Season 25 Friday Trophy - Rounds 3 & 4 - KyalamiAgain we race South Africa, Kyalami. Classic track, long time home of formula 1 in the Southern hemisphere.
The original, sweeping circuit was in use from 1961 until political sanctions eliminated the Grand Prix after the 1985 race. A very quick circuit, it yielded some memorable races. Gilles Villeneuve outfoxed team mate and home driver Jody Scheckter in a wet/dry race in 1979, and Alain Prost raced from the back to win in 1982. By the time the circuit held its last Grand Prix in its original incarnation cars were lapping the track in 1m 02s – 20 seconds faster than in 1967, a lap time in the 1m 02s might not quite be obtainable.
PLEASE READ THIS. IT EXPLAINS THE FORMAT THAT THIS 20 RACE SERIES WILL USE.Please refer to the list of tracks on the "Announcements" page for the Friday Trophy.
This is really designed to be a fun series with 4 different car mods running 2 sprint length races each Friday.
The first week will be F2's and 69x cars and the second week will be GT's and Can Ams.
In each category there is a choice of 4 cars for drivers from the Heavy brigade, but the Lights will be limited to a choice of 2 cars. ( see the list below)
The first race at each circuit on the schedule will always be F2 so that makes it easier to learn the track
and the first qually session will start at approx 20:45 for 20mins. Race starts at approx 21:05The second race will be for 69x cars with another 20minute qually and a 25 minute race.
The following Friday we will do the same again but with GT's and Can Ams on the same track.
There is a single S/R allowed and you DO NOT need to perform a Stop and Go. It would be nice if those who cause an accident allow the innocent victims to regain their position when you rejoin the racing.
These cars are for the first half of the season including the races at MOON. There will be different sets of cars for the second half of the season.
So, the last 2 cars are for the Lights and the Heavies can chose any car from the list of 4 if they wish. Please be honest and choose a car that suits your ability. The aim is to have some very close racing.
Cars for F2 Brab BT23 and Lotus, Cooper and Ferrari
Cars for 69X Lotus 49b and Matra MS80 Mclaren M9A and BRM P126/139
Cars for GT Chap 2F Porsche 910 Mirage M1 and Ford Mk2B
Cars for Can Am Mclaren M8D and Lola 260 Porsche 917/10 and Ferrari 712M
If it proves that the handicap for the lights is too harsh in any of the categories, I might consider changing the cars, but let us wait and see how things work out. I suspect that the Lights will still be quick.
