Season 30 Historics Trophy – Round 3 – Reims PLEASE READ THIS ANNOUCEMENT by Billy
Unfortunately we have not had a divisional moderator for this series. Thanks to David Rainier for posting Race 1. I will be taking over duties temporarily & there will be a small variation in the Handicap system to get a wider range of cars on the grid to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1966 championship. Races will be 3 Litre OR 2 Litre events. BUT for 3L events drivers can take any car = 3L or 2L. For 2Lraces Pro / Works drivers can take any 2L car and the Amateur / Privateers drivers can take any car – including any 3Lcar. Fairly simple. Please check the choice for each race. 3 Litre cars will be used on the faster circuits. Ideally this system would have been in place for the whole season, but I trust you will understand matters. (Monaco would have been a 2L race).
The 3rd round of the season will be at Reims in France. The circuit is basically several long straights with a couple of hairpins and a few cornfields. Catching a tow is what this track is about. It normally produces close racing. Reims-Gueux was first established in 1926 on the public roads between the small French villages of Thillois and Gueux. The circuit had two very long straights between the towns, and teams strove to maximize straight-line speed of their cars; many slipstream battles ensued. Race organizers actually felled trees and demolished old houses in order to make the circuit even quicker. International racing came with the first official Formula One event occurring in 1950, the inaugural year of the Formula One world championship. The circuit layout was shortened and changed in 1952 to bypass the town
For this season season we are following the original 1966 calendar, so Round 3 is Reims.
Any driver who completes the season will have a GPL rank time for 66s.

If there is enough space on the grid, the reserve drivers will be able to rejoin when there are 30 mins of qualifying left. .
