"Expect to enter less than 75% of races"

That was my choice since there was no choice, "Don't expect less than 75% or more than 0%". Any other season I enter will be the same, I may drive every, none, or some of the races.


Title: Re: Season 38 1967 F1 Grand Prix - Registration
Post by: Phil Thornton on December 29, 2020, 10:54:10 PM +0000
The 75% is a bit arbitrary but it is the question we've always asked ever since I joined UKGPL (a few years ago now  ;) ). It just helps us judge whether or not a single server will be sufficient.

Hello everyone and a happy new year!

I have a question regarding the pit stops. In case I want to use the pit stop patch witch version do I have to use? 1.0; 2.0 or 2.02?


Title: Re: Season 38 1967 F1 Grand Prix - Registration
Post by: Phil Thornton on January 05, 2021, 04:45:06 PM +0000
Use 1.0. It doesn't have the tyre wear simulated. See here (https://www.ukgpl.com/index.php/rules/pitstops) for an explanation.

@Phil

Thanks!
I just noticed that fuel consumption was much higher when the car is very heavy (when a lot of fuel is filled). I did not test to run 77 laps at Watkins Glen yet. I drove 39 laps with a fuel load that was supposed to be enough for 77laps, but after the run fuel for only 23 laps was left according to the GPL setup menu. So I prefer to have a backup in case I will run out of fuel next Sunday.  :thumbup1:

Post by: Phil Thornton on January 05, 2021, 06:36:30 PM +0000
We've reviewed the registrations and decided it would be best to move the Grand Prix races to Friday nights. I hope you are OK with that Markus given that you have been testing your fuel consumption. It means drivers can enter the Sprint races AND the Grand Prix races if they like.

The calendar above has been updated and so the first Grand Prix distance 67F1 race will be on 22 January 2021.

Sorry for the last minute changes, I hope nobody is inconvenienced too much.

  Hello!

I'M sorry, but I'm a Work or Privateer?

  Bye!

  Hello!

I'M sorry, but I'm a Work or Privateer?

  Bye!
There are some very fast drivers in the Works and you are quick enough to compete with them (see here (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=22892#event10131)). But you didn't win the Privateers in Season 36 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=842&theme=6), you were the runner up. So you deserve a chance to try to win the Privateers championship before moving up to the Works. Your choice, but I would suggest the Privateers. Vote here (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=23382).

I believe that the change of date from Sundays to Fridays does not affect me, but as "sometimes" I must take real life into account I will analyze my personal calendar. I would like to be able to race in this year's Grand Prix.
Greetings
Claudio.

I hope you are OK with that Markus given that you have been testing your fuel consumption.

This is not a problem at all from my side. I think to change the date is probably a good decision as I hope more of us will now register for the long GP races.  :)

One question my friends: which pair of cars could I choose? Those available for the "Privateer" ones or the pairs that are available for "Works" drivers?
Thanks.
Claudio.

Hi Claudio

with your rank I would take the Works option ;)

Who is Works ? Who is Privateers in this serie ?

I'm sure I am Privateer but what about the other drivers ?

Or is it suspended? Did I miss anything?
Thank you.
