Technical Regulations
General
- Drivers must use Grand Prix Legends version 1.2. The use of the DiscoFix patch is strongly encouraged.
- Championship races and most other league races will use bandwidth
settings equivalent to 4 ahead and 2 behind. Drivers are required to
download Bart Westra's
BWpatch - place it in the GPL directory and make sure option 1
("more cars patch") is applied.
The easiest way to get the required patches is to use the Grand Prix Legends Preservation Society installer.
You can also download the basics from here.
- Modification of the GPL executable and data files is only permitted
if the modification does not give a performance advantage to the driver
compared to drivers using a copy of GPL without the modification.
Modifications that have only cosmetic effects are permitted.
- Drivers are strongly discouraged from using traction or braking help
as this severely compromises the car's performance and introduces a
performance gap to unassisted cars which is both hazardous and not in
keeping with UKGPL's aim of close racing.
Cars
- Unless otherwise stated, all UKGPL league races will use the standard 1967 cars as supplied as part of GPL.
- Changing the performance or handling characteristics of any car, other than by means of the car setup, is forbidden.
- Prohibited changes include, but are not limited to, the following:
- changing an engine's power characteristics or weight
- changing an engine's fuel consumption
- changing which engine each car uses
- changing a car's weight and weight distribution
- changing a car's size
- changing a car's basic suspension characteristics
- changing the grip or temperature characteristics of the tyres
- The use of any add-on car choice in addition to the seven cars provided as standard is forbidden.
- A driver may change a car's setup parameters outside of the range of values permitted by GPL 1.2's built-in setup editor using one of the
publicly available setup tools such as GPL Race Engineer.
Tracks
- Modifying the graphics of a track is permitted without restriction. This includes the creation of additional brake markers.
- Modification of the physical characteristics of the track is not permitted. Forbidden modifications include, but are not limited to, the following:
- changing the layout of the track
- changing any part of the track surface to alter its grip characteristics
- removal or addition of trackside objects with which a car may come into contact
- changing any parameters which may affect a car's performance and handling characteristics, for example track temperature or altitude
- Where an add-on track is being used, if there are multiple versions of a track with different physical layouts, the race moderator will state which version must be used.
