UKGPL Season 22 (2011-2012) Privateers (67) - Road America (Full) - Apr 29

[Rainier]

Congratulations to Ross for his well deserved championship, 5 wins for 10 races !!
Grats to Phil for his 2nd position.
I am also really admirative when i see Hendy Nichols racing 10 times with the BRM 

from my side, I was easy only on the Papyrus tracks (win in Mosport and Rouen, 2nd in Nurburgring, 4th on the Glen where I had bad luck with backmarkers), the other tracks were too difficult for me.   

Is there any rules for next season ? for example the 3 first should now race with the Works ? or is it free ?

If you send me a ten pound note (in plane brown envelope )  I will get you a works drive for next season , guarenteed

There is no forced promotion or relegation but the membership seems to like the idea so we may 'suggest' to some drivers that they may like to consider their division. It partly depends on who is registered. There are obviously four candidates who might fancy a crack at Works but who would come down? That is a bit trickier.

You ought to prepare for a season with the big boys Dave...

Mod published. Thanks to everyone for taking part this season.

A look at the results shows Sky was qualifying king with four poles but couldn't convert any into a win; Hendy was the most improved driver and Dave Curtis is the Privateers' "Rookie of the Year".

Monza, Spa, Zandvoort and Silverstone are likely to be the four Papyrus tracks we run next season. If anyone has any feedback on tracks or anything else then please let me know. See you in Season 23.

Them 4 pappies are fine by me

How's about we try a touch of 'Costa Brava'  in the form of Barcelona's excellent Mont Juich track

How's about we try a touch of 'Costa Brava'  in the form of Barcelona's excellent Mont Juich track 

It's a brilliant track Bernie, I think I considered it for this season but, if my memory is correct, it's had some problems in online racing.

However it might be worth a test race sometime if we can get enough people to volunteer.

[BadBlood]

I think the problem with Montjuich is that is very graphically rich and can cause issues on the server. Worth a go though, it is a lovely track.

[bernie]

So Mt Juich is officially proposed and seconded   

[s2173]

Well, it might be worth a try at some breast race... but that is the only track where i can achieve sub-10 fps, and there are not exacly too many straights neither...

[bernie]

I dont see how it can be any worse than some other tracks we use e.g. Monaco which doesnt have straight worth speaking of

Could you try reducing detail,  or lower the draw ahead distance some ?

Or maybe there is a light version available for them with slow 'ish PC's / GPU's whatever ?


 

[dave curtis]

Looks like there are lite/standard/hi-res versions available as well as a server-only implementation. 
So maybe there is something for everyone!

Although,  it looks as though a degree of homework would be required for that location!

Cheers,
Dave.

Thanks Dave, not got around to looking at this yet but will do so this week and set up a fun race if it looks like a runner.
