UKPnG Season 10 1960's GT Cup - Kyalami - Jan 29

Good grief!

I've only got '79!

Will have to be tomorrow as I've been on a seven mile hike through 6" of mud today and I'm going to bed.

  Fair enough.
They are all in here:

I downloaded directly from NG.

70 ran ok

But when using 79 I lost connection to host during P1.  I think that the server may now be stuck.  I can't join it so can't get any further.  79 still runs on my pc.

[phspok]

Thanks Clive, yes 79 had crashed the server same as when I tried. I have restarted with 70 and 75
I was unable to connect to 75 as it kept booting me as cheat. Perhaps you could try that one.
70 ran fine on and off line
Which is a bit odd, as the 75 is the 70 with some eye candy added. The grass colour n the 70
is a bit strange, but so far is the most dependable.

[Clive Loynes]

Yep, can't get in to '75 as it boots me as possible cheat.

[phspok]

Ok, Thansk for that. Fede was on earlier, I'm not sure he understood what i was doing 
We will have to run with the 70 version that I started with.

Sorry I had to go to eat !!
For what I felt with the track of the 79 I could not enter, with 75 80% of the time crash.
With version 70 must be careful to curbs.
I'm testing the PC, hopefully good.

Hello

[phspok]

Thanks Fede.
This 70 version for me is smoother with less bumps than the 79 one.
Anyway, it's the only one that seems to work, so we will be using it.

Hi Matt,

Going forward, have you identified which of the original GPL tracks are available?  And are there multiple variants that need sorting out?

Can you get Monaco with just the hairpin at the end of the lap and no swimming pool?

Let me know if you want something investigating.

[Mark J]

More to the point, which version of kyalami did we finally settle on?  So glad I posted two adverts for this weeks races elsewhere only for both races to be changed very professional 

[phspok]

I wasn't trying too hard to have all the tracks as exact '67 variants, just as close as it's practical to do
I was more interested in following the 67 season with something like the period tracks
e.g the 67 season ran at Le Mans Buggati, but GPL used Rouen because of licencing issues
I prefer Rouen anyway, so am using that.
If there is an accurate decent period version of Monaco available then I will use it, but I would be
quite happy to run the 79 version if that's the best one. If you have found good reliable period
track versions then PM me if you can.

[phspok]

Thanks for your support MJ 
I thought we had run at Kyalami 79 before, but I must have been thinking of GTL perhaps
I have never had two versions of a track be unuseable before 
So, apologies for the unprofessionalism. We will be running the '70 variant as that is the
only one that people who took the time to help test could all use without issues.

[Clive Loynes]

e.g the 67 season ran at Le Mans Buggati, but GPL used Rouen because of licencing issues
I prefer Rouen anyway, so am using that.

Given the choice I'd do both! 

You have a lot of races to fill.

Was enjoying that but the rear end was just getting looser & looser.
Two spins in two laps, meant I lost two places (to 6th I think) & was swiftly followed by another rescued loss of the back-end...

After my hardwork at the start, I couldn't take the depression of spinning off & spinning off till I was last

p.s. Evil, I think we were in the same car, but I couldn't work out why I was a fair bit faster in the corners but you just roared away on the straights (even when I had good toe ). Was losing me about 0.4 secs (while getting your drag) on the main straight alone :'(

Good fun, had two chances to dice with MJ after I put a wheel up a kerb early on and
had to wait for the field to pass...
If you weren't aware, one of the Daytonas has no rear spoiler, and is faster down the straights
but waves it's botty around for fun. I think it's a light blue one?
