1955 F1 R07 German Grand Prix - Grand Prix Legends

[@PunishedV]

Glad to see this series is not dead, keep doing great work man.

[@NazarovVv]

Brother, when I started watching your content (the 1965) season I wasn’t even married yet. As of this video my kid is in first grade and you still haven’t finished the goddamned season! I jest, good video as usual!

[@alec7568]

This game looks too damn good for 1998. I thought it was a recent independent game.

[@devinhorner2358]

Very excited to see a new championship race! I love the thread of the Axelson storyline that ties all the races together in a season.

[@d3bo552]

I was thinking about this series like an hour ago

[@MichaelRoma91]

Yes! I was hoping you’d continue the 1955 season

[@fartvader84yearsago8]

Ah yes, thanks KZbin recommendations, you nailed it again.

[@TotoDG]

8:50. Thunderbolts and lightning.

[@jamesbehra2690]

Very good news! The quality of this mod is really amazing !

[@mooreanonumbers]

Seeing Ascari in this race is quite eerie

[@riderofthemark6661]

Great race I love this series! Would be cool to see another championship with Mercedes Lancia or Maserati

[@Josiah_Yam]

16:12 The chicane was installed in 1967, not 1966, to slow the light, agile cars of the time. It is still in use today.

[@RalonsoF1]

I take a seat, already for watching this!

[@hansbierhuis6142]

You deserve so many more views man, this is awesome!

[@dannercroll8553]

I cannot wait for this!! I was hoping you'd revive this series!!! Thanks to your post about the 2020 demo of GPL, been trying to play it for a few years now but am not technologically inclined enough to get random downloads of it to work.

[@CSM13]

Haha same

[@Fadedecho1]

Wow awesome haven't seen these cars in a long time. Pretty kool I love it. I saw it one time. Tysm for sharing

[@seanomatopoeia]

I adore this series!

[@Moregano]

I've been waiting almost a year thank you! Now please not another year til the next if possible haha

[@jasonkent3658]

Good drive ran the cars pace manage breaks well. Drove to the limit of your car at that particular track good job

[@Antraxo]

You're the best :D!

[@gr0bbelaar]

These videos are brilliant. The jump which you call Flugplatz is actually Quiddelbacher Höhe. Flugplatz is the following right hand sweeper, and got it's name from the site being a paragliding location.

[@C.I...]

It's a more fitting name for this jump, though, as it's like cars are taking off from the airfield.

[@gr0bbelaar]

@@C.I... Yes, that's likely why people are mixing the two corners up and getting the names wrong.

[@TalesFromTheBlahSide]

That section down to Aremberg Fangio referred to as the ski run.

[@MaxScheibenpflug]

[@C.I...]

Not sure why everyone uses this version of the Nordschliefe. I find the textures of this version difficult to look at, even compared to the original game. I can't remember what my version is a called, but it doesn't have muddy brown grass, dark tarmac, and mismatched stretchy nuclear trees and flat bushes that hang in the air. It's way more sparse compared to this one, but it's a tradeoff that I think is worth it. Nice tarmac, though.

[@armorgeddon]

Would be great if you could find out the name of the version you're using!

[@C.I...]

@@armorgeddon Looking through my files and a thread, I can't narrow it down past the fact it might be either "dunky" or "XKelaa/XK" versions - not sure. Plus some stuff from this thread: srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=3770&st=0 There could already be far better stuff out there for it, but I have been away from the scene for a while.

[@denizyeter4935]

Wow they had very impressive graphics back in 1955.

[@Michael_Lorenson]

Good race, you are tempting me to take up GPL again.

[@GPLaps]

Do it, do it !

[@Michael_Lorenson]

@@GPLaps Well, I just downloaded the Assetto Corsa GPL mod. I've only driven the Eagle thus far, but it was good. You can sense the original Sierra GPL 'DNA' in that car's behavior. I do miss the vintage atmosphere of GPL. And the AI, which (I agree with you) are still among the best.

[@johnhansen4593]

Hi i love the 1955 GPL but i cant finde the run on Monza track

[@CSM13]

Yessssss love your content

[@edwardburek1717]

What's going to happen if there's no Pedralbes circuit to race on? Are you going to, ahem, "persuade" the race organisers to use Montjuic Park instead?

[@mmtomori]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@herzglass]

Hello. You have a new subscriber.

[@carlossolo07]

I want to play GPL using mouse as joystick because my steering wheel joystick isnt working... Its possible?

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

Epic!

[@ThePoison38]

Hey dumb question. Do you do all the point calculations yourself in a spreadsheet, or does GPL automatically track the results?

[@GPLaps]

You can run in “championship” mode in gpl where it will calculate for you, i do it manually

[@hairmachine1284]

Oh man, psyched!

[@enrikumara8701]

Gp laps at its best!

[@TheHatton93]

Its back!!

[@RealSituationRS]

Класс!!👍

[@francescocirillo7631]

what about round 6 ?

[@pingstag]

172 corners Was the original layout????

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Regarding brake fade, in modern cars, it's more about heat. Boiling the brake fluid will rob you of any brakes, and when it happens you just have zero brake. In racing though it might be different depending on the money involved in the sport. I'm sure F1 has gotten around that problem.

[@Michael_Lorenson]

It's always about heat. Always. In drum brakes, the friction material on the brake shoes became too hot to do its job, so you got fade but usually without a soft pedal. It was also possible for brake drums to become 'bell-shaped' as the metal softened due to excessive heat, which reduces the contact area between brake shoe and brake drum. Due to their basic design, and their higher clamping forces, disk brakes produce more heat AND transfer heat to the fluid more readily. As friction materials improved, even more heat was generated. So with disk brakes, it is the fluid that fails before the pads get too hot to produce friction. Modern brake fluids can be stable to something like 600 F, while friction materials can take far more. So the fluid boils first, and the pedal goes soft.

[@NeonsStyleHD]

@@Michael_Lorenson Yes, and once the fluid boils, air bubbles form in the brake fluid and that is why you lose your brakes. It gives a very very spongy pedal.

[@johndawhale3197]

Got me lookin'...got me lookin' so crazy in love... Uh oh. Uh oh. Uh oh. Oh no no... GPLAPS FOR PRESIDENT 2024.

[@krisztm7221]

can I play this game with h-pattern gearbox controller ?

[@GPLaps]

Yes! Search for GPLShift

[@krisztm7221]

@@GPLaps Ok , thanks.

[@bookedfive]

Nice

[@Villoresi]

Not pissed, but frustrated sometimes. I mean, it's a bit like, "Well, if you really want the results, you kind of have to push." You figure out how to take the tougher parts better, even, or especially, those "frightening" corners, since that's what's required to make the time and positions. In particular, I'll say that you look to drive quite "straight", not power-sliding perhaps as much as you'll have to to get the most potential pace. And no, having grown up with Macs, not PCs, and that still being the case, with little chance of changing any time soon, yeah, I'd love the chance to practice this stuff myself on a reliable basis, even with my lousy eyesight, but there just hasn't been the opportunity. All that said, there does seem to be something possibly a bit off. That is, in reality, these lap times weren't seen until 1957, when Fangio in the Maserati 250F turned a 9:25.6 for Pole, and then bettered that to a 9:17.4 in the race. And of course, that was on a course that didn't include the Hohenrain chicane, unlike what we have here in GPL And actually, the Metzgesfeld-to-Kallenhard segment may have been more open (i.e. faster) back then (prior to 1973) than what is depicted here.

[@lolshark99b49]

Man, I always burn up the brakes in the '55s

[@glenndjubilee]

Mickey Mouse part of the circuit? IMHO it was one of the best parts of the circuit before they destroyed it.

[@GPLaps]

Ah yeah, not meant in an offensive way. I don’t really like the modern GP circuit and it really doesnt fit the rest of the Nordschleife. The simplistic zielschleife is perfect for it

[@philipcooper8297]

Now this is podracing!

[@johnwallace4797]

What a hideous track! Kraut motocross in the dark. Congrats for not flying off some cliff because you had no idea where you were going...

[@Nugget11578]

As far as I know beamng is the only modern sim that has brake fade. however I'm sure you could make it built into a cars mod on ac, like that new lmp car mod that simulates flow detachment for the aero

[@MFKR696]

Why would you bother with a game like this when there are better options like Assetto Corsa out there? Seems like a waste of time to me.

[@MFKR696]

@@SOIBand I didn't realize that at all. Thanks for the heads-up.

[@BD12]

yeah, unfortunately every game has something that the others don't. I still think about playing GP4 just because it has marshals to push crashed cars off the road, haha.
