PLEASE NOTE THIS WILL BE AN F2 RACE. SHORT QUALIFYING SO DON'T BE LATEOn holiday – No? Bored with the Olympics – A bit? Need some spice for your Friday night? Here is something for the committed GPL racer – an [ALMOST] full length Grand Prix in the 1967 Formula 2 mod. Run on Pro settings, staying power & consistency may just count more than speed. Free choice of chassis. Due to the extended race length qualifying will be a minimum of 15 minutes with race to start at 21.15 UK time. Pleas take extra care in the first few turns – it’s a marathon not a sprint! Race list | iGOR | Server | UKGPL8 | Date | 03-08-2012 | Race time | Race starts at 21:15 UK time | Qualifying time | Min 15 minutes, starting no later than 21:00 UK time | Track | Snetterton | Mod | Formula 2 | Damage model | Pro | Race length | 60 laps |
As a Fun Race there will be no password or moderation for this event. No shift R – it is Pro settings. The replay you will get here

80 laps - holy cow... Greco-Roman wrestling has never looked so attractive!

On second thoughts .... 80 laps could well extend the race beyond 1hr 45 mins. Using a scientifuic formula based on cups of tea & average bladder capacity of GPL drivers I think 60 laps is probably more appropriate. Should bring us in around the hour & a half mark. Still less sweaty & more exciting than Greco-Roman wrestling! I don't expect there will be many finishers - but hope there will be a few starters.

Bernie / Andreas, Thanks for the feedback. It seems as though the combination of 69X & this track just don't mix very well. The mod team is planning to run a few other 69X races in the season break. So we can still have a race I suggest we change the Mod to Formula 2 - everything else stays the same - Snetterton 67. Minimum of 15 minutes qualifying with Race proper at 9.15. 60 Laps on Pro settings. Free choice of chassis. We did an F2 Race here pre-season so it should not cause any problems. Main Race post will be changed!

IMO it's much safer to change to another track instead of changing to another mod. It's mostly the track which causes screen freezes, not the mod, so changing to F2 is not making it safer in that aspect. I've had freezes at Snetterton in other mods before.

I prefer to change mod instead of track... if we change track, we will end up with either montjuic, silverstone or brands, because we have no other working tracks left. And if we change mod, I wont have to reinstall 69x again, cause it starts crashing a week after I install it... On the other hand, lets do 69x on brands hatch... then I'll have a excuse to not show up and instead try to figure out what I'm doing wrong at nurby...

Hristo / Goran, As the race is tomorrow evening I think it is too short notice to change the track. We did a couple of F2 races in pre-season at Snetterton & I'm not aware there were any problems. I think this is the best compromise in the time available. There are a few 69X races planned during August, so you'll get a chance to run this mod.
