Season 36 - Handicap Race – MonzaThe moderating team have been hard at work trying to dream up new events to keep you all occupied during the lock-down, and so here is another one!
We are going to have a handicap race based of each driver’s fastest race lap as a benchmark. If you are interested in participating, all you have to do is post your fastest UKGPL race lap at Monza here along with the car you used. If you haven’t raced with UKGPL in the 67F1s at Monza, don’t worry, just post your PB and we can use that as your benchmark. You will be able to pick any car you want for the race, you do not have to use the same car you used to set your benchmark. At the end of the race the handicap time you have been allocated will be added to your race time. The driver with the shortest net race time will be declared the winner.
Sounds complicated? Well it is a bit of a challenge for the organisers, but it couldn’t be easier for the drivers. You just post your benchmark fastest lap and then turn up and race. The organisers will do the rest.
For this concept to work we will need some representative lap times from a circuit we all know well and there is non better than the Cathedral of Speed.
The explain how the handicaps will work consider Phil Thornton and Billy Nobrakes. In the Season 32 privateers race at Monza, Phil’s fastest lap in the Eagle was 1m29.425s and Billy’s in the Brabham was 1m31.338s. If Billy takes the slowest car (the Cooper) in the handicap race, the time to add on to add on to his finishing time will be zero. If Phil takes the Honda in the handicap race his handicap will be 57s. So Phil would have to beat Billy by more than 57s to win the race. However if Phil took the Cooper instead, his handicap would only be 23s. In this case Phil would only have to beat Billy by more than 23s to win the race. Now if we consider a driver from the Season 32 Works race, say Andreas who finished second. He took the Lotus and posted a fastest lap of 1m28.818s. If he took the Lotus again in the handicap race, the time to add on to his finishing time would be 2 minutes whereas if he took the Cooper it would only be 40s.
This is a Fun Race so unlimited free Shift-Rs are allowed. There is no need to carry out a Stop and Go in the pit lane if you make a Shift-R.
