UKGPL Season 38 (Spring 2021) 1965 F1 - Amateurs - Sandown - Jun 20

Season 38 1965F1 – Round 7 – Amateurs - Sandown

Please note: this is a re-run of Round 7 using the stable version of Sandown.
We are running this race on a Sunday to avoid any clashes with the UEFA Euro 2020 fixtures.

Round 7 finds us in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. To be precise in the suburb of Springvale, approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi) south east of the city centre. Sandown Raceway was first opened in 1962. The opening meeting, held on 11 and 12 March, featured the Sandown International Cup, which was contested by world-famous international drivers including Jack Brabham, Jim Clark, Stirling Moss, Bruce McLaren and John Surtees. A second Sandown International Cup was held in 1963. The race that became the Sandown 500 was held for the first time in 1964. The circuit hosted its first Australian Touring Car Championship race in 1965. A round of the annual Tasman Series was held at Sandown from 1964 to 1975. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s the race meetings continued to attract international stars along with the best of Australia's drivers. Australia's traditional Holden/Ford rivalry really surfaced at the track in the late 1960s and through the 1970s with drivers such as Norm Beechey, Ian Geoghegan, Allan Moffat, Bob Jane, Colin Bond and Peter Brock and continues to the present day. From 1968 to 1980 almost every major touring car race held at the circuit was won be those driving either a Holden or a Ford.

Opps. The Sunday races are finished so looking at the Euro2021 fixtures, rerunning the races on Sunday 20 June would be best. There are no matches with a 20:00 BST (CET +1) kick off. So that would be best for most drivers. Unless someone has a huge objection, I'll move the re-runs.

[Pete Bennett]

Sundays are not great for me but I'm happy to go with the majority.

(p.s. What is football? I heard about it once but got confused)

I'm not a huge football fan either but I will watch the free-to-air matches. I'd not bother if it was pay-per-view, but if England are in the final I'll probably go to the pub to watch it (assuming it is allowed and COVID doesn't stop it).

[Rainier]

(p.s. What is football? I heard about it once but got confused)

Soccer, Calcio, Fußball, Futebol, كرة القدم, футбол, piłka nożna, Balle au pied...   

I heard there is another sport named "football" in some countries where you can also use the hands   

[Pete Bennett]

How about a test race first using Lee's No Freeze patch at Sandown 68?

[Phil Thornton]

I'd rather use the Sandown version for the re-run. It is the track that was proposed in the preseason preparations anyway, I entered the wrong version in the registration thread.

However, a fun race with Sandown68 would be a good idea. It would certainly be a good test of the patch.

Germany has a football team

I heard there is another sport named "football" in some countries where you can also use the hands   

That would be Rugby Football or Rugby League ,Rugby Union , Irish Football, Aussie rules Football , except German Rugby Football where they have No Hans  & Mercedes F1 Football where they allow Hanse 

[Pete Bennett]

Another thing which confuses me is that we don't have Euros in the UK. We have pounds and pence. I didn't think we were in Europe either ?

I'll never understand team sports.

[Phil Thornton]

Practice server is up on iGOR if anyone would prefer test their connections instead of watching the football.

This is a more stable track but it will still be worth using the new Track Gap Freeze Fix Patch

[Billy Nobrakes]

What does the part in red actually mean?

"As usual, you can put the patch in the mod's physics directory, the mod physics' Options directory, or the GPLSecrets/GEM+/Options directory.  Delete the original mod .exe and check the patch in GEM+ to rebuild the mod .exe."

[Phil Thornton]

You have to delete the executable GEM builds. In this case it is gplc65.exe. This is the only way to guarantee the patch will be applied. GEM doesn't always rebuild the executables.

It is the same for all the patches, including the Pit Stop patch. The guide for the Pit Stop patch shows how to delete the executables.

Don't delete the gpl.exe. That is the original one that GEM patches. You can safely delete all the others.
