Grats to the podium and survivors.

Things are gradually improving with me and my new wheel. Slowly ( very slowly some of you might say ) I am getting things sorted. I was perplexed by the appearance, or non appearance,  of the FF in various of the series that we run at UKGTL  I have been wading through the various settings within the .plr file and finding out what they do.

I have followed Tony's advice regarding separate installs for each series and somewhere along that process I must have copied a .plr file from a different source ( maybe even offered by one of the members?). Because I have discovered that in some series the FF is actually turned OFF, so no amount of adjustment within GTL/CONTROLS or with the wheel software was going to have any impact.
This was the case for last night's 50's race. A quick practice late afternoon indicated no FF, so during pre race practice I delved into the .plr and switched FF ON. Much better  Wink
My setup was based upon an older Aston Martin DB2  setup but it soon proved to be unsuitable for those fast sweeping corners at Spa. Several tweaks etc improved things but by the start of the race I still had a rear left tyre that insisted on melting with minimum provocation. This made accelerating hard out of corners a risky business and that was what caught me out exiting Malmedy which set up a tank slapper that fired  me up the outer grass bank.

Despite the early exit I was much happier with my pace ( and driving ) getting up to 4th place at one point. things are looking up at long last  Roll Eyes
I think this is the first time that I have left a race after a collision with a Steam Engine!!!  Shocked

I noticed after the race that I have two accounts here, namely, Robby82 and RobbyGTL. If one goes up here and clicks on my name and then goes to the Monday Monza results it is the other account, The upshot is Help! oops
That's because you created a second lobby account (remember?). At least the results and championship are working ok. I think you will need to live with it; I have not yet found a way to work around it.

EDIT: I think it's fixed now.

Tough race. I knew it was going to be hard but i was not prepared for the car's behavior after the middle of the race. I had large amount of understeer because the fronts were wearing a little bit faster and problems on acceleration because the rears were not at their best shape as well. I don't think i was going to win if it wasn't for Hristo's DNF.

Grats to Coyote and Fulvio on their podiums and all survivors. Amazing determination from Tony.

Apart from the first lap, it was a very lonely and uneventful race.

DD got a terrible start, falling behind.  Surprised to see Dan pass me on L1, proceeding in true alien speed, with which I couldn't keep up.  DD caught up, apparently having much more grip through the corners and was soon past & gone.   As race proceeded, I had big gaps in front & behind, so no hope of further progress, and 2nd was secure, if I could avoid falling off the edge of the world, like Dan & Hristo seemed to do.

Grats to DD on the win & Fulvio for podium.  Commiserations to all who fell by the wayside.

Result


Cool

Always liked the 60s versions of Spa, especially in these cars.
Unfortunately very often my first lap in practice is my fastest one.
Race sadly ended in no man's land.
