A big smile cos i could join without problems and some great racing with the red things of Fulvio, Norbert also N hance and Roguk although i tried my best to upset there party. We traded places a few times though I didnt really have enough steam to get close enough to worry either of them and it was mostly the changing fortunes of racing which led to any passing or being passed Was actually in P4 at one time but then threw the place away by overambitious driving in my attempts to get to P3 ( I could smell the podium but as we know, smelling and tasting are not quite the same thing ) My car was good and fast in the twisties but on the long straight it was pathetic and coudnt get near enough to anyone to get alongside into Tarzan and make a place , apart from just one brown trouser moment when norbert dived inside of N hance and i followed him through , looking at my replay it seems Nhance slowed to give room to norbert and I was close to him but slid wide across the infield , think there may have been some warp contact as nHance suddenly jumps left and spins out though my replay shows no physical contact was made between the cars . Lap 20 and in my effort to get back with the lead pack (after another off) I go past p meastro into tarzan and get into one fantastic power slide around the hairpin , just wish I could repeat the manouvre at will cos im sure my section time was world record status . Grats to Tussman, Nicky , and Norm for his solid drive into 3rd whose driving has improved no end since signing on with UKGPL Looking forward to Aussie and the sunshine of Adalaide

So, Finlay I got the win I was longing for.
It was really a very "easy" race for me. I just got Poole, took the start, took it easy and slow for a couple of laps, then left everybody behind, set fastest lap of the race and won the race. (I intend to do the same at Adelaide hihi). The only worry was lapping people but I must say a big thanks to the one I lapped for keeping out of the way, really well done.
Before the race I was a bit sad that Al had been put in the BT7 but a saw that the Amateurs race was won in the BT7 so ..................
I was wondering about the warping Nicky was talking about when he was following me at the beginning of the race, "when I was taking it slow". Al was talking about the same thing at Clermont. When I was looking at the replay in Nickys car I could not see any warping. So I wonder if the problem is in my connection, Nickys connection, the server or what it is and what can be done about it.
I am looking into the possibility of getting a better internet connection, but would really want to know if the problem lies with me. I am not so good with computers so help me out please, I mean I don't want to win races because no one can come close to me, not that I felt this was the case this time.
Well thanks for racing and well done all, see you at Adelaide.

...so perhaps if it's that quick you might like to take the BT7 too? Well, I've enjoyed more than my fair share of good luck in races this season so was overdue a calamity or two. Made a good start but got launched into orbit after two cars accidentally tangled behind. Didn't suffer any damage but unfortunately found myself imprisoned behind a wire fence so had to take a shift-R to get back onto track - not my fault so I didn't take a SnG but by the time I got going again I was way behind. Tried to catch up but the BT7 is still pretty unfamiliar to me so made a few silly mistakes that lost me even more time. Plus of course I was a sitting duck on the long straight. Nevertheless had some fun battles on the way back to 8th - especially those last few laps with Pete who beat me across the line by a whisker! Congratulations to Tussman, Nicky & Fabio.

It was won by Hristo, not his BT7 This car is the only thing that keeps him on our planet. If he got a fasther car, he would be home long time ago

Hi tussman , To me your core.ini settings do look ok . 1Mbits/sec is extreme slow. Are you really sure on it ? ( I do got 12Mbits/sec out off a contract promises 16Mbits/sec ). And 6M/bits/sec is the slowest you can order here those days . Hope its not WLAN you have. If so kick it out through the window. Its devil`s work for gamers. Hope too , no other users ( homenetwork ) are on while you race online. But anyroads : you can check if maybe firewall and/or Antivirus software are an bottleneck , simply by turning them off and join a race via Igor. Shouldn’t be that risky to do . In fact during our ukgpl online races I shot down my Antivirus software all the time . As I am behind a router including firewall , I havnt any clue on how to set up zonealarm . But back the days I used zonealarm as well , I turned it off either for online races. Well , maybe the program `and it all `helps a bit too. https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=7084.0Bernie should be able to help you in that . And off course make sure really all update services are disabled !!! Mostly I am around at Igor/ukgpl chat at 8pm-11pm your time.(nearly every day ). kindly regards NickyIckx

Thanks for the answer Nicky,
I am not sure about what WLAN is but it might be. Is there some other possibility when the connection is mobil? The operator is called Icenet.
I am sure about the speed but there are no other user (homenetwork), I live alone with two cats and they don't care much about computers, (wonder what they are doing all day).
The option I am looking into is a fiber cable connection but it involves digging so I guess I have to wait until summer. Yes it is winter here with snow and frosen ground.
So, with the core.ini OK, (I am glad it is) the disconnection of the firewall and antivirus is about all I can do at the moment and I will try that the next round at Adelaide, so if you see the back of me there ..... hihi.
The time at Igor/ukgpl chat is early for me, usually get home from work round midnight but Tuesday I am free so, but of cause I have GplRacer race at 8.30, my time, maybe before that I can come around a bit.
Anyway, the fall of 2010 I hope all problems is long gone and that you may be able to run close to me with out problems.
PS. I just got to ask if you in any way are related to Jacky Ickx, he was my first F1 hero.

WLAN = wireless LAN happy digging

Just to add that I also race on a 1Mbit connection and it's not a problem at all. On good servers I don't have warp in any sim, not just GPL. As I said before you wouldn't benefit from having faster connection for online racing, unless you're hosting races, so the problems lie elsewhere.

I am not sure about what WLAN is but it might be. Is there some other possibility when the connection is mobil? now I realised that your main connection is mobil . ( like on a ship , or inside a car.. ). well , I havent any experiences or knowledge on that , but can easily imagine it could even serve more probs than WLAN could serve sometimes. is it called receiver ? that thinghie catch the signals from outa space ? have you tried different place inside your flat to locate/place that receiver , just to check if connection quality improves ? ( sry for my bad english )

Nicky: i use a mobile connection. Essentially it's internet over cellphones. I get 300-500 pings, which is better than the 60% quality with WLAN.

First, your English is no worse than mine, I use the "Spell Check" before post anything.
Then, I have thought about the thinghie that catch the signal and have been advised to get a extra antenna, maybe that will help things a bit.
I think I will get it for the Adelaide race so if you just stay behind!!! me you can see if it is any better.
My ping, when using the pingtest.net use to be round 80 with jitter about 15.
