UKGPL Season 33 (2018) 1967 F1 - Monaco - Jun 24

« on: June 22, 2018, 06:01:10 PM +0100 »

Season 33 Graduates Cup – Round 4 – Monaco

For the fourth round we are at the iconic street circuit of Monaco, an original Papyrus track (although you can find some good graphic updates in the usual places). The inaugural race was staged in 1929 & whilst some modifications have been made the circuit has also been characterised by almost non-existent run off, narrow runs, tight corners, multiple gear changes & few natural overtaking places.

The registrations for this seasons Graduates Cup are not sufficient to support separate grids. Therefore, both Works & Privateers drivers will participate on the same grid. All drivers have the same tokens allocations. We will, however, run two championships, & separate points will be scored for each. A Privateer may finish the actual race 5th, but still win the Privateers race. The race will be moderated as a combined grid. Privateers are asked not to hold up a Works driver whilst being lapped, but you may race fairly for track position.

The important difference is that Privateers are permitted one reset with a compulsory Stop & Go (taken within two laps). Although the race setting is “Intermediate” Works drivers are not allowed to take a reset.

Driver lists and divisional rules can be found on the Championship Standings Page

There is no Red Zone. Moderating will be on reported incidents only. Remember that lap 1 incidents carry an additional penalty place.

The chassis token system is explained on the Works / Privateers standings page. Please ensure you choose a chassis that is within your budget, which can be seen by hovering the mouse over your points total in the standings.

Privateer Drivers are permitted 1 Shift R followed by a Stop & Go in the pit lane within 2 laps. Failure to make a stop will result in a 30 second time penalty. If you require a stop & go on the final lap & are unable to complete a time penalty of 15 secs is added.

Please restrict chat to pit messages including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line

IGOR race list doesn't seem to be working? I've set the practice server off but you will need to join via IP (95.144.125.200).

Sorry Dean. I think we need to do more IP praccy races to develop the best server settings.

Bad luck to those that couldn't join.

Monaco got the better of me once again. Lined up 2nd behind Greg. Pelle made a lightning start behind us and launched into the lead. Greg had a spin at the chicane which vaulted me up back up to second.

Clive nipped at my heels early on but I slowly pulled away. Managed 10 trouble free laps but then my concentration wilted and it was error after error. I made a hash of the chicane which completely ruined the handling of the car. Poor Dave Curtis who allowed me to lap him must of wondered what the hell was happening. I managed three spins in three corners! Gave up at the Gasworks. Best of luck to those still running.

This will be my last race for a while. For whatever reason I haven't been enjoying this season as much as I'd like so I'll be taking an extended break. I'll probably return, I have a history of coming back

.

Many thanks to you all for the racing over the years. It's been a pleasure (hard to believe my first race was 10 years ago!). And to the UKGPL mod team, thank you for organising this league and for your support in helping me moderate the past couple of seasons.

Joining by IP was easy, driving round Monaco 33 times less so. Started 6th, finished 7th, but only by luck. Work travel making it difficult toplay this season, but hope to make the couple... ttfn

Dean, Tris Did you start up Gem and select the 60FPS option before clicking on the GPL button? If you hadn't got the 60FPS option selected you wouldn't have been able to join. I can't think of any other reason why you couldn't join and 12 others could?

I'm sorry for you who could not join us, Monaco is always fun & even more with many on server. Wink

@Samb, I hope I didn't read correctly & we'll see you to the next race, always sad to see someone leave GPL Huh

10 years in GPL is no age, I have run online since the start of 2001...but yes, with breaks

Grats Clive & GT thumbup2

Qual:
No excuses for missing setups for today's race...but whatever they got better laugh

Again I started setting a little on setup & every thing I did today was good. At one point I am 2, improve again...but GT also does better & a little shock when Samb comes & takes my 2nd place...but yes, my qual was driven with 34 laps fuel, so I knew had hit something perfect Cool

Race:
Standing as number 3 on the grid is not so funny when you see a roaring Ferrari by your side & a Brabham in front, when you're sitting in a Honda & would like to pass...but how?
Yes Samb, think it was filled up with Danish dynamite & comes by in slowdown to T1...& what's happening here? GT gives room...I'm in front out of T1 Wink

'Almost' the rest of the race is full speed (unbelievably it went well) only think once i hit the fence a little. Why I said 'almost', start of lap 31 something turns red 8.xx...YARK, fuel, digging around lap 31 & 32 to find there's enough, full speed again on last lap Grin

Delicious when everything succeeded yes

A big thank you to all of you who gave space, a track you can get a little nervous when passing thumbup1

Grats to you all, yes Monaco is a bit tricky sweatdrop

Edit:
Link to Server Replay ?

Edit:
Found it...
here Tongue

I was back home after two days of trekking on Dolomiti just for the start of qualy. My legs and feet were ko, but hey I can't miss Monaco in a Cooper Grin

Joined with 10 minutes to go and tried a clean lap with race fuel, but I was only 10th on the grid. Ok let's see what happens and try to not crash at start.
Axel that started ahead had soon a crash so I was pursuing Phil in another Coopy for many laps trying to put some pressure and not risk too much at the same time. At half distance Phil had a little spin and I was ahead so with less fuel load I started pursuing Rainier in another Coopy that had a steady pace. Soon after Arf and Dave had both a spin so I was 5th with Andreas ahead of 8 sec.
In the meantime Pelle was already lapping me so I tried to push a little more following him to see if I could gain something on Andreas, but at two laps to go Andreas had a problem at S.Devote and he was in view at only two sec. I pushed even more and set my fast lap on last lap but Andreas kept it together and we finished on parade.
It's nice when you manage to nail the chicane for 33 laps Cool

Ciao
