Title: UKGPL Season 38 (Spring 2021) 1967 F1 Sprint (Privateers) - Watkins Glen - Jan 10 Post by: Phil Thornton on January 07, 2021, 09:30:03 PM +0000 Season 38 – 1967 F1 Privateers – Round 1 –Watkins Glen
For the 1st round we go to the United States. International (nicknamed "The Glen") is an automobile race track located in Watkins Glen, New York, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980), but the site has been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series. The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is a very popular venue among fans and drivers. The facility is currently owned by International Speedway Corporation.

The only difference is the Works will be run under Pro rules with no resets allowed.
Hopefully the GPL Brazil drivers are familiar with the GPL Brazil rules but if not, here they are in Portuguese: (hopefully the translator did a good job ;) ) O campeonato de Fórmula 1 de 1967 tem o objetivo de proporcionar o desafio final para os pilotos mais bem sucedidos da liga, utilizando o conjunto de carros original de 1967. Embora pilotos de todas as habilidades sejam bem-vindos, espera-se que os participantes sejam razoavelmente hábeis em lidar com os 65 carros mais clementes antes de tentar dominar os brutos de 1967. Todas as rodadas contarão para a posição final do campeonato. Este campeonato é para os pilotos regulares "Privateer" que não são suficientemente rápidos para competir na categoria "Works". As corridas serão realizadas sob as regras "Intermediárias". Cada piloto terá direito a um reset que deve ser seguido por um Stop & Go obrigatório nas boxes dentro de duas voltas. Qualquer piloto que fizer mais do que o número permitido de reinicializações será penalizado. Mais uma vez, estaremos realizando um campeonato conjunto com a GPL Brasil. Na última temporada utilizamos o sistema UKGPL Token, portanto esta temporada com será utilizado o sistema de bônus de chassi GPL Brasil. O sistema de bônus de chassi usa uma regra simples que incentiva o uso de todo o chassi sem a complexidade do sistema token. A regra simples é: "Para qualificar para pontos de bônus, cada chassi deve ser usado pelo menos uma vez e nenhum chassi pode ser usado mais de duas vezes". Os pilotos terão uma ESCOLHA GRATUITA de chassi, entretanto, um bônus de 50 pontos de campeonato será concedido a cada piloto que utilizar todos os 7 chassi. Um ponto de bônus será concedido para a pole position. Um ponto de bonificação será concedido para a volta mais rápida. Qualquer piloto que utilize o mesmo chassi mais de duas vezes não receberá nenhum ponto de bônus. Um piloto deve cruzar a linha de partida a fim de registrar o uso de um chassi, a participação na qualificação não é suficiente. Não é necessário utilizar 7 chassi diferentes para as primeiras 7 corridas. Entretanto, ao final da temporada, todos os 7 chassis devem ter sido usados para se qualificar para os pontos de bonificação. Os pontos serão alocados da 1ª à 12ª como se segue: 20, 15, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Os pilotos devem completar 75% de distância de corrida para pontuar. Todas as rodadas contam para o campeonato do piloto. Para cada corrida, somente os dois melhores pilotos de cada equipe contam para o campeonato da equipe. Todas as rodadas contam para o campeonato de equipes. Moderadores: Dave Curtis e JonnyO. Visão geral: Será utilizado o modelo Dano Intermediário. Os motoristas só podem fazer um reset. Duração da corrida: 50 minutos. Os pilotos são lembrados de que os incidentes da volta 1 acarretam uma penalidade extra de 1 lugar. Somente os incidentes relatados serão moderados. A 1.3 Liberação da 67mod pode ser usada. O patch 60fps (60fpsV2NewMod) deve ser utilizado.

I've got the 60fps mod checked in GEM+ and have rebooted. Can you help?

I've got the 60fps mod checked in GEM+ and have rebooted. Can you help? Hi Pepe, have you recently enabled the 60fpsv2newmod in GEM+ ? If so, did you delete the gplc67.exe first, in case it has not been overwritten? (seems to be an issue/how it is sometimes).

GEM recreates the .exe file but it doesn't seem to change the 60fps check box. Do you know what file I need to change it in via the Notepad program?
Title: Re: UKGPL Season 38 (Spring 2021) 1967 F1 Sprint (Privateers) - Watkins Glen - Jan 10 Post by: dave curtis on January 10, 2021, 09:05:44 PM +0000 I've tried everything I can thing of. GEM recreates the .exe file but it doesn't seem to change the 60fps check box. Do you know what file I need to change it in via the Notepad program? Settings are in GEM.INI, which is probably in your folder: C:\Users\Public\Documents\GEM+ Or, if you have compatability mode enabled, it could be in in the same folder as the GEM.EXE (but last updated date for that file is probably not recent/so not that location). Look under section: Code: [ C:\GAMES\sierra\gpl\gplc67.exe ] Disabled is 0, enabled looks to be set to -1: Code: Option:60fpsv2newmod = -1 Or, delete the .ini (or rename it) & set it up again... May be worth checking the .XML file is still in GEM\OPTIONS folder & re-copy there if needed. Good luck! Cheers, Dave.

The setting is +1 to activate 60fps. I got onto the server with six minutes remaining in qualifying, took my race setup and reduced the fuel level to two gallons, and turned a 1:08 to put me 10th overall. Not bad, I thought, for hands that wouldn't quit shaking. When the green box lit up, I hit it and was placed on the track --- with two gallons of fuel in the tank. I thought briefly about doing the first lap and coming back into the pit to fill up with the latest refill patch, but hit the red (retire) box instead, thinking I could start from the pits. You can guess how well that worked, right? Sigh.
Kids, don't do what I did or, like me, you'll be credited with a DNS for your next race. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 38 (Spring 2021) 1967 F1 Sprint (Privateers) - Watkins Glen - Jan 10 Post by: Phil Thornton on January 10, 2021, 10:53:14 PM +0000 Cars driven after this race:

I must say though, some very courteous driving out on track. Nice to see. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 38 (Spring 2021) 1967 F1 Sprint (Privateers) - Watkins Glen - Jan 10 Post by: Rainier on January 11, 2021, 11:12:19 AM +0000 Pity we had an accident at the Loop with Dufossa.
I think we both could have a fun race with Phil. When Phil overtook me at the Loop, I had to leave my usual way and go to the outside of the track but then I had no other choice to go back to the apex else I would have finish my race on the straw bales. Maybe Dufossa could have wait the next lap where it could have been easy to overtake with the Lotus. The two leaders Ricardo and Dulima with a Lotus were too fast (in season 37 they won 1 and 2 races among the Works !) and I just hoped to finish 3rd but Phil with a BRM was incredibly fast. Grats to the podium. And a big thanks to all overlapped drivers, they were perfect !

Could you please make your choice and remove one of your vote ?

OK I understand now. Thank you. These are pilots already registered ?

I was convinced the field was just BRMs and Coopers. However there are fewer Coopers in the results than expected, I guess most of them I encountered were driven by Bernie! Had a moment at the loop when my chair shifted under braking. Just managed to hang on initially, but then lost it on exit whilst trying to jolt it back into normal position. My assortment of undersized wood offcuts layered behind my chair eventually let me down; after the race I ordered a set of locking wheels from Amazon! I've now watched the entire replay using Olaf's Replaydirector GEM+ option. Great action! Cheers, Dave.

I was really surprised to be not so slow as I expected after many years without driving such beast. OK, the track is a well known one... the next one will be a different story: I tried it yesterday evening and I'm 12" slower than my PB of 2012 :( See you all on track guys.

Does anyone know why when I try to race Ai at Monjuic Park69, only Denny Hulme appears and no other Ai !? Anyone else get this issue ? Ben Title: Re: UKGPL Season 38 (Spring 2021) 1967 F1 Sprint (Privateers) - Watkins Glen - Jan 10 Post by: Ben "Welling" Summers on January 21, 2021, 08:02:24 AM +0000 AH, thanks for the reply Paul on the forum. I think I was trying get my 67car to run with the 69Extra cars and it has confused things. It's just when I select normal 67 it will only give me 1967 season tracks. I guess I need to work on my GEM+ setting up skills as I am not that familiar to using it until recently when I installed it.
