Season 38 – 65F1 Fun Race – Rouen-les-Essarts
A fun race in the 65s to add some Christmas cheer in these rather depressing times. Free choice of chassis, unlimited resets, no stop-and-go in the pit lane necessary.
From its opening in 1950, Rouen-Les-Essarts was recognized as one of Europe's finest circuits, with modern pits, a wide track, and spectator grandstands. The circuit (which ran on public roads) had a few medium straights, a cobbled hairpin turn (Nouveau Monde) at the southernmost tip, and a few blind corners through a wooded hillside. The appeal was greatly enhanced by the climb from Nouveau Monde at 56 metres to Gresil at 149 metres.

Had to select 60fpsv2newmod to get 65mod to run. Is that correct?

Are you joining UKGPL_4 with 60fpsv2newmod? I tested it about an hour ago. I'll check it again.

For season 38, I propose to add 5 seconds per word when chat is used during qualif and race

Thanks for the event & congrats up the front!
Had some fun-filled running for a while with a couple of groups, until spins/crashes saw the end of that. Apologies Phil for collecting you at one point & helping the rest of our group park up for a picnic.
Still, was relieved to have managed to shave 9 seconds off my pre-event pace (& gain 20-25MPH) by finally realising my throttle was only getting to about 85%. A simple recalibration in GPL did the trick! Otherwise I'd have been way adrift.
Cheers all. Dave.

Sorry for the accident Dave and Doni. I was on Eric's tail (I was trying to get close for a draft past on the top straight) when he made a slight mistake at Beauval, I backed off but there was contact and I spun out. Unfortunately Dave couldn't avoid me and a pile-up resulted. I need a bit of practice to work out what the best distance is to follow and still benefit from the tow. Most of the time I was too far back and it felt like I wasn't getting any tow.

It was fun, that Lotus was very quick on the back straight! The Honda was struggling for top speed. I'll have to look at the replay and compare my max speed with the other Hondas. No problem about the contact Dave. I was trying to force you to brake as late as possible so that you would run wide and I could cut back under you on the exit. The plan failed

This track is always beautiful but has her difficulty in the breaking point at the end of back straight, not easy For my problem before I'm curious, I have installed GPL and all the MODS following the guide of Stefan Roess, so the reims folder was modified by some mods and that causes problems, but it is strange, maybe some file into some mods is wrong
Anyway thanks for this fun and see you next!
