I have created this topic so no one misses a fix (especially important for SERVERS) made by Tommie (TvO) a couple of years ago.
The issue was initially reported by Cookie / UKGPL in the GPL Repository forum: 69xtra bug needs a fix.

69x mod makes double driver numbers at a full grid!
We have full grids at UKGPL and troubles at several races.
This seems to make the server dizzy and gives lots of extra work when importing the results to the UKGPL database.

The server takes it's starting numbers from the AI lineup drvc69.ini. This file had both Jacky Ickx and Pedro Rodriguez with starting number 12. I've changed Ickx' number to 7, which was unused in the generic drvc69.ini.
The new drvc69.ini (www.grandprixlegends.co.nf/files/drvc69.ini) must be placed in the root Grand Prix Legends folder.
This fix is recommended for EVERY server hosting 69x, although the bug only occurs when the grid is already filled with 16 drivers or more.

P.S. According to Cookie's posts in another topic, this fix may also solve other issues when playing the mod offline (AI, crashes, etc.).
