If you do not intend to run long tracks such as Targa Florio or full length Isle of Man with 67, there is no real need to use the 67 Patch.

yeah it is a bit confusing but 2.5.9 should read 2.5.09 so 2.5.32 is newer

I will try and make this one but I might be late joining again.

That's about what I would expect from you Hristo ( Mr Perfect ) but to be honest I could not give a stuff about the points.

I had just finished 44 laps at Firebird with GPLRACER and as I exited that server back into igor I noticed the UKGPL race which had 10 mins qually left.
I checked the race thread to see if I was handicapped which I was not, and checked the pass. I had no time to read the rest of the post.
I clicked on the join button and all choices were open to me so I took my usual car, the 312.
It is so damn easy to setup igor to restrict cars and we spent allot of time with Phil ( guru ) and Christoph making it so. The server should have been set correctly and it wasn't.
Other leagues do not have problems with this so why does UKGPL ? Even the Sunday pickup races could do it.

I was focused on getting a setup working in a limited time and did not notice what other drivers were using. When I got to the grid I did think it strange that I seemed to be the only 3lt, but I know that track favours the small cars so I just figured no one wanted to drive a 3lt.
After the race I mentioned this and was told it was restricted, but too late. Someone could have told me while I was in qually but they didn't.

Anyway like I said, I am only here for a bit of fun and I do not care about points. As long as I have a few pixels to chase I am happy


paul

Hehe

I did not notice the >2.7 restriction and joined via igor in the 312.
Igor had all choices open so it was obviously not set up right.

As it happens although I could blow past everyone on the straight my overal lap time was slower that what I do in the 246. This was confirmed by Dave in a 2lt Lotus who held on to me for the whole race.
Unfortnately I had not allowed enough gas and started to run dry on the last lap. Dave was able to pass my spluttering Ferrari and take the win by 0.4 of a sec.

Grats Dave and all finishers.


paul

No problem Ken, I am sorry for the move. It was a bit ambitious and when I got a wheel on the grass under braking it all went pear shaped.

Silly of me but I guess there was too much red reflecting off my car

Sorry again for ruining your race ( and mine ) We could have given H a run for the champers.

Just to clear things up, the 66patch is fully compatible with original 66. We take great care to make sure this is so. The same applies to the 65 patch which can be used in conjunction with original 65.
If these patches were not compatible we would have made them as new mods, so avoiding confusion and online errors.

I just wish other developers would do the same and not release stuff that cannot be used with the original versions which will lead to so many problems online.

@turkey, if you look at the 66patch readme you can see John is involved so he does know what he is talking about on this subject.

Thanks Syd


paul

Thanks for the fun guys, especially to Hristo for clean and fair racing.

Spa is always makes a good excuse for fun in the 66 cars and this was no exception.
I would rather lose a cracking race like that than win a boring race so I am happy.

Grats to Hristo for the win and to all finishers.Also thanks to Vosblod for stepping in with his server at the last minute.

Hi Clive, what was you expecting to select in Gem ?
If it was long track option it is now built into 65, so when Targa is released ( soon ) 65 will work with it.
