Season 25 Friday Trophy - Rounds 21 & 22 - PanchineWelcome to the next round for the Friday Trophy this time at Panchine. A very convincing fantasy track imagined to be in North Italy. Fast, sweeping circuit with traps for the unwary. There are a couple of jumps, a tricky turn or two and very sticky hedges, so be careful. It is a relatively long circuit so space should open up, but slipstreaming might be crucial whether you are in front or behind. This should be a track where the handicap for the Lights gives the Heavies a real chance to get amongst the podium slots with their faster cars. Keeping mistakes to a minimum and using the extra pace on the long straights might cause some problems for the Lights. This round is for the F2s and 69X. Heavies Lights Cars for F2 Brab BT23 and Lotus 48, Cooper and Ferrari Cars for 69X Lotus 49b and Matra MS80 Mclaren M9A and BRM P126/139 "Please ensure you are aware of the new in-series penalties for this season. Details are here. Drivers incurring a penalty will receive a PM informing them of this."Race list | iGOR | Server | TBA | IP address | TBA | Date | 11-10-2013 | Race time | Race 1 starts at 21:05 UK time | Qualifying time | minimum 15 minutes, starting no later than 20:45 UK time | Track | Panchine | Mod | F2 and 69x | Damage model | INT (Each driver is allowed a single Shift-R with no stop and go required) | Race length | 10 laps (F2) and 13 laps (69x) | Red Zone | from the START line to the exit of the end of main straight | Replay | Available here |

Could probably be necessary to delay the start of the races of half an hour! I don't think a race with only 5 participants might mean something ! It's the only chance some of us get! I propose to start Race 1 at 21:30 UK time

I have no problem with a later start, if that is what the majority would like. It does of course mean that the 2nd race will finish later?
Maybe all those who race in the Friday can post their preference here and we can see what will be the most popular.??

This does not work for me as I find even 9.00pm a problem sometimes with having to get up for work early, including most Saturdays.
This has been an incredibly fun series thus far, so I would hope to at least make Race 1, if people do want to race later.
I hope we stick with the early starts or even earlier!!! But accept we should go with the majority decision.

I suggest that until we get enough members expressing a definite preference about starting times we should keep things as they are and start at the time posted on the race announcement.
If we change the time for this Friday (only 48 hrs away) without a real consensus view and an official announcement, we will have confusion and chaos.
So the Friday Trophy Race for Friday 11th Oct will start at the normal time
If you would prefer that future Friday Trophy Races to start earlier OR later please post on this thread and if there is a definite majority who would like to see a change we will implement it.

If possible I would like to start the race five minutes before everyone else as this will make a significant improvement to my results. If that doesn't really work then I'm quite happy with the existing start (08.45 Quallification Race 1) - any earlier does start to cause problems at home.

I often keep my server open for training during the week but...it doesn't seem someone have any interest to test his performances publicly.

I might need some practice this evening..............I suspect that this track will make it very hard work for the Lights!!!
Anyone got a benchmark time for the F2's and 69x's???
I am not even looking at the GT's and Can Ams for next week yet, the speed difference could be a real headache!! lol

Unimpressed with race 1, let me tell ya. SORRY Dean! Of course my fault, but with a little more space left and working together we would have caught the front runners easy..

Race 1 - really pleased with how the Brabham was working - almost had pole until Ronnie nicked it at the end. My non-familiarity with the sharp end of the grid really showed on lap 2 when there looked like a chance to draft Cookie & Ronnie and take the lead with a masterstroke move. Only problem was I hadn't anticipated Ronnie's turn in & it ended in disaster. Big sorry to Ronnie & whoever got tangled up in the aftermath. Rest assured a lesson has been learned. Appears my error allowed team mate Dave C to nip through & hold out for a win. Not intended but I reckon you owe me a pint Dave. 69X I am less adept with. Started almost last, blew an engine & finished last. Well done to Dave Rainier - two wins out of two for Black Night. Should be back for the next Open wheeler race - great series, shame we don't get a few more starters.

Lets get the bad out of the way first. Sorry Dave R for the punt up the back in Race 1.
Despite this and a few other entertaining bumps and scrapes along the way these were two really enjoyable races. I almost feel sorry for anyone not able to participate on Fridays. For me they are missing the best series this season by a country mile. It caters for all, from the championship hungry challengers and those just after a quick fix of close racing. I'm getting like a scratched record but thanks again to the organisers.
Grats to the podiums in both races.
