Excellent, many thanks

OMG! What have I been missing. Less that one day and I remember why I was so addicted before!

The all-in-one installer is brilliant - thanks to all concerned.

Now all I have to do is recover at least some of my past (meager) ability.

It will be fun.

Thanks Tony.

Hello,

I have started to run GPL again, and I'm looking to join an original 67 league and a F2 league. As the season is almost at it's end, it might be better to wait for season 26 I guess. But if it's possible to join a few races in the meantime let me know. Just want to have some fun and being competitive again, hotlapping ain't much fun.

Hi Robert, welcome (back?) to UKGPL.

Yes, you are right that the current season is drawing to a close, but that might work in your favour. There will be a break in championship races over the Christmas and New Year and we usually have a load of fun races in that period.
You will be more than welcome to join in any or all of these fun races, just keep an eye on this forum for news of these. You will of course need to have access to IGOR the race server listing, where you will often find a UKGPL practice server which might be a good place to "test" your self against the current drivers without any qualms about races etc.

If you have any questions or probs post on the forum and someone is sure to offer you help and advice.

Hi,

thanks for the welcome and your fast reply. I have never ran in UKGPL, but ran in DSZ/simracing.nl way back in 2002-2003 (started GPL in 2001), and did a few !00% races with MoG in division 2. Focussed more on N2003 leagueracing, but occasionally ran a few GPL races before I quit simracing in 2007. Last winter I started to hotlap a bit, but personal and hardware probs ended that soon.

Started again with GPL few weeks ago, and also tried a few mods, in which F2 seems to be a great formula for close racing. Prolly would like to join 67 works trophy and F2 trophy next season. Surely I will join a few funraces, the IRC channel is #ukgpl right? Also if and when there are spots open for the last two F2 races, I'd be glad to join those. Even with the BT14 not to stir too much dirt in the championship

Never got the most out of GPL, and looking forward to improve myself, but mostly to some old school clean racing.

Hi Robert

Welcome to UKGPL.  I ran the 67 Works Division this season and I'll probably be running it again in Season 26 (not planning any changes to the format so we will be using tokens again).  Please have a look at the championship table (here).  If you click on the flags at the top of each column, a link will take you to each race report.  You will be able to look at the lap and race times to judge how competitive you will be.  If you haven't run GPL since 2007 you will be impressed with the changes, our league was still 100% 67 back then.  The 66 mod, 69 extra, 67 F2 and the improved 65 mod (the early version was out in 2007) are all fantastic not to mention the Sports Cars and Can Ams.

Regards

Phil

Robert,
You are welcome to sign up for the Formula 2 series - we have two races left at Monza & Zandvoort which you will be familiar with.
If you register / vote for F2 & post that you have joined we will get you added. If you are at "Works" standard then please register for the Light Division.
If you take the BT14 you are either incredibly quick or very brave!

[Robert Fleurke]

Hi Phil, Billy,

thanks for the welcome. Phil, thanks, did read myself a bit in, and think I'll fit in fine in the Works Trophy. Will wait for Season 26 I'm very impressed how much GPL is still alive, and prolly will be forever Apart from the mods and updates that I tried/will try, just want to get more out of the original 67 cars and generally improve my driving...

Billy, great, will register for F2 lights then for Monza and Zandy. I'm neither very brave or incredibly quick. Not so bad will do It was my line of thought to run with the BT14 because of not spoiling the championship battle. Just want to run safe and clean and not interfere with title contenders, and the BT14 will pretty much guarantee that  And if and when there are others who (have to) run BT14, it would be good fun! I'll think about it...just want to be prepared well and make a good impression on the track...

BTW could someone give me the #ukgpl chatroom pw, please?

Welcome on board Robert. Good luck whenever, wherever and in whatever you drive.

The chatroom password used to be "savage", but I think that we have dropped any password requirement and you can just jump straight in.


Just in case you are having difficulties getting into chat.....

Some people have had problems getting logged on to the IGOR chatroom ( and that includes a few long time UKGPL members) there appears to be some conflict with modern AV or other software that prevents you joining via IGOR.  But we can still access the same chatroom through VROC without problems.

[Robert Fleurke]

Thanks Ronnie and Clive

Concerning chatroom, in iGOR  it says no such channel/nick. In VROC it works Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Rob, I've been playing offline on and off since about 2001, I used to do the odd race in VROC in the RSC heydays. I would like to join a 67 league but due to work and part-time study commitments, I cannot commit to a full season, is it possible to dip in and out of league races? If I'm honest, I only know a handful of the original tracks only.

Do drivers get to choose cars on a race by race basis?

How exactly does one join a league race anyway? I've got iGOR up now, is it as simple as seeing an appropraite UKGLP server race and joining in?

Questions, questions...
