Season 31-Joe Shaw Trophy – Tripoli Mellaha LakeFor several years UKGPL has staged a Joe Shaw Trophy series in remembrance of young Joe Shaw ( Beefpie) who raced with us before his tragic death. He was a seriously quick driver both here at GPL and in Real life motor sport.
As usual we will be using the original 67 cars and the points won over the three races will decide who gets their hands on the magnificent trophy that Malcolm Shaw ( Joe's father) has provided. The winner might like to join us at Brands Hatch for the race weekend on the 1st July where hopefully Malcom will join us to present the trophy.
Points are awarded on the historic scale, 9 for a win down to 1 point for 6th. The series will run over three rounds at Carthage, Tripoli & Adelaide.
For Round 2 we visit the desert again at Tripoli, to race at the dusty Mellaha Lake. It is a very fast circuit with probably only 2 real braking zones. Carrying speed is crucial here and those Ams who can use the faster cars AND be consistent might be in a position to challenge at the front of the field,
