Title: Re: UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1966 F1 - Interlagos - May 19 Post by: EvilClive on May 19, 2020, 11:01:26 AM +0100 After my first tentative ( and deliberately aborted ) outing at Aintree after my operation, I am intending to start this race. Still not 100%, but feeling better everyday, bruising has reduced considerably and so has the discomfort.
If I feel things are getting too much, I will simply quit the race, but I am going to do a few laps today and make a judgement call about tonight, No heroics, just a gentle test. Hope to see you on track, but maybe not quite up to full speed yet ::) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1966 F1 - Interlagos - May 19 Post by: Rainier on May 19, 2020, 09:55:34 PM +0100 Freeze during quali and freeze on the 7th lap.
I had just overtaken Andreas and was chasing Phil. Race was nice until that. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1966 F1 - Interlagos - May 19 Post by: uli on May 19, 2020, 10:11:46 PM +0100 That's good news Clive.
Practice was great but in the middle of the race, towards the end of the straight, I had a freeze right behind Tristan. Fine racing until that. THX to you Tristan for close fighting :) Sad that we couldn't do that to the chequered ...

Title: Re: UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1966 F1 - Interlagos - May 19 Post by: Phil Thornton on May 19, 2020, 10:39:42 PM +0100 Freeze during quali and freeze on the 7th lap. Unlucky David, I had a freeze in qually too. It locked up the entire PC. Even Task Manager wasn't working. I had to do a hard reboot. I was quite worried in the race, I was expecting a screen freeze at any moment.Quote I had just overtaken Andreas and was chasing Phil. I was watching Pribluda carefully, I saw you overtake Andreas and I was preparing for a repeat of the 69xF1 race!Race was nice until that. I got a great start and I tried to hang onto Doni. I could just about keep up with the help of the draft but once I made a mistake and did a 360 at the end of the long straight, the tow was lost and Doni was gone.

If you can do those times consistently you'll be challenging for the Junior podium ;)best ever before was 3:05 Plus. :P Title: Re: UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1966 F1 - Interlagos - May 19 Post by: francesco on May 19, 2020, 10:44:02 PM +0100 Quote Let's hope this is the first of many Fran But the season is finished.You have burned me at the first curve :2guns:and is not the first time :)anyway you are stronger than me this yearTitle: Re: UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1966 F1 - Interlagos - May 19 Post by: francesco on May 19, 2020, 10:46:32 PM +0100 Quote good news Francesco.

Quite happy with that for a first race back. I took the baby Brabham simply because it was easy to drive, and not too heavy to wrestle with lol. But I confess that it was getting a struggle with around 5 laps to go and I decided to quit before I did anything I would regret ;). Still a good training run and on a less demanding track I might have been OK. Title: Re: UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1966 F1 - Interlagos - May 19 Post by: Phil Thornton on May 19, 2020, 10:55:16 PM +0100 I've loaded the chassis the drivers used into the token calculator spreadsheet. For the next race the available tokens will be as declared in the table below (the table will also appear in the next race announcement). The calculated values are automated but selecting the cars is a manual process so please check your tokens to make sure I haven't made a silly error. There was no token overspend for this round so no one is disqualified.
