I am looking forward to this championship. I don't know if it could possibly be more competitive than the last season.

Hi Robert .... links to tracks here not working, i know its not a problem because we can search for tracks, but newbies might not. As i last season had lots of discos Maddog suggested lite tracks can i just delete my normal track folder from tracks and replace with lite or is there more to it?

Hi Walter yes last season had some excellent drivers, voted for 75% or more so hope to attend all races.

Cheers Rog, UKGPL3 seems to be down or not accessible for the last week. I hope it will be back up soon! ;)

Otherwise we have to link through GPL Trackbase (http://gpltd.bcsims.com/?menu=Advanced).

Hi Rog - lite tracks aren't all the same.  Some come as a complete track, while some arrive as addons to install over a heavy version.  Hopefully a readme will tell you what to do. 

There are extreme tracks, where several options are available, such as Brands67.  Lower Res. and fewer colour options are good for Online.  Fewer track objects might be Ok, if you remain happy with which pedal to use, and where.  GL.  ;)

Hi Maddog thanks for reply and advise on tracks.

Is anybody running a practise server tonight?

I want to try some of the tracks online with a new install.

I am trying to get some stuff sorted at home. Change of job, kids off to University, change of broadband supplier...

UKGPL3 has never been down but for some reason it is not visible to the outside world. I will try and get it going again.

As for the racing, I might just see if the wheel still works.

Good to hear from you again Paul. You have been missed.

Once all of the ducks are aligned ( and fed) we hope to see you back on track  :) :) :)

Great to hear from you Paul. Take care, and hopefully see you at the tracks again! You've been registered :)

nice to hear from you Paul, hope to see you on track!

Hopefully the track links are working BT stuffed me up GOOD AND PROPER!!!

It may be a while until I am out on track as I have a LOT of catching up to do. Nice to be back.

Welcome back!

Good to hear from you Paul. Hope to see you on track shortly  :).
