@Cos...& to everyone else: If you make a jump start or anything else where you're called to go to pit, then you have to drive very gentle towards the pit sign and when you see your name appear on the board then brake. When your name disappear first then you can drive again. If you get too far ahead of the board, you have to drive out once more, and try again.

Really fun to meet you all in GPL ...& yes, I was lucky in both race & won
In the first race it ran perfectly in Eagle, my last lap (lap 11) was run in this time: 1:27.16
Next race went over in BRM Fun ...won again & with best time close to my PB: 1:28.98

I continue my practice and now doing 1,29.18
Maybe I can even join SROUK race

anybody a suggestion for the wheel setup? seems the game has some problems with center of 900°, but when i decrease it and kalibrate again it's totally crap.

[Pelle_B]

No ...I still use my old XP to GPL & SideWinder software for MS wheel.

Don't feel ready for such a long race atm. But I'm getting faster every time - 1,28,74 pb now. Need to work on consistency though.

It's no secret I went for the gold at Monza & training up to the race was perfect...but everything went wrong
iGor works & can see the race list, but I have to wait very long for 'Ping Pong' so I can join chat? When you are reserve in UKGPL, you must wait to be given the green light to join the server...I got the green light to join 10 minutes before the race was to begin
It meant I had 10 minutes to run qual, throw a qual setup on the car, hope for tires coming up fast in temp & set a good time already in second lap. Got set up a 1:27:57 & hoped it was enough for pole. Now I had 5 minutes left to get your heart rate down, turn to race setup & run a few laps at race pace. This was stressful & no break, more than my arm & shoulder could stand up to...but my qaul time was good enough for pole
Unfortunately, the pulse was not down when the race started, I drove too fast & too hard on the engine. Think I ran 1 second faster on each lap & led large...until the engine gives up ...no gold for GTLDK.
Big grats to Hristo that just as in 1967, won in a Honda

I think if you find the right brake balance - I spend 51% of Eagle - especially for Lesmo1 & Parabolica, here you will find a second more & get great lap times.
