Im very sorry for the start tangle and I suppose start mistake on my part. Had a car right next to me that I didnt see and before I realized anything it was too late. I just dropped by to drive some gpl and had every intention to chug along at the back somewhere and most certainly not cause anybody else any grief so again , my apologies.

Hey guys. We are trying to get a cross league \ world event going in December. The date is set to Dec. 12th (saturday). Its gonna be 3 x 1 hour races with 1 hour qualifying for each race , 6 hours in total.
Its meant to be an "elite" type of event with a pre qualifying system. An open pre qual server is running on VROC , open for all locked to a lotus chassi so same for all. The track is Sachsenring , the worst track we could find. Deadline is Dec. 5th , 12 PM. The 18 fastest drivers are qualified for the event. Hopefully it can attract the best and fastest drivers from across the globe. Normal gpl in 60 fps.
I probably broke a million regulations in Q. Didnt have any setup and have only ever driven 1 race in a brm so needed Q to get it half way sorted. I reversed myself to a DQ and started (almost) at the very back. Hope this is ok for this race , I have a baseline setup now so next round should be more like normal.
Fun race. Gained a gazillion positions due to attrition and had good scraps with Josefine and Ferdinand so not a dull moment from start to finish.
Grats Lasse , Kelvin and Mario on the podium. Also grats to Claudio , Lasse and Robert for the championship podium. Well done and well deserved Im sure as you dont win this league without putting in some serious consistency over a full year with 25 or so races. Not an easy title to claim.
Sorry about the boo boo in Q Rob , yes that was me coming out of the pits and at nurb it never struck me that I would run into traffic so soon. Didnt hear you either and all of a suddenly and all that.. Sorry.
I had a decent honda setup from the oAo race earlier this year but I forgot that I had to reinstall with my backup during the summer so that setup wasnt there anymore.Had to jump into some imported setup that wasnt all that good. And without any practice it was a tall order to get anything from this race. Had a fun scrap with Claudio and Josefine which was fun for as long as it lasted but soon enough it was only me. Spun a little later and gave up tbh.
I missed the whole lap 1 debacle as I had to go off into T1 to avoid slamming into Axel (I think , a ferrari anyways) in front of me. Didnt damage the car so I was ok to continue. Closing in on the double drop and not to my surprise I see a marshal waving a yellow flag. And as I came down the hill I see a honda tipped over plus a couple of other wrecks. Commiserations to those who got smashed on lap 1.
So I managed to get by a couple of cars on the 1st lap but I found myself immediately in a pocket all by self where I didnt see anyone after lap 1. So as much as I was looking forwards to racing you guys again after being absent a while that didnt hold up for longer than into T1 on the first lap.. Needless to say , without any stake in the championship my concentration was never gonna hold up for 26 laps. But I managed to get to the halfway point before I got stuck in a paper thin strip of grass.. Dundrod had me and werent gonna let me go so that was the end point for me. Still , the most awesome track in all of gpl land , possibly with the exception of Sachsenring. Its a fantastic drive imo.
Grats Mario and Lasse who I gathered were the only finishers. Well done!
Thank you Mr. Marfan , it was good to be back. And long , very long. This race must have been more than an hour and a half.
I had a honda race today and the setup needed a long run test and RA is such a great track to drive so it was time to join in again. Im also driving Dundrod , and nurb probably.
Hi Robert and welcome. I suspected you would turn up to fill up your race calendar for 2019 , shame about F1 legends but it is what it is I suppose. This is in any case a great championship and a serious challenge as well so it should be one you will enjoy.
As for chassi guys , since Im not gonna be all in this year I was thinking either the brabham or the honda as these are cars where I have some setups ready to go from other leagues. Hardly ever driven the cooper. The honda would be fine , I can help Lasse and Tim in the constructor championship in the few races I join. Im slow as hell in it but its fun to drive.
Thanks Tim , yes its been a blast all year and as I said I fully brought it on myself and it didnt really come as a suprise , I just hoped I would finish the season and year a little better and not run out of mental fuel before the end but it cracked up in the last races. Dont have the exact count but with the LRN I have something like a 100 - 110 online starts in 2018. Not gonna break that record for a while.
Will show up to the LRN practically without any tests or practice and hope that once january comes around it starts to tickle in the right foot again. But the LRN is mostly just great fun for me , not my best track and I know that most of the guys are stronger than me at Nurburgring so I will take that as it comes.
Hope you are all having a nice christmas guys. Thanks for all the battles and the good fights in 2018.
Thanks guys. This isnt one of those bad burnouts and very much self imposed as Ive been completely hooked on gpl all year. This year has all in all been a blast for me in terms of driving this wonderful sim. If I was a little smarter I would have seen this brick wall coming.. Drove the last "official" race yesterday so finally done.
Im definetly driving a good handful of races next season but I wont be fully commited for the long haul.
Ive signed up for the LRN dec. 30th so I suppose I will see some of you guys there.
Grats Kelvin as the GELI champion of 2018! Well done sir!
As for my own form its totally down the drain and I just gave up having gone off at "der ring" on the 2nd lap. Ive bitten over much more than I can chew in 2018 and I paid a price for that in the last stages of the season. Now Im not touching a wheel for at least a couple of weeks. Never thought I would say it but Im just fed up and completely saturated with gpl now. But man what a sim this is , fantastic stuff and its been a great year for gpl all in all.
Next season Im probably not gonna drive that many races with you guys. I will drop in here and there when I can and I will keep updating gpl weekly unless someone volounteers to take over.Be back for a full run in 2020.
I wish you fine gentlemen a merry christmas and a happy new year.
Next season will be somewhat reduced for my part due to the tendonitis issue so Im not gonna be "all in" so to speak. I have however been checking out quite a few new tracks lately and Ive come across some real gems so my six would be :
Lake Kansas Donington 37 (very hard to overtake in the 67s and hardly designed for such cars but man oh man what a piece of art this track is) Valbray Balcarce Brno 49 Borovaya
I had no practice or setup prepared but managed to find a decent setup at first but made some last minute changes that turned the car to crap. Hopelessly understeered and I drove like crap with overdriving and all manner of things one shouldnt do so in a way you put me out of my misery even though I was running 3rd at the time.
Grats Mario and Claudio. Grats Frank for finishing. Commiserations to the DNF`s
It was always about surviving and I did. 18 laps is a long way around this track. Allthough its not quite as unforgiving as Nurburgring or Sachsenring its still tricky and pretty unforgiving.
Had a good scrap with Claudio but I made some small boo boo`s along the way and had to drop back with only a couple of laps to go and by then it wasnt possible to catch him so good job Claudio. I probably had a little more pace in the ferrari but very hard to overtake and Claudio didnt make any mistakes so well done.
