If you would like to enter this series please submit an entry in the poll.

I'd like a shot at the privateers as well please, Tim.

May be able to get some works races in over the christmas holidays or later in the season.  :)

Privateers again sirs
BookieW :)

Who worked out the automatic registration BTW? Good stuff. :)

It's not automatic - we just check it frequently...

I'm in for the Privateers division, pleased to see we're allowed one shift-R as this will hopefully allow me to build up more experience in these cars.

I've reconfigured the shattered remnants of my Season 19 PC, for an attempt at Season 20. :)

I'll do my best to attend these races from the start of the season, work permitting. For now the target is to get an internet connection up and running in my new house!

Back again for another season!

Hope to make 75%+ ~ subject to negotiations with Fun Warden. Its a bit like dealing with Bob Crowe.

Privateers for me too please. She- notice lower case- will have to put up with my absence for two nights a week. Better not tell her it's in dedication of another woman :)

Actually the token system would let you have HER as many times as you desired...

It's not like he has a choice now that he's a Waza. ;)

That's what's happening, when you you sign a pact with the devil :lol:

Here is the provisional split between Works and Privateers drivers for Season 20. I say provisional as the idea is to promote close racing so, if you feel misplaced, please say so. The only real change is my move to Works - will be a challenge but I did win by a margin last season so time to give it a go.
Anyone registering between now and 10 October will be placed according to their ability. We do have 20 full timers so a split is looking feasable but more drivers would be most welcome.

WORKS drivers

Kinghiro (R)	Evil Clive	Hristo
Tim FMG	Steve Bird	John Roberts
Al Heller	Vosblod	Jethro
Sam B	Bartosz (Pod)	Baab (R)
Beefpie (R)	Rick N (R)	JHalli (R)
Fulvio P (R)	Tommie van O (R)	EasternSun (R)

PRIVATEERS drivers

Bernie	Burtoner	Mike Turner
Billy Nobrakes	Bookie W	Nigel Smith
Fabio (Il Lupo)	Ronnie Peterson	Paul Badblood
Martin Maddog (R)	Ross Gilles27 (R)	Hannah (R)
Nicky I (R)	Happy Al (R)	D-Rock (R)

count me in for a works ride

Edit:  Will definitely miss 2 races due to working out of town, possibly more...  unless I take my hotel rig again.  But dodgy hotel connections make that a real iffy.  Had to vote less than 75% attendance.

No problem - you just need to vote in the poll at the start of the thread to be included

If we are using stop and go for the Privateers, how long do you have to remain stationary in your pit stall?

Ronnie, why don't you run in the Works?

Stop and Go means just that - you stop (0 km/h) and start going again immediately, without delay.

If Privateers are now allowing 1 reset, what is the procedure if we run 1 grid with both Works & Privateers? Or does that mean that every race is split now regardless of numbers?

Yep - general guidelines here (https://www.ukgpl.com/index.php/rules/sporting) although for Privateers there will only be one stop allowed and a Stop and Go is compulsory for any Sh/R. You don't need to stop in your actual pit stall just pull over so the pit lane is clear for any others coming through.

We are hopefull we can run two grids for every race. IF the numbers became silly (I'm thinking grids of three or four) we would have no option but to revert to one grid (and PRO) for all. We're trying one stop following some requests and in the hope of enticing more drivers to try the 67's.

Hi,

I would like another campaign in the privateers. ;D

Thanks,

Hannah

By lower case- as in 'she'- I was referring to her indoors. I am of course totally dedicated to HER cause for the season, or even longer.
Unfortunately I look like missing the pre-season events due to family commitments- that is , she makes the commitment, and I honour it. lol.
But I hope to get in some more practice on the track list. See you all on the grid.

You're in

 :)
I would like to try to handle those 67 beasts in the privateers

I've put myself in, I'm only planing on doing a handful of races, but I'll give it a go in privateers please.

The trouble with these 67 beasts, is their preference for the wilderness.  Welcome aboard Nicky and Happyal!  ;D

hi!

to the privateers please, doing maybe less than 75%



Juha

Hi Juha,
Great to see you join us and attend whenever you can.
Considering your recent form at Silverstone I rather think you would prefer doing the Works against the fast guys then scratching the Privates waiting for everyone else to catch up  ::)
If it's OK with you I'll plonk you into the more experienced division and we can always change later.

Blimey,

If Juha thinks he should be in the Privateers I'm going to have to have a 10 lap start - and thats in an 11 lap race  :(

ah ,.yes works is okay

I'll be racing with the Privateers whenever I can get Sundays off work.

All done

Hi all , new here at this forum. Id like to join in if its ok and not too late ?? 
This league , Graduates cup.
See you on track all :)
Thx
Toni Niemi 

Hi Toni and welcome to UKGPL, it's never too late to join. To register for Graguates you need to vote in the poll at the beggining of this thread.

The next question is whether you would be more suited to the Works or Privateers sub divisions. The Works is for the more experienced/quicker drivers whilst Privateers is suited to those who are newer to the 67 beasts.
How long have you been racing GPL? Do you have a GPL Rank? Going from last seasons Mexico event if you are qualifying in the 1.48-1.51 zone Works might be more suited to you.

Hi again , yes i guess the privateer sub is more suited for me. My best times at mexico is high 1.51 :s mostly mid 52:s   in the eagle...    Im working on my gpl rank , have some negative times but not all . and not tamed the green beast yet :)   thats why i dont have any official rank yet. Been practising on it though.

OK I've processed your registration and let's see how you go in the Privateers. You will see the password for tonight's race on the Mexico thread (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=8656.msg153666#msg153666) along with Shift/R rules and details re tokens. Hope to see you there.

Welcome on board Toni.

Thx guys :)

Hi All
I will do everything I can to participate in Kyalami (GPL67) on Sunday...if it's ok?
I've run GPL67 (no mods) very much, but unfortunately for several years back...now I'm old & rusty, elect probably a Honda that gives more points ;D ...if I reach the man with the checkered flag.  :o
If you are looking at GPLRank...remember my lap times are from before I was rusty  :laugh:

Hi Pelle, nice to see you here.  A fun run last night. Welcome.

Hi Pelle,
Welcome to UKGPL. I've processed your registration so you will be able to see the race password under the Kyalami thread. You are in as a 'reserve' driver but in reality there should be enough free spaces for you to race, don't forget to read up on the token system re chassis choice.
The next question is whether you would be more suited to the Works or Privateers sub divisions. The Works is for the more experienced/quicker drivers whilst Privateers is suited to those who are newer to the 67 beasts.
A little birdie (see the pun ;)) tells me you are in 1.19/20 territory. From past events that would put you into the Works division. However if you would feel more comfortable in Privateers for your first outing or two we could do that with the option to move you up depending on how you go.
Let me know which you would prefer.

Thx...& yes, Steve (bird? ;) & I got tested a little, big fun.
 Of course I would of Works server, but I will test some more with the car (Eagle/Honda) today & see how it goes  :)

Think I'm ready for Works Server - Test with Eagle said 1:19.7, but not stable  >:(
Honda, I only used to get a Monster Rank & only had a few setups. Found a really good stable setup & competitor certainly in Honda  :)
...but I wish I knew who is coming today, & not least...what times they run  ;)

Many from season 18 are the same, so take a look HERE (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=6874#event1858), which will give you the lap times too.

If you want to try Hristo's setups, he kindly provided them for everyone HERE (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=8489.0)

Good luck

A Honda driver???

Perhaps you could be persuaded to join the infamous Team Hiki-Waza?

http://racingleague.co.cc/hikiwaza/news/welcome-to-our-new-hiki-waza-home/

http://www.hiki-waza.dsvh.co.uk/

OK Works it is.

Thx  ;)
...& Thx for tip Steve  :thumbup1:
@EvilClive: Unfortunately, Honda is not my choice number one - Eagle is my favorite, but I think it is a good choice after several years break from GPL.
I will certainly start at the back & not make 'too many' accidents...& Honda produces good points - if I get to the finish line  ;D

 :laugh:

Nice try!

I think Pelle could be a great addition for a team.  CHR is full already, but get your offers in chaps! I don't think he'll be free long! ;)
