Title: UKGPL Season 40 FUN - 69x - Monza10k - Jul 31 Post by: Cookie on July 29, 2022, 11:36:30 AM +0100 Season 40 – 1969xtra F1 – Funrace - Monza10k
This weeks Sunday Special will be an outing in the 69x F1 Cars atthe “Cathedral of Speed” in Italy. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a race track located near the city of Monza, north of Milan. Built in the Royal Villa of Monza park in a woodland setting, the circuit has gone through numerous changes over the years. Perhaps the most striking feature in the park is the steep banked (sopraelevata) curves on the now defunct 10Km variant, first used in 1955. The original circuit (used between 1922 and 1933) also had an oval section but the banked curves were not as wide or as steep as the later 1955 variant. The banked circuit was used on four occasions for Formula 1 races; in 1955, 1956, 1960 and finally in 1961 when it was decided that Formula 1 cars were just too fast to be safe on the oval track. The banked oval section was last used in any capacity in 1969. From 1962 onwards, the Formula 1 Grand Prix was held on the "road circuit" which by the early 1970s was also deemed to be too fast for Formula 1 cars. HANDICAP – None ENJOY Unlimited number of Shift-Rs are allowed with no need to make Stop & Go. As this is a Fun Race, so no restrictions on chat.

The little BT24 is a bullet in a straight line and I saw 201mph in the tow at one point. Breathtaking! Axel recovered from some resets to storm back and claim the win. Bravo!
