Title: UKGPL Season 17 (2009) - 65 Fun Race - Zeltweg (Österreichring) - Feb 22
Post by: vosblod on February 16, 2009, 11:20:09 AM +0000
A bit more notice this time…
This is our second fun race for some pre-season practice and also to test UKGPL6 prior to the start of the season. It is being run on Sunday rather than Tuesday due to the LBGPL race 24/2. Zeltweg 1970 is an old UKGPL favourite not run for some time due to past server issues. We are hoping the new server set-up will overcome this…

There are a few versions of Zeltweg around. We are using the Ronnie Bresich 1970 version found here; http://dixierunners.speedgeezers.net/zeltweg1970/

If you have problems installing the 65 mod, just post on the thread. If you haven't used the 65 cars before, be aware that though they're far easier to drive, they have no proper default setups of their own- you'll have to download one, or alter the gearing.  There are default setups available if you need one, just use the link below.     

Please be in IGOR UKGPL chatroom by 8:40 p.m.
(You will need to set up a channel called #ukgpl if you haven't already done so)

Race date = 22-02-2009, 9pm
Track =  Zeltweg 1970

Race length = Int-Long (16 laps)

Download the track from: http://dixierunners.speedgeezers.net/zeltweg1970/

Chassis assignments: any chassis you like

New 65 Patch: This is likely to be released shortly - as this is a fun race if it is available you can use it...

65 Mod
 
The 1965 season was the last to use the controversial 1500cc formula which had begun after 1960, to the initial advantage of Ferrari.  The 1965 cars are smaller than the 1967 cars and have less torque and hence more grip.  It was claimed that they 'cornered on rails', however this allowed the Grand Prix series to retain the use of circuits which were otherwise to prove extremely dangerous.

The 1965 cars are ideal for those new to GPL as they allow the tracks to be learnt in light reliable cars, however these are also full Formula One cars, and quite fast....  Jim Clark won the 1965 Belgian Grand Prix from in a Lotus.  Graham Hill took pole in his BRM P261 with a time of 3'45.4 .  The 1965 distance was 32 laps.

David Wright's 'Legends' site http://fp.gplegends.plus.com/ has the download of the most recent 2.0.1 version (under 'details') as well as being an exceptional guide to both 1965 and 1967, for those interested in Formula One history.

Unfortunately the current 65 mod download does not have default setups.  Default setups for all the cars and tracks that are likely to be used can be downloaded from http://www.neurology-crew.com/gplserver under '65 setups'.  Note that you will have to add enough fuel for the race, whether short or long!

Whoever is providing the server might want to look at moving the grid back a couple of rows so that the lap coun't doesn't get screwed up the way that it used to.

Aah, so that's why the lap count is out. D'oh!

Anyone got a good loose grid that's in the right place before I make one?

Clive, how far back does it have to go?

In fact, while you're researching that you could make a loose grid and upload it for the server operators.

Ever the gent.

I'll see if I can reach this one. I see there's a few from the Amateurs' league who will be there. It would be interesting to see how I manage compared to them. :)

One funny thing btw: Got a new mobile phone this week, a Sonny Fredricsson C702. It's the first phone I have that I can surf the internet with, so I tested it on UKGPL.com. The screen on the phone is a bit narrow, so the title of the page looked like this:

The UK
Grand Prix
Legends
Champions
hips

So that isn't bad, an internet page about a part of the anatomy of a GPL champion!  :thumbup1:

O'll have a shufty.  LOL  Last time I over did it and the bloke on pole could only just see the starter.

I think that pole needs to move back to where 3rd would be but will check.

If you don't then I think that if the people from 1st or 2nd on the grid should win the race then the race ends up being a lap short.  Don't know why.

Think this works.  The faulty grid has stalls in front of the front of the grid.

Shouldn't it be either mandatory or not? Fun or not, it'd make a big difference between those using it and those that don't. Personally I'm going to use it, otherwise it'd be a disadvantage, but you have the final call.

Ideally it would be a mandatory yes or no, but we are in limbo in that it's been released post race announcement and clearly a lot of people have it. All I can say is use it if you have it/want to, those that don't will be at a disadvantage. I don't want to pre-empt anything but prior to the Season 'proper' I believe there will be clarification.

Having just done an AI race (hopelessly inadequate that they are), I can safely heed Vosblod's suggestion and call on everybody racing tonight "if you haven't got the new 65 mod patch installed, do so otherwise you will lose out". It's at power circuits like this, Monza, Rouen etc with the long straights and lengthy sections full-throttle that you need the extra oomph up the hill in drafting. I gained a few MPH on the run up the hill on full tanks.

That was good fun! Shame I didn't win it, I was so so close to Hristo before outbraking myself in 2 consecutive corners.

Qualifying was a little frustrating, couldn't put a clean clear lap together, then I went out at the end with about 2 minutes to spare, started the hotlap with about 10 seconds left on the clock, and banzai'd it around like Senna would, and it came up 1st! Dead chuffed. ;D

Race started a bit hedgy, had natan breathing alongside me then not alongside me in T1, and I just tried increasing the lead from there, until about lap 8 or 9 when I started doing 52s instead of 51s and that closed the gap between me and Rob behind.

Then we touched at T2 on lap 13.  >:(

Haven't yet checked the replay, but I thought I gave more than enough room for both to make the corner, however I was not going to run wide on the verge because that would have spun me around. I then realised Hristo was coming up on the outside on the grass, so (reluctantly) let him through, and set about chasing him down to try and pass him. It didn't happen, and he deservedly took the win.

I set my PB during the race though, so dead chuffed with that. :D

That was a brilliant race - the new patch really has resparkled my interest in the 65s. The Österreichring really was a fabulous race track to drive on and the racing made it all the more special  ;D. Why they butchered the track into the A1 ring i'll never know.

Quali went ok, managing 7th on the grid. Everyone seemed to get a good start off the grid so the positions remained the same into the first corner. I then suffered a massive FPS drop just before the Boschkurve (which obviously caused my spin  :D) and I lost the back end into the barrier. Only a couple places lost, so not too much harm done.

A couple laps later it seemed Hristo, Clive & John had a coming together with me and Clive getting very close together when he rejoined the track. Suprised we didn't hit each other; the new crash-boxes working a treat no doubt. I then procceded to catch Nicky and Clive was catching me which resulted in a great battle for a few laps. I managed to lead the trio and began to pull away for a short while and the next few laps were relatively quiet, maybe overtaking the odd backmarker here and there.

With 2 laps to go, Clive was again driving right under my gearbox and we had a nice little battle on the last lap. Clive was faster through the second-half of the lap but thanks to my wide BRM, I held onto 5th. A good result I thought; see you all in Season 17  ;D.

What a race! I might've managed better than 4th in qualifying as my last lap was going really well but caught up with a slower car and that was it.
I had a good start, but the lack of power allowed the cars behind to be all over my back even though I stood in the slipstream of the car ahead on the inside. Managed to hold my position though and even went up to 3rd and then to 2nd with just Jethro up ahead, but by that time he had managed to open up a small gap. Paul was very fast behind though and using my slipstream was full in my mirrors and in effort to try and escape him I entered a tad too fast in the first long lefthander and spun around as I lifted up. A few cars avoided me but eventually there was a collision with someone but luckily nothing major so we all continued, though quite low down the filed, 8th or so.
From there on I had nothing to lose so just took as many risks as I could to catch back up and was slowly regaining the lost positions. Once I got up to 5th place things settled for many laps as the car ahead had a good pace and it took awhile to catch it. As soon as that happened though it went off and now I had Paul to deal with while Jethro and Rob could be seen further ahead battling each other. The battle with Paul was fierce but eventually he ran wide going into T2 so I opted for the inside but as I got alongside him there was contact and he went off.
I thought that's as far as I can go considering there were only 4 laps remaining but unbelievably Jethro and Rob collided and I went through just as they were recovering. Jethro soon closed up behind and the task of keeping 1st for 3 laps was seeming nearly impossible, but I just kept taking risks and hoped for the best. Jethro kept closing more and more and was just beginning to use my slipstream when he went wide and that was enough to lose him the momentum, so victory was mine.  ;D

Suppose I should be happy with 7th really - I'd just got back from a Karting trip in Wales and was totally knackered, also I'd completely forgotten about this and therefore was late (7 minutes to go when I joined  :wacko: ) Qualifying was spent trying to get a setup sorted out (hence the time  :-[)
Started 19th, gained about 4-5 places in the first few corners then got collected by an accident ahead.
Pulled myself out of the barriers and carried on, eventually caught JR and had a bit of a scrap with him before putting a back wheel on the grass and spinning.
Caught him again when he was trying to pass Nicky, followed for about a lap while he passed Nicky before starting to make my own move. Nicky pulled into me (mustn't have seen me as I know he wouldnt do that on purpose) sending me into the barriers and span again. I spent several laps chasing the two of them before they contacted in T1 and I passed both of them.
From there on in it was just a case of trying to stay awake and on the track   :laugh:

Looking forward to trying Spa with the new patch  ;D

Think this works.  The faulty grid has stalls in front of the front of the grid.

Clive, I heard a rumour that the lap count was still off last night and some of the grid could hardly see the starter. Any suggestions?

The timing itself is correct. You get the chequered flag after the correct amount of laps. The problem is the pitboard guy showing you the remaining number of laps as +1, i.e. 2 to go when it's actually 1. I've seen it happen at other tracks as well, it could just be the positioning of the pitboard guy as moving the grid slots doesn't change where timed laps begin/end. From what I remember when I was trying to make a track it's always the line where the first and last track sections connect.

That's correct Hristo  :)
You can move the pit board guy around but the start finish line is unmovable as it's defined by the beginning of the first section of track  :)
I once tried and failed at track creating too - should have persevered really as I have some good ideas for circuits knocking about in my head  ::)
Would love to make a circuit out of my drive to work and back  ;D

After faffing around for ages trying to join the race ( dont ask ) I got a tip on joining from Hristo. However the connection was very poor , sound was breaking up all the time and worse all the other cars nearby appeared to be  travelling at least 200mph faster than mine , it didnt make much difference because I got disco'd anyway.

Not sure what the problem is with Igor but the thing needs sorting before I can continue racing , I have been  disco'd from the last 3  "65 mod"  races I joined it seems to be since I installed the 60 hz mod , each time i disco,  I end up with a black screen "papyrus window" and an error message telling me I need an Indeo codec .

Having seen the replay, I can only apologise for my antics on lap 13/14, and say "it probably won't happen again". By the looks of things, I squeezed a little too much just trying to avoid running onto the banking, which is unfortunately all too easy to do at T2.

Who said I failed.  ;D
I had been working on Imola 94 track for an year and a half, trying to make the layout as realistic as possible, but never got to do the objects and scenery much, so it was left unfinished, though quite driveable. But yeah to make a finished track it requires some graphics and 3D design skills.

That's were I failed  :yes:
I created an accurate layout for the test track at the Haynes museum in Summerset.
Even managed to get the banking but simply couldn't create the buildings surrounding the track  :(

If you were prepared to scavenge for objects and scenery that needn't be an obstacle?  You'd have to credit the original authors, but with two sets of extra graphics for sixties Imola itself, as well as all the other stuff, you could make it fairly decent?  Nineties Imola might be more of a problem though.. There's a project I've been tempted by despite having zero knowledge, since it seems fairly limited, the reworking of Suzuka to the sixties layout with sixties scenery- but there might be a lack of Japanese scenery.  There should be enough European scenery though!

There's a project I've been tempted by despite having zero knowledge, since it seems fairly limited, the reworking of Suzuka to the sixties layout with sixties scenery- but there might be a lack of Japanese scenery.  There should be enough European scenery though!

Yeah, modern tracks are more tricky because it's hard to make them look modern if you use the majority of  GPL tracks to get objects from and doing 3D and texturing myself I'm just not willing to bother I guess. Besides, with 4 chicanes in it Imola 94 wouldn't be very favorable for 60s cars, except 69 mod perhaps. Not to say it's not interesting to drive at though. If I find motivation I might try to make a more finished version eventually.

I didn't know Suzuka existed in the 60s, what was its layout? From what I know it was built by the same designer that made Zandvoort, wish he was alive and working on modern tracks instead of that Tilke guy...

It was pretty much the same as todays, 130R was 130R. The Degner curves was one hairpin curve closer to the barrier, and no Casio triangle existed - straight run through from Spoon > 130R > S/F straight.

Here's a lap of Imola 94 in a Matra 69 car - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcUVWeqaUi0

You can compare with the real thing in these onboards:
Senna 94 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-64eHLD1F0
Schumacher 94 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_kQVJnZRyc
A bit of Hakkinen 94 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dufRtdbXFAk
Derek Warwick early 80s - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciluwF47c-Y
Eddie Cheever 89 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StxAJsIM6K4 (very good quality)
Riccardo Patrese 91 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkDalK_UStI
Alessandro Naninni 90 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyLP8vcFIE4

As you can see some corners and altitude changes are still wrong, as for graphics many buildings are missing, also there are some bugs with transparency and some textures are too ugly.  ;)

That lap of yours in the 69s looks brilliant! How did you capture it?
