Find the new GPL Times Special Edition over HERE.



So many thanks to all who collaborated on this massive project. This has been a work in worldly proportions as people from around the globe have helped in their own way. (Webpage by Sky, slightly modified by In Dust Trios.)

Enjoy this masterpiece and don't forget to say thanks to all who contributed especially the principals: Ginetto, Richard Cooke, and Sergio Loro (with Nigel's special tweaks without whom this would never be a reality). Thanks to Bill for hosting.


Don't forget to apply all the latest patches to be able to use this track! You can find them listed HERE.

Well said. Thanks to everyone.    
I noticed it said the hi res version hasn't got sound enabled but can be added later. Does this mean the ambient sounds and how can it be added?

Oh, man, I'm going to be up late tonight.

Just saying thanks isn't enough, but I don't know what else to say.  I simply cannot imagine all the hours of work that has been put into this project by Ginetto, Sergio, Richard, Nigel, and I'm sure a bunch more I'm not aware of.  Thank you all.     Keith and Bill, too.       

Ain't GPL a wonderful thing?

cheers,
steve  




Darn cool newspaper too.

[miklkit]

Oh dear.  I've been dreading this day.  Goodbye life!

After 4 years of hard work and who knows how many 1,000s of hours everyone involved can rest on your laurels.  You deserve every bit of the praise coming your way.

I'm suddenly not feeling well and I'm going to miss work tomorrow.  

Thank you to all who made this possible.  It's an amazing achievement!!

Real life has been tough lately, but seeing this just made it a whole lot better.

A big, big   to all involved for your time and efforts in bringing this huge project to the GPL community.

Definitely a milestone in sim racing history. You should all be very proud of your incredible achievement.

Bravo!

This is the stuff dreams are made of.................Thanks to all.

This is a monumental work of art.  Just finished my first lap. 44.03 The track is very well marked , so there isn't any real need to memorize it.  Just pay attention to the arrows. I drove the 66 P261.  Used my Nurby setup with a few clicks more 6th gear.  Too much, as it turned out.  I spent most of my time in 2nd gear.  That gave me lots of time to enjoy the scenery.  And it is gorgeous!  

[EdwRom]

I now have to get GPL working again!
Thanks to the Targa team.

[Raoni]

This is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!!!

A true masterpiece! Every day that I play GPL, I have more certain that there's not any simulator that can beat this oldie but goodie sim.

Many thanks for this brilliant job! Congratulations to everybody involved on that project. I was paying attention to the billboard, the scenery, walls. Everything is perfect on this track!


Did my first lap at the track, using Mod 65 and a BT11 - 38:59,998

[grizz]

Thank you to all the team,in addition to the targa ago dino F 65, you were the best.

[fester]

I'm awestruck. Huge thanks to all involved. This is a major addition to GPL's virtual encyclopedia of the world's historic race circuits.

Given how often his name appears has anyone sought the Nino Vaccarella seal of approval?

I'm supposed to be going blackberry picking this afternoon after work but I'm hoping it rains now.

Solo il bello e lirica in lingua locale sembra essere la più appropriata parole per descrivere questo progetto.

Scusi questo cattivo utilizzo della lingua Italiana.

Piccolo delle Madonie, Targa Florio,

Molto bello!
Fantastico!
Stupendo!
Inspiratore!
Favoloso!
Tale enorme tela intricata,
La famosa opera di pura arte,
Acquisisce il clima locale, il periodo e il clima così bene,  
Così coinvolgente che sospende l'incredulità,
Un risultato che è insuperabile,
Le congratulazioni sincere e lo ringraziano così tanto affinchè i vostri duri lavori continui producano questo masterpeice!

Grazie mille, Ginetto, Ricardo, Sergio e la tua squadra.

Ciao,
