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
It looks like the link to Tom Van Ostade's virtual mirrors on his now defunct website for the Can Am 66s are gone.

Hello I just registered for this series (with less than 75% races)
I suppose I will be among the amateurs (by the way I should race with the Genie-Huffaker) ...

I think that I will have trouble with this server and mod.During the race i have found 4 gears working on my Chap. I think that it is the prelude to the cars with 4 or 5 gears but with only 2 working. If this happen i must quit the race. Anyway is not easy to stay on the track with this cars,many exit ,not serious,but enough to loose position.

IMO you have the build files of the CA66 mod in your install...
I made last second setup change - it was wrong...

But Axel ,remeber that in the past i had the same problem with other mod.We have tested,me, you and Phil,that changing server was all ok. Probably i'm the only one that use Fairshift.I have not understood if this could be the origin of the problem with some server. Not on line,all is Ok.

Yes it must be the server.... All other Chaps have the regular 2 gears... You should know that all the track and car specs are on the clients side, a server can't change your car technique

I tried the Lola Ford 427 first but I couldn't keep it on the tarmac so just before the race I decided to try the McLaren-Elva Mk2 Chev 333. It was much easier to extract out of the sand so I decided it was the car for me. I was careful at the start and very wary about putting a wheel on the grass. I was fortunate to make up several places due to drivers making mistakes ahead and after about 10 laps I found myself in P2. I tried to drive carefully because there was no way I was going to catch Tris, he was too fast and miles ahead. The best strategy was to drive within my abilities and let the other drivers make the mistakes. Greg caught me after a few laps, he was much quicker than me but it isn't an easy place to overtake so I figured if I don't make a mistake he'll have to work for his P2. Sure enough he dropped back a few times but eventually he made a great pass on me at T2. I was almost certain he would run wide but he didn't and before long he was well ahead. I'm pleased with a P3, this track was very very tough.

I was happy to swap servers for you but I didn't expect it to make a difference. I don't understand why it should, as Axel has said, all the car software is on the client side. Your gears are OK when joining UKGPL04 but not when joining UKGPL05. But the GPL installation on UKGPL05 was copied from UKGPL04, it wasn't a fresh install. None of it makes any sense to me but whenever I host races for the Privateers I'll use UKGPL04 (unless you are promoted to the Works Fran ).

Grats Phil that was the way to go @ Fran As you can see in GPLRA the server just gets 2 gears of you! PS this is my .../GPL/Mods/GEM+/canm66 folder -> https://www.mediafire.com/file/oqjkvlzi89yzbr5/canm66.7z/filerename your canm66 folder and put mine in and test it!

A good race put in the bin I could stay with Greg, but he and Axel made mistakes soon and I was steady in 2nd with Clive behind till I run wide at T1 and spun. Had to wait in the sand about six cars before rejoin. The car was a bit damage by hit the bush outside so it wasn't so stable, for what stable can do a Canam car Gained some position battling Fran and Pete, sorry Fran I couldn't avoid you rejoining at T2, but again I had an off at T1 and battled with Claudio. Another crash at T1 at 10 lap to go or so and I was stuck in the bush and had to reset, but at least I had a new car even if heavy, made up some position in the end, but not happy at all with myself.

As you can see in GPLRA the server just gets 2 gears of you! Yes i have raced with 2 gears but was possible to me to use the third or fourth gear without hearing the sound of the out of round (normally i hearn this sound). Practically ,entering the third,was like taking off and putting back the second gear. My worry is that, when i will use a car with 4 or 5 gears ,i found only 2 or 3 gears.
