Hello

Very good idea, I would be there.

Thank you

The smell of burning rubber from the cockpit, gives me hope someone is burning some of the wretched Polo's at this track!  None have disappeared yet.

I was thinking of taking part on Sunday. But unfortunately I found a few mistakes. Something is blocking the view of the 71 Ferrari and the 66 Lola only has 2 gears. Can anyone say anything about this?

[maddog]

Try a different Lola Andreas.  There is a nice red one, but it is fast and dangerous.

No idea what's with your Ferrari, the 425ci Lola has only 2 gears that is correct - the 305ci has 5 gears

Practice Server is up on iGOR - you can join with both mods 66 and 71 !!!

No idea what's with your Ferrari,...

Well, it's hard to explain. But 1 Picture says more than 1000 Words. So I am trying to post a Screenshot. https://ibb.co/yk9hQ36

I think you should clean your windshield ! 

Never saw that, I will try with my install...

[maddog]

Your view is too far back in the Ferrari.  Move forward to where a driver sits in the car.  Lying on the motor is too hot to stay there many laps!

[AnGex]

Yeah Martin, that was the trick.  Was not aware of that Seat-Position. 

[maddog]

I've seen the real ones at Goodwood Historics, and they are big, and VERY wide cars!  This is the only Mod where I use unrealistic virtual mirrors.  A very wide angle setting (FOV), is dangerous for Online racing.  Hotlapping as Andreas, will work for some cars, but Virtual is better.

Managed to get the 66 and 71 installations running OK and joined the server with the quickest 66 car. Axel, Andreas and Martin were on with 71 cars. The speed difference is significant. It made me think just how fast technology progressed in the 50s and 60s. The difference in performance between the 55GP cars and the CanAM 66s in just 11 years of development is amazing. It's one of the things I like about the GPL mods, it allows us to compare cars of different eras in the same environment. Great fun.

If somebody knows Singion Hawk (he's hosting that one fun server), would anybody mind if he joins us today? I can ensure that he's a good guy and a fair racer, but he isn't registered or anything yet. Plus he would probably stream the race!
