Title: Joe Shaw Memorial Trophy 2021 1965 F1 - Monza REVERSED- Apr 11
Post by: EvilClive on April 05, 2021, 02:25:42 PM +0100
For this years Joe Shaw Trophy races there is something different.
Each evening we will have one short FUN race which will give no points towards the trophy, but will be a small challenge. Followed by a medium length race which Will have points towards the Trophy but it also is slightly different. The tracks that we will use are all Papyrus originals, so everyone should be comfortable with them.

Monza in reverse might sound simple, but now Parabolica tightens up as you go deeper, instead of opening up as it does in the conventional direction.
For this race we are using the 65 F1 cars, so be prepared for some serious slipstreaming.

Race list = iGOR
Server = UKGPL10
IP address = 217.155.118.41
Password = see above (#post_event_password)
GPL Mod = 65
Damage model = Intermediate
60fps Patch = 60fpsV2newmod
Track download = link (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T6-Rn0O2AVsBE1Ptvb1wuiJxJ_T08Ye0?usp=sharing)
Track directory = aznom - PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PAPYRUS TRACK IN REVERSE
Qualifying starts = 21:05 UK time - 8 minutes
Race starts = ~ 21:15 UK time
Race length = 12 laps
Replay=  here (https://www.sendspace.com/file/8ugg0i)

PLEASE READ THESE RULES CAREFULLY AND ASK IF YOU ARE NOT SURE.

QUALIFYING IS ONE LAP ONLY. 8 minutes of qualifying, one out lap followed by a single timed qualifying lap. If you make a mistake on your qualifying lap that is tough  ;D Everyone will be watching from the pits, so no point in trying to sneak a second lap in. Anyone who posts more than a single qualifying lap will get a 30 second time penalty added to their race time.

Everyone has a free choice of car and unlimited S/Rs, with no requirement for any SnG.

Hi bernie. I'm guessing it needs adding to a season file.

There is a reversed season file included (RVseason) so you could temporarily attach that to your 1965 profile in GEM+

Alternatively (thanks for the nudge!) - I've set UKGPL10 going, so could be easier to join that.

Cheers,
Dave.

Its a no go , my folder in GEM + has profiles but there is no 65 profile just a load of gobly gook  ???

iGOR says " cant join because it cant find the track "

Someone needs to point me to the folders to copy these files to .

Like telling me the correct path might help  ::)

Hi Bernie.

I just dropped the unzipped Aznom folder straight into the gpl tracks folder and RVtracks.ini into the season folder.

Fired up GEM. selected 65 cars and my 65 player. Dropped down the season selector jobbing and clicked on that. All loaded fine , but only showed one track and no picture but it loaded fine.

Even tried the online server and that was fine.

Weirdest thing is Monza backwards it's strange but fun.

Hope you get things working mate.

I done that , azmon still not shown in any seasons file

When run iGOR and select the race,  it loads up but only as far as the Sierra screen when I get a screen freeze and have to re boot the PC .

I just LOVE computers  :wub:

Bernie,

Just a thought. In gem's season manager add the track to another known working season. Like the original 67 one and see if it loads from there.

Hope you sort it.  The more knowledgeable should be around soon.

If you want to have a picture for the Aznom track you may try this: https://ibb.co/SdnqGnS and put it in your gplsecrets/GEM+/Pictures/ Folder.

The tight grid was interesting but thankfully everyone was sensible and there were no accidents at the first corner. The race was great fun, very close battles with several drivers until I ran wide at Parabolica and dropped to the back. The last lap battle with Arf was epic at Lesmo 2 ;D

Got off to a splendid start to vault from P8 on the grid to take P2 going into the Parabolique.  Things looking up!  Slipstreamed passed Bot to take the lead on the run down to the Lesmo but as ever, Bot drives over the top and bungled Lesmo2 getting totally sideways to the point that I couldn't avoid him.  I shouldn't be surprised at this.  More than once I've had tangles with this maniac.  Lucky to escape without a DNF on the spot.  Thanks to the confusion behind, I took the lead and the Red Ball Special looked really good up there on the point.

I had Evil Clive hanging on desperately to my slipstream in his little BT7 and doing a great job.  By half distance, Fulvio had caught me up and took the lead to start Lap07.  Bot had recovered from his Lap01 gaffe to catch up and challenge me approaching the Lesmo on this lap.  I wasn't about to let him have a second chance to wreck me so let him by without a fight.  Clive was still hanging on gamely not far behind me.  Bot took the lead to start Lap08 and started to inch away.  I continued my duel with Fulvio and sad to say, it all went wrong for Clive on Lap09 with a slide and spin resulting in a lost wheel.  A sorry end to a splendid drive.

Starting the last lap, it was going to boil down to a slipstream pass for P2 and I was in good position just behind Fulvio as we crossed the S/F line and run up to the Parabolique.  Imagine my shock when suddenly his Brabham started to fall to pieces.  He'd clipped the billboard hoarding on the entrance to the Parabolique and spun to a halt.  For a moment there, I was very fearful of getting caught up in this wicked shunt but I managed to maintain control and hang on to a very tasty P2 at the flag.  Ray slipped through for a podium and Fulvio was at least able to salvage P4 at the flag.
