Season 38 – 1955 Grand Prix – Round 5 – Privateers - Tripoli
This race announcement is for the PRIVATEERS.
The fifth race in the 1955 Grand Prix series finds us in Libya. We visit the very fast circuit at Mellaha Lake, Tripoli. The track was a 13.140 kilometre (8.165 mi) long affair situated in a salt basin between Tripoli, Suq al Jum'ah and Tajura and around the Mellaha Air Base. The track's most distinctive landmark was a brilliant white concrete tower situated across from a large front stretch grandstand that could hold up to ten thousand people. Mellaha Lake was equipped with starting lights, an innovation, and the additional amenities rivalled the best that continental European circuits had to offer. Back in the late thirties this was the fastest track of the world.

Good detective work Bernie - nice closeups of the 1935 GP machinery! Some titanic race stories as well. Did everyone know we have only the short version of the Targa Florio track? Short, but superb at the price!

Fast and insidious track, seems to be easy to drive but if you make a mistake on the exit of a corner you may loose a lot of speed on the next straight. Did you try Tripoli with 1937 mod on Rfactor? Pure madness!

Please can everyone check they can connect. I can connect OK and I've checked everything I can on the server and it looks fine but someone cannot connect.
Is anyone else having problems?

OK I'll remove the latency limit. It looks like the internet is slow today? We will have to be extra careful regarding warp tonight.
