UKGTL Season 11 - Spa (1967) - May 30 - DUSK

[Manteos]

OK guys, I've missed the bottom of the announcement

I guess that if somone is able to do a 3.06 with the Vintage tyres and full tank, it would be better for me to retire from this race!!! 

[Wiltshire Tony]

Manteos, this is a very long race and I don't think that going fast is necessarily going to win it

[Den]

I really wanted to do this but my health has different ideas. Bugger. Well, it's getting better all the time so I keep hoping I can join in one day. Have fun guys!!

[Wiltshire Tony]

It has been pointed out that the starting grid is on quite an incline and that some may benefit from enabling a handbrake.

You can do this if you go to CONTROLS then click the EXTRAS tab. Then you can assign any unused button/key to operate a handbrake.

I'll just keep my foot on the footbrake but each to their own.

Sorry to hear that Den. One day, one day

[Manteos]

Even for me will be difficult to join this race... I guess I won't be able to come back at 9 o clock (Italian time obviously). If I'm lucky, I will be able to join during the last minutes of the qualif session, but I won't be able to do the whole race, cause I've to meet some friends later.

However, I will try to race as much as possible

thanks for the link tony. unfortunately my installation with Win7 (which i only got 2 months ago) means it is playing silly buggers.... keeps harking on about me not being the administrator (i am) and when i think i got past that bit it resets and windows fails to start and has to automatically sort it out.... very long and crap.

anyway, requested a copy of GTL Revivial and they have already replied with a code  ....problem is the link is 2.5GB and won't be downloaded in time! godammit! 

at least i'll be set for some future GTL races

Dammit, I could have sorted all of that out for you. That GTL Revival won't get you our lobby but it will install on your Windows 7 without any drama's. We'll talk more later.

  Sorry guys. Some one hit me from behind off the start and then I got a bad frame out and hit some one a Ferrari I think going up the hill. I Felt really bad after this incident and seeing the carnage behind didn't really feel like continuing. Anyway I lost concentration and went over the bank at the end of lap 2. Sorry if I ruined some ones night as well as my own.

Avoided most of the start rubbish, then had some great chasing laps with Sqrtr, went into pit one after the other
I forgot you have to tell it what fuel you want, and it put non in, tried reversing and back into stall
but they refused to put some in, went off to try to get round again, but 1: Stop and go for speeding in pit lane
2: ran out of fuel jst after eau rouge. Annoying, was shaping up to be a good one.

[Mike Miller]

Brilliant idea for an event Tony! I really loved the challenge of driving the 917 at Dusk and into the night. Too bad the stupid GTL game didn't agree with me tonight. I had a bunch of problems after I restarted my computer. I practiced 4 pit stops offline and all went well each time. I even did a run down pit lane and into my box at the end of quali. Come race time, I had a huge lead at the end of my 1st stint (hard slicks only lasted 8 laps on the 917K). When I stopped in my box, the crew didn't service me. I reversed a bit thinking I may have overshot the box, but still nothing. I limped around another lap to give it a second go. I ran out of fuel in the pit lane, but luckily, putting the car in neutral got it rolling to my stall. I was very, very conservative with aproaching the box this time. Regardless of what I did, the crew refused to service me. It is quite dissapointing considering I practiced so much and had a comfortable lead in the race. I was poised to simply cruize with the 40 second lead I had after the 1st stint. I think I'm done with GTL.

Again, good event though Tony. Wish I didn't run into problems so I could have enjoyed the entire thing. In hind sight, it would have been better in the LOLA with SBG though.
My setups to follow. The modern tires were good for 5-6 seconds quicker than my soft quali setup. The modern tires would have required some setup changes as they were very pointy on the front end.

OK for about 18 to 19 laps when I ran up a grass bank and flipped over the fence into the dreaded 3rd dimension to spend my life whirling through time and space.
