2018 UKGTL CHRISTMAS SPECIAL Grid/server capacity: 14Track: Goodwood GP Circuit Download thisCars allowed: 3 No. Aston Martin DB4's, 1 No. Chevrolet Corvette, 7 No. Ferrari 250 GTO's, 3 No. Jaguar E-Type's. Cars not allocated: 1Practice: ~18:00 (60 mins) Qualifying: 19:00 (30 mins) Race: 19:30 (100 laps) All times are GMT Time of Day Setting: 15:00 Start: STANDING Tyre wear: Normal Fuel consumption: x2 Server: simracing.org.uk XMAS Password: see aboveNotes: (1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage. (2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules. (3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read Autopit="0" Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable. Special Notes: Note early start time.

Car ChoiceEach car has been assigned a random number (01-99) which will not change and is known only to myself. Beginning at 14:00 (GMT) on Sunday, November 4th, drivers wishing to take part, will send me a pm containing one number (01-99). Pm's received will be dealt with on a strict, first come, first served, basis. Pm's received before 14:00 (GMT) on November 4th will be ignored. On receipt of your number, I will assign you a car. This car will be the one that's unique number is closest to your submitted number. If two cars are closest to your submitted number, you will be offered a choice. If the driver is happy with the car allocated to him they will confirm this by pm and their details will be locked into the Car Roster. Drivers who have chosen their car will receive links to the Car Roster and to the Car set download. They will then be able to see what cars other drivers have chosen. If the driver is unhappy with the car allocated to him they will confirm this by pm and submit a new number. Drivers must inform me, as soon as possible, of their decision whether to keep their allocated car or to choose again.This process will repeat until Thirteen cars have been allocated or we reach December 29th (whichever occurs soonest). Drivers should be aware that as time passes, the cars available to them will decrease, due to other drivers accepting their allocation. I will take my choice from any un-allocated car(s)

IMPORTANT
Once you have accepted a car make you will not be allowed to change it, under any circumstances.
You will be able to swop skins if you want to. Please let me know by pm if you decide to choose another, available, skin.
The deadline for any skin swopping will be December 24th.
Thanks

Pit lane speed limit is 40mph (64kph) Pit stop advice is here https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=11812.msg212761#msg212761I would suggest being at pit lane speed before turning off the track to pit and keeping the limiter on until back on the track at pit lane exit. We don't want any S/G penalty's.

A great concept Tony to make the field totally random.

Tony I am trying to get myself organised ( my wife has been trying for 45 yrs, so I don't hold out much hope!!) For the Xmas Special you suggest that we download a zip file and install on a virgin GTL ? But also say that it is NOT necessary and I notice that the "read me" refers to changing some of the car parameters? Am I to assume, that the cars that I currently have installed on my "general use GTL" install will work in the Goodwood race, but that there might be some differences in performance or fuel capacity applied by the server? Therefore if I find the time, and want to have some meaningful practice with no surprises on race night, I should create the fresh install and insert the zip file contents to be sure I am practising with the actual cars that we will be using??

The cars you currently have in your existing GTL install will not work at Goodwood. The server will throw out a message "Car not found" and boot you. The cars supplied in the download have been modified, mainly to provide all cars with similar pit stop options. Installing into a copy of your GTL install can help in identifying problems if they occur. But the download should work ok in an existing GTL install too. The Christmas special cars will co-exist with your existing cars as they install with their own unique folders.

Aha, so any advantage I thought I might have with my car regarding fuel tank capacity has probably been removed For a moment there I was dreaming of stretching stints and avoiding at least one of those race destroying pitstops. I should have known that Tony would be shrewd enough to even things up
