Title: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: Billy Nobrakes on September 01, 2018, 09:11:21 PM +0100 Season 33 Graduates Cup – Round 9 – Bremgarten
Bremgarten was built as a motor cycle track in 1931 to the north of Bern. The circuit itself had no true straight, instead being a collection of high-speed corners. From the outset, it’s tree-lined roads, often poor light conditions and changes in road surface made for what was acknowledged to be a very dangerous circuit, especially in the wet. Bremgarten has not hosted an official motorsports event since 1955, when spectator racing sports were banned in Switzerland. The basic download has fairly poor graphics qualify but there is very good upgrade in SRMZ. The registrations for this seasons Graduates Cup are not sufficient to support separate grids. Therefore, both Works & Privateers drivers will participate on the same grid. All drivers have the same tokens allocations. We will, however, run two championships, & separate points will be scored for each. A Privateer may finish the actual race 5th, but still win the Privateers race. The race will be moderated as a combined grid. Privateers are asked not to hold up a Works driver whilst being lapped, but you may race fairly for track position. The important difference is that Privateers are permitted one reset with a compulsory Stop & Go (taken within two laps). Although the race setting is “Intermediate” Works drivers are not allowed to take a reset.

Privateer Drivers are permitted 1 Shift R followed by a Stop & Go in the pit lane within 2 laps. Failure to make a stop will result in a 30 second time penalty. If you require a stop & go on the final lap & are unable to complete a time penalty of 15 secs is added. Please restrict chat to pit messages including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: Jeep on September 02, 2018, 09:59:00 PM +0100 Well, from my point of view you didn't miss much. :( I eventually got in after I don't know how many attempts only to find I had no set up only default available. :( Cobbled something together to the best of my memory and qualified 5th (I think). 1st few laps were ok, then I clipped the right hand curb on the run down to T1 while alongside Andreas and ended up hitting the fence spinning up the bank before managing to rejoin but it was apparent something was seriously wrong with my already dubious setup. Couldn't get it to turn right anymore and hit the same fence a lap or so later and went up the same bit of banking. I was already hitting esc to end my misery while sailing through the air. Eventually landed back on track and stopped. Tried to esc again but didn't manage it before being hit by someone. (Sorry). :(
Kinda glad to have ended early, I don't like this circuit at all. Not really a race track more a scary drive through the woods with little chance of any proper racing. A challenge yes but race track I don't think so. TTFN John. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: DLogan on September 02, 2018, 09:59:13 PM +0100 Still with the heat and humidity causing hand slippage here, evidenced by some of the non-fights I put up. :(
Ended in the bales, after many many minor scrapes and bumps. Bastian was leading when I quit! :D Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: Cookie on September 02, 2018, 10:09:09 PM +0100 Nothing to do for me ,always bandwidth mismatch. Fran you have to let the server overwrite these settings!Yes a hard to survive track... Good to make some tokens ;D Sorry, the last weeks it allways worked with iGOR, so I did not write the IP...

well done Bill ....the chalenge was at least to finish the race ;) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: Pepe Higdon on September 02, 2018, 10:49:02 PM +0100 I have missed the entire season to date but did want to show up for at least the last two races on the off chance I might be invited back for season #34. I'd never seen Bremgarten before and really didn't have much of a chance to practice except for the last couple of days. An hour or so before qualifying began I was managing consistent 2:15s and an occasional 2:14. I wasn't entirely comfortable --- the track is like an ax murderer waiting in a dark alley for you to pass by --- but I felt I had a fighting chance not to embarrass myself completely.
Was I ever mistaken about that! In my first qualifying lap I did a 2:18. After that all sense of where I was and what I was doing escaped me altogether. It was as if I had been playing GPL for all of 20 minutes. Each lap was worse than the last. By the end of qualifying that first ugly lap from a standing start had been my best. Good Lord! I seriously thought about giving up at that point, mainly because the way I was driving was so incompetent and so inept that I was certain to take out every car that had the misfortune to cross my path. But qualifying in the rear meant that at least for a while I wouldn't be much of a danger to anyone but myself, so I tried to calm myself with a couple of deep breaths. My race strategy consisted of simply slowing down and enjoying the view. I have no idea what my lap times were, but at least I was staying on the track and not hitting anything. Speed was an utter irrelevancy to me. All I desired was to finish, even if I had to do a SHFT-R with a SnG. It didn't matter. I just slugged along, as carefree as anyone can be at this deadly place. Around lap #3 the pit board showed that I was ahead of John Hammonds. Excuse me? In the three years I've been racing with John, I think I can count the number of times I've been ahead of him on the fingers of one finger. I ignored the information as some sort of aberration. When I could, I tried to take a peek at Pribluda, but my font is so small and the track is so demanding that I stopped bothering. The last time I passed by the pit board it advised that there were but eleven laps to go. I was overjoyed. For the first time I began to hope that I could truly finish the race without the assistance of an ambulance and a medical evacuation helicopter. Moments later I was coming up to the 2d gear right-hander before the underpass and my screen froze. This hasn't happened to me often, but I understood instantly that my visit to Switzerland was history. Pribluda seemed to indicate that there were perhaps only five cars still running, but I'm not sure of even that. I'd like to say that "all's well that ends well," but until the results are posted, I'm not sure even now how things ended. Anyway, it's off to Canada. It's ordinarily a tough track for me, but after Bremgarten, Mosport should seem like a walk in the park. :) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: DLogan on September 02, 2018, 11:00:14 PM +0100 engine let me down at 2.5 laps of the end.... Iwas leading ..... If it's any consolation, and it dang well should be, you just locked the season 33 championship, stationary or not. Grats. And grats to Bill for surviving! :thumbup: Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: francesco on September 03, 2018, 05:50:39 AM +0100 Quote Nothing to do for me ,always bandwidth mismatch. What do you mean Axel?The first attempt was with Igor but Norton antivurus have blocked(this Norton have broken my balls)Then i have disabled the firewall but Igor was gone so i done the other attempts with the game.There is some configuration into the file core.ini to change?Fran you have to let the server overwrite these settings! Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: francesco on September 03, 2018, 06:19:05 AM +0100 Into the core.ini i have this:
[ Communications ] disable_network = 0 alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 disable_ipx = 1 disable_modem = 0 The disable mod was 1 now i have changed to 0.Is correct? Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: EvilClive on September 03, 2018, 08:49:56 AM +0100 Well done Bill!!! Showed us all how to get to the finish ;)
Like John, I have never liked this circuit. Strange, because I do enjoy circuits that are a challenge...just not the challenge around here. It is as if the grip level is somewhere between oil and ice, and if you are not ultra careful and precise there is always a tree to wrap your car around. Given my qually time and race pace ( while it lasted!!) , I really should have cruised to the end. But I got bored and started trying to improve my PB as the fuel load lightened. Bad move, and those Swiss gremlins in the forest took the opportunity to rip a wheel off at the first opportunity. :-\ :-\!!! Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: Cookie on September 03, 2018, 08:55:25 AM +0100 Norton is one of the worst things you can have on your PC...
Here are my core.ini settings Code: [ Communications ] Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: francesco on September 03, 2018, 10:52:52 AM +0100 Thank you Axel,now i check.
Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: francesco on September 03, 2018, 02:48:00 PM +0100 Corrected the comunication but i don't have a so long file.For the comunication i have only the four written previous.All the other are the "rasterizer",open GL,int profile value and so on.I hope that is enough.
Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: francesco on September 03, 2018, 03:11:26 PM +0100 I have found a new version of core similar to your.Thank you.With the new installation any day i found a forgotten piece.
The only doubt is the replay memory overide,in the old core was 128000 now is 50000.Which one is better? Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: Cookie on September 03, 2018, 04:28:07 PM +0100 128000, if you have new PC with good RAM!
I start a training server with Spa67 for 65s now, so you can test it ;) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Bremgarten - Sep 2 Post by: Billy Nobrakes on September 03, 2018, 06:45:52 PM +0100 Considering I almost did not bother because IGOR was down & I wasn't sure about the IP address, that was a highly unexpected result. The track is difficult but no worse than, say, Nurburgring and you are round in a couple of minutes. Very unfortunate for those that suffered a screen freeze. I have to thank the track, internet connections & a fairly robust Ferrari chassis for my first win in a 67 series. I will gladly take that.
