Season 31 Historic Trophy – Round 4 Re-Run - Spa`67
Welcome to the re-run of the fourth round of the Historic Trophy at Spa67, the classic track with new layout for GPL. This is the long awaited update to the Papy original. Perhaps THE classic Grand Prix circuit, the original triangular shaped course was designed in 1920 by Jules de Their and Henri Langlois Van Ophem. It used public roads between the towns of Spa, Malmedy and Stavelot. The course was extremely fast and was made even faster in 1939 with the introduction of the famous Eau Rouge section. The circuit was completely revised and shortened for the 1981 Belgian Grand Prix but it is the classic 60's 8.761 mile version of the track that we will use for this race.
This version of the circuit was used between 1946 and 1970 and corners like Eau Rouge, Burnenville and particularly Masta presented the drivers with exceptional challenges. Due to the combination of high speed, length and lack of any possible run off, the circuit was very dangerous and claimed the lives of many drivers.
This race is for cars with 3 Litre engines.

Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10. Why the hell do I keep crashing then?!

Thanks Jethro. Hopefully the server will be fine.
Server is up if anyone wants to practice. It would be helpful if a few people had a go and stayed on for a race so we can check the start is normal. What happened last time was bizarre!

Dang. The one time it worked out that I could have a good scrap with Tris, I'm half down with a summertime cold, and really not at my best (as he saw) . So, sorry to him for my lap 2 missteps, and awesome job avoiding taking us both out. After his lap 3 minor excursion, I tried to build a gap, but he caught me quickly. From then on, it was follow him to the flag (hope I made it obvious that I was not seriously challenging). Thanks for the races, see all ya next season.

Pity to have missed the re-run, life commitments meant I couldn't make it. Congrats to Axel, Andreas and Tris for rounding the podium . This season overall was a blast. I did enjoy racing the Eagle season-long. Whilst I was reasonably competitive with the 2 ltr formula, I did struggle in the 3 ltr races and given the woes that fell other racers I consider myself lucky to bag the championship considering the greater pace of several competitors. Thanks to Phil for moderating and to Jethro & Axel for hosting the races .
