Hi Pete,


I would like to ride with you in 65 if possible.

Thank you and happy new year to all Smiley



Thank you

done  

Hi Paul. At least you got on. For some reason, and despite working just fine earlier, I could not join my own server with my GPL rig. So annoying. Timed out every time. Still, I'm being a spectator in Will's room and watching him race instead.

I'm also puzzled as to how a Honda got on the grid as the Honda and Ferrari were greyed out in Igor.

Anyway, back to the action on Wills screen. Go Team Tobo

I've uploaded the results but I stupidly assigned S Zampedri to the wrong driver name in LM2. Can a 'Super-Moderator' please put correct? I put G Jonnsson by mistake in my haste to upload.

I'll have a look now Pete.

I couldnt see the IP address of the server. I know its somewhere but in my panic couldnt find it.  

I have a list of IPs in the Address book on GPL when joining via IP.. tried all of them with the correct password etc, all to no avail.

but 2 mins before the start time the server appearted in iGor and I got on. Only to find I had no setup. had joined as the wrong driver.  At this point I couldnt see much else going wrong,

but boy was I wrong there. got on the server again by the skin of my teeth. modified the setup as best as possible, fuel, steering ratio and clicked 1st gear down one and 6th gear up one... and went racing.  

OK, not the best of starts, but they are easier from the back anyway. shame myself and others got caught in the start mess. No blame from me , As its a given for GPL if your at the rear at most starts like I am usually. If you dont run into a bad start its normal that one only has to wait until turn 1.. lol.  but after all the faffing about I had already had, I had to tell myself this wouldnt be much fun again.  

so I chased along at the back as best as I could, had a little bit of racing, but generally boring until the excitement of a smoking engine, this being the most interesting thing to happen to me at Aintree so far.. tried to reset the car with my cleverly mapped " replace smokey engine button" oopppps.. no worky!  tried to reset correctly with a "Shift R"  again no worky !!!

so sorry if I got in the way of anyone. mainly Dave C I think. sorry mate.  

I just hoped that as Im trying hard to actually do well this season I just had to carry on and get some points at least.  And as I stated as a young Man, "One has to first finish. to finish 1st"   although I think Churchill or someone said they said it first..  

So at least I added something realistic to GPL tonight. an injured straggler making its way home.. I actually took the checkered flag as I crept over the finish line. all in all still fun.

Thats GPL for ya !!  

cheers for Hosting Pete. thanks for a good evening guys.


  

Thanks all, that was an awesome start to the season.
Great Racing with Bob and Phil for quite a few laps which was great fun

See you at the next one
