UKGPL Season 16 (2008) - Mexico City - Dec 21

[Clive Loynes]

Is H doing this one?

If he takes the slowest car then I generally need the fastest one to keep him in sight.

I've tried the Brab, BRM and Ferrari.  My times are currently 1:40.07, 1:42.2 and 1:40.7 respectively.

Any ideas on a benchmark H?    Get yourself in that lovely Lotus 63 and tell us where it's at please.


Vos server looks good by the way.  Pinging at 69 and lag bar nice and low.

I was planning to do it but I won't be available. Enjoy the race and Happy Holidays all!

So,  that puts you in the BRM then Clive?

"Bathtub Racing Marque"

Rather apt for a Soggie, don't you think?
We can circulate at the back of the field and pick up any stragglers...lol.

How the hell anyone got the BRM down to a lap of 1:39 is way beyond my comprehension. Alien DNA does not even begin to explain it!!!

Hah!

I need something at least a second a lap faster than your tub! 

If Paul shows up we may both have to reconsider car selection.

And since when was Bristol in the USA?  You are flying the wrong flag on iGOR!

if there is space and no-one minds a slow one at the back, then I would like to give it a go

You're more than welcome Peter.  I suggest you take a quick car .  I use the Matra with the default settings, you'd be OK in that.  Just adjust the fuel level and you should be fine.

Ditto.  But no doubt slower than Phil

[maestro57]

cheers

Gutted.

Left the server to clear my windows and it wouldn't let me back in. Communication Breakdown.

Better luck next time.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

Whoops. Qualified 4th and really enjoyed the 49b around Mexico. Jumped onto the grid then thought "Oh no - fuel!" Pressed escape and checked my fuel (I had enough anyway), but then found you only get one shot at joining the grid on GPL so I missed the race. Not ideal when part of the reason to race was to stress test the server. Sorry!

[b_1_rd]

I crashed on the tyres with 3 minutes left of practice, got booted with an error screen!  Tried numerous times to rejoin, it just timed out each time.

As a last resort went to reboot but race had started by time I got up online again.

[Craig Thomas]

Sorry, I missed it but we are having a blizzard and had to take the wife to the grocery store for provisions LOL We didn't make it back in time to join...
We're getting 3"-5" of snow with 20-30 mph wind gusting to 50 mph
It's a good night to hunker down with a gin & tonic LOL
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

[NickyIckx]

  hope ya survived the blizzard Craig .

Mery Christmas everyone

Plenty of rooky mistakes from me there :'( Lost concentration when leaders came back to me after a s/g I think and blew me 1st engine whilst looking in me mirrors. 2nd Engine went whilst daydreaming. Both times I attempted a s/g but missed pit lane so did it on main straight instead. Not very bright and will learn will pit entry for further events now

I had no lag but one of the leaders (I'll remember your names in about a year I spect) appeared to be driving though the tyres on inside of corners. I've learnt that that is tricky so I guess alls not perfect? No lag to speak of though.

Much better track than Zandy for me and I enjoyed that. Congrats to podium and have a merry Christmas all. Cya in 2009

Well that was the first race that we've used Vosblod's server and the first time Vosblod has started a league race.  So firstly a big thanks to him, the server was very good.  Everyone I chatted to has a good connection with no lag so a big improvement over the 69 race at Zanty last week.

On to the race.  Well first an apology to Geoff, I clipped him at the start after asking everyone to take it easy .  Having said that, the grid was set 2x2 instead of the ideal setting of 1x1 staggered.  I think loose grids are even more important with the 69 cars as they start so quickly.  Rest of my race was characterized by silly mistakes and spins. 

Have a great xmas gents.  I'll set up some polls so you can express your opinions and the mods can use the results to plan season 17 .
