Real life intervened just before the start which was unfortunate. Good luck to those that managed to start  ::).

Doni, not a good idea to wait after the crash, as the replay shows me it was not only your fault,
we are both moving to the middle but I do more!
Seems I expected you to keep a closer line...

But it was a great fair race! You had deserved to win!

Now we have to gratulate Ray and Roo  :D

I was having a great race when suddenly I was gifted 2 positions :D
I would have finished a happy 4th after a race like that anyway, it was good fun with Ronnie after he finally caught me up :)

Grats all, thanks admins

With the help of Lady Luck (that would be Axel and Doni  :laugh:) I got the win.

With pole, a good start and Tris giving me the run down to the bomb hole, I thought this might be my night. But then my engine went pop in the hole and I thought its race over.

Somewhere near the back of the pack after a shift-r and pit stop I simply drove as hard as I could to get back to the front and it paid off. Hard work but great fun catching and racing with Roo.

Commiserations to Doni, Axel and Tris for that matter (what happened?) but I was going to catch you all anyway, in my dreams  8)

LOL, Ray!  I can just bet that your dreams of victory evaporated with great rapidity when that engine failed and you pitted after the reset.  Pays to never give up!  Great job and congrats.  I notice, too, that with Tris' DNF, you're still in the hunt for the F2 crown.  May the better man win!  :)

Quite gutted at my ultimate fortunes not for losing out on a chance of a win or a certain P2 but rather for shunting Axel off.  Dear me...  I'll take a minimum of 60% of the root cause as the replay(server & my own)show that I did drift slightly to the right and the resultant collision with Axel had him promptly off the road and inverted.  So very sorry for that, Cookie, as I know that you haven't been feeling well of late and to see you fiercely racing again as we all know you can was a real delight.  Pleased, at least, to see that you could recover and score a useful P3.  The racing action with you was a real treat.  As for checking up and waiting for you, in truth, my race ended right there and my enthusiasm level went from 100 to zero.

Grats as well to Roo for running P3 for ages and nabbing a handy P2.  Well done.

This crazy track grows on you.  Accepting that it delivers some wild features and coping with them is rather satisfying once you make allowances for them.

Difficult Race after aniversary update from Microsoft, didn't work at all for GPL Racer and for this race I managed to get gpl work again but without pribluda, which was quite bad for me, had contact with a car at the start, maybe Carlos, sorry. Later I crashed over the banking ;(

Hi :)
Saturday, in training, I do 1.36.00 whith the Proto, so I was very confident for the race....but, since the begening of the qualifs, something don't work normaly....I push as I can but in the end I am 1.5s from my PB !!?.... ok it's the first line but I'm not shure of what's will happend ...I hope the slipstream will help me whith full fuel .....but....anyway I spinn just before the hairpin in the first lap and Axel can't avoid me ...I restart 5 in front of Ronnie ....but one lap later, at the breaking point of the long straight before the big bump I do a fatal shifter error finding neutral ...and I finish in one glue ball :/ ....have to do shift-r and pit stop... and lost 2 places...I am behind Carlos and I push as I can to get the contact ....but I go to the fault and my car is toutch !!...can't drive normaly.....I have just to retire....
for shure my trottle don't work normaly,( as you can see on the reaplay, the trottle don't go up normaly ! ) I have to clean it up soon...the best will be a new one ;)
...Well done Ronnie and podium....cua next one :)

I also had problems with the Win 10 anniversary update a while ago.

Open GL is simply not supported by the new build of Win 10. I could get gpl to work with Direct 3D but not with pribluda how I like it.

Therefore I simply rolled back to the previous build of Win 10 and all is fine with open GL and Pribluda running as normal in gpl. Good luck.

Bastian have you tried the pribludav1121 (https://www.sendspace.com/file/muev4j) of BRR,
a version with an "enablepribluda.xml" file to put in Gplsecrets/GEM+/Options folder,
leave your Grand Prix Legends.exe unpatched and tick/untick the option in  GEM+.

I was wondering these days and i now believe I had both pribluda versions running...i will make same tries on sunday getting it work but
there are no people at srmz who couldn't fix there luda problems so I'm not that optimisitc. thx for your advices

I updated from 1.1.2.0 to 1.1.2.1 but it didn't work on opengl v2 or direct 3d  v2 and also not when tried separtly with the fixed exe or Gem Option.

I hav the choice tonite driving without pibluda or switiching back to the old laptop which had a bluescreen on tuesday....it's hard when you have gotten used to pribluda.
