Season 38 1965F1 – Round 4 – Amateurs - Killarney
Yes, for those who also take part in the MixOW series, it's Killarney again. Not the one in Ireland, nor the suburb of Johannesburg, but the one near Cape Town named afer a nearby hotel. It first saw F1 cars racing in 1960, when a mixed field was beaten by the two F1 Porsche 718s driven by Stirling Moss and Jo Bonnier. In 1962, Killarney held a non championship F1 race called the Cape Grand Prix. After swapping the lead many times, Trevor Taylor beat Jim Clark over the line in their Lotus 21s. Strong winds blew sand onto the track and several engines were damaged. F1 racing never returned, but the track is still in use today. This track was recreated for GPL by UKGPL's own Francesco Molteni.

open GEM+ and uncheck the 64 track limit checkbox right bottom

Thanks Axel I did uncheck the 64 tracks and click the OK button . But when I exit GEM it defaults back to enforce 64 tracks limit again and I get the same message from the install Puzzle

Why don't you just remove some of the tracks you don't use a lot. Just open up Season Manager, open up the season, click on a track you don't drive much and click the left arrow button, it removes the selected track from the season but doesn't uninstall it so you can still use it in other seasons and if necessary you can put it back at a later date.

GEM+ has the option to ask if it should save the changes when you leave it
you denie and install the track.

I'm looking forward to this race. Such a great track. I'm trying to use a different car each race so this time it's between the Ferrari or the Lotus. I may end up flipping a coin just before qualifying as I really can't make my mind up. See you there.
UPDATE: It's the BRM. I had a change of heart.

That was quite a busy race. I lost a place in the early laps when I missed gear and went wide on the last big loop. It took me a few laps to get back on terms and then I had a great battle with David, Dave and Eric. I had to work hard to get past, everyone was very evenly matched so I needed a couple of mistakes and a hard braking pass into T1 to get through. Good clean racing from everyone.
Grats to the podium. Pleased to see Philippe didn't have a screen freeze. Well done Pete on another impressive drive in another chassis. Great to see Leo get a podium after some bad luck in recent races.

Yes Phil, finaly . Guess I was easier on the engine. Didn't have a good start, the engine sounds of the others were so loud I stalled mine, alowing Pete to take second. Then it was a nice chace, the BRM being so strong on aceleration and I closing in the slower corners. Congrats all!

thank you phil for your message. I am obviously very happy with my race night. but I have to admit that I was stressed because I had a freeze during the training session. so during the whole race, if I had an olive stuck somewhere on me, I would have made 2 liters of oil. I was very scared. but it ended well, and i'm glad.Congratulations to all the finishers, especially to the lapped drivers . Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Hi Phil. Yes, another fun evening, this time in the BRM. I'd done some practice-laps earlier in the week in the Ferrari and the Lotus but I decided to take the BRM for a blast instead. As Leo says, it has plenty of speed but he filled my mirrors on some of the slower corners. I made a perfect start, leap-frogging him into second which I managed to hold on to for the next 33 laps. Phillipe was frustratingly close for the first half of the race and the gap between us did not change. At the mid-way point of the race, he made a mistake on the slowest hairpin and I thought that would give me the opportunity to catch him but I then lost concentration and almost made the same mistake on the following lap. So easy to lose concentration and your rhythm. I then watched him pull away for the rest of the race and all I could do was make sure that I kept a safe distance ahead of Leo.
So, quite a lonely race in some ways but still a lot of fun at this fantastic track. I just LOVE these 65 cars - they're so much fun to race. Well done to all finishers and to the back markers for keeping out of the way at all of the right places. A really high standard of driving yesterday at Killarney from everyone with really close lap-times.
FREEZES. Yes, I had a couple in practice during the week. They occurred as exiting the pits. I did not have one in the race yesterday but I did have one whilst in the pits (I was looking at the race detail page and not sitting in the car) during qualifying. I've never experienced that before. I wish I knew what caused these as they are so frustrating. It must be a graphics issue. My guess is that my freeze occurred as the PC was trying to draw other drivers' cars in the replay/preview window as they were still on track. Again, the pits were in the background so perhaps it's something in that area of the track. Who knows? All I can do is pass on my observations and hope that one of the the GPL Guru's can find a definitive answer to this problem.
See you next time, wherever that may be...

Just couldn't find the right balance of set up for the 65 cars with the new wheel. My PB at this track is about 2 seconds faster than I qualified last night. First few laps weren't too bad but then I made several unforced errors so I bailed out. Hopefully I'll have worked things out for the next race.
