Special Rules for this race. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

All PRO drivers are allowed a single SHIFT/R which must be followed by a STOP and GO in the pit lane
All AM drivers have unlimited SHIFT/R and no requirement for any Stop 'n Go

THIS RACE WILL NOT BE MONITORED FOR INCIDENTS, EXCEPT FOR STOP and GO's. Not that we would expect anyone to cheat !! Roll Eyes

Scoring will be from 18 down to 1 for all finishers, so making it to the flag is important for ALL team members.

Unlimited number of Shift-Rs are allowed with no need to make Stop & Go.

This is an unmoderated fun race but drivers are expected to observe UKGPL driving standards.

Please, excepting emergencies, no chat until Session Completed in qualification. No chat in the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

I seem to have missed the first round, can I join one of the teams (don't mind which)?

Hi Baab. I have a cunning plan to fit you in whatever happens. :shifty:

We currently have 3 teams of 5 drivers listed, which gives a level playing field. However, there is always a chance that someone will not show up this evening, in which case you can be the "supersub". If we get all 15 drivers on the server, then in the true spirit of Christmas I will invoke the "Grinch" option.

The Grinch can drive ANY 2 litre car. i.e. NO car with an engine capacity of more than 2000cc. So this excludes all 2.3ltr, 2.4ltr and 2.7ltr engines.

If we have 1 extra driver he forms the Grinch faction which will score double points and get a bonus of 15 points if he finishes.
If we have 2 extra drivers they both score double points plus 10 point bonus if they both finish
If we have 3 extra drivers the first 2 Grinch cars across the line score double points and the 3rd normal points.

The Grinch could still spoil Christmas  ;)

Update on the 1st race at SnowGlen.

The Santas have been deducted 13 points. Tristan took 2 resets ( only one was allowed for PRO level drivers ) and he failed to make a Stop n Go for either.  :nono:

So going in to tonight's race the current points standings are :-

Santas -      29
Elves   -      64
Snowmen - 57
Grinch     -  0

Because points are awarded right down to last place, every finisher scores and just a few points can make the difference. So fighting for the minor places should be intense  :devil: Plus, watch out for the Grinch !!

I hate to disappoint my fellow snowmen, but I'm unavailable tonight. PC is getting a new processor installed at a workshop.

Any chance I could become a deputy/reserve snowman this evening?

Pete please take my Santa coat, I can't race tonight  :helpsmilie:

OK, as I suspected there are a few casualties/no shows.

So Baab joins the SNOWMEN   
and
Pete Joins the SANTAS

There is still a vacancy for The Grinch  ;D

Am I Am or Pro for this?

If there is room left, I would like to join the fun.

I think that you are a PRO for this race Pete.

Tom, unless another vacancy opens up, then you will be The Grinch ( see above )

Axel... you came 8th  8)

From hero to zero over the two races for me lol.

I will work out the points ( and any penalties ) tomorrow.


Thanks to all who took part, I hope it was fun  ;D

Hmm...sorry for the crashes guys, Tris into the 1st hairpin then Dave and someone else (maybe Billy) who was a team mate  :oops:  No excuses, on two of these occasions I was in trouble on the brakes, the other I misjudged the person in-front's pace through the final corner.

Apart from that I had a couple of other offs, a shift R & stop n go then was in no man's land for the rest!!  Cheers for the racin anyways.

Bob

If we did touch Baab I don't remember. I had enough incidents of my own anyway.

I also wasn't paying attention to who my team mates were. Sorry for my comment in chat Andreas - I could see you were in the Ferrari but totally forgot you were driving for the Snowmen. Well done on scoring team points! Good drives by Phil & David R. Be interesting to see the final results. Baab - your sub appearance might count!

Hi :) I download the track here and it's nice track with the snow folling and the fog ....nice one !
...after have been hit at " nouveau monde " by Bob (thx Bob ! ) I restart nearly last and have to fight hard to recover ...sorry Doni , I break as I can but not enought !apologies man !...fortunatly there was a good end for me...as the guys in front fight together and loose time doing some mistakes...then I can take the lead at 2 laps from the end .
 Please guys , for the next race , if it's possible to don't hit me on the first lap it will be cool ...;)

Clive , I slowed to let you through on the pits straight  ( didn't see the point in racing the team leader when you were obviously quicker ) too bad went wrong !

I got taken out 3 times in total by "Pro" drivers who dont seem to care about others and think they own the track  :-\

Ha! Bernie "the Boss" Verstrappon Rules OK!

My apologies Bernie. I was not expecting you to lift as your car was obviously much quicker in a straight line ( you had proved that on previous laps!!) and although I was probably too close and beginning to ease to the right, I was just waiting for you to accelerate away and open the gap.  Maybe we should arrange some semaphore messaging system for future races??  :-\. You were very quick and I was enjoying  the racing with you and I felt very guilty and foolish after the contact. :oops:
I can only say that during last night's race I had gearbox dyslexia. I lost count of the number of times I plain forgot what gear I was in and which gear I wanted next !!! I was hitting 2nd instead of 6th and it was almost a deliberate selection, as if I actually wanted 2nd???  It must be old age or total lack of concentration. Sorry to anyone who came across a Lotus with smoking tyres spinning along the tarmac half way down a straight. Eventually the engine protested that it had suffered enough abuse and went on a go slow for the last laps. I struggled to the finish just to collect a couple of points for the team.

I am a big fan of Max but I would love to have seen him racing in the 70's alongside Senna Schumakker etc  .

I just finished a bio of Jochen Rindt who I watched racing through his Brabham F2 days and into F1 with the Cooper team , believe me he was a country mile better than any of todays lot !

I was at Monaco when he won on the last corner of the last lap , Silverstone when he went head to head with Stewart swapping places 3-4 times per lap and almost every one a new lap record .

Rindt replaced Clark in my hero's book who I also saw race at Oulton Park in F1 F2 Sports racing and saloons .

Them was the days  ;)

I have a good collection of f1 books, including a first edition of his bio. If he put his belt on properly, he may have been fine.

Schumacher was only 10 years old in 1979 (and Senna was 19) so you mean in the 80's for Senna and the 90's for Schumy (and after 2000, too).
Jochen Rindt also won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1965 with Masten Gregory (it was the last win for Ferrari). 

POINTS TOTALS OF THE 2 RACES

Santas -      29 + 49 = 78
Elves   -      64 + 39 =97
Snowmen - 57 + 64 =121


Grinch     -  31

So the newcomer team of Snowmen take the win  ;D

Another great book by David Tremayne  The Lost Generation

https://professionalmoron.com/2018/08/11/the-lost-generation-f1-by-david-tremayne/ (https://professionalmoron.com/2018/08/11/the-lost-generation-f1-by-david-tremayne/)

He really gets into all the details

So we Elves don't have the chance to race the faster Ferraris?? That smells fishy to me  :wetfish: 

Not only that but the Snowmen were running in camouflage mode  ::)

 Season 40 starts on Sun 9th Jan, so we have only Friday 7th to hold a 3rd round?

Of course if enough people were interested, we might be able to find a server........................................... ::)  :whistling: :whistling:

Yeah, at first I thought you thought I was in the big Ferrari. Well, never mind.
All in all, we got a good result.
