The Can-Am ‘71 Historical Add-on is released today!!! :clap: http://srmz.net/index.php?s=21400b74db7c30157d1ad3d9be5a3208&showtopic=10014 BUT Please do not use this Add-on for tomorrows CanAm71 race to avoid any troubles! I will not install this Add-on to the server before this race! I have no problem with this Add-on, but it is a too short time to test it with clients of both versions on the server.

I hope to be back in time from work for at least the Can-Am race, perhaps both races. Either way, here is a Ferrari 712 setup I made from a Greger Huttu Lotus setup. I find the Can-Am's particularly difficult to drive, so I've set the car up so it's relatively easy to drive. Hopefully it works for you too :) . Here it is: www.grandprixlegends.co.nf/files/TvO_LeMans_30586_F712.he1 Place the file in the ...\Sierra\GPL\players\your 1971 Can-Am player\setups\nbsarthe folder. Tommie. P.S. Take a look at my new site http://www.grandprixlegends.co.nf/ :) . I've also reuploaded the GPLEA site, you can find it in the navigation bar on the left.

There should be a folder therein, with more friendly online skins, wherein better framerates may lie . . . . wherein to wear out. And shake it all about! :wacko:

Telegraph poles like Mclarens. :'( So how did it feel in your car, Dave, sitting there dazed after your crash, watching me hit the pole, get vaulted into the air, spinning slowly, all quiet, only to land *right* ontop of you? :laugh: If you want a laugh, watch that sequence of the rpy. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - Le Mans - May 30 Post by: Walter Conn on May 30, 2014, 10:45:04 PM +0100 Ouch, sorry about my bad driving. The telegraph pole jumped out in front of my car. The phrase, "One mistake can kill" comes to mind. I'll watch the replay to hopefully learn a lesson from it.
Cheers, Walter Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - Le Mans - May 30 Post by: Mark Jones on May 31, 2014, 05:41:43 AM +0100 Big apologies to Dean and Axel for two different incidents. I just got caught out under braking. Put me back, and then I got roughed up a bit. :wacko: Such a shame because I was looking forward to the GT race all week long and I went and buggered it up. MK2 Ford was feeling pretty good, too. The Can-Ams was tough. I think the McLaren had something for the Ferraris but I couldn't do a clean qualifying lap, and just drove to survive the race. Basically I think we need to spend much more time at this track :)
Grats to Axel and Martin! Title: Re: UKGPL Season 26 (2014) Friday Trophy - Le Mans - May 30 Post by: Ronniepeterson on May 31, 2014, 10:44:19 AM +0100 Nice one Martin 8)

My car lacked sufficient speed in race 1. A spot of beach combing and motor disassembly leaving me last in a hurry. The car was happier on its own, though I was not! :-\ Race 2 handicap was a lot kinder, and I sat watching a great scrap for the lead. The break came when the duelling duo discovered my frames dropped, at the Mulsanne kink, and I was able to cruise the remaining laps to the finish. It's great to have a win, which I dedicate to the cars original owner. :laugh: |
