I tried track offline and on server UKGPL, just few laps with no problems at all maybe the problem is full grid? Tomorrow I am in for test

The purpose of the test was to check the stability of the track and in my case I had no problems at all. I used to get CTD at Woodcote but I had no problems this time. I pushed very hard (too hard for a proper race) to check the patch because I found that the CTD used to happen for me when I went wide at Woodcote. I did it lots of times in this race and had no graphics problems.
I think David Rainier didn't have the patch installed and he didn't CTD either so I'm not sure if we have conclusively proved anything with this test.
However, on the strength of this test I think it is probably worth giving this track another go for a league race. Does anyone agree?

No probs for me either as far as CTD's or graphics are concerned. But I think many drivers were more interested in swapping paint samples lol.
I think that we should try this circuit again as Goodwood always gives good racing. Maybe with Xmas coming soon, we can give it a hammering with some fun races??

Yes, with the patch no problems here in some sessions, so let's give it a go.

I confirm, I didn't install the patch. No CTD, no freeze but low fps on the second part of the track : around 40 fps and even 30 fps on the chicane before the starting line.

No frame rate issues for me, a solid 60fps. So perhaps the shorter draw distances in the patch help with the frame rate too?

I give Ginetto a positive feedback so he will release the patch soon. The patch reduces the drawing distances so it may help with the low fps problem. Look at SRMZ for it. Next Racepost will be with the patch I suppose

The Mixed Open Wheel race is scheduled for Goodwood next week.
I wasn't sure how many drivers were going to attend. I deliberately didn't use the patch to even up the number of drivers using / not using the patch.
No problems with CTD or frame rates & I span off at Woodcote on a couple of occasions.
The only drivers not to complete race distance were Cookie & Evil - neither of whom haver reported problems.
On that basis I propose we use Goodwood next week. I can a link to the patch in the race post - ideal if Ginetto can post of SRMX in the next few days. (And thanks for creating such a brilliant track!)
Hopefully some of the overtaking will be a little less gung-ho next Tuesday.

Looked good here. A real baptism of fire for my new wheel. Cornering side by side with Fulvio and Dave on the first 2 laps. Brave lads! Apology to Billy for the smoke screen. Congrats. to Andreas the 4th in the faster, lightweght Ferrari. Ten years ago, Tommie made the F2 Ferrari model, but it was not finished. Ten years later, the small block Chevy can now be replaced by a smaller Tasman motor. I hope we can test Montjuich 69 as it's a championship track, and may cause problems. Slightly more accurate layout, so it's a new track, to replace the original.

No problems either here without patch and solid 60 fps all along. Nice battle with a fast Lotus that gifted me 2nd cause too many mistakes. By the way I ended with vapours on the last lap. Better do the math before nest race... About low fps. This summer I shifted from my old ATI HD5770 1 gb to a less old Nvidia GTX 660 2gb and had to set it properly to not have fps drops with GPL. On iRacing I had a nice improvement with 2 gb RAM, but on GPL they are useless and I had to force max power performance, disable thread optimization and disable Vsinc in Control Panel. I can run AA at 4x without trasparency and FXAA. Even no more than 70% details in GPL options helps on heavy tracks or Mods like SC. I have Win10 and the last ver 2004 is more invasive than previous. In Setting, Privacy I disabled all App in background and before to race I disable and stop Win Update Service with services.msc , that regularly restart after a Win restart. I put also High Performance in Control Panel/ Power saving options to run the CPU at high frequency. Hope it helps

I lost my connection 10 minute after the race.. so I write now my report Solid 60FPS for me all over the track and no problem at all, not even in traffic also No patch installed (I didn't even know it existed..)
I use chat disable in practice/race because in the past it caused me some problems but I dont' remember the value that I've changed in shift.ini, I remember that caused FPS big falls of FPS, maybe someone has this problem

Ten years later, the small block Chevy can now be replaced by a smaller Tasman motor. Jo, I was actually the fastest in the Ferrari, maybe because I was the only one. I was surprised that I was the only one with Ferrari. On the technical side no problems here. Maybe it's also because of the cool Linux.
