Season 40 – 1955 Grand Prix – Round 3 – Privateers - Dundrod

This race announcement is for the PRIVATEERS.

The third race in the 1955 Grand Prix series finds us at Dundrod in Northern Ireland. The Dundrod Circuit was first used in 1950 for the RAC Tourist Trophy Sports Car race and for the Formula One (non-championship) Ulster Trophy. The Sports Cars raced again in 1951 through to 1955 and the Formula 1 cars from 1951 through to 1953. The circuit comprised public roads closed for racing including a section of the B38 Hannahstown Road between Glenavy and Hannahstown, a section of the B101 Leathemstown Road from Leathemstown Corner to Dundrod and a section of the B153 Quarterland/Tornagrough Road from Cochranstown to the road junction of the B38 Upper Springsfield Road/Hannahstown Road at the Lindsay Hairpin. The last car race held on the Dundrod Circuit was the 1955 RAC Tourist Trophy race in which sadly there were 3 fatalities. The narrow, high-speed nature of the circuit, meant it was just too dangerous and since then it has only been used for motorcycle racing.

For this race we will use the 1950 layout which includes the Leathemstown Bridge section.

Hi Guys, i wont be racing this one. dont really like the place and just will get in the way. no fun if you feel as if your an accident looking for somewhere to happen LOL !!

so have a blast Boys !

Sad to here Paul but great for me . it means I finish last instead of next to last  ;D

Dont know why you worry , sometimes its good to be a mobile chicane , just think of the power you hold in your hands ( & feet ) when the leaders want to pass  :D

There are times when I wonder if Bernie has been trained as the Soggies secret weapon??  :shifty:

Don't tell anyone  , but my real name is "Alonso"   :euro:

One question.Are 2 races that my IGOR show nothing.Only me or also others?

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.

Thank you Clive,I had really missed this news.

Why do I have a DQ ?

Wondering if it was because I spent an age trying to find my way back out of the spud field I landed in after falling asleep at the wheel and missing my braking point at the bottom of the big hill  ???

BUMP !
