Old: DGPLS - NGPLS - 40thWC

[Pelle_B]

(Link: *TEAM-FIVE* to view the page)

Unbelievable what you can find on an old hard drive, a TEAM page from 2002.
Unfortunately, this is the only thing I can find from the good old days in Danish GPL...if you see this & have links to more old Danish/Norwegian, please write

DGPLS (Danish Grand Prix Legends Society) was really big in 2002, run in 4 divisions according to how fast you were after GPLRank (4 servers every 14 days) & we had many brothers from NGPLS (Norway) & Sweden that came to.

The story behind TEAM-FIVE:
This TEAM was created a little in provocation against the new rules with points in DGPLS in 2002 (not meant to be evil, but fun).
Håvard (Norway) & I started talking together & agreed we went out of our TEAMs & create our own for the 2002 season & in our favorite car, Lotus 49

I don't remember point system how many to win & down, but it was given plus & minus points after which car you drove:
-5 Lotus
-3 Eagle
-3 Ferrari
-0 Brabham
+3 Cooper
+5 Honda
+7 BRM
...& the idea for Team name was created, TEAM minus 5: TEAM-FIVE

Race reports 2006h-2008v:

I did make race reports from my old replays. Here is the index of this races:

1967-40thWC index.jpg2008GPLWC index.jpgNGPLS index.jpg

A lot of data here. I can upload replays or upload the race reports where is less data and easier to find what happened in those races.

I'm interested in those reports Björn. We already have a few race reports from 2008 WC at http://freeleo.hu/weekly/?p:events/season/WC2008/

Great Jani...we're working on high pressure uploading
Unfortunately, I see nothing on your link with WC2008
Edit: Oops, was a little too fast...missing 3x
Discovering I was in GPLWC2007, but in 2008 I only drove GT-Legends

Race Reports 1967-40thWC, 2008GPLWC and NGPLS 2006 autumn to 2008 spring

Here are my race reports. Unzip the files. Open the folder you want and klick at “index”. Some long filenames are extra screenshots and can be opened directly (outside index-file).
I was reserve-driver in 1967-40thWC and 2008GPLWC. NGPLS was the Norwegian league.

Yes. With the help of Marcos.
I have to reorganize the season slightly.
Thanks for the replays!

Warnings, I was coming to think about this two:


Date in race-reports can be wrong if the replay is a cut out of the original replay (to save filesize). If you find odd date, let me hear. I can find the original files in old backups, as some was catched after race and not given name then. [EDIT:] WC2008 is correct.

Bug in replay analyser: Invalid lap is in a report (Kyalami 22.04.2008) 1:18s not realistic. In the replay the car disappears a lot of times (bad internet then). The lap is coded as invalid but is in the report. Lucky this time isn’t registered in player-ini. But I was first on grid, the race server accepted this, anyway I had wheelspin in this start…

NGPLS

Found an old hard drive & here was something exciting
...but discovers that Bjørn was faster, it is in the NGPLS zip

Track: Nurburg Tue Feb 20 22:34:30 2007
...but here is Replay for GPL

Battle for Sweden

This is a video that can be viewed by everyone when you click on the link.
It should start automatically in your media player.?

Denmark vs Norway

All 7 different cars must be used.
Denmark is in red helmet & Norway in blue.
9 from each country, meaning the same car can be used twice.?

Watch the race here from Watkins Glen

40thWC 2007
Runar Bjornstad was the man behind the 40thWC, a huge Thank You (Runar is on the Watkins Glen video, there was a collaboration between Runar & I.)

These are only the 4 races I could find a Server Replay & throw into 'GPL Replay Analyser'.
Several races were run that are not as well-known, because these races did not give any points.
The first one here is from Brands Hatch & so...no points for the Championship.

Track: Brands67 - Sun Mar 11 2007

Roo was here, but we are 3 from my old TEAM-FIVE: Haavard Espeland, Allan Chris & myself.
Race Report?

Track: Silver - Sun Apr 29 2007

Look who was there, Killer Miele & Roo. Sorry if I forgot some.
I hate being assigned with car number 13 & there were a lot of accidents.
Small crashes, spinning around, losing calibration & having to drive in the grass to turn the steering wheel from side to side until it worked again & had a pit stop I don't know why.
Pure luck, I'll finish in 3rd place.
Race Report ?

Track: Zandvort - Sun Jun 03 2007

I think this was my first encounter with Gaizka López, it was scary...wildly fast in the Brabham, a class of its own.
It only ended up being 3rd place for me again.
Race Report?

Track: Spa - Sun Jun 17 2007

To my horror, I had to start next to Gaizka López, but Spa in a Brabham again...time for revenge.
Amazingly I didn't end up in a crash, driving almost over 290km/h all laps through Masta.
Race Report??

If anyone wants Server Replay for these 4 races for GPL, just write
?

40thWC 2007? continuation.

Now I understand a little more about the difference in 'Race Report' between Bjorn & I.
Due to time difference & more participants than the 19 drivers GPL can have, in 2007 there were 2 races on the same track, but with about 6 hours difference
Don't know if it's the same with 2008, when I didn't participate.?
Here is the 2007 'Race Report' from Bjørn

Just to note, here we see several that we know, e.g. Claudio & Istyn.
Monaco refreshed my memory and I can sit & cry again...on lap 6, my Eagle engine said Kaboom.
