Season 18 Novices Trophy - Round 10 - Oulton ParkThe last race of the season is at Oulton Park situated near the small village of Little Budworth, Cheshire. This is quite a narrow track with some long straights and difficult braking areas. Turn 1 (Old Hall) will be busy on lap 1. There isn't a lot of room and anyone hitting the advertising hoardings on the outside will probably bounce back onto the track so please be careful. The circuit occupies much of the area which was previously the Oulton Estate. The track is set in the grounds of Oulton Hall. The circuit was originally developed by the Mid-Cheshire Car Club, with the track attracting crowds of 40,000 during the 1950s. Oulton Park regularly hosted the International Gold Cup event which attracted many Formula One teams (Stirling Moss won it 5 times), but as the F1 calendar shrank to include only Grand Prix events, the Cup became less well-known. The track is characterised by its rapidly changing gradients and blind crests leading into unforgiving corners. Among many British and foreign drivers it is considered one of the most challenging and thrilling circuits ever constructed.
The restriction that reserve drivers should not join the race server until there are only 30 mins of qualifying left is being relaxed for this race. We have enough grid slots to accomodate all the full-time and reserve drivers so there is no risk of a reserve driver taking a full-time driver's grid slot.
No drivers should go out on track until there is 30 minutes of qualifying left - this helps to ensure all the drivers have joined the server successfully before qualifying begins.
Please restrict chat to "pit in" / "pit out" messages, and at the end of the race avoid chat until
ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.
Please be in the IGOR UKGPL chatroom by 8:55 p.m.
