no other ambition on these Friday's race than have fun.

...you just took me by surprise and I couldn't react fast enough.

Hm, I was more than a car lenght ahead, but my earlier lifting for T1 L1 has surprised you  :(
I recovered in 10th and had a great race fighting back to 4th in the only McLaren M8B ;)

A last minute decision to not take the stronger Motschenbacher Mc as the difference in a lap is not too big.
I was surprised to make the drag race from the start to T1 :o

The CA race was great fun fighting with Clive, Martin, Andy and David,
but a little dissapointing with my Antipasti teamie Fran who seems to ignore blue flags and to not use pribluda  :(

The GT race was a real challenge with the MK4  ;D
But in my tamed version it is fun to drive. No problems with overtaking backmarkers but my teamie...

Great fun this series!
Maybe some heavies need a little help in setting the big beasts up, to not drive the straights in snake lines...

PS
Is there a red zone?

Race 1 :  Dangerous track, but the Chaparral was well sorted, and hopes were high.  I knew that given the chance, Cookie would run off, and I'd take a hiding.  Also that Chaparrals do not start well.  As I feared, it took a vital lap to gain 2nd spot, before trying to haul in a disappearing MkIV, which was really cooking.  I failed! 

A spin mid-race, put Sergio in my place.  I was unable to put him in his, until he opened his window at a bad moment?  The side swipe was unintended, but Windows had opened the door.  I was surprised to survive the contact intact!  Did the decent thing, and gave the place back on the final lap, when running out of fuel, approaching Parabolica.  :taz:

Race 2 :  Failed to find a setup, that was both fast and forgiving, so opted for neither.  Looking good until I was reminded, these Can-Am's don't all brake at the same spot.  Managed to help 2 different T222's gain some extra speed, with results not helpful to them.  I've no problem with penalties for doing my worst, team Lola.  Entirely my mistakes, and not much work for Moderation to sort out.

Motor Racing comes, with it's highs and lows.  With too much action, by mid-race my tyres were cooked.  So, parked it before doing any more damage.

GT race: started good. Lap1 Lesmo1 Maddog spins, Jones couldn’t avoid him, me either. mass chrash .. down to P9 from P4.
Lap 2 Jones missed Para by warp ( looks like in replay ) Locarno as well, Frizzo ditto & me too being closed behind Clive, only 67kmh slow but no chance to stop the car from left drifting ( really something modders should work on , more important then have hundreds of mods ,imo ) . well from that point on my Mirage acts horrible. Turns out that severe probs at left rear & minor probs on al other suspension had been the reason. I stopped the race.

CanAm race: got again an nice start. P4 after Lesmo 2. But at Lesmo Lap 1 Maddog rearended my LolaT222. P8 then.  Got some very nice racing closed behind Livingston& Molten over some number of laps, till they contact each others at Curva Grande . P5 then.
Cookie caught me up easily at Lap 11 and coz I missed braking point into Par at Lap 17 I turned out on P7.
__________________--

Well, must say I do very much prefer CanAm over GT.
Gts don’t brake at all , do left/right swimming on straights  and most bad to me : they do lost all grip even so the optimum tyre temp of 123°Celsius isn’t even reached ( 80° Celsius seems to be deadline to overheat)  and  the optimum hot  tyre pressure of 220kpa cant be achieved .

BUT could be my cgt.exe is wrong coz pribluda shows me an optimum tyre temp range from 65°C up to 138°C….. ???

I was the only Chaparral in the GT race Nicky, and up near the front.  I suspect it was some other filthy swine, that hurt your chances.  EDIT : Lap 2, I scrapped along the armco, and noticed rotational activity behind me. 

The way our cars behave is called 'Physics'.  Gt physics is a little different from other Mods.  The brake lock bug is undesirable.  This type of physics has not been repeated.  But these have been raced successfully by podium persons - the challenge is a little different.  

I don't use Pribluda, as it wasn't available in 1967, and suggest you switch it off.

For me the GT brakelock has occurred very seldom in the last races.
I think the main avoiding tactics is to have a stiff front damping ( 9/12 here!) for nearly every GT.

This is my Mirage good for a 1:31:76

IMO pribluda is a must, as it helps to "see" what a monitor can't show!
I do allways know where an opponent is as I have the distance in meters in the center.

Possibly true.  However,  I expect the mirrors (however proxy!) were able to show more than 1-2 cars behind at once...
(Although it's rare for me to have that many cars behind, as they're usually ahead of me!)

Having said that,  I seem to find prib just lies quite often.

Prologue:
During the afternoon, windows showed me again that there was something to update in my computer. I didn't want to agree to this update because I didn't know how GPL would behave with it so I continuously refused to accept it until 2 hours from the race when I pressef OK without pay much attention to what I was doing and the story has begun...
What the damn 40 updates have lasted I don't know but, when we were in pre race chat I've told to Axel that I was especting windows to complete the download and installation of the update before to enter the server for start the practice but...at 5 minutes from the end of the practice, I still had 2 updates to download and install !!! Bastard update...I decided to enter the server anyway otherwise I could loose all the race, but I knew that I could have had a popup window showing up just in the middle of my race with obvious results. In any case I've taken a decision in a few seconds and...I raced anyway and so on...

GT:
At this point I only had 5 minutes to try a clean lap and with my Peronal Best near 1:30.00 made yesterday in a stint, I thought I could be competitive, but one thing is a stint and a completely different stuff is a race. Infact amongst mistakes and the other cars, I have not been able to be near my Personal Best laptime and so I started from the 6th place on the start grid. No problem, I knew my car had a good setup and I kept calm (and I was right).

A race is a question of preparation and..."fortune", so this time and I don't know why, I kept the center lane immediately after the green flag and it was the right choice because I left all the problems behind me (and I've seen they have been a lot). So the 1st lap has gone smoothly but already at the 2nd lap the things have changed in bad, because at Lesmo1 somebody has lost the back, hitting the armco and bouncing in the middle of the track involving other cars in the incident. Since Axel and Martin were the leaders, they definately escaped while the 3nd, 4rd and 5th have made a heap. I was the 6th and I had almost to stop my car to avoid the cars that were spreaded in track.

Anyway I retook the race from the 3rd place while Axel and Martin were far away on the horizon  :P. Near mid race, I caught up Martin in his Chap 2F , but the next lap while I was preparing for T1R...ZAP...and the damn window has popped up like I said before while the race screen has disappeared. Instintively I have left the throttle and pressed on the brake pedal turning the drive wheel on the right thinking that at this point my car already have had a huge crash on the armco and so I pressed the left button on the mouse and...wow the race screen reappeared again while I was slipping on the armco at Curva Grande. Damn...I waited the drive wheel to become effective again retaking the race again from the 3rd place and trying to feel any possible problem on my damaged car.
Fortunately for me, my car must have had only little problems because its speed was good and agility when cornering not bad.
Since this point on my race has been oriented to turn at best as I could and doing so I caught up Martin again just at the entry point of Parabolica  and at finish I have been in 2nd place !  ;)

CanAm:
I had a very good Personal Best here also but like in GT I have not been able to get closer to it.
Just after the green flag I figured out to follow the 2 leaders Mark and Axel trying to discover how could I attack each one, but at Curva Grande Mark launched Axel in the space with a little touch beside so I have got a gift, the 2nd place. Mark was a little wobbling during the initial 2 laps so during one of his slowing down I reached his slipstream and I passed him before Curva Grande at lap 3 and from this point on, it was a lone riding watching on pribluda for the gaps of Mark and Dean until the last 2 laps. Without any reason my car has become difficult to drive at the point that during the last lap, just before crossing the finish line, my car has steered to the right, while I was attempting to maintain it straight turning the drive wheel on the opposite side. When I have seen nothing was happening, I braked hard, but this not avoided me to hit the armco at right side of track. I had to reset hoping that car could return drivable and...so it was but in the meantime Dean Logan was very fast and closer from 1 Km away. It seemed to me that he was very carefull close to me and don't know why, but I had not the time to figure out what was passing in his head and I only tried to keep my 1st place.
Mission accomplished !

See you at Lime rock !

The Canams were tidy until lap1 Parabolica where a number of us played in the sand having our own incidents. I recovered behind Fran who was very fast on the straights and very slow and wobbly in the corners. After a number of close shaves where it seemed to me that the door was open for a pass and then shut again, I was up the inside in CG with Fran wide, but he cut back across and I had to reset. A few laps later he was wide in and out of Lesmo2, so I went for the inside and he came back across again. In both cases I hadn't come alongside, but Fran if you had kept your line we would have been ok. As the following driver it's all my fault and if it was real life we would be dead, so I'm very sorry about that. A little later I blew the engine and requiring a second reset now knowing the rules, I retired rather than get a DQ again.

Yes i was a little in trouble into the curves with the Canam compared to others but also in the streight.
The Lola 260 gain speed at the end of the streight ,in the first part seem that the Ferrari have more acceleration.An error can happen during the race but the second at Lesmo, immediately after the first.........perhaps was better to be more careful.

I don't use Pribluda, as it wasn't available in 1967, and suggest you switch it off.

Nor were PC's, Windows and GPL  ;D

Thx for nice setup Cookie. Helps a lot ,could improve my lap time to 1-32-41.

Well, tyre pressure after 11laps very close to optimum : (should be 32psi or 220,8kpa )
LF  32,34psi or 223kpa
RF  33,79psi or 233kpa

LR  33,50psi or 231kpa
RR  32,48psi or 224kpa


BUT tyre temps still bit too far off optimum ( should be 261F°  or 127,2C° )

LF 224,6°F  244,4°F   224,6°F   107°C  118°C  107°C
RF 253,4°F  267,8°F  255,2°F           123°C  131°C  124°C

LR 219,2°F  233,6°F  217,4°F       104°C  112°C  103°C
RR 201,2°F  210,2°F  199,4°F              94°C    99°C   93°C


However, as its said optimum hot pressure is most important to have best grip , I am fine with.

BUT trouble to me is that pribluda  indicates an optimum tyre temp range from :
132,8°F up to 280,4°F         56°C up to 138°C

Something wrong with my pribluda? Or maybe ist just because pribluda cant handle cgt.exe.
Note the time pribluda was written GTmod wasn’t out.

Edit-1. Maybe useful to put my silly questions into an special thread , rather then crowding these thread here…

Edit-2    saying I don’t much like the GT`s brake behaviour , I wasn’t talking about that specific GTmod brake issue. Actually had forgotten it exists.lol.

Just seen the moderation for the Can Am race. I'm pretty sure I would have apologised on the night but just in case, sorry to Fabio and anyone else caught out by my start. Rather than over exuberance on the throttle pedal on my part I wonder if it had more to do with the std gearing I used rather than the longer 1st/2nd gears favoured by many at Monza. Regardless sorry again.

I had forgotten your move until I watched the replay...it WAS quite impressive actually!!  ;D
