Season 32 Historic Trophy – Round 2 - Rouen

The second race in the Historic series takes us to Rouen in France.  From its opening in 1950, Rouen-Les-Essarts was recognized as one of Europe's finest circuits, with modern pits, a wide track, and spectator grandstands. The circuit (which ran on public roads) had a few medium straights, a cobbled hairpin turn (Nouveau Monde) at the southernmost tip, and a few blind corners through a wooded hillside. The appeal was greatly enhanced by the climb from Nouveau Monde at 56 metres to Gresil at 149 metres.

Driver lists and divisional rules can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=618&theme=6)

Only reported incidents will be moderated, there is no Red Zone.

Handicapping and chassis allocation.
This season the Historics will be using a token system which allows drivers to purchase any chassis of their choice, 2 litre or 3 litre, for a given number of tokens as published on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=618&theme=6). Drivers classed as Amateurs will be allocated an additional 10 tokens.  The token allocation will not be managed in SRou this season so (unlike the 67F1 Works and 67F1 Privateer divisions) the tokens available to each driver will not appear in the championship table (when the mouse pointer is hovered over the driver's total).  Rather, the available tokens will be published in the race announcement.  See below.

Available Tokens:
Note: These are the tokens available to each driver before the 10 tokens are added for making the race start.

UKGPL9 will be running up overnight for practice. I've completely re-done the port forwarding which I think was the culprit. Extensive logging is in place. We shall see...

Works for me Jethro, no problem to join.

I have my new Linux server running, seems to work fine, I will host the next GT race with it.

Hi all,

i got a problem on IGOR:

it says when starting from GEM: "Last GPL Player name cannot be found..." but starts Igor Anyway.
When trying to join the server, there is a pop up "EAccessVialotion", and Igor quits.

I already reinstalled GEM, no change but new message: Access violation at adress 005b52d3 in module igor.exe

(I didnt change players at all)

Great news Axel.  Hope you've settled in to your new house and Mrs Cookie is very happy ;)

Can you join UKGPL_9 directly from GPL Multiplayer window?  If you can it will be a workaround for tonight.  But I don't know how to actually fix your problem.

can you tell me the IP please ?

igor sims to be down !
 :-\

UKGPL9 is still running, at 185.61.88.132, if you join via IP direct from GPL.

We will be using UKGPL_4 for the race tonight.  IGOR does appear to be down so I've started it as a server from GPL.  So it should be possible for everyone to join via GPL multiplayer window, the IP address is 2.24.206.249
If IGOR doesn't get fixed we'll have to try this method tonight.

I've just tried to join UKGPL9 direct, but I got time out as last week.
Ciao

That's good news here, as I'm still timing out on 9. :(

I can join UKGPL4 direct. One note: pole sitter is too far ahead on the grid and doesn't see flagman.
Thx

OK.  I'll fix that.  Pleased to see you could join.

I can't join UKGPL_4, get a timeout message...

Do You use a PW?

I've shut practice server down.  Starting UKGPL_4 as Race server now

OK UKGPL_4 is up as race server with race password.

Please try to connect via direct via GPL (not IGOR) IP address is 2.24.206.249

well I have to thx Isachini for his fair behaviour..... thank you again mate, whith sutch race  , is fun garanty !

He's a certified moron.  Wrecked me out of P4.  Grrr...

in third position at lap five i tested the podium but ,as usual,the engine abbandoned me.

Have you saw replay before to write? I saw mine replay and I see my car rest large and in line while your car moves to me
But I wait official replay of course

@Dony
thanks for compliment..

I've loaded the chassis the drivers used into the token calculator spreadsheet.  For the next race the available tokens will be as declared in the table below (the table will also appear in the next race announcement).  The calculated values are automated but selecting the cars is a manual process so please check your tokens to make sure I haven't made a silly error.  There was no token overspend for this round so no one is disqualified.

Available Tokens:
Note: These are the tokens available to each driver before the 10 tokens are added for making the race start.

Hope the server was OK tonight gents.  This was the first time I have ever set off a League Race from the UKGPL client.

Replay server is down.  If it is up tomorrow I will upload the server replay.

Was fine after I could join. I joined almost immediately after you set it up, then went back to igor to let others know it was up and i could join.

And... then I couldn't  :o. Kept timing out despite having just joined  ???. And kept timing out  :-X.

Last chance desperation full system reboot clean launch and I managed to join.

Replays available at UKGPL9 (ftp://[email protected]:32122).

There does appear to be a lot of people experiencing difficulty connecting these days but I'm not sure why.  I've not changed the port forwarding on my router for years.

Last night in my rush to setup the server without IGOR I forgot to update the core.ini settings for bandwidth.  Instead of setting it to client 5/84 server 5/384  it was set to client 3/84 server 3/132  I realised imediately after I'd started the race but I decided to leave it because restarting the server without IGOR chat to explain what I was doing would have caused massive confusion.  Thankfully it looks like there were no lag or warp issues or was there?

Joining the server from GPL worked fine.

But i am still ill, after figthing for second i got more and more pain in the back, finally spun off and lost a wheel.

Sorry to hear that, hope you get better soon!

Sounds ugly, Bas.  Get well soon, bud.

Phil...  Would you check my token count, svp?  By my math, I have 25 after RA.

Edit: Sorry.  Getting a little ahead of myself here.  Wrong thread.

Doni
If you want to check I've got it right, the spreadsheet I use is here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NBVz-6zhtTxl0tZ9MtQtiCApP4__TiLJvS-Cocoii-E).
I'm pretty sure the calculation aspects of the spreadsheet are OK.  If there is a problem its probably because I've selected the wrong chassis.  Happy for you to check and advise.  I'm trying to keep the spreadsheet up to date and correct but I'm not infallible.  A second, third or fourth pair of eyes can only be good  ;)
Cheers
Phil

thx. it gets better but still im not at 100%

hi Phil :) .....what about the moderation of Rouen ?

Hi Tristan
I'm planning to catch up with the moderating over the Christmas break. Sorry I've been a bit slow but real life has been a bit hectic. We should be up to date before the next race.   ;)
