Title: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Phil Thornton on May 15, 2018, 11:59:24 PM +0100 1955 Grand Prix - Round 1 – Spa-Francorchamps
The first race in the 1955 Grand Prix series takes us to Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. Designed in 1920 the original triangle-shaped course used public roads between the Belgian towns of Francorchamps, Malmedy, and Stavelot. The track was intended to have hosted its inaugural race in August 1921, however the first car race was held at the circuit in 1922. Spa was the fastest road circuit in Europe at the time, and it had a nasty reputation for being dangerous and very fast- it was a circuit known to be one for the brave, and most drivers were frightened of it. The old Spa circuit was unique in that speeds were consistently high with hardly any let-up at all for 3–4 minutes. This made it an extraordinarily difficult mental challenge (& ridiculously easy to crash). Carefully read the rules on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=639&theme=6). IP = 188.104.209.14
Please restrict chat to emergency messages only including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line. Password: see above (#post_event_password) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=639&theme=6) Handicapping and chassis allocation. This season the 1955 Grand Prix cars will be using a token system which allows drivers to purchase any chassis of their choice for a given number of tokens as published on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=639&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 table below. Given that this is the first race, all Professional drivers will be allocated 10 tokens and all Amateur drivers will be allocated 20 tokens. Available Tokens: Note: These are the tokens available to each driver before the 10 tokens are added for making the race start.

I will instruct Arnold and Mabel to warm the engine up and kick the tyres, just in case I can make it home and leap into the cockpit with shorts, T shirt and leather sandals ::) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: miner2049er on May 16, 2018, 12:29:47 PM +0100 .... just in case I can make it home and leap into the cockpit with shorts, T shirt and leather sandals ::) and socks.

But if you finish ahead of any of the Pro drivers in this race I will have to re-assign you as a Pro. I need to be fair to all the other Pro drivers.

However I accept my subjective view of driver ability is somewhat flawed. So I'll use an objective measure instead. Anyone finishing 6th or higher in Season 32 55GP will be assigned Professional status. That should be fair.Crivens!

Besides, if Silverstone is ever moderated it will probably put me 5th overall, due to my having started from the pits at Silverstone and actually finishing between Uli and yourself, but the current results still show me a lap down :( Not so sure about awsome either! "Not bad for his age!" might be nearer the mark.

My race computer is still there all ready to go, but negotiations for "playtime" are hard work ( unless there is something on TV that my wife really wants to watch, and I don't ). I have been trying to get the 55's to run on my laptop, just so that I can view replays and do moderations, whilst sitting in the one habitable room in the house. But although the mod appears to have loaded OK, I keep getting "could not load track" when I try and launch it........ It has just occurred to me that there are some default circuits that have to be included in the 55 season folder??? ::) ....................................................off to check that I have those in place!! edit...tracks all appear to be installed correctly.

We all knew that it would be something that I had done/not done correctly. ::) Almost completed the modding now just one race and one incident left to review. ;) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Clive Loynes on May 18, 2018, 05:22:21 PM +0100 Is there a practice server running at any time?

Well that was annoying. Running close in 3rd with Uli and Axel when Uli lost it at Burnenville and slid back across the track, Axel got through I didn't, lost a wheel, race over. >:( Shame felt really comfortable and was content to sit behind the two of them waiting for a mistake. Oh well. TTFN John. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Samb on May 20, 2018, 10:03:43 PM +0100 Binned it :-\. Need to find more time to practice I think.

in practice two time engine troubles, anyway in my third try close pole and after start it seemed fine but already in round two at the brunnenville I lost control :( could have been such a nice evening. :-\ cu next Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Cookie on May 20, 2018, 10:36:34 PM +0100 Yeah shame for the fun of this track, would have been great battle...
Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Clive Loynes on May 20, 2018, 10:56:24 PM +0100 I wasn't expecting brake problems here but my attempts to pass Fran must have used them more than I realised.
As a result I had to run off track to avoid hitting him at Les Combes. I went clean over the barrier and was staggered to find that the car was still running! But it wasn't well. The engine had lost half of its three-dead-rat-power and the steering was all over the place and giving nasty great kicks every few seconds. I thought that I would keep going in the hope that more of you would crash out but I have to say that you are a great disapointment to me! :P Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Cookie on May 20, 2018, 11:18:18 PM +0100 The results:

I know that Tim was somewhere on my flank but i was surprised to suddenly see his wheels entering into the curve.My reaction,to avoid an incident,was a shot on the wheel but this have caused the lost of control of the car.I was into the green but without mechanical consequences.Take note that i was with a Lancia and Tim with a Gordini(difference between the pilots). After this i have had a battle with Dean Logan.During the last lap,in the same place,Dean overtake me but go large into the curve,i tried to stay internal as possible(the speed don't allow better IMO) but Dean,obviously,try to re-enter and at this point the contact was done. Despite this 2 out of truck my race was not so bad but,until now,i'm quite happy to have strongly reduced the engine explosion thanks to the new pedals. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: EvilClive on May 21, 2018, 09:16:33 AM +0100 I thought that I would keep going in the hope that more of you would crash out but I have to say that you are a great disapointment to me! :P I must have got the message on a late pit board Clive, so I threw it at the scenery on the final corner of the last lap in a ball of flames, to try and promote your finish by one place. That is the sort of gentleman I am.................maybe ::) Got home in time to join the race to find that Arnold and Mable had the Lancia warmed up and ready to go. Seemed a little expensive on tokens, but what the heck! Qually on full tanks put me in 4th place but I was still tweaking gear ratios when it ended and then discovered that my wheel and pedals went limp!! I tried to re-calibrate whilst the last few drivers completed their final Q laps and thought that I might just about have saved my race....until I got on the grid. The pedals were working again, but the wheel was 45 deg off centre!!! but at least it did turn the front wheels. Eau Rouge was a real challenge from the start when I discovered that not only was the wheel off centre but the FF was screwed too :scared: :scared:. Lap 1 was a learning curve as I tried to adapt to the strange controls, but I stayed in touch with the learning trio...I did not dare get too close with a car that was twitchy as heck in the corners. Then Uli and John had their contretemps I was up to second but already aware of Bastian gaining ground in his Merc. When he caught me I allowed him an easy pass and tucked into the slipstream, hoping he might tow me up to Axel. But Axel had things under control ( which was more than I could claim!!) and gradually eased away up front, but I felt there might just be a chance of sneaking second if I could make a good pass on Bastian near the end. I tried a few dummy passes with around 6 laps to go and settled down to watch and wait. A half chance with 2 laps to go sucked me into trying to take 2nd spot. I although I pulled approx 150mtr lead at one point it was a lap too early and Bastian caught me on the final lap and retook the place. There was one last chance if I could outbrake him into La Source, but I needed to stay close out of Blanchimont. Well I was close, and I might have gone for last of the demon brakers award................... but putting a wheel on the grass and nailing the gas combined with a dodgy steering and wierd FF caused me to lose control in spectacular fashion. The car flipped from one side of the track to the other,hit a pylon to rip wheels off, I think I avoided Bastian who was braking conventionally for La Source and passed him whilst upside down, before ending it all in a fireball against the barriers......just 200mtrs from the flag. Hero to Zero in 3 seconds ::) :-\ Grats to Axel on the win and thanks to Bastian for some great racing. Apologies to Clive Loynes for making my charitable gesture too late to benefit him ;) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: fpolicardi on May 21, 2018, 12:34:59 PM +0100 Well, my debut with 55 cars wasn't the best ::)
First thing I have to complain about mass chatting in qualy about Reset. Please read the race post, moderators commit time to write it, and chat it supposed to use by moderators for important info ;) I found a comfortable 5th place on the grid with the Fezza, but during qualy I found the big draft effect when following a car that I hadn't experienced practicing offline alone, so I had to optimize the gear ratios to not blew the engine. Start and first lap was good with Bastian passing me running down to Stavelot, but on lap 2 I was shocked by the crash ahead at Burneville that leaved John's Merc stopped on the race line and everybody managed to pass around on grass inside without crashing, so thinking to the luck just gifted and following Bastian on the run to Masta I was caught off by the greater speed I had approaching the esse and didn't slow down enough to negotiate the first kink and hit the outside rail rebounding on fire across the track and ending on the rail path outside, luckily no one was involved and no train passed to end me ;D I had spent all day trekking on the mountains and I was rather tired so my reflexes weren't good and I packed it to have a early dinner and a good white wine glass to cheer at my crash ;D Next one! Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Phil Thornton on May 21, 2018, 09:48:07 PM +0100 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.

I was watching that awaitung you attack and moved to the rigth side so that you only hit me left wheels and luckily i could go on to la source unhurt. Now i understand your crazy moves with an off-center wheel ;) Grats to unbeatable axel! Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Phil Thornton on May 21, 2018, 11:28:47 PM +0100 There was an error in the results of S32 55GP R10 at Silverstone. Clive Loynes had a lap dropped by the server. This has now been corrected which effectively promotes Clive up to 5th position in S32. Clive has pointed out that this effectively makes him a Pro and makes Bastian an Am (only the top 6 in S32 are designated as Pro drivers). Thanks to Clive for being so honest. Available tokens for Round 2 have been updated.

After some discussion I decided that the fairest way to assign Pro status was simply to make the top 6 in the S32 55GP Pro drivers.

Clive Loynes had a lap dropped by the server. This has now been corrected which effectively promotes Clive up to 5th position in S32. Clive has pointed out that this effectively makes him a Pro and makes Bastian an Am (only the top 6 in S32 are designated as Pro drivers). Thanks to Clive for being so honest. Available tokens for Round 2 have been updated. Now that you have the completed results from last season I would have thought that you could safely draw the line at anyone better than 8th to be PRO. I think that you could also add anyone who scored a podium finish in any of the races. This would cover the "handicap bandits" who didn't do many races. To me, there are anomalies in the rest of the list. From where I usually sit in the pecking order, and an observation of who is usually in front of me, I would have said that Axel, Uli, Will, Carlos and Fulvio should also be PRO. Probably Jeep too. ;-) Not that it makes a ha'p'orth of difference once we are under way.

I got a time out. 60fpsV2newmod? You can see your IP here on the bottom right ;) I think that the problem may have been that the server was still set to Trainer car type. :oops: Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1955 Grand Prix - Spa - May 20 Post by: Phil Thornton on May 22, 2018, 11:00:12 PM +0100 Now that you have the completed results from last season I would have thought that you could safely draw the line at anyone better than 8th to be PRO.

Apart from ba55n Spa is the only track I've actually driven the 55's at and there isn't really any excuse for being slow in the Merc around there. ;) But if I'm promoted to Pro I really have no issues, I'm here for the women & Beer. :D TTFN John.

Consequently some drivers have had their available tokens for the next round reduced. Please check this post (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=14958.msg272778#msg272778). Hopefully everyone is OK with the changes. I don't want any disgruntled drivers, we are here to have fun.
