Hello everybody
I'm Marcos, a GPL-racer from Mybroga (I was coequiper of Hristo Itchov some season there). I recently installed P&G 3.1 and am (still?) very slow with it, but I liked this mod, that I never drove before.
Is difficult for me to join some official race. I don't know if my ping (I live in Argentina) would be good enough to have some safe race with you. Also, as I said I'm slow compared with most of you... and I would have to organize my fridays in a different way.
But I would like to try your server in some unofficial practices, hoping to found somebody there. I found the password you use in the forum, but I prefer to ask for permission before entering there.
I downloaded the replay of your last race in Goodwood and liked it very much. You're really fast...
Cheers, Marcos.

Is this Fri Dec 20 or Thu 19? I hope it's Thursday as usual as I'm supposed to get pissed on Friday (unofficial work Christmas drinks).

Please join our practice server any time you like Marcos, you are very welcome to test as much as you want.
Except Tony's Christmas special our P&G races are always on a Thursday and practice starts at 19:20 Uk time.
As you said, ping from Argentina may be high, but if it is stable you might be ok in our races without a problem. Some of our current members warp at times, but if you are warping a lot, it would not be practical.

Thanks phspock!
I tried to race today against the IA in Brands Hatch in a Lotus Elan, and discovered that either they are really fast, or I'm doing something really bad. I never imagined to be 10 seconds slower...
Just for curiosity. Are you using automatic or manual clutch? I proposed myself to use manual clutch, but I don't know if I'm losing time there. Also, is there some setup repository for P&G? I think the Elan's default setup for Brands Hatch is much improvable, but I didn't discover how. I just did some unsuccessful tweaks...
Best wishes and thanks again
Marcos.

What you need to do Mr mcmirande is to send a couple of PMs to Legzy and MJ asking them to get off their lazy butts and help you with some setups; in return for which you will be invited to join their flagging teams. Apparently, I'm not allowed to help you as it isn't fair?

Hi Marcos, Try some laps at Goodwood (last race) and compare them with the times in the results. If you can match my laptimes then you are ok. I'm usually one of the slowest and they let my race here. Just keep it on the black stuff and watch your mirrors. btw. I'm using manual clutch with H-pattern gearbox. Good luck and hope to see you on track next race.

Marcos.
Bienvinido Señor Marcos:-) If you need a setup, send me an e-mail [email protected], and I will send you one. I Can do a 1.41.200 but the fast drivers will go below 1.40 for sure. BTW: Racing from South America shouldn't be a problem, if you have a decent connection. Stig

Thanks to all!!
I'll try to do some time to practice in Goodwood, as you said. The kind of cars and the feeling of the simulation is completely different than in GPL and I guess the main difference in times are of handling, rather than in setups.
I looked for the server and I don't see it. Is it down by now?
Cheers, Marcos.

Guys I have not created an event for December 26th. I assume most people will be "boxing" or stuffed with the 2nd Christmas dinner If enough people want an event, then I can create one, but it's unlikely I will be allowed to compete, or even administer it. If anyone wants to do the admin on the night I will create an event with whatever cars and track you like.

Grats to the podium, must have been some race between John and Otto. They were pretty close when they lapped me for sure. Grats to JW on his championship and "oh another one" to the SB's.
Apologies to Clive for the bump at Clark at the end of Lap 1... I'd been working on maximising my speed through there and was in a nice drift and couldn't do anything when I realised how quickly I was heading for your rear end. That put me in a slide which was helped on by Ivan and poor Syd Drake had nowhere to go and ended up air-born. Apologies to Sid as well. I'll submit a report and fully accept the blame and any penalty.
The Elan was huge fun to drive around Brands. Even using the gamepad it was just a glorious 4 wheel drifting machine. Hugely enjoyable.
Merry Xmas and all the best for the New Year to you all.

Hell's teeth! Don't do that! Our mods will probably say that it was my fault for getting in the way!
