Season 33 Graduates Cup – Round 3 – Oulton Park
Round 3 takes place at Oulton Park in the UK. The track is set in the grounds of Oulton Hall, which were used as an army staging camp by General Patton prior to the Normandy landings. At this time the famous boxer Joe Louis gave exhibition bouts at Oulton Park in the vicinity of the Deer Leap section of the circuit. GPL members are kindly requested not to resort to this sort of behaviour. The track is characterised by rapidly changing gradients, blind crests and several tight corners. The full circuit is 2.8 mi (4.5 km).
The registrations for this seasons Graduates Cup are not sufficient to support separate grids. Therefore, both Works & Privateers drivers will participate on the same grid. All drivers have the same tokens allocations. We will, however, run two championships, & separate points will be scored for each. A Privateer may finish the actual race 5th, but still win the Privateers race. The race will be moderated as a combined grid. Privateers are asked not to hold up a Works driver whilst being lapped, but you may race fairly for track position.
The important difference is that Privateers are permitted one reset with a compulsory Stop & Go. Although the race setting is “Intermediate” Works drivers are not allowed to take a reset.

Grats to the podium Everything has gone wrong this season & was close to not getting to this race because of F1. I've almost forgotten this track, & my old setup I didn't understand (maybe 10 laps inside the race) came too close to a couple (SRY)...but the worst thing, my Honda engine said KABOOM (lap 28?). Drove into the grass to park & pressed S-R & it worked ...unfortunately not for me completely legal

My worst race for a long time. Bumped the car twice in two laps which knocked something loose & the normally dependable Brabham became a pig to drive after that. I probably set the UKGPL record for being lapped. I think I kept out of the way fairly well apart from one minor contact with Jeep.

I had an error riddled race. Finding completely new parts of the grass banking to explore. Qualified 5th behind Cookie in his Ferrari and just in front of Greg in a BRM. Got away well at the start and when one of the cars Cookie?? spun at Esso Bend I was up to 4th. Then Fulvio? went wide at Knicker-Brook and I briefly thought of going for the pass but decided to brake rather than take the chance so early in the race. All was going well for a few laps and I seemed to be holding my own although losing ground on those in front. Then disaster strikes and I run wide at Knicker-Brook. I tried to find a gap to rejoin but have to be honest and say I messed up big time, wrong line, wrong gear, loads of wheel spin slid wide and I squeezed someone at the top of Clay Hill. Really sorry, Pelle almost ran into the back of me as well as I tried to find a gear I liked. Pelle was past shortly afterwards. After that the only passes were made as others made mistakes or retired. I passed Greg having an off track moment and he retired shortly afterwards. Gave chase on Doni but after several mistakes I had fallen well behind and was watching my mirrors for Tris who was leading the field by quite some margin. Had a misunderstanding with Billy. Sorry Billy I thought you were going to stay wide to let me through. I should have waited until the next straight. Finally right at the end I passed Pelle's stricken Honda to finish 1 place up on my starting position. Is there a Raplay available? I forgot to save mine and I've checked in the usual place ( http://ftp://ftp.ukgpl9.co.uk:32122/Season33/67F1/) but can only find the 1st 2 rounds. Thanks all A blast as always. TTFN John.

Congrats Tristan, Dean, and especially Doni!
I've got two words for this one. That sucked!
I never should have tried Dean's setup in a car I'm so lousy driving. I tried two stints with it. It did some things better than my setup but I couldn't do much with it. It got me a 1:35.03. Just before qualifying a did a 1:34.55 with my setup and felt I should easily gain a few more tenths in qualifying.
I intended to play the tortoise this time. Things were going decent until Pelle caught me. Trying to get out of the way so he wouldn't run over me, resulted in a spin. From then, I was struggling to get in a rhythm. A little pressure from Doni and I spun again. After that I was looking forward to seeing if I could gain any on Doni and John. Unfortunately, I was discoed soon after my second spin. That angered me. I expected I could finish since my car was undamaged and I thought I might eventually learn how to do a decent lap with the heavy beast.
Thanks guys. Take care.

Francesco, Since begin of season 33, 10 incidents have been reported (for all series 55, 65, 66, 67 ) ...and you are involved in 8 of them How could you explain that ? I don't say you are always responsible (for example : in Adelaide67, I made a big mistake) But I can't understand why your name appears in 80% ! Thanks to you, moderation will be a full time job (I am joking) In the real life, some insurance companies for cars are refusing to reassure people who have 3 or more incidents in a year EVEN if they are NOT responsible of these 3 incidents...

But I can't understand why your name appears in 80% ! What you allude?Have you seen the replay? Fran, When incidents are reported they are listed in a database on the web site. The database is only visible to the moderating team. The moderating team use the reports in the database to identify the point in the replay the incident occurred (the moderators do not examine every minute of every replay looking for incidents, it would take far too long). It is very easy for the moderating team to identify the drivers involved in the incidents from the database entries alone. However we cannot say who if anyone is at fault until the incidents have been formally checked by reviewing the replay. So the moderators can say you feature in 80% of the incidents. However, until the incidents have been moderated we cannot say any of the incidents were your fault. However regardless of blame you must recognise that you must be doing something the rest of the drivers are not. You do not appear to appreciate that you have a duty of care to your fellow drivers. You appear to drive as if you are the only car on the track. Please have another look at the guidance on using mirrors and on side-by-side contact. These examples show that you must drive with care and an understanding of who is around you, even if you cannot see them. The incidents will be moderated in due course so I do not want to discuss any of them here. However, please bear in mind anyone who amasses a large number of yellow cards is liable for a race ban. Please see the paragraph on Persistent Bad Driving at the bottom of this page.
