Season 27 Privateers Trophy - Round 9 - Parco Sempione

Parco Sempione ("Simplon Park") is a large city park in Milan. The park was established in 1888 but the circuit dates from 1937 when the likes of Nuvolari, Rudolf Caracciola and Bernd Rosemeyer drove outrageous cars like the Mercedes-Benz W125 and Auto Union Type C.  A very tight track characteristic of the early days of motor sport, public roads and virtually no concept of safety precautions.

Driver lists and token rules can be found on the championship standings page

The full time drivers can start to practice as soon as the server is available.  Reserve drivers can also join as soon as the server becomes available but must leave the server with 35 minutes of qualifying left, for a total of 5 minutes; this will allow any remaining full timers to join.  If there is enough space on the grid, the reserve drivers will be able to rejoin when there are 30 mins of qualifying left.  

Moderating The red zone will be fully moderated for lap 1 only. For this event the red zone will be from the start to the exit of the Piazza Sempione. Other moderation will be on reported incidents only.  However any incidents that occur in the red zone that are not reported by the drivers will be reported by the moderator.  This will allow all affected drivers the opportunity to present their case before the incident is moderated.  This should ensure there are no surprises when the moderator's report is published and hence appeals will be less likely.  If you haven't received a PM about an incident before the link below the results table is removed, you can be sure that you will not appear in the moderator's report.

The chassis token system is explained on the Privateers standings page. Please ensure you choose a chassis that is within your budget, which can be seen by hovering the mouse over your points total in the standings.

Please restrict chat to pit messages including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

It's an easy track to learn Dave but it does require concentration to drive it safely.  Like most street circuits it is a bit unforgiving but that is why it's on the calendar, it is a different type of challenge.

Evidently is destiny.This time i was in an unexpected 4th position and my goal,the 50% of the race,was near but at the 17th lap the Brabham of cg7aa(i think) hit me with a classic rear bump.Unfortunately my car finish into the bail,so shift R.After the stop and go,nor 1km,and the engine explode at only 2 laps from the target.Is the third time that this happen,i have collected the same at Glenn,Imola and here at Sempione.
My replay give me an error,so i'm not able to view the incident but ,in any case,I'm a little angry for this incident.

Results imported, replay uploaded. Last race is the Surfers Paradise race to be re-run 4th January 2015. Good luck folks!

I accept your apologies,also because we are at Christmas ,but you can understand my frustration.

Unfortunately i can't view the replay,also the replay downloaded from UKGPL give me an error.If possible i try to finish the next race.

Anyway
Happy Christmas to you and all the others pilots.

I did some trainings (around 30 laps) the days before the race.
After that, it appears to me this track is much more easy than Monaco for example.

During the race, George was following me at only 3-4 seconds during the first part of the race.
Then, he certainly did several mistakes, because I saw Jonny'O 2nd at 45 sec.
From this moment, I just tried to run regurlarly without taking useless risks.

The end of Jonny's race was really brilliant, I was running between 1'15 and 1'17 but the gap was continuously decreasing : 45s, 40s, 37s, 31sec and finally only 28,9sec.
Jonny connected to the server only 5 minutes before the start and was last on the grid ...if it was not the case  to win would have been very difficult for me !

Grats to Jonny and George, the 2 other finishers.
Grats also to the 4 other drivers who were not afraid to fight on such a track !
