The open 67 FUN RACE will be at the new challenging SPA67 in Belgium.


The race will be run under INT rules and you have free car choice  ;D
You can do 2x shift+r but each has to be followed by a stop and go in the pits!

We will use the 60fpsV2newmod (ftp://ukgpl3.dyndns.org/Replays/Archive/Season27/60fps/).
The lightest track version + lite pack should be used with weaker PCs

Have FUN!

just a teaser (https://www.sendspace.com/file/80kjqp), have FUN!

I have 4 players for video, and none which can play this video.  I usually have no problems playing videos of GPL racing.  So, a nice idea, but a waste of time for some of us.

maybe your download is corrupt...

I did test the dl and it works with MPC-hc

Andreas continues to make a Server for the next races - no-one joins.  I may be the only voice to have said he has a problem.  You may continue to make video that some or all cannot see.  The choice is yours.

Just downloaded it and played it with VLC-Mediaplayer. Everything was fine!
About my Server: Had finally enough time to look at the problem. Yesterday I found the solution. Was just 1 Number wrong in the Router, so the people who wished to join where leading to my Smartphone.  ;D No wonder that it not worked.  :D
But now it works again, Lestyn joined yesterday with success . So everyone is welcome again to join in the future!

Downloaded this morning & also worked ok for me with vlcplayer.

Cheers,
Dave.

Good news Andreas!  It makes drivers unhappy to find a Server that gives no race.

Glad also to give Cookie some feedback, as this does not always happen.  The video works for some.  Safest is any video that plays on Windows Media player, and newest codecs are not always best for viewing. :thumbup1:

Hehe, the captured avi was 8GB - and the best quality+compression gives mp4 atm.
Maybe you need to dl the free LAV codecs (https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases)...

Maybe you should give instructions when posting video that might be interesting, to guys who need to wind up their computers clockwork springs every week! ( I will not be at Spa for this reason. ) Some may not want to add stuff that is used for viewing 1 video only. :hammer:

I only upgraded from XP to Win7 recently! :)

Qualified last - 8 seconds adrift.  I got the track last week, and it's pretty tricky.  There was some big pile up on L1 on the Kemmel "straight" and I dodged everyone, ending up possibly 2nd!  I knew it wouldn't last, obviously.  I was steadily overtaken by everyone.  Crashed once at Stavelot.  Couple of laps later crashed again at the same place, and called it a day.  Whilst Spa is great for practising, when racing you can find yourself all alone for much of a race.

That was mine (getting stutters at top of hill). Sorry to all who were involved.  :-[

Fun stuff, otherwise. Nice last lap pass with close to zero room by PB cost me a podium.

I had problems with the keyboard so I could not give the "SC" message when Greg slowed down to get the grid together.
Next time we can try this if the distances are too big.
We did it with Groundhog, scheduled, after half distance and it was a good feature for close racing.

Is the same track with 69X for next Sunday ok, or better Monza?

Monza,also to change.

Mostly joined to see if my steering wheel would start misbehaving again;   but probably did not spend enough time out there!

Could just about manage to complete 1x outlap in qually;  so took rightful place at the start from the back row with no posted time.  [with this bunch. would have been there anyway].

Was pleased to have noticed the initial pile-up taking shape & apparent masterful avoidance [slow down/peek through fingers].  Then just drove off the track, bounced back & probably caused an even bigger pile-up.  Not looked back it it;  so apologies for that anyway.

Then some lonely running; another reset required then that was it;  all way before half distance.
Maybe should have taken the Honda after all.  Still; early pint for a Sunday evening.

Wherever the next fun meets are;  hopefully some other heavies/ams/privs will make an appearance.

Cheers all,
Dave.

I agree. :)
