Season 37 Fun Race – Goodwood - 2 x Short Races
There were some issues with the planned Sports Car race at Goodwood. As such we’d like to give the new Goodwood track a thorough road test with 2 x back to back races with 67F1 & then 67 F2 cars.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE
Pro standard drivers are asked not to take the Lotus or the Eagle for the F1 & not the BT23 or Matra's for F2. No password - open invitation.
Server = UKGPL10 IP = See IGOR Race date = Tuesday 4 August 2020 Time = RACE 1 starts 21.00 UK. Qualifying from approx 20.30 RACE 2 will start after completion of Race 1, with 15 minutes quallifying. Track = goodwd65 Race length = 15 Laps each race. Variant = 1967 60fps patch used 60fpsV2newmod Damage Model = Intermediate Qualifying time = Unlimited Shift R - No Stop & Go.
Races are to be run at 60 frames per second – please use the 60 fps patch. It’s a fun race – try out Teamspeak.
Please restrict chat to pit messages including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

Admittedly late notice but if anyone is interested, UKGPL10 is currently set for a FUN event (NOW!) with sportscars. Practice session underway, race to start 21:30 UK. No password required / not an official event. Cheers, Dave.

As far as we can tell the track has proved safe for both the 67 F1 & F2 cars. If anyone does experience problems in either race can you please report in this thread, explaining what went wrong & where.

crazy fun while it lasted. lap 8. just crossing the start - finish line.
total freeze. not even sound.
had to Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get out.
task manager said that the papyrus window wasnt responding.
lets hope F2 pans out better... server wise ?

With the 67er everyting worked very well. The Qualy with the F2 was also good. But when I hit the green Flag to start the Race the Computer had a Freeze. Strange thing...

Unfortunately there does appear to be a problem with the track that affects all the mods, well the ones we've tried (67F1, 67F2 and SCx). I'm not sure about the 65s (we used them in the Stirling Moss Memorial race) there were discos but no reported screen freezes. So it looks like we won't be able to use this track for league races which is a great shame.
Thanks to everyone who turned up to race, the good attendance made it a thorough test.
Thanks to Dave for providing the server.

Both races ran faultlessly for me with respect to a track test for glitches. Good fps all-round. Goodwood is harder than it might first seem.

Good morning all
Thank you for organizing the race.
No freeze for me on the 2 races, just drops in FPS to report.
See you soon for other tests.

Some good information from Alain. Sad to see this track again making trouble. Stirling Moss was almost disconnected in several places, back in 1962. To reduce the graphic load, and improve framerates, go to : GPL/tracks/goodwd65/UNZIP ME Options_and_info.zip. 1/ Use the Low_Res_addon. 2/ Remove the sounds. Ginetto has been our number 1 track builder for many years, with good reliable tracks until recently. Beta testers reading this, should relay the Summer freeze. Feedback about Online track trouble, may help quell his assistant(s) pushing for maximum everything, at the cost of good racing. If a shorter track draw distance is, or will be made available, another test might be worthwhile.

Thats a very good point. I have NASCAR 2003 and rally trophy, neither worked to their best, if at all, with hardware at the time, a 1g Athlon voodoo 2 era. By the time the hardware caught up the software was not compatible, is it 1.4 or 1.7g that gpl doesn't work without the installer? GPL is for all, not just those who have an i9 and can spend £500 on a gfx card.

Martin, Goodwood is one of my favourite tracks. I was gratified to hear that an updated version had been released & equally saddened to find out there are disconnection issues again. More than happy to sacrifice some of the visual aspects if we can get a functional version that is safe for league racing.
