I am soooooo proud of myself...seeing my creation on youtube in a stunning race. I hope you enjoyed it! That was my second track for GPL, just based on a track map and a handful of b/w images. So it's historical maybe not THAT correct, but absolutly fun to drive. And it was quiet hardware hungry those days, with all the trees. Thanks for showing that track! Keep racing!
exciting race to watch. there is something special about these graphics, with the chunky geometry, beautiful tree sprites, incredible looking cars with the shine of the paint and gearboxes... idk altogether its something else. im probably gonna have to get the game and this track. so much appreciation for everyone creating content for the community. thanks you.
Not too long ago I wouldn't have thought this was the sort of content I could sit around and watch for hours, but ever since I came across your channel at the beginning of this year I've been hooked. Your car experiments like the 60s GP cars on slicks brought me here, but your racing content and reviews of classic sims kept me here. Honestly, these full seasons you're doing are the greatest highlight and almost make me feel like they're giving me the chance to experience the sort of racing I was born too late to experience first hand.
I'd agree with that comment, I've never had a great attention span for videos much longer than 20 minutes but I can happily watch these videos for hours at a time.. great content
Whats always been more impressive, is the fact you're rattling off the history, know who is driving what, keeping the video interesting, and still keeping the car on the track! If I try that its either I'm talking and crashing, or not talking and staying on track. Love the videos!
Great to see Richie back in a Flying cigar tube, and a very intense race. Completely believable AI, not sure if its the game or skillful tinkering? Bandini battling like a man in 4th at a home track.
I have to say I normally don't watch whole races if they are rather long. Bud I did watch this one. And boy - such a great and exiting race and a fine history lession before that. Loving it! All my thumbs up. Thank you for that.
That was awesome! You are truly in a league of your own. Thank you for being so family friendly. I love watching Broadbent and some of the others but can't watch them with my wife and kids in the room as you never know what excrements are going to exit their mouths. Lol. Great race man!
Wow, what a race. Syracuse is one of my favorite tracks, so challenging and oh my these walls... I love to race there with the Maserati F250 in the '55 Mod for GPL.
I'm finally caught up on the 1966 season! I can't wait for the next race. I love what you're doing here, especially with mixing in the NASCAR and endurance races. This is my favorite content on UA-cam right now :-)
There was actually a promoter in the early 1990’s trying to organize a Syracuse Grand Prix in Syracuse, New York. They wanted to build a road course in the lakeside parking area across the highway from the New York State Fairgrounds, but they only got as far as some rudimentary track maps and sponsoring a couple of ARCA stock car series races at Pocono Speedway. ARCA was the highest level of racing they intended to target at the time. Thinking back on it, I’m not sure their proposed track would have fit in that area, and that whole area is industrial fill full of buried soda ash and other unpleasant stuff; the factory next door to the fairgrounds was dumping mercury and other industrial waste into Onondaga Lake and burying it on the shoreline for decades about 100 years ago, leaving it one of, if not the, most polluted lakes in any developed nation. Fun stuff.
Been waiting for this! Good stuff. Just did the same race today using the Lotus BRM in my own 66 season. A tough track, hectic , and hard to keep it off the walls for a full race!
I think you're one of the best at racing with ai out of anyone I can think of on youtube. It seems like a lot of people just try to plow through them and don't give them the same respect that they would give a real driver, which in my opinion makea the ai seem worse and less fun to drive with. You also seem to be really skilled at setting them up to be competitive and fair with you too
Liked before watching because, let's be honest, I know I'm going to like the video the moment it pops up in my sub box and it helps with the algorithm and whatnot. Also comment for algorithm food. If you're reading this and haven't liked and/or commented, do it! Thanks for the evening viewing Mr. Laps!
Fantastic video, can't wait to see more 👍 says something when if it all goes horribly wrong, your choice is either armco or brick walls 😲🤯🏁 the days of when 'Health' and 'Safety' were just two words in the dictionary 😂
from all your videos, i am amazed to see that after 22 years, GPL has the best AIs in the sense that they behave as real drivers, not morons that dont do anything on the track, and how much imersive this game is, and i mean for watch. Theres dozens of new games with amazing graphics, but thats all you got.
What a track to test new cars and engines on. An unexpected burst of power and you are slammed into a stone wall or worse flipped over by it. Were they insane ?
The last Syracuse Grand Prix was held one year later, in 1967: that race is notable as the only Formula 1 race in recorded history to finish in a dead heat.
If I have any criticism to this very trippy thing you're doing, it would be that the speed of the cars, I think, would exceed what they were doing in '66 and I base that on how fast you're running in relation to the trees. Maybe I'm all wrong. Trippy nonetheless and thanks for doing it,
What modern alternatives to GPL are there? AC's base content is very little, and I am yet to find a good mod. RF2 has some great cars from that era, but not enough to simulate a proper racing series and the mods feel a bit odd. Thanks.
Sure hope black jack takes notice of who has been performing above and beyond in one of his cars of late. Might not happen for Monaco, but one of those fancy Oldsmobile…errr….Repco engines sure would be nice. I think Richie has earned it by now. Btw, is Richie supposed to be in the 3rd works Brabham or is it a privately entered car?
Hola, soy un suscriptor de hace tiempo que solo ve tus videos por que me gustan pero no los entiendo nada, si pudieras poner subtítulos a tus videos mucha gente como yo estaría agradecida
question for any GPL players I downloaded the game and installed all the patches and the rasterisers and GEM+ but I cant get the game to launch in a full window despite setting the resolution for 1920x1080, when I boot into the game its a low resolution and the right half of the cockpit is cut off by the window any suggestions?
Great video as usual but at 1:45 the American date format ...jesus...the way the day gets put in the middle gives me an aneurysm. Use the global standard iso 8601, it works for Americans & civilised people alike! YYYY-MM-DD.
If that gives you an aneurism i would suggest consulting a doctor. The format of the date shown in a UA-cam video may be the least of your concerns lol

Thanks for making this circuit! Great to have in the sim!

Yes! Glad to see the 1966 season with Richie Axelson back!
Same love this series
"this deserves a hand raise" *pixellated stump rises aggressively*
Thank you for uploading so often, your content is the best!
I'm almost exhausted from sitting here and working hard to avoid the walls, lol.
My guts were taken hostage during the whole race. The end was epic.
"Never ever give Richie Axelson half a chance, He'll be up it like a ferret up a drainpipe!!"... as they say in Sicily
Martin Brundle: You’re right there, Murray!
Great to see Richie back in a Flying cigar tube, and a very intense race. Completely believable AI, not sure if its the game or skillful tinkering? Bandini battling like a man in 4th at a home track.
Fantastic series. Love the action and the commentary.
That was incredible!!! Multiple times I was holding my breath! Incredible racing and a wonderful spectacle!
The AI is mad impressive in this game. Also nice driving for talking through the whole thing. Respect.
Very good race with a lot of great battles. Fortunately no "Jim Clark accidents" :)
Racing with David Hobbs. Too cool.
Loved his F1 commentary. Wish he still did it.
I have to say I normally don't watch whole races if they are rather long. Bud I did watch this one. And boy - such a great and exiting race and a fine history lession before that. Loving it! All my thumbs up. Thank you for that.

That was exciting race to ride along with you. Talk about under pressure. Nice job looking forward to the points races.
So happy to see your channel take off like this.

Great to see Richie back on track
This was some great and exciting racing! - Great opener for the season.

Richie Axelson! My favorite American driver. Rumor has it he lives near me these day in Massachusetts.😂
Been waiting for this! Good stuff. Just did the same race today using the Lotus BRM in my own 66 season. A tough track, hectic , and hard to keep it off the walls for a full race!
been to siracusa just last month, didnt know they even held a race there. I visited targa florio though
Love this content, keep it up.
Great video. I didn't know that track. thanks for posting

Good job and nice driving congrats
A great Non Championship race. I need coming soon the Solitude Grand Prix.
Fantastic video, can't wait to see more 👍 says something when if it all goes horribly wrong, your choice is either armco or brick walls 😲🤯🏁 the days of when 'Health' and 'Safety' were just two words in the dictionary 😂
Ah, I always find myself liking those old, not-so-well-known, tracks of the past. They always had this, I don't know, sort of rustic charm to them.
That roady, natural, understated, non-artificial homely feel :) compared to cars from space on very carefully sculpted tracks.
Great racing. excellent :)

Good race - a little tense 8)
Awesome job. I enjoy what you do...
That game looks really good, especially for a game that came out in 1998!
I've been playing a lot of ACC but for pure adrenaline you just can't beat GPL.
Nascar 2003 is pretty intense as well. Both games really draw you in. Great fun!
The last Syracuse Grand Prix was held one year later, in 1967: that race is notable as the only Formula 1 race in recorded history to finish in a dead heat.
Hard-earned (NC) points there. They weren't gonna give an inch. Hopefully Gentleman Jack will give you the full 3L for Silverstone.
The hand model :D Awesome!
Yes!!! I’ve been anticipating this!
The tales of Richie Axelson inspired me to create my own sim racing persona: Igor Bardi. He will take part in the 1983 and 1984 f1 seasons
A shame he missed out on the years of ground effect eh
@@seankelly9292 ground effect + aspirated engine: ok
ground effect + turbo engine: MOTHERFUCKING DEATHTRAP
Tough track, but man is it fun to race on!
A modern masterpeice
Thank you
I think you just made enemies with Bandini well done
Neat old track. Later formed the basis of a permanent course that, as far as I can tell, is all but abandoned.
@GPLaps will you be doing the Targa Florio with Ginther? I'm excited for it!
My first ever online race with YAOL. I caused a crash on the first lap. Almost gave up online racing right there.
Those cars are either very tail happy with alot of front authority, or your foot is a bit on the heavy side :)
Great video man, btw can i play this game with mouse controls like gtr 2 ?
If I have any criticism to this very trippy thing you're doing, it would be that the speed of the cars, I think, would exceed what they were doing in '66 and I base that on how fast you're running in relation to the trees. Maybe I'm all wrong. Trippy nonetheless and thanks for doing it,
How do you get the pitboard to work? Mine shows up but the ratio is all off and I can't read it.

@Ken
Thank you!
Can GPL be set to a lower FOV? It's hard to focus on the center of the screen.
yes, using gem+ you can use any fov
I feel that bandini would hate your guts after 65'
Hi, when will we see Richie Axelson in action in F1 again? Is the World Championship continuing soon?
Ritchie for F1 champ in 1966!
Such a narrow track😳
Sure hope black jack takes notice of who has been performing above and beyond in one of his cars of late. Might not happen for Monaco, but one of those fancy Oldsmobile…errr….Repco engines sure would be nice. I think Richie has earned it by now.
Btw, is Richie supposed to be in the 3rd works Brabham or is it a privately entered car?
Privately entered, but supplied from Brabham. Richie’s contract for the full season is still in the works depending on car delivery

In the graphics options in GEM disable ‘Direct Mirror Rendering’
@@GPLaps Perfect! Just got working correctly Thank you sir!
what is that background music?

Nice! Is this a new headcanon for Richie Axelson or are you still following the "Let's Race" headcanon from way back?
He talked about his 1965 crash with Jim Clark in Syracuse so probably stil 1965 let's race head canon
STIG I thought so. He did play thru the let’s race 1966 season up to Spa a long time ago. I wonder if we’ll see the Eagle-Weslake later on?
Where did you get GPL?
9 races and 3 fillers. total of 12 races.
Syracuse is an interesting place, tons of history but now very poor. Much like almost all of Sicily really. And very very hot in August!
