@@Xerroxify Also GTL is almost 20 years old... And clearly GTR2 does it better anyway lol... My point still stands though, best you can get for a download and play option is Pcars2 with the Lemans dlc, and even that is annoying sometimes due too Pcars' terrible physics
I marvel at your commitment to historical recreations. Thanks for producing such engaging and watchable content. Cheers from Canada (where I watched the Daytona Roar coverage yesterday, just to remember that not everyone is encased in an icy tomb!)
So much for my quiet night relaxing after work. Saw this and thought, I'll just watch the start and a few laps and eek it out over the week. On the edge of my seat for, what, 4 hours. Need a rest to get over that now. You couldn't script this stuff, awesome content. Richie Axelson's 1966 season looks full of promise...beating Ferrari must be sweet, right? Others have said it but, your stuff is just so 'king watchable.
I had the first two GTR games when I was a kid! I was way too young to understand what I was doing, and played with the keyboard, but the game is still so nostalgic for me!
Fantastic video! I was so gripped by your storytelling that I stayed up very late at night watching your night stints! You do an incredible job at giving the viewer a feeling of watching a live race, thanks very much for all your hard work putting this together. Never a dull moment in 4 hours!
Thanks so much for the extraordinary effort, this was entertaining as hell from start to finish! Although I gotta say, if the game was "drink every time GPL bottles it in turn 1" I'd have died a long time ago 😂 jokes aside, fantastic racing
His brakes, tires and transmission would thank him if he would lift earlier for turn 1. There'd be a lot less drama and lost time too hehe. I loved the video though!
Epic ! Great job, Jake. When i saw this video was over 4 hours, intended to just grab few snippets here and there,,,,,,,however, i watched whole thing. Enthralling and excellent, fantasic, thanks :)
Although I’m into rally… I respect circuit racing and man, I learned so much about RWD handling from these videos, so thank you Jake for being in sim racing ! 🙌🏾🙏🏾🏎️
My new favorite series. I started trying to collect cars to form a 1970s grid so I can rip around in the Porsche 917 in Asseto Corsa. As impressive as your driving is, I'm more impressed you're able to talk and be interesting through the whole (I'm at the 2 hour mark). I started with Daytona but going to start from the beginning and come back to it.
I agree with Johnnas - the most unique, special and watchable simracing content on UA-cam! I've been simracing since the beginning and I find this the most impressive video action yet.
brilliant content man. only just come across you with this video. Your Axelson story reassured me what I'm trying to do with an RPG style career story is worth it man. Great content. Defo got a new Subscriber in me
If you were taking a drink every time he called the Alfa TZ a Ferrari as he passed it, congratulations, you've died of liver failure! In all seriousness, though, this was awesome to watch Jake. Looking forward to the next event on Richie's 1966 calendar.
I wonder if I can get anyone to play a drinking game with me...anytime you say "down into first" we down a shot? Love these 1966 races great great stuff.
Love the event and your dedication in making this race happen and getting it done, great job! However, I would get frustrated when you'd forget your braking point into turn one even after 4 hours of racing ;) And you're too nice allowing the others cars to over take you in the corners... Anyway all good .02¢
You can actually use the "XD" hud for all of the ISI engine games, like GTR2. It will give you more information about the standings, the engine wear, tire wear and much more. Can help you make faster pit stops as well, as you can change the tire pressure, amount of liters and repair or not the damage of the car.
Anyone know why the infield was reconfigured? Looked around online for answers a couple of times through the years, but never discovered the reasons. The old section that got lopped off is still present but abandoned in 1995 aerial imagery years after the reconfiguration (Built over these days with I believe RV parking sites), so I assume expansion of something like the garage wasn't behind it.
It might have been for safety reasons. You dont necessarily want to push the barrier further away because then the fans cant really see. So reducing the length of that straight reduces the speed. Just a theory though!
www.racingcircuits.info/north-america/usa/daytona.html in that site there is a detailed revision of all the layout changes, but I don't know the exact reasons why it got shortened
The loud red "Ferrari" #43 is actually an Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2, with a (very noisy) 1.6L straight-4 engine. The plate (UD10...) is from my city, Udine, because until 1966 racing Alfas were builded by Auto Delta (why the Alfa Romeo race department was based in a small town 400km from Milan is a nice story to tell...)
You're a crazy man. You won an 8 hours race with these cars (228 laps completed!)... absolutely stunning! I instantly loved your content and I'm glad to have discovered your channel. Now two questions: have you ever tried the "Absolute Le Mans Plus" (1) mod for GTR2? And, are you planning to do a long race on some historic italian tracks (like Monza or Imola , I'm italian ;) )?
I don't know if the author said that 'cause I skipped a part of the intro. GTR2 has an issue: after one hour of race the AI slows down a lot. When I made endurance races I found out that saving and exiting the game solve the problem.
Im trying to post a comment, i made some of the cars (well, the Ferrari) you see in the video, but youtube (or GPlaps) keeps deleting my comment for some reason...
hey there, im not deleting it. i keep seeing is disappear as well. I just wanted to say i found the car on the evolution modding forums, its beautiful!! Great work
@@GPLaps wow. Im speechless! Its such an honor. Anyways what i was trying to say in the comment, im making a 1967 World Sportscar Championship mod for GTR2 which can be found on evolution-modding forums and trackaholics forums. Its in beta stage currently with around 35 cars for each of the 8 tracks and more to come. It will recreate the 1967 WSC season to the last car! I had the intention of writing to you about a possible mod review, since i knew you would be interested in the mod, but i never could have dreamed that you would find it so early. Once the V1.0 comes out sometimes this year, i will let you know :D Thank you for the praise, and enjoy the cars (as much as its possible to enjoy them in their current beta form :D)
Thank you again for your videos which are always great moments of Motorsport history. One question: Is the GTR2 mod you use for this 1966 Daytona 24 hour simulation derived from Power & Glory? I know this mod well which contains in the V3 release Ford GT 40 Mk I and Mk II, Porsche 906, Corvettes but no Ferrari 330 P2, nor Chaparral!
Hi Michel, its a mix between the Power and Glory mod as well as the WSCC mod over at Evolution modding. I also converted a couple of cars like the Porsche 904 from GT legends
Hey I have a question I went to the classtracks on line. I have assetta corsa ps4. If I buy the games is there a way to apply the tracks to the ps4. Really enjoyed that video and want to use it for the game. Thank for your help.
@@GPLaps Are you sure? I don't have GTR 2, but in other ISI engine games (F1 Challenge 99-02, RACE 07) you can view the full race replay in the Replay Theater (not Instant Replay).
Honestly the most watchable simracing content on youtube right now, keep it up
100% agree. It is top right now. The races, the naration and the passion. The whole package.
It reminds me of the old broadbent videos, i like it alot
Absolutely, really invested in this playlist. Haven't found that before.
agreed, not over the top, not internal.jokes,.not directed to.small.kids
just.good and.informed comments
True!
As someone who worked on the GPL 65, 66 and 69 mods, and Power & Glory, it is great to see them being used in 2021. Thank you so much for the videos.
Hi David! Fellow P&G team member here, good times!
Well i can say i just installed P&G earlier today. It is a lot of fun!
Our friend Ritchie is really racking up the air miles this season.
Again, why don't we have a game dedicated for vintage racecars on vintage race tracks...
There is GT Legends.
@@Xerroxify It's not really about vintage tracks though...
@@Xerroxify Also GTL is almost 20 years old... And clearly GTR2 does it better anyway lol...
My point still stands though, best you can get for a download and play option is Pcars2 with the Lemans dlc, and even that is annoying sometimes due too Pcars' terrible physics
@@locomotivebreath9364 Without modding I think it's closest You can get.
Assetto Corsa....
This is the best simracing content on UA-cam. Every time I watch a video I get inspired about historical racing.
Anyone else think those brake markers look like sale price-tags at a super-market? Great vid, Jake thanks for posting this.
Haha i was thinking the same.
If you look in his mirror as he passes Gurney’s spinning car, you can see Gurney get punted by Bruce McLaren in horrific fashion.
@@oscarsarstrup684 don’t tell Jake that, it’ll ruin his series plans for the future!
@@landoflogic107 sorry
Well spotted, he really flies
I marvel at your commitment to historical recreations. Thanks for producing such engaging and watchable content. Cheers from Canada (where I watched the Daytona Roar coverage yesterday, just to remember that not everyone is encased in an icy tomb!)
This video encapsulates what historical sim racing is all about. Absolutely outstanding production, Jake!
This is incredible, Jake! I never expected sportscar racing to be added to this series, but I'm so happy to see it!
👍

GTR2 and RBR - these will never get old.

Great video GPLaps.
One of your best.
I don’t know how you talk for so long dude true dedication
Such an achievement to finish this monster of a race. We need to see behind the scenes or any kind of "making of". Great great job. Well done!

This is just completely fantastic. I'm loving it! Man that turn 1 is such a challenge in these beasts.
I can’t believe I watched the whole race! Great work.
Your content is wonderful.
I agree with Johnnas - the most unique, special and watchable simracing content on UA-cam! I've been simracing since the beginning and I find this the most impressive video action yet.
Always feels like a true achievement coming out of an endurance race. Especially in first position! Well done.
The momories of playing GTR2. Thank you fof this!
I can see why this took a while to come out. You really don't disappoint do you?
that brutal sound of that ford is pure eargasm
took me a couple days of dedicated free time but watched through the whole thing, great drive and great content!
Me noticing 3min in that he uploaded the entire 4h of his driving. What a madlad
This dude has talent on the track and the mic- like an old school wrestler.
193 mph with such a vintage GT car and even with full tanks! WOW! Awesome video content, again GPLaps! 👍👍👍
holy jesus, GTR2 is just the GOAT of GT sims
Agreed, it was just soo complete and if the numbers are put in right the physics are absolutely amazing. Power and glory being an excellent example.
I used to love gtr2
In it's day it was probably the best sim available.
@@utkarshchaurasia2233 was power and glory an indycar mod ?
Remarkable job in this episode. Great win congrats! 😁
Another awesome vid! Hope Richie has some more sports car outings in the future
Great race to watch. Congrats on P1 :) Made my days work fun to watch this why I worked :)
The end of lap 6 😳
All hell broke loose
Enjoyed the whole thing, great job on such an effort. Should open some great opportunities for Richie
Soooo underrated needs more subs now
Well done! Hope this means a trip to France in June!
Great race and biggest acomplishment of Richie Axelson career so far! Looking forward to next races and championship that will come!
@GPLaps Absolute death in your mirror at 18:08

would love to see your entire 66 series for GTR2 as a playlist
18:07 you can see that disaster in the rear view, just as GP says crazy stuff happening lol.
I wonder if I can get anyone to play a drinking game with me...anytime you say "down into first" we down a shot? Love these 1966 races great great stuff.
Great race. Really enjoying your videos. Might have a look at GTR2 myself.
Great video! The track layout quite a bit different back then.
Thnakyou. I have issues trying to figure out what the layout old daytona did.
Love the event and your dedication in making this race happen and getting it done, great job! However, I would get frustrated when you'd forget your braking point into turn one even after 4 hours of racing ;) And you're too nice allowing the others cars to over take you in the corners... Anyway all good .02¢
Speed/cleanliness 8.1
Presentation 10
Stamina 11
Total 9.7
GTR2? Hell yeah.
You can actually use the "XD" hud for all of the ISI engine games, like GTR2. It will give you more information about the standings, the engine wear, tire wear and much more. Can help you make faster pit stops as well, as you can change the tire pressure, amount of liters and repair or not the damage of the car.
He usually prefers no hud on though to keep it more immersive and authentic to the time period.
@@Dethmeister Yes i remember that but maybe he can use it only on the put stops, not to lose time to the AIs, as the hud had On/Off button.
17:45 JEEZUS.
I'm sure McLaren and Gurney collided, making Gurney the red car upside down and giving McLaren irreparable damage
I NEVER watch a 4.5 hour UA-cam vid! I did this one!

Woo GTR2 and Power & Glory mod!
Published on a Monday means I will have to watch it one stint/day...
This game still has really good audio.
WHAT. So cool.
The loud red "Ferrari" #43 is actually an Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2, with a (very noisy) 1.6L straight-4 engine. The plate (UD10...) is from my city, Udine, because until 1966 racing Alfas were builded by Auto Delta (why the Alfa Romeo race department was based in a small town 400km from Milan is a nice story to tell...)
Fatigue setting in on the last laps
I just started watching this.
So, if Richie beats Ken Miles, how high is the chance he will get his ride for Le Mans?
Hey it wasn't Ken's fault the car broke down... But maybe he takes Hulme's 😏
Any chance you can compile these cars into a download? Obviously you would need the creators of the cars permission.
18:01 that's your f1 team boss 😂
You're a crazy man. You won an 8 hours race with these cars (228 laps completed!)... absolutely stunning! I instantly loved your content and I'm glad to have discovered your channel.

And what was up with the Sunbeam? Bumper cars out there. :-)
Oh my I played the shit out of GTR2 before moving to AC. The memories man.
Hohohohohohohoooooooooo I’ve got my day made for me today!!
Its like a trampoline when it goes on the grass
Wow! Just wow! )
THAT SOUND!!
THE GT-40 WAS FOR **MEN**
Enjoyed the ride, good history on racing. Where can I purchase this sim? Thanks
Big crash if you look through the mirror at 18:07
Just saw it, they dead.
Yeah that was McLaren slamming into Gurney as he was sideways on the track.
This is so nice to watch keep it up!! And uh is the ‘loud’ ‘ferrari’ not a Alfa?
Car on fire... Car sideways... Car upside down.... My bingo card was filled by lap eight.
Should have been flagged. Mr Axelsson just blew through
2:32:21 What a moment!
So for Sebring will Hulman and Moody keep the R&R boys together or will Carroll Shelby be making a long distance call to Australia.
Same with LeMans.
What's with the waiting to the last possible second to brake at 3:36:09 with a nearly two-minute lead?
eh i make mistakes sometimes
I don't know if the author said that 'cause I skipped a part of the intro. GTR2 has an issue: after one hour of race the AI slows down a lot. When I made endurance races I found out that saving and exiting the game solve the problem.
@GPLaps how did you merge the cars with the P&G mods. For some reason I fail everytime. Don't get the 250LM working etc😭
We need a list of mods, and where you got them... Race department only has about 300 downloads for GTR2

GP,
GTR2 was launched in September 29th, 2006. Not early 2000s.
Excellent work, as usual.
I would've loved to see a Emptybox style carnage report of this race
The replay system only saves a few seconds of footage unfortunately
@@GPLaps Are you sure? I don't have GTR 2, but in other ISI engine games (F1 Challenge 99-02, RACE 07) you can view the full race replay in the Replay Theater (not Instant Replay).
Has any game done offline endurance racing as well as GTR2?
Not really!
Maybe iRacing’s AI
17:41 Passing under the yellow flag!
Where can I find this track?
How can I to play with GPL on my pc?
What’s the deal with the barrels with smoke rising out of them?
~atmosphere~ but seriously not sure. it was very cold in 1966 so maybe theyre little fires to warm everyone up!
Theres something that would never fly today!
@@GPLaps I thought so but was unsure since it’s normally not THAT cold in Florida. (Even if it is January)
Looks like the high on February 5th 1966 in Daytona Beach was 47 degrees farenheit! Seems like perfect bonfire weather to me!
I'm pretty sure they are suppose to represent bbq's
