Title: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) - Brands Hatch - Oct 14
Post by: Billy Nobrakes on October 09, 2018, 10:55:02 PM +0100
Season 33 Extra – Round 1 –  Brands Hatch

Season 33 Extra will be an unofficial championship of 8 races over the next few weeks using the original 1967 mod. We start things off at Brands Hatch which at one time rivalled Silverstone for hosting the British Grand Prix. No registration required & the series is open to all comers.

This will be run as mixed grid. There is a free choice of chassis, although Pro drivers should not takethe Lotus or the Eagle. Points will be scored according to the traditional method of 9 for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, 3 for 4th, 2 for 5th & 1 for 6th. The series moderator will publish a table of results.

Have fun, but please observe GPL rules & driving standards.

@Clive
You can see the track records on top, but I think better than 1:36 is pro...

Cookie,

Are you hosting the race on VROC. IGOR is down at the moment?


Title: Re: UKGPL Season 33 (2018) - Brands Hatch - Oct 14
Post by: Cookie on October 14, 2018, 09:58:58 AM +0100
Yes on VROC as igor is still down!

everybody should make a test and join the training server as it is not as easy as iGOR.

Sometimes just a "reconnect" helps when the acces is denied at the first time...

I've dug out a Brabham setup from the dusty depths of my pc and I quite like it.  ;D

It said it was "fast01" but I can't remember where they came from.

It's might just a qually/hot lap setup as after a few laps I find that I have overheated the left rear.  Is this just my right foot that is the problem or might I be able to make it better by softening the back end?  I don't wan't to lose the way that it turns in though!  ;-)

I would first try to change the diff a bit...

What are the settings ?

New rig works (obv) but needs a lot of tweaking, mostly the FF. Two seconds off my regular Brab pace around here, and clumsy at that, lost its shine after half dozen laps. Sorrys to anyone caught by one of my "moments".

After a million spins I gave in with about five laps to go.

Apologies to anyone distracted by my awful connection. :( Everythng was smooth as silk during qualifying and just before the flag dropped everyone started disappearing (So obviously a problem on my end). I figured I would see if it improved in the opening laps and retire if it didn't. But then everyone started throwing their cars at the scenery and the field thinned out so I followed Cookie for a while and after he spun out at Paddock hill bend I was running alone with Jonny a few 100yds up the road and Pelle the same distance behind.

A mostly uneventful race from my end. Had 1 spin at Hawthorns a few laps from the flag but other than that kept it ion the black stuff and cruised home in 2nd.

TTFN
John.

Resets are available.
Apart from some silly spins it turned out to be a good event. Championship table to follow. Next race post will go up shortly but if you want to know, it will be Monza.
