Season 40 takes us on a Scandinavian based competition with a few excursions into other Northern countries. The third race of this season will be Anderstorp 73 .The Scandinavian Raceway at Anderstorp in Sweden. It has a long straight (called Flight Straight, which was also used as a 980 metres (3,220 ft) aircraft runway as well as several banked corners, making car setup an engineering compromise. Unusually, the pit lane is located halfway round the lap. The full time drivers can start to practice as soon as the server is available. Reserve drivers can also join as soon as the server becomes available but must leave the server with 35 minutes of qualifying left, for a total of 5 minutes; this will allow any remaining full timers to join. If there is enough space on the grid, the reserve drivers will be able to rejoin when there are 30 mins of qualifying left. HandicappingDrivers are required to drive all 7 cars and no car can be driven more than twice.Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 reported incidents carry an extra 1 place penalty.
Unlimited resets will be allowed with no need to make a S&G in the pit lane.| Race list | = | iGOR | | Server | = | UKGPL10 | | IP Address | = | 217.155.118.41 | | Race date | = | 08-02-2022 | | | GPL mod | = | 65 | | 60fps Patch | = | 60fpsV2newmod | | Track | = | atorp | | Qualification | = | 20:45 UK time -> 45min | | Race | = | race starts at ~21:30 UK time | | Race length | = | ~45 min -> 28 laps | | Damage Model | = | INT | | Replay | = | Here |

didnt even get across the start line before im confronted with spinning and wrecking cars. a few laps in and some more spins, nudges and mishaps see me dropped right back and im only a lap or two into the race.
Im not really fast enough to be a contender but love to race for the fun of it and my love of GPL. racing with you guys is fun. But i just couldnt be driving around at the back waiting to be lapped in yet another race.
So went for a nice cuppa.

There were a few bumps at the start. Not sure who / why etc. have not seen the replay. My internet packed up about lap 9 or 10. Bit of a shame as the BT11 is my preferred chassis and I was semi competitive.
Paul, you seemed on the pace for the first few laps - in an underpowered Cooper. Your pace looks to have improved this season.
I'll take your advice and get a cuppa.

When I got on the grid, on my shifter the first gear was "on ", then the car moove in front from around one meter !so I do back gear to be at the right place at start before the flag man moove.....I let pass L.M. to be shure to don't get any advantage of my stupid moove, I don't toutch anything, just my shifter was not in neutral !!!....I think that I finish second but to be confirm on the reaplay....exept if the moderators agree with the disqualification !?.....

You still had 3 laps counted. Did you failed to pit in? |

From manual:
"Black: Displayed only at the start/finish line. Indicates that you have violated a rule and must report to your pit for additional information. There are three conditions under which you will receive a black flag:
Jumped Start: If your car rolls too far out of your starting block before the green flag falls, you will be penalized according to the severity of the infraction. You will see the black flag, after which you must enter your pit stall and wait until the penalty board disappears. The time that you must wait will be appropriate to the advantage you gained from jumping the start. You have several laps to enter the pits and receive this penalty after being given the black flag. If you fail to do so, race control will stop scoring you and you will be disqualified.
Backwards Travel: If you travel in a direction counter to race traffic for too long (and it doesn't take long, so when you spin, make sure you get your bearings before re-joining the track), you will be disqualified from the session.
Cut Course: If you short-cut the course (that is, gain an advantage from driving across an area that is not a part of the race track proper) during the race, you will receive a black flag stop-and-wait penalty. You must enter your pit stall and wait until the penalty board disappears before rejoining the race. If you short-cut the circuit in a Practice session, the time for that lap is simply thrown out."

First of all congratulations to those who managed to get on the podium. I think they and two or three guys are on another level, which encourages me to constantly improve myself. I was pleasantly surprised to be in the top 10 in the classification. I started, as I always do, with one eye on the flag and the other on the car in front. I kept my position at the start, but on the last corner of the first lap I spun completely. I was very lucky, I didn't hit anyone, but I lost a position to Philippe who was coming very strong with the Cooper. I was able to recover the position, but I lost a place again when Evil passed me with the Honda and it was impossible for me to keep up with him. After 10 or 12 laps I was able to pull away from Philippe, but a Ferrari was getting bigger in the mirrors.It was Fulvio, who followed me like a shadow until the end, only by pushing the rpm up to 10500 laps I was able to keep my position. Thanks for organising these races.

Never mind the result, the race was fantastic. Just a quick thank you to Phillipe, Bastian and Dave R for their company. Some really close racing there and a lot of respect for everyone's driving. It was a pleasure from beginning to end. Thank you.

Ok ! I'm DQ !! ... the rules are the rules ....but I am very sad that the Moderators apply to the letter the GPL rules ....as anybody can see on the replay, I didn't steal the start , more, I take voluntarily a poor start to not take any advantage of my pole position ... so why should I be punish for this ?... where is the fun ?... I was hopping for a little more flexibility from UKGPL ....hum! very disappointed !...

The rules are the same for you, me and everyone else and this has always been the case. This rule is part of the game we have never tried to bypass it. The only occasion the moderators would ever consider overruling a DQ awarded by the game is if it was as a result of network issues (or a track configuration in the case of driving the wrong way around the track whilst trying to re-join from the scenery). This was not the case here. You could have avoided the DQ by doing what the game asks, i.e. serving a time penalty in the pit stall. Always keep your foot on the brake when you join the grid and if the game shows you a black flag, please serve the required time penalty in the pit stall. |

Try using the clutch threshold pal. You will have less of an advantage but will have no surprise at starts. Show some respect to ones who put up their own time to organize these for some guys that just show up for race. |

Show some respect to ones who put up their own time to organize these for some guys that just show up for race. ....well Leo, I don't know why you said this ! ... I don't disrespect anyone , I just tel my feeling about a situation that I feel unfair, because in fact I didn't steal the start so for my point of vue it's not a anticipate start and I don't take any advantage at start and of my pole position ... it's only because the game ( a machine ! ) said that I steal the start ? it's just like I give a false information to the machine ... that's why I was hopping for a milder punishment ( for example the time that I should have spend in the pits and 10s more ...deducted from my final time !? ) ... the rules can change .... no ? ( ...and you know Leo , I am racing in UKGPL for quite a few years , I'm not a tourist just show up for race I practice every days on the UK server ( I don't see so much people there ! ), and I have a total respect for all Moderators , and to be disappointed is not disrespect !) ... the rules are the rules ....but I am very sad that the Moderators apply to the letter the GPL rules ....
The only occasion the moderators would ever consider overruling a DQ awarded by the game is if it was as a result of network issues (or a track configuration in the case of driving the wrong way around the track whilst trying to re-join from the scenery). ... so sometime you go against the Machine GPL .... compare to drive the wrong way trying to rejoin the track when you don't know exactly where you are ...to the right ? ...to the left ?....black flag is normal ....! my start was safe I don't gain any centimeter and I purposely lost ground Anyways, big thanks and bravo for your job in UKGPL ....long life UKGPL ! |
