"If you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium, and are already dead" - sound familiar, this is your second chance to prove your are a Maximus not a Commodus... If you think you have what it takes plus a comfy chair join us for a battle royale round Silverstone for 75 laps on PRO; girlie wirlies need not apply. Be thankful GPL won't let us do more laps then that without fuel issues... The race will not be moderated - shrinking violets and one lap wonders will be dealt with by the sword of ascerbic posts.
Race List = IGOR Server = UKGPL_T7_2 IP address = 62.149.202.168 Race date = 16-03-2010 Time = 20:30 GMT (please note earlier start time due to the race length) Track = Silverstone Variant = Variant = 69F1 Damage Model = PRO Chassis = any you dare Qualifying time = 20 minutes. Race length = LONG LONG LONG (75 laps) Password: no password Download the track from here; original Papy track
Silverstone is built on the site of a World War II bomber base, RAF Silverstone, which opened in 1943. The track hosted the first F1 championship race in 1950. The British Grand Prix has been permanently held here since 1987 although it is due to switch to Donnington Park in 2010. The airfield's three runways, in classic WWII triangle format, lie within the outline of the present track. The first two races were held on the runways themselves, with the 1949 International Trophy switching to the perimeter track. This arrangement was used for the 1950 and 1951 Grands Prix. In 1952 the start line was moved from the Farm Straight to the present Finish Straight, and this layout remained largely unaltered for the following 35 years. Since 1975 the track has been modified with the introduction of chicanes etc – we are using the 1960’s layout.

Haha, yeah, just noticed that.
If it's just Silverstone though, 67s 80 laps race lasts about 2 hours, so I'd imagine 69s 75 laps to be just over hour and a half, hour and 40?

I've always enjoyed full length NASCAR races and enduro GT/TC stuff so will try to make this - it'll be interesting to see how painfull GPL is on a long event. Think I'll need something better than my ricketty chair with the pillow on it though!

Think I'll need something better than my ricketty chair with the pillow on it though! I'm thinking reclining chair with electric massage pack, 1 x 4pack Red Bull, a selection of snacks and nibbles and a pair of sunglasses ( don't know why I need sunglasses, but maybe it will improve my image?? ).

Is there any chance the race can be started an hour earlier due to the increase in length?

Fair point. 8 is a bit too early for me. How about 8.30pm with only 20 mins qually?

Sounds acceptable. Since the BRM is closest to Waza White (patent pending), I'll claim that sultry V12 as my chariot.

Last season's Iron Man event was great fun - looking forward to this one. Though might be an idea to put the start time change in MASSIVE font as some people are bound to miss that.

Ooops just realised what you meant, copied over from the last race - anyway now fixed. You won't have to traverse continents
