UKGPL Season 30 FUN - CanAm66 - Riverside - Apr 15

[Tom van Ostade]

Looking forward to this 

Thanks for the Genie set-up, T. Much friendlier than my efforts. I copied it over to the Lola Chev 333 and immediately put in a 45 flat, but the rear was super twitchy again. Any idea on how to counter that? Have tried more rear RB like you suggested, but it's not helping much. Any chance you've done setups for the other cars?

I must have missed something somewhere about the new 66 Can Ams.........where do I get the download??   and are there any issues with loading it??

Also if Tommie has some base line setups that he is willing to share, that could save me a lot of wasted time 

Here are some baseline setups I made. I was hoping they could be promoted to the mod's default setups, but they got replaced. Ah well . Because of the big V8's I have to use much more forward brake bias, and I pushed them even more forward in these setups to support the whole 'get in and drive' idea I was going for. I tried to make them as safe and predictable as I could, without introducing terminal understeer. I hope they are of any help .

Last night's Riverside 1966 setup I used:

Place them in your player setup folder. In my case, it was C:\Sierra\GPL\players\van_Ostade__TommieCA66\setups\riside66

Tommie.

Thanks Tommy. I have no idea how to setup a car so these are invaluable

Please give me your feedback if the cars are right mapped,
as I can't get the real names out of GPLRA

Downloaded the Can AM 66 mod yesterday and installed it. All appeared OK, but I cannot seem to find the .exe file for this?? 

I use Gem to manage all the various mods we now have in GPL and yet I cannot get it to work. Ran out of time yesterday to try and work this one out, so thought I would ask if anyone else had experienced problems.

Tom VO, Thanks for the setups ! 

About the race, my setup was very bad (it was before I downloaded TVO's) and the race was difficult. Then I was rear ended by Dean, again (like I was in Borovaya) ...
The old Romans said "bis repetita placent" but I do not agree !

Just making sure, did you add the CANM66 carset in GEM and then execute GPL? The exe is called then gplm66.exe

PS: thanks Tommie for setups, will check out some

I think all the car listings are as they should be, super job Axel 

[GregT]

Congrats Axel, Iestyn, and Tommie!

I thought I could handle Axel with his 450hp. But as he often does, he makes me regret I didn't use a higher powered car. 500hp may have been enough but 465 sure wasn't.

That was fun guys. Later I realized I was using too much tire pressure. I think I may have fixed it where I don't start losing a lot of grip after a few laps.

Thanks guys.

Yes, the ChapE should not be underestimated by his lack of power and 2 gears as it has the best handling

This is the metric setup I used



and in non metric

[Tom van Ostade]

Thanks Axel! Wow, 50 % brake bias!  . You are good on the brakes! The rest seems similar to what I'm using, except roll bar values. I'm running about half that, I need the feedback to feel what the car is doing, but it can make the car more twitchy.

Can you change the Lola Ford 305 tires to Goodyear? Dan Gurney's All American Racers was sponsored by Goodyear so he ran with those tires. The Pacesetter team with the McLaren-Elva Mk 2 was also running Goodyear. Although many other Mk 2's ran Firestone, it might be fun to mix the listing up a little. Just a suggestion though .

Tommie.
