Considering I was running a fever and sneezing alot it went pretty good , qualifying wasnt all that much to write home about but it could have been worse. Got up to p5 in the race and had the pace to put some pressure on Lasse ahead of me but overtaking seemed a tall order on this track , short of some serious mistake. During Q I adjusted 2nd gear a little and decided to take the last turn in 1st instead but the red car didnt like that very much and broke down.
You have to activate it once , long time since I did this. Run it and enter choices for cars in front and cars behind. Should be placed in the gpl folder.
If you did this already then Im guessing its your vroc settings that creates the bandwith client mismatch.
When you click on joining a race a smaller window pops up , under the advanced heading you will find something called gpl bandwith settings. Try setting that to use core.ini settings
You dont need to turn the firewall off , usually you get asked to make an firewall exception for programs like gpl and vroc.
The bandwith thing Im not sure about , there is an option in VROC where you can set VROC to detect and run in accordance with your core.ini settings.You have to activate the actual patch as well.
Grats podium. 5 in a row with 5x pole and fastest laps must be closing in on some sort of record for geli? Its the M.W cup by now. Hats off Mario , incredible pace and consistency.
This is a track I wasnt looking forward to so P5 isnt too bad.It was kind of an uninspired drive and I knew all along it was gonna be more work than play. Tried to put up halfway of a fight with Kelvin around halfways but it didnt last for long. Tried to cut some curbs for the first time in the race as well and that didnt work out too good either. But not a bad result for the constructors as teammate Uwe took home a strong 2nd place so a pretty good night for ferrari.
The patch works in pro mode , thats the whole point. Otherwise its redundant. We were on our way to ditching shift + r anyways and that would have happened regardless of this patch.
Rubber + asphalt + 400 bhp + the torque of a small truck = a degree of tirewear. The point is it wasnt bad enough to provoke a pitstop. But it wasnt many years down the line until it did. It was also car , track and driver dependent.
Well thanks for the inputs and the responses guys ,I hope the odd torch thrown on occasion doesnt bother you guys too much.
To answer your question Lasse , the dirty tires effect cannot be run as a single option in this patch but I have asked Olaf if such a patch could be created based on what he has done til now. This is a missing piece in gpl , its too easy to run patches of gravel and grass without consequence as it is now.
As for your other comments about the era in question allow me to lend some nuance. Here is a snapshot taken at the halfway point of the Kyalami GP as reported by motorsports magazine in 67.
"Still out in the lead, Hulme was going well with a 20-second lead over Brabham. Rindt, lying third, gave up on L38 when his engine finally expired. Charlton had a pit-stop to adjust his rear brakes which were not functioning. Botha made two stops for electrical trouble, then replaced the battery and continued. Tingle hit a stone at the edge of the road and burst the left rear tyre and he limped round on the rim to the pits where a new wheel was fitted. At the halfway stage the two Brabhams were at the front, then on the next lap Brabham coasted to the pits with a dead engine. The mechanics checked over the wiring but could find nothing loose, then when the starter was pressed the engine burst into life and Brabham continued, four laps down. Although the engine popped and banged, it kept going but the fault stopped Brabham making any fast times. As cars had been coming to the pits, the tyre technicians had been taking readings and from the worried looks the wear at the halfway stage was causing some concern. As Brabham was in the pits, Siffert retired with a broken engine. Some laps earlier he had come into the pit with a blocked fuel line. This had been cleared, but the damage from running very lean had been done, and the engine finally broke."
Wear and repair was an integral part of these races.Brabham finished 6th in this race inspite of being 4 laps down halfway and driving with a busted engine , that meant 1 point. This paragraph speaks to what the actual race enviroment was like in these races. There were a bunch of cars coming and going from the pits throughout the whole race but it was still in the 0 stop era so any stop meant trouble and had a negative impact on the drivers end race result. But they would try to keep going until it was impossible to go further. It was more than just a race for the win.
But as Fabian points out , there are other arenas to try stuff like this so over @ historic esports we will shift the format to pro long come fall season and run this patch in full from august to test it and see how it works out in races. The shift to pro is permanent , the patch as well if it works the way its intended.
Ok guys , listen , Im in no way , shape or form suggesting we turn this into a Int mode \ shiftR league , heavens forbid no.Thats not what this is , just to be clear. Im not proposing any big changes either. I think this is a brilliant league concept with its unforgiving format.Wouldnt change anything , on the same page. Ok? So this is not going against the original idea or intent of geli in any way. Wouldnt dream of it or have any motive to do so.
Running this patch in Int mode (eolc) or in Pro \ GP mode (geli) are two different things. If I thought in any way it would interfere with the format I would not have brought it up as I myself dont want that to change either. See it in a pro \ GP context. Seems the only sensible format for a patch like this anyway. Then its not such a radical proposal , nor does it change much. If you run a clean race you wont know its there. If you damage the car you can fix some things but not others and you have to get yourself to the pit. If you cant, its race over. Its that simple. Nothing else changes.
I would assume it would be preferable for all of us to drop a lot of time and places if it means a chance to stay in the race. Better than logging off early.
Well youre only against this young man because you havent fully figured out how friggin AWSOME this patch is. Its not a guaranteed ressurection option we are talking about , if youre out then youre out. But there are certain instances where one is out due to minor things as well , this opens a tiny glimmer of hope to finish a race despite problems of a certain character. But certain crashes there is no coming back from obviously and I think it should stay that way. This patch wouldnt have helped me at Sachsenring but it could have helped Claudio f ex.
Since its an option nobody plans to use in a race it doesnt change anything really. It adds something is more like it. The core league principal you so eloquently conveyed remains intact , nor would I dream of proposing something against it good Sir. I do not think this would turn us into perpetual fuck ups so to speak.
As for the tirewear there isnt any to worry about due to the length of the races.
The dirty tire effect is however something new. Grass and gravel will make it slippery for a few seconds , Im fine with that in a race. Thats a real thing. Sure it can create incidents and runoffs but also overtaking opportunities that otherwise wouldnt have been there.It adds something as well.Its not a drastic effect either but one needs to consider it when it happens. But I fully respect that folks arent looking to make this game any harder , no problems with that. But Im gonna keep selling it cause this patch is brilliant.I heard it got a Nobel patch prize.. or was at least nominated or something.
No , sorry have no idea. I turned scoring off alltoghether for GELI on weekly. Due to two different point scales. So I dont know how the scoring system works on weekly but Im sure Jani does. I just wanted us out there for the press coverage and league advertisement.

Hi all
First of all I would like to say Im perfectly happy with the format and concept of this wonderful online league as it is ,Im absolutely loving it as the commercial says. But Im really impressed by this patch by Olaf and I would like to propose it as an option to be considered for the future. Its a patch with a "lock" so if the host is running it you wont be able to join races anc vice versa. Im sure most of you already know about this patch.
In short this patch introduces 3 things : Tirewear , dirty tires effect and pitstop repair. (well also change tires so I guess thats four). The tirewear function is not gonna apply to us unless we want it to. Its set to kick in after approx one hour in pro mode and two hours of GP mode. So if our pro race is an hour and five minutes we would feel the tirewear effect in the last five minutes. In the GP`s not at all. In free practice it kicks in after approx 30 min of running this patch. The effect is subtle and nice , I did a stint on Imola and when the tires started to go I dropped about a sec a lap , car was still fine to drive but with slightly more slip. The wear does depends on how hard you drive the car though , it might kick in sooner.
The dirty tires effect is somewhat the same as other games , If you go off and get dirt and grass on the tires you will feel slightly reduced grip for a few corners.
Then there is the repair option. If you can get to the pit , stop at the pitboard with your name and put the car in reverse. It will be jacked up and remain that way for 15 sec. When jacked up you can put the car in 1st gear and be ready to go as soon as it drops. You can also change tires by remaining in the pit and putting the car in a different gear than reverse , this takes an additional 15 sec. You cannot fix a blown engine.
This repair option would be great for Geli I think. If you can get yourself to the pits you can finish the race. If you have damage that costs you time you can evaluate if you wanna stay in the race with it or drop by the pits and fix it. Its either way gonna cost time and it would be the same for everyone.
I struggled a little to find it but found it in the gplweekly archives.
So thats my two cents , let me know what you guys think about this.
Im reporting GELI on gplweekly as it stands now. I signed up on weekly to report the thursday league with Andrè originally and noticed that GELI wasnt there so I took it upon myself to get us out there. Its a great site for gpl drivers , didnt know it existed until a couple of months ago. I posted the season and if details are wrong or needs correcting let me know. Im not reporting full scores on aggregate , gonna point to this site for that but I will post results from all the races.
Grats Willi , Lasse and Kelvin. Almost made it Kelvin , 1 lap shy. Still a good result tho. Lasse and Willi are lords of sachsenring. Wathced the rpy and what pace. Wow , 34 laps like it was nothing.Very impressive guys. .
So guess where I went off... , during the week I put in maybe 25 - 30 practice laps and not once did I go off in that right hander , others places sure , but not there. So I was sure I had it down and under control , off on lap two , haha... Lets look forward shall we.

But not a bad result for the constructors as teammate Uwe took home a strong 2nd place so a pretty good night for ferrari.
