GPL: Anyone running F3 Series races anymore?

I'm just getting back into this game. Its running flawlessly (other than a blinking mouse) in XP Pro with my GF4 4200 128 meg at 1600 x 1200 using OGL. I remember back when Mark Seery had a series going a couple years ago, was a great time.. G Patricks

DAve, there is just a straight F2 and F3 class as well you know ;), all the others are some kind of engine swapping, where as F2 is just advanced trainers, and F3 is basic trainers.

Not quite sure why you would want to run F3 cars on the same track as F1s.. thanks for the inf tho.

That league is still around but it's now FV's (F2 cars with F3 engines) http://users.pandora.be/jan..verschueren./GPVL/FV/index.htm. There's also the GMSS (http://www.gmss.org) that races FGs (F1 cars with F3 engines).

GPLF3R was formed for drivers to get experience in online racing and they welcome beginner drivers (as does GPVL for that matter but it is a bit more serious). They also are working on a system of team racing, pairing up the more experienced drivers with those with less experience so it should be interesting. Anyway, check out both sites and see what you like. Darius

I'm guessing they have overall standings and class standings, a'la sportscar racing when GT's, GT2's, etc are all racing together. Jason

There are some tracks perfectly well suited to F3, like: Crystal Palace Pau Croft Monaco Mas du Clos Falkenberg Norisring Heartland Homestead Phoenix Louden Cleveland "G Patricks" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Not quite sure why you would want to run F3 cars on the same track as > F1s.. thanks for the inf tho. > > G Patricks > > >On Tue, 29 Oct 2002 00:01:38 GMT, "Biz" <[email hidden]>wrote: > >DAve, there is just a straight F2 and F3 class as well you know ;), allthe others are some kind of > >engine swapping, where as F2 is just advanced trainers, and F3 is basictrainers.

You forgot Castle Combe, the king of all F3 tracks. Or at least for me- my best results ever in GPLeMans F3 have been at Combe :-D Grenzlandring can be immense fun in F3, or dull as watching paint dry, depending on whether you find a friend to draft with. cheers John

Mark!! Hey, I just loaded Jake's F3 Ferarri setup from the old days and it still works great for me. I'm lost with all the new stuff, where can I get direction on setting up the F2 w/F3 engine? I still suck (some things never change) but one thing is I still run clean and want to have fun... Thanks! G Patricks

I'm trying to find the GPL Engine Manager that allows me to change the F2 cars but keep getting sent to dead ends. Do you know where it can be downloaded from? Thanks GP

I found GPL Eng Mgr 1.1.12 and it has FG and FD converters. I also see where I can ser F2 and F3 cars up with 2.0 and 2.5L Race engines. Is "FV" simply set up this way? Thanks Gary

It is Gary, there's a page about setting it up at our site. Unless you're using the patch for 1.4GHz+ CPU's (Fast CPU patch), in which case you need to download Gem+ (GPL Environment Manager Plus) from GPL++ (www.gplpp.com). This one does have an FV preset. Just select your FV player, your preferred car and FV from the dropdown boxes and hit "Run GPL". Jan./ the guy that runs the GPVL FV league. =---

I can't believe that Lime Rock is an available track now!! I was THERE last saturday, thinking how cool it would be to have it available in GPL!!! Man I HAVE been away a long time... G Patricks

Jan - Should I be using the "Fast CPU" patch? I running an Athlon 2100+ (obviously above 1,4GZ) w/o any issues. Is it for online play anomolies or what? This thing has had more stuff added than Falcon 4! Thanks. Gary

This thing has had more stuff added than Falcon 4! You should be using the patch or are unknowingly already using it. The "standard" game runs at twice normal speed without it. I think the versions are multiplayer compatible. Jan. =---
