Hello, i'm new on this site and also new on GPL, just registered a few weeks ago, and i thinks the best way to introduce is giving thanks. When i bought the game, i thought it was dead but my surprise when i discover that it has a lot of mods and an active community as also online racing and some leagues.

I fell in love since the 1st minute i tested it. I really like it.

So i want to thank all people involved in this game (creators, admins, modders....) making this dream posible.

I'm pleased seeing that a 15 years old game is still alive

I'm sure i'll enjoy this game, bye

P.D. I know there is another thread to say thanks but i considered that would be good another one. All thanks are always welcome!

anyone aware of any data pages for the 67 f1 cars of GPL?
i was testing for our next league race in Ferrari.. and noticed
(pribluda) that the engine temps within 3 laps are over 200dg F ...
climbing as high as 220 at Reims.

then i tested some laps in the Brabham.. and after the same # of laps saw it
was only 185 or so.

i know one is 12 and the other 8 cylinder.. but is there a danger line list
for each car?
like the Honda engine we know is fragile to begin with... and not going past 10k,
on the tach does wonders for its longevity..   but Ferrari?
i don't think i've ever seen such high temps so fast!
in real life, did the cars have engine temp LIMITS?  what happened to the engines when the temps were exceeded?
if you slow, or just reduce speed for a portion of a lap, the temp drops of course, but it climbs again soon as you start to race hard.

am i being overly concerned? before Pribluda, this information wasn't so obvious and i was unaware, i just raced on.. now i am curious, and ask if my throttle use is abnormal.

thanks for any input!

please, to start this important Motor Racing matter, go to 2'47"

At most tracks, I like to have the lowest possible ride height and bumpstops at minimum. However, on the more undulating tracks, such as Brands Hatch and Mosport, this does not work: the car grounds and suddenly changes direction and I'm off into the Armco. In replay, you can see sparks coming from the underside.

At Brands I have managed to fudge around this with a few minor changes. Mosport is more difficult, specifically the braking point uphill after the dip following Turn 4 (where you are about to enter the double-apex Moss right-hander.

I can get rid of the grounding but then I find that the balance has gone elsewhere and I cannot find a good compromise. Any suggestions welcome...
