Season 25 Friday Trophy - Rounds 9 & 10 - NivellesWe are still in Belgium but this time at a circuit that has been used very occasionally by UKGPL, but this one offers a little more in the way of corners and height changes. A word of caution about T1...it is very easy to get over excited and launch yourself over the crest where you will quickly discover that your tyres are not transferring any braking effect against the air!!! The faster cars like the Can Ams might be at risk here lol!!
But the first 2 races for Friday 9th are as always, the F2's and the 69x's which should both be well suited to this track.
PLEASE READ THIS. IT EXPLAINS THE FORMAT THAT THIS 40 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.
This week will be F2's and 69X
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)
We step up from the F2's and the 69x's to the GT's and Can Ams. Around this track outright power and handling tend to balance out, so it will be an interesting pair of races for everyone I hope.
The first race this week will be F2
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 with another 20minute qually and a 25 minute race.
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 48, 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.

Reserve drivers can also join as soon as the server becomes available but must leave the server with 10 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 5 mins of qualifying left.
