Title: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - VIR - Apr 11 Post by: EvilClive on April 08, 2014, 10:30:05 PM +0100 Although the Road Ontario track is awesome to drive, several members have reported problems offline. So this series of 4 races is switching to a similar circuit... Virginia International Raceway (VIR)
Just like Road Ontario, VIR has a mixture of tight corners and wide sweeping fast sections. It is also quite wide and allows plenty of room for passing Race List = IGOR Server = tba IP address = tba Race date = 11-04-2014 Race Time = race starts at 21:05 UK time Qualifying Time = Between 20 starting no later than 20.45 UK time Track = Papyrus original Variant = F2 and 69x Damage Model = inter Race length = 20 minutes (laps F2 14 C69x16 ) Password: see above (#post_event_password) Heavies Lights F2's Free Choice Ferrari, Bt14 and Cooper 69x Free Choice Lot49, Lot 63, BT20, BT24, Cooper T86B, Eagle AAR101 PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF CIRCUIT.THESE RACES WILL BE RUN AT VIR Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - VIR - Apr 11 Post by: dave curtis on April 08, 2014, 10:48:55 PM +0100 Good timing on the committee decision, as this may be my practice evening! (Or rather, what's left of it!)
At least I've been to VIR now. Not that it will help much of course! There again, heavy eyes are getting heavier. Maybe working from home tomorrow will permit a lunchtime session... At least the setups are already done ;) Cheers, Dave.

Tried to keep from running into back of you, only to side-side hit :(.
Fun stuff otherwise. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - VIR - Apr 11 Post by: Cookie on April 12, 2014, 10:37:03 AM +0100 NP Dean, you had avoided several possible crashes before ;)
Yeah, this track provides great racing! Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - VIR - Apr 11 Post by: maddog on April 12, 2014, 10:56:31 AM +0100 What is the purpose of purple? There must be a purple purpose. It's a right royal mystery! :blink:

It's a right royal mystery! :blink: It would seem to indicate entry to the SROU lap record hall of fame! (Presumably in class, or because BT14 is marked as 'unknown'. It's certainly unknown to me anyway!) https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&location=140&circuit=247 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&location=140&circuit=247) Cheers, Dave.

site being iffy for me as well. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - VIR - Apr 11 Post by: GregT on April 12, 2014, 06:20:47 PM +0100 Congratulations Axel, Tommie, Dave C, Mark, and Dean! Excellent job in the BT14 Tom.
Access to this Site has recently become very slow - it's unbecoming. :-\ I've been getting the same thing for over a week. :( no discos or dnfs, nice to see. GPL locked up at the end of qualifying for me in the 69's. I didn't have enough time to get back in the race before it started. I kept driving after I crossed the line for the final time. I guess I should have stopped like I usually do. I needed more practice. I got about 30 minutes in each car before qualifying started. First time I've driven this track. Thanks guys. It was fun while it lasted. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - VIR - Apr 11 Post by: clouds on April 28, 2014, 06:36:47 PM +0100 Is anybody here that knows something about VIR for GT's and CanAm's ?
Thanks Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - VIR - Apr 11 Post by: DLogan on June 03, 2014, 08:50:45 PM +0100 Sorry to Cookie for tap lap 2 in 69 race. Tried to keep from running into back of you, only to side-side hit :(... NP Dean, you had avoided several possible crashes before ;)... And that would have been a great opportunity to apologize for taking me out of the lead in race 1. Just sayin'. ::) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - VIR - Apr 11 Post by: Cookie on June 04, 2014, 12:44:33 AM +0100 And that would have been a great opportunity to apologize for taking me out of the lead in race 1. Just sayin'. ::) You realy seem to be in a bad temper atm... Have you looked at the situation from different POVs? I tried everything to avoid your spinning car! I had lifted from the moment I recognized your going sideways... Let others decide whos fault, I am tired of this ... !

Maybe I get a warning too ::) I do not mod pros!

That was me Dean and I will end up modding this one in all probability in that Cookie will not mod his own incidents. We do try and be consistent but since moderation is necessarily subjective, it can be quite difficult. Mods also have their own 'style' which causes confusion and consternation. |
