Handicapping

"Works" drivers will carry extra weight in form of 10 gallons of race fuel (to remain in the tank after the race). No limit in quali!
Drivers are expected to behave in a fair and gentlemanly fashion and declare how much fuel they have left after the race.

In order to ensure there will be ~10 gallons of fuel left after the race, the minimum race fuel load for Works is expected to be:

• Lola T70 = 29 gallons (~110 litres)
• Ferrari P4 = 30 gallons (~114 litres)

4 x resets will be allowed there is no need to carry out a Stop and Go in the pit lane if you make a Shift-R.

Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 incidents carry an extra 1 place penalty.
Only reported incidents will be moderated.

Please restrict chat to emergency messages only including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

With such a long lap, are there any rules regarding qualifying?

[Cookie]

Yes, you shouldn't start a full lap with less than 10 min to go,
like Targa you have only 10 min time after end session of Q

[Doni Yourth]

FYI...

Did a lap in the Lola yesterday coming in with a time just under 21 minutes.  Used only 5-1/2 USG.  No resets.

[Pete Bennett]

This track is so tough mentally. It's hard work concentrating for 2 laps. I'll just be happy to finish in one piece.

[GregT]

Used only 5-1/2 USG.

I only needed 5-1/2 resets for one lap.

This track is so tough mentally. It's hard work concentrating for 2 laps. I'll just be happy to finish in one piece.

I'll be lucky to finish. 4 resets might be far from generous enough to allow me to finish.

I also get scared whenever I reach 160 mph. I know catastrophe is going to strike soon.

[Pete Bennett]

Any chance of starting the server early as it takes 8 minutes for the track to load on my Linux system.

[Cookie]

I will,
~ 20:30 UK time
- I start the server version (extreme light) 6min min before to be online 20:30

 yes it loads slow too here. Lots of mips...

Mr Gates and a +***??!! Win 10 update appear to have scrambled my GEM/IGOR.....again!!

I have reloaded GEM/IGOR and now I can access GEM and all the car mods/drivers, but Igor refuses to load properly and therefore I have no RACELIST. ( I get a message about "access violation in IGOR.exe" ??).
Also I have lost the latest IP for Igor, can someone remind me of the correct address?

[ RaceListServers ]
IP                        = igor.gplrank.info

IMO you can't copy the gplsecrets folder as it has been registered in Win  when installed

so

you should run the GEMPackage_2.5.0.32.exe again

[EvilClive]

Something very odd is happening and I cannot find where the problem lies.

I deleted my old GPL secrets folder and I have re-installed GEM 2.5.0.32.

Allowed Gem to rebuild the .exe files

All carsets and players available.

Configured the IGOR button and pointed it at the Igor.exe

Clicked the IGOR button and get the Win10  "Access violation" message again, but when I cancel that message, the Igor screen appears.

Igor chat starts and seems OK.

The racelist takes around a minute to populate ( normally that is almost instant?? ) and all of the race servers are shown as NOT AVAILABLE to join, even though I know that the circuits and mods are loaded in GEM.

ATM I can at least see the IP address for tonight's race, so I should be able to join via the GPL Multiplayer route.

i had a massive  win10 update Yesterday and i was worried about, but all seems ok. Evil i had the same tour message at IGOr startup time ago, and i could't joint races . I discoveredwas related to directories access permissions. Maybe you Lost your permissions with the update, try to allow indicizzation of your GPL folder and your track directory.

@Clive

sometimes the GEMinstallet makes stupid path to the gpl folder - so please check in igor options if the path is correct

You can open the track offline before the server starts and it will usually load much quicker the 2nd time it is opened.

[fpolicardi]

I get booted every time I enter on car in pit, offline it works.
