Season 27 Historic Trophy - Round 8 - ZeltwegThe 8th race finds us in Zeltweg. Zeltweg - the original Österreichring.
Originally built in 1969 to replace the bland and bumpy Zeltweg Airfield circuit, the track was known for being very fast, as every corner was a fast sweeper and taken in no lower than 3rd gear in a 5-speed gearbox and 4th in a 6-speed gearbox. There are also noticeable changes in elevation during the course of a lap which means the downhill sections are even faster. Like most fast circuits it was a hard circuit on engines and even harder on tyres simply because the speeds were so consistently high.
There will be full moderation of lap one
Red Zone and reported incidents for the rest of the race. Please submit incident reports within a week after the race so that the moderators report may be out before the next race.
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.
Please restrict chat to pit messages including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.
The race will be run under PRO rules so no resets are allowed.
For THIS RACE, 2 liter cars must be selected
As with Round 7, the leaders are asked to restrict themselves to Group I and Group II.
Handicapping could well make a difference here but so far it does not seem to affect the leaders too adversely and the restrictions stay the same. Could make a difference here though.
