GPL in 2023
Worth the effort in hunting down and seeing if it runs? Many many happy memories hotlapping Wakins Glen and Solitude as a teen 20 years ago on my WinXP machine chasing leaderboard tables.
How does it stand up in todays iracing world? I have zero interest in onine hence condidering GPL once again. |

The simple fact is that it's still the best. Always has been. I confess I've not driven it (or anything else) for over a year, but when I get my steering wheel out again, it'll be GPL that I will drive....

Is it much of a faff to run in Win11 now? I tried in 7 and gave up as couple get much better than 24fps at the time compatibility issues were rift across peripherals.

I confess I've not tried it on my current Win11 computer. But it ran fine on 10.

Not the same as GPL of course, but you can now drive the Honda RA272 in GT7, which is quite fun.

I confess I'm not really 'up to speed' with developments any more.
What is your GPLRank (if that still exists)? I can't check mine as it's undergoing maintenance from the look of things. I think I was -34 or something like that. Our member Pirenzo attained quite a high rank, I believe, something in the -70's? |

I don't have a wheel or PC anymore but if did I think I would run GPL just for old times. It good to see that the game is still going however Sim Racing has come a long way since then with the likes of iRacing, ACC etc |

I wouldn't even know where to begin to bring you up to speed. So much has gone on but I hope you've sampled the 'recent' Spa and Monza track updates at least. Incredible work. |

By the way, GPLRank is down. But it is hoped to resurrect it. There is a new forum which is also trying to carry on after SRMZ died. http://gplaltern.gplracer.eu/index.php My aim is to have a serious go at the Nurburgring again. Although I'm negative there in all the cars my times are poor and my -35 GPL Rank suffers as a result. I still have my GPL Ranks copied from when it was up and there is also this which helps - http://gplaltern.gplracer.eu/showthr...d=2549#pid2549 I'm not planning on doing any online racing though. |

Well, I may be slow these days, but I can still beat the AI at Monza - even starting from 13th on the grid. (I only did one lap in practice).

Join the club! I love how we go away from GPL but we're always pulled back in. It's a testament to the folks who designed and built GPL that 25yrs later, it still runs on the latest systems (ok some tinkering might be needed on some systems but still!) That's what I call good design or maybe sheer luck? Love your passion for GPL by the way Aysedasi. |

Nice one. You might think you're slow but there are plenty of folks you could dice with online and have a blast doing so.
