The Novices Trophy arrives in MittelEuropa among the hills of Styria in central Austria. Couple of nice long straights with tricky bends at the end make this a good test. Originally built in 1969 to replace the bland and bumpy Zeltweg Airfield circuit (don't get the wrong track!), the Österreichring track was known for being very fast, as every corner was a fast sweeper and were taken in no lower than 3rd gear in a 5-speed gearbox and 4th in a 6-speed gearbox, as well as noticeable changes in elevation during the course of a lap. If you can manage that gearing you will be doing quite well!
In line with the new handicapping system, only Rob is handicapped and we might abandon this when he has won the championship - no point - It might make a difference here but I am not banking on it. Rob seems to LIKE the BT7!!!
