UKGPL Season 37 (2020) 1955 GP - Spa - Jul 26

[EvilClive]

Thank you Enrique for being so understanding.

Phil....
The Results table shows my car as the Ferrari 555, but I am sure that I used the 625?. I have no setups for the 555 and it would have cost me an extra 2 tokens  . (Far too much to spend upon a Ferrari IMHO  ).
Vast amounts of spare Thornton Dollars like that might come in handy at the end of the season??

Sadly, GPL Weekly has it listed as the 625.  There I was thinking that you had made a blunder.

wot moi?? un faux pas??  To quote Insp Clueseau,  "everything I do is carefully planned"...................................quelques temps.

Thanks for sorting that Axel. The 625 and 555 are hard to distinguish between in the parser, my mistake I mapped it wrong, SRou worked fine. Now Axel has sorted it, future imports should be OK.

Yes Phil the line produced by rpydump to SROU is misunderstandable:

Ferrari 625    Scuderia Ferrari    1955    Ferrari 555/F1 S4    F1-55    464552    

Comes from:
team=Scuderia Ferrari;chassis=Ferrari 625;engine=Ferrari 555/F1 S4;year=1955

I'm greatly disappointed to find that we don't race again until September!

[Phil Thornton]

It's great to see your enthusiasm Clive but I suspect a lot of drivers, never mind the mods, need a break at some point. So why not August when a lot of people will take holidays? Although a staycation is quite likely now, it wasn't when we planned the calendar.

However we will endevour to run a few fun races in the Summer break. Ideally a fun race would be novel and something that we don't normally do. Do you have any suggestions? Perhaps a 55GP race at Targa Florio or the IOM Full Mountain course? Maybe an oval race where the brakes aren't such a factor?

I'm more than happy to run a fun race of your choosing

Guess I should not begrudge the mods their break.      

As for your "novelty" suggestions, LOL, I think that you have managed to pick three things that I would not be interested in! 

As for novelty, perhaps we could adopt a format similar to that used by PDLR recently.  A short "heat" to determine grid positions for the main race and the main race being run in reverse grid order.  Points for both races but the short race has half points.

I'm sure Tago could sort it, so long as he hasn't gone to the coast for August.

Totally happy with your proposal Clive. I can create a race post for you if you want to fill in the details. The normal UKGPL Sunday 21:00 GMT+1 or Tuesday 21:00 GMT+1 slots are available in the next couple of weeks. Which slot do you want? This Sunday?

I'm sure Tago could sort it, so long as he hasn't gone to the coast for August. 

If Tago can provide a server that would be great but I'm happy to provide mine if you like. I assume either you or Tago would organise the drivers on the day and make sure they join the server in the right order?

[Clive Loynes]

I think that it works best if the person running the server controls the order of entry for the second race.  Although I could use my server to be in the iGOR chat room.

I have not yey spoken to Tago with regards to the PDLR server being able to run 60fps.

[Phil Thornton]

OK I'll post a race announcement. Please fill in the details as you see fit and we can sort out the server duties later. What track do you want to use?

[Clive Loynes]

I would go for Aintree and keep to a Sunday night as those who race 55mod already have Sundays ring fenced for racing.

[Phil Thornton]

OK race announcement done see here.  Please add/correct as you see fit.

Slick work Phil.

I will try to play with iGOR tomorrow to invent a pit lane marshal.

Could we please cut qually to ten minutes, and then  allow me 5min ish to sort the grid for the main race.  Plenty of practice time available in the "heat".

It would be useful if people intending to run can post on the race thread.
