Season 39 – 1967 F1 (Privateers) – Round 3 – Lime Rock

For Round 3 of the 67F1 Privateers championship we will race on the Lime Rock Mountain track which was a planned but never built extension to the original Lime Rock track. The extension was planned in 1957 and while trees were chopped down in preparation, the actual paved track was never built. A pity, because it would've been an excellent track, on the level of the full Watkins Glen. The Mountain circuit incorporates many of the original features but the longer lap has a few more challenging corners, longer straights and provides an opportunity for the faster cars to unleash their power.

Unfortunately, a last-moment conflict has reared its ugly head for tomorrow, preventing me from joining the race. I hope to be able to finish my first race of the season at Zolder. Sigh.

I'm not yet registered for this series. Any chance I could join you on the grid for this race? I hope to see you all later.

I've just processed your registration Pete, you are in. At the rate you are improving you are borderline Works standard but there are some good drivers in this series so it will be a challenge for you.

Good morning, I am not able to log into the uk server online.

Thanks, Phil. Of all the mods, I still find the 67s the trickiest to keep on the tarmac. Keeping up with Leo is going to he difficult.  :scooter:

I haven't set a password on UKGPL04_60fps so you should be able to join the Works server. The IP address is on the Works race announcement (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=27112#event15541) if you can't join via iGOR.

Leo has moved to the Works. He was too fast for the Privateers.

HELP !

I need the PW for privs , it says I'm not registered !

Hang on Bernie, I'll sort it now.

Thanks Phil

Should be sorted now mate.

A big rain here, I had several power outages, I couldn't participate, I'm very disappointed, besides the mai messed up all my gpl, I had to install everything from scratch.

And punctually on lap 16 she arrived ,the engine failure.What is strange is that only with the 67 happen.Until now F2 and 55 are ok.

Sorry to hear that Ricardo, hopefully everything will have dried up for next week.

Screen freeze here just as I was about to take last place  :'(

Have you installed the no-freeze patch? Get it here (http://srmz.net/index.php?s=1d55bf5d3d0f891eb7da6c3f35d87a26&showtopic=14247).

Thanks for letting me join the party for round 3. I was having a lot of fun from P5 on the grid chasing down Phillipe. By lap 10 my Honda's rear right tyre was over-heating so I had to ease off for a couple of laps to let things cool down. I could see Phillipe in the distance but I not able to close the gap. I made a silly mistake after a few more laps and half-span at the bottom of the long steep hill rejoining the "real" track. I thought that Billy would catch up but I was able to keep position. A lonely drive to the end and bad luck to Maddog on the penultimate lap. You suddenly disappeared from Pribluda handing me the final podium slot.

I was very happy to get the 67 Honda around all 28 laps. It's been a while since I've driven them and I usually fall off the road several times. Driving the wingless 69X Lotus 49 in the other championship has helped me re-learn how to handle these beasts.

Thanks guys. It was a lot of fun. See you next time.

There were a number of discos in this race. It would be helpful for the Mod team if drivers can report discos & whether they had istalled the 'No Freeze' patch.
I really enjoyed this track it has a great flow.
Most of it in my own company after David Rainer disappeared in the early laps. Dave Curtis appeared on my gear box late in the race after running wide on the very first lap. He was marginally faster although I suspect I could have held onto 4th place if I hadn't put a wheel on the grass exiting the last turn. Probably my only mistake of the evening.

Interestingly, not a great deal of difference in lap times between the top of the Privateers & the lower half of the Works grids.

No disco for me.
I just made a big mistake trying to overtake Billy. I went out of the track and lost a wheel.
I am very disappointed and should have been more patient.

Grats to the podium and especially for Philippe, the only survivor of l'équipe BGB.

First race on a Fantasy track at Ukgpl for many years.  My lucky win was not pure fantasy, but it did require some help along the way. :angel:  

Sat third, and ran second at the start, pushing hard to stay with Eric.  My car, then covered in fantasy oil, as his motor expired at the end of lap 1.  The disco taking South America by storm, had already grabbed unfortunate da Silva , so I settled into an easy run to the finish.

A strange echo caught my ear, with mirrors suggesting I was not alone.  I'd attracted a hunting Dulima.  Attempt's to suffocate with blue tiresmoke failed, so I skillfully flailed, while he watched from nearby for over half the race. >:( :D

I found a good picnic spot, but decided not to stop, when the twin Braby. rudely continued without me!  Sat back for a tranquil ride to the podium, when a hungry Frenchman came pounding from behind.  My simmering rubber soon gave way to his full coarse expertise .  It became apparent his hurry to, 'Fly the Coop.' was to find that perfect picnic spot I'd chased after.  But, needing only 2 laps to grab some fantasy Champagne, I hurried onward.

Some years since the last victory here at Ukgpl.  A well earned win grabbed from Dulima, by the dreaded disco fever, with only 3 laps to run!  Some great racing in close company from both he, and Philippe.  It's fun to live the fantasy! :clap:

It was a very good race, I like this track, even though it's a fantasy

I really wanted my great friend and track rival Ricardo Silva to be there

But many power outages reaped our runs

Sad that Eric's engine burst on the first lap, he would be a hard driver to beat

Hunt and I had a good match.

Congratulations Hunt on winning

Girard and Pepe by the podium

let's go to the next

Well done Malone , enjoyed the Baloni  ;D

I have it installed but with all the excitement I somehow forgot to tick the box  ::)
