Season 31 Historic Trophy – Round 9 - Hockenheim
The Hockenheimring was originally built in 1932 using roads in the forest as an alternative to the Wildpark-Circuit in Karlsruhe. The track was used for motorcycle racing and was expanded to be used as test track for Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union in 1936. In 1938 it was renamed the Kurpfalzring and that name was used until 1947. In 1965, when the new Autobahn A 6 separated the village from the main part of the track, an updated version of Hockenheim circuit was built, which incorporated a new "Motodrom" stadium section. Two fast chicanes were added after Jim Clark was killed on 7 April 1968 in a Formula 2 racing accident. A small memorial was placed at the site of his accident near the first chicane. In order to improve safety even further, the track was lined with crash barriers in 1970. But the track was still dangerous and claimed the life of Patrick Depailler in 1980. So in 1982, the first chicane was made slower and a third chicane was added at the Ostkurve (east curve). In the early 2000s, Formula 1 officials demanded the 6.823 km (4.240 mi) track be shortened and threatened to discontinue racing there. So the state government of Baden-Württemberg secured the financing for a redesign by Hermann Tilke ready for the 2002 German Grand Prix. The new "Tilke Track" was not universally popular and many drivers preferred the long circuit. Sadly the old circuit was torn up and replanted with trees thereby preventing any chance of reinstating the long circuit for Formula 1 or indeed using it for historic car races.
Tonight we will be using the 1967 version of the long track that doesn't have the three chicanes.
This race is for cars with 2 Litre engines.

I can't install this track after I have downloaded the zip file from SRMZ links...
When I unzip the file and then start TrackInstall.exe, I see a new directory Sierra/GPL/tracks/Hockenhm
but this directory contains no .dat file
There are only these 8 files :
maxrace.lp minrace.lp pass1.lp pass2.lp pit.lp race.lp record.ini track.ini
I tried 3 times but it doesn't work !
Any help will be appreciated !

I had some trouble, Dave. Track link to SRMZ gives hockenheim.zip that seems to work, but doesn't appear after selecting it in GEM. At the bottom of that thread in SRMZ, after a few had similar trouble, hagapito40 says try the hocken67_512_v1.0.zip then add the Thomas Laechele update. That worked for me. His link for _512_ asks me to sign in when I already am, so I downloaded that zip from Axel's first reply.
It looks like 2 minutes is a target lap time, but that seems very far away for me.
