Season 19 Spec Race Challenge - Round 8 - Spa Round 8 of the Spec Challenge promises to be a real speed fest as we move up to the original 1967 formula cars at an old favourite – Spa Francorchamps. To truly experience GPL you have to try the runs down into Masta & Stavelot at 190mph plus on skinny tyres and not a shred of down force. Maybe some UKGPL records will be on the line?
In the championship its still Hristo in the Lights & Steve Bird in the Heavies leading the charge, although last time out at Imola we did have some new race winners.
We will run two races on the same track. Two chassis are available, you must use one in each race. Use the same car twice earns you a disqualification in the second race.
Your choice of chariot for this occasion is the 1967 Mod ~ Lotus & Eagle.
The Spec Series is a full championship with standard points scoring. In addition the moderator will also tally up every drivers fastest race lap & compare the chassis head to head. For your time to count in the “Spec Challenge” you must complete more than 50% distance in both races. Resets are allowed so don’t retire because of a bad start.
Also the Spec Series in the only GPL championship to be decided exclusively by driver skill, no handicapping applies.
