Welcome to round 9 of the 1st UKAC GPL67 Series

Tifosi time!


Damage and fuel use:

100% damage
100% fuel use
0% Tire wear (This is actually far more accurate than the mods' built in wear rate and 'fixes' the BRM)
Drivers must complete 50% of each race to score.

With the above in mind you will want to treat the first lap or two very carefully while your tires warm up and you adapt to driving on a heavy fuel load.

The 1st lap will be moderated

As per the 1967 F1 scoring system, each driver will discard their worst 2 scores when the points are calculated at the end of the season (Done for you in LM2)

BoP will be as follows:

Lotus & Eagle = 40Kgs
Ferrari           = 30Kgs

There will be no success ballast.

Practice: 19:30 (45 mins)
Qual: 20:15 (15 mins)
Race: 20:30  (33 laps)


Track:
Monza '66 (Kunos Stock)

Cars allowed:
3l 1967 F1 from the GPL67 mod.
I've put them on dropbox for now as the original download was apparently VERY slow:

Server might be down. It's not showing in lobby.

It must have been reset or something - when I logged onto it nothing was running for any of our sims.
The GPL server should be running now at least :)

I think it's down again, nothing in the lobby at this moment.

Sorry Syd, I've no idea what's going on.
I tried connecting to the server and couldn't even see it.

There's obviously something wrong with it  :(
I'll try again later tonight and/or tomorrow

We seem to be having server issues guys - I recommend you practice offline as well as you are able in case we are actually able to have a race on Weds.

I can ask in the Mod area if anyone knows how to configure PC, game & router to host games - if I can actually understand that then using my media PC as a server might be an option.
I've never done this though so don't hold your breath :)

Full or road course?

Road course Kimi.
I've spent the last 3 hours figuring out how to turn my Media PC into an emergency server, so on race night we should still be able to race.
I'll put it on in 10 minutes or so once I've copied and modified the settings from the normal practice server (Luckily I keep a copy on my main PC).

It will probably then remain on until 9:30 or so UK time as I'm not willing to leave that PC running 24/7.
Anyone who can get on to test it and give feedback will be appreciated (hopefully we'll get a few bods on together).
There won't be any s-tracker or other fancy bits though I'm afraid.

TEST SERVER IS NOW UP!
PLEASE SEE IF IT WORKS OK


Please let me know what your ping is like - and how much worse it is/isn't compared to normal

I can see it in the lobby, but there is some timeout error.

Now, all the servers are back.
I tried both, for direct comparation.  On Tim's backup server I was getting 70-75 ping, while on the regular server it was 50-55.

Post by: FullMetalGasket on July 05, 2021, 08:52:13 PM +0100
As the main one is apparently fixed now I'll turn mine off.
We'll save it for when we're really desperate!

I won't make this one neither unfortunately due to Net problems too.  :-\
One month that I fight versus my IP to make the things fixed now, but still a lot of instability, especially these last days.  :'( I would be a torpedoe-car if I'd join the party for sure.  ::)

Guys - sorry for the late notice but given the size of the grids lately I'm going to postpone this one until next week as we've had some late dropouts.
There simply isn't any fun to be had 'racing' against 6 cars on an empty track.

Given the server issues over the weekend I'd recommend using tonight as additional practice and we'll be back next week.

Sorry again :(
Tim

Oooohhh.
I must admit I was hoping this would also give you a chance to rejoin us Bob - we might even make double digits then :)

It was good to be back, although the lack of practise meant I had to take it easy the first few laps. Unfortunately my wheel trouble was not over. It cut out on FFB during the race. It looks like the new power supply doesn't seem to fit too good in the plugs socket of the Fanatec wheel, although it is exactly the same type of plug...
Well some more tinkering to do. Don't know if I can get it working before next race.

Another awful show here. Understeered into the armco at Lesmo on lap 1 and lost left side suspension front and back plus steering. That's 2 races in this series where I've crashed on lap 1 when I wasn't even pushing  ::)

Unfortunately my Internet problems caught me back even if I was hoping for enough stability to show up : disco in qualif, then after 7mn of race, then a couple mn after I came back to watch the race. So I gave up.
I was unable to get in the pace on that track I dislike so it wasn't that much of a pain to be honest.
