I was going to post the same thing up, as I wondered if anyone was going to be put off by some pretty reasonable lap times floating around the thread.

I'm still pushing a 3:42 and can't seem to break that barrier, but more often than not it's a 3:44.  Only a few weeks back I was doing well to get a 3:47.  Even at that or a slower time it only takes one or two offs from the driver's ahead and you'll be well up the road and forcing them to push even harder to catch up and they'll probably go off again!

It's all time on track that helps and a getting the gearing right for a good top speed.

If anyone is concerned, please do come in a join us, these are practice races, and even when the season starts, at the end of the day its all for enjoyment.  The only way you get better is by driving.  This series is sure helping me.

There doesn't seem any difference for me.... have you tried resetting the path to GPL in Igor Burt?

Also, can you connect to any other 65 races?

Probably the new iRacing contamination filter.   Grin

As Mr Ferrall has said Burt, it's your system that is throwing a hissy fit.

Check that you can join other 65 events, sorry I can't run Gladys because I am not at home.  Come to think of it, she dosen't know about 65s.  Too young.
How many GPL installs do you have?
Is the little racing car red or grey?
Have you tried joining directly via the ip?


We probably need a few more sumptoms explaining.  Go behind the screens and wait for the nurse.

Hi Karliss ,

Did found that at RSC . http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?t=79980&highlight=start+finish+line


So guess your start/finish line probs are indeed videocard-driver related. Try the 162.18  , driver.
AND check you core.ini settings as well . to make sure they fit to your older slower videocard .

Good luck
Nicky Ickx

Yes all seems fine , I just need to sort out a hardwire connection for tomorrow night , which should hopefully stop my connection dropping , and all should be well . All I need to do now is string 9 complete laps together with minimum forays into the hedgerows (Malmédy still catches me out  Embarrassed  ) and I might just not get lapped  Smiley

My bogey corner seems to be moving around track on different days.  It started as La Source, then Masta, then I couldn't do L'Eau Rouge.  Tonight it was Stavelot! For the race it will probably be all of them!  Cheesy

Some good laps with Dave (Jack, Steve, Bob, Frank, Caroline or whatever he's calling himself this hour Wink) tonight.  Good fun  Grin

Had a first proper go at 1965 tonight (ie using proper ratios so I could use 4th and 5th  Smiley ). Great fun.

I think if Papyrus had based the original GPL on 1965 then they would be bigger than Microsoft right now - everyone would have bought it and we would have had sequel after sequel getting bigger and better. 67 was a niche because it required patience to master.  So easy to have fun straight away in the 65 cars - it might feel like I'm pushing the limit, but I suspect that a 3.44 is no great shakes in the 33.

Hello again,

I’ve sorted out my network problems and will be at the race on Thursday Smiley I am a little worried about the laptimes that have been posted, as I’m still not under 4 minutes, but I will be watching my mirrors and will try to keep out of everyone’s way. I think I’m going to have a lonely race at the back, it’ll be fun Smiley

I’ve got a question about the new season, and about the chassis’s, for example the only car I have really used is the Ferrari, so does that means if I pick the Ferrari I’ll be using that for all the races next season, or will I be allocated a chassis?

Last question, what is race fuel for 9 laps? Would 18 litres be enough?

Thursday?  Huh

It's tonight! Tuesday.

I'm using 14 gallons, but I don't look at the amount, just what it tells me in car setup will cover 9 laps.

In case you didn't know (as i didn't until recently) the 65's will tolerate up change of the gears without letting off the gas at all, without sending internal parts into orbit.  Might shave a little time off.

Dave (Jack O'Fs) tip of using the default (downloaded defaults from his link above, not the ones that come with the car).....
Quote
If you're using the defaults from the link above, they can be made quicker at Spa by altering the ratio from 7/31 to perhaps 9/31, though you'll then have to adjust the gears back to something approaching the final drives of the defaults, according to taste. 
Works well as a good starting point and is probably as good as many.

Please don't worry about the laptimes, these races are ideal to improve.  Remember if you need to reset (shift-r) just do it, don't give up the track time.  There is no penalty for shift-r in this race.  Also, don't worry too much for the faster guys, if they do get around to lapping.  It is their resposibilty to get past safely, just hold your line and maybe slow just a little on the straights to let them through, then try and pick up a bit of a tow if you can, but be careful not to outbrake yourself into the next bend and rear end them.  I still brake very early and can catch some people out, normally when I'm getting lapped myslef lol.

See you on track Cheesy

Tonight!!! Smiley

Well I guess I'll see you guys tonight Smiley

I've not been letting off the gas when unchanging (I have damaged engines during long runs, but not destroyed), I'm just slow at the moment.

I have got my own setup which I have been using, it’s nothing special, and probably has too much under steer built in, but I’ve been using it for a week or so now and am comfortable using it, in the future I do need to learn to drive with a more standard setup.

I’ll do my best tonight, just keep myself to myself, and hopefully not cause any crashes.

With no limit on resets and no penalty I'd hope that drivers would make use of them tonight, rather than react hastily to a crash by disconnecting- this is a preseason race which is intended to help me set the season up, so I'd like to have everyone on track for as long as possible.

Al, here's a link to some beginner's setups http://www.neurology-crew.com/gplserver if you want to try them, or just to be able to compare them.  But don't worry about being slow, first aim for consistency and always having the car under control.
