Season 40 CANAM - This season we are driving cars from 1966 and 1971 For the first race, we drive in the USA. It seems the obvious place to begin. Bridgehampton was a race track located near Sag Harbor, New York, United States. The circuit opened in 1957, following a series of road races held from 1949 until 1953. It was one of the first permanent road racing venues in the United States, opening after Thompson Speedway, two years after Road America, the year after Watkins Glen International, and the same year as Lime Rock Park and Laguna Seca Raceway. In its early years, Bridgehampton was host to major international series, including the World Sportscar Championship, Can-Am, and NASCAR Grand National. By the early 1970s, the track was used mostly for amateur events, and closed permanently in 1998. ROLLING STARTSRed line is at the exit of T3 onto Millstone Straight.
Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 reported incidents carry an extra 1 place penalty.
ONE reset will be allowed with NO need to make a S&G in the pit lane.Race list | = | iGOR | Server | = | UKGPL_8_60fps | IP Address | = | look in iGOR | Race date | = | 14-01-2022 | | GPL mod | = | CA66 | 60fps Patch | = | 60fpsV2newmod | Track | = | bhampton | Qualification | = | 20:45 UK time -> 45min | Race | = | race starts at ~21:30 UK time | Race length | = | 31 laps | Damage Model | = | INT | Replay | = | [TBA] | https://www.mediafire.com/file/otl52qk41brkx3f/UKGPL_8__60fps.2022.01.14.23.25.rpy.7z/file[/table] Please check the Season 40 details here regarding rules and the CANAM Championship pages here in particular.

Hi Pete,
Im a little confused.. as usual.
Im an reserve but an Amateur, so I realise that i can drive any 66 car.. which im far safer in anyway, Letting me drive the 71s is like giving a chimp an Uzi !!!
but what rack? the link takes me to 2 bridgehamtons. although we are racing the 66 cars, Im guessing that we are using the 67 version of the track ??
Cheers Paul.

It won't matter which graphics option you use, it will work. The important thing is the track directory name. So when you install the track if the directory name is bhampton, you will be OK.

Thanks Phil. Got that. It loads fine.
Nice track another new one for me. At present though it's starting ok at a rock solid 60 fps then dropping to 30.
Had this before, but can't remember how to sort it so having a play. It's my new PC so still has some snags.
I'm using the Elva 289 to practice, can't even see the left hand mirror. Can the 66 cars use virtual mirrors or is that the 71s. Could do with them for both mods.. all helps with safety..
Thanks guys for the help..

Paul your PC falls asleep ( clocks in eco mode ) as it doesn't recognize GPL as a 3D app!
So raise all quality settings to maximum.
Make shure in GEM+ the "disable intel speed step" is checked if you have an intel CPU.

Have you created a graphics profile for each of the gpl executables? If you have forgotten, look here.

I haven't used the virtual mirrors yet as I tend to rely on the FLASHING PRIB to keep me out of danger. I also use a FOV setting of 67degrees so there's absolutely no way of seeing the left-hand mirror.
Paul, I found the best way to get to grips with these big beasts (careful not to put an R in there) is to put the brake bias up to about 62%. It really helps me to turn in under braking. Also, stick at it. At the start of last season I hadn't driven the CanAms very much at all. A bit of practice and I went on to win the championship. Woo hoo.

This is a good read if you want to know more about the CanAms. Here. And this is what all good Pace/Safety cars should look like...

Hi Fulvio,
I also looked. I can find virtual mirrors in the 71 can an folders but not the 66s. I am sure I remember there is a way of getting them, but can't find out how.
Have sorted my pc pretty good now though otherwise. Cheers axel, Phil and Pete. All your advice helped greatly
