Season 25 Historic Trophy (66) - Round 1 - Kyalami

South Africa, Kyalami. Classic track, long time home of formula 1 in the Southern hemisphere.

The original, sweeping circuit was in use from 1961 until political sanctions eliminated the Grand Prix after the 1985 race. A very quick circuit, it yielded some memorable races. Gilles Villeneuve outfoxed team mate and home driver Jody Scheckter in a wet/dry race in 1979, and Alain Prost raced from the back to win in 1982. By the time the circuit held its last Grand Prix in its original incarnation cars were lapping the track in 1m 02s – 20 seconds faster than in 1967, a lap time in the 1m 02s might not quite be obtainable.

As always, we will run Pro Damage, so resets are not allowed.

Full moderation of lap one red zone

LAP ONE RED ZONE: Full moderation from race start to the exit of Clubhouse Bend.

Unfortunately tomorrow evening i have a condominium meeting(house).,so no race.
I have chosen only race at Tuesday where ,normally,i'm free >:(

Does that mean the red zone is for the entire race?
Although I suppose if running PRO damage,  maybe that does not change much?!

Moss was at Mos(s)port not Kyalami ;)
I changed it in Clubhouse Bend

T7 up and waiting for you all. I can't race tonight (Parent's evening at school). Good luck.

Having a great dice with Sky, Dean, David, Dave and Clive until my engine exploded  :taz:

Pity, some great driving from Sky.  Very clean and fair.  I'm not sure how much longer I could have held you back.  It was only a matter of time before I would have made a mistake and presented you with a chance.  The Ferrari power was my only real defence  :laugh:

hi  :laugh:

good qualif, and good race for me....I was especting more  fight on a papy track...

.....the next race is 2 liters race ?....

thx all and org.

Ask Ronnie about it...after couple laps I completely shunted him off the track in turn 1 and forced him to quit. Really sorry about it, Ronnie... but the braking points of people keep suprising me. After that i was braking 4 car lengts earlier than my usial there and still had some hairy stuations and accedental passes.  In the end the engine blew up with no reason at all... Im starting to hate the 66's, they handle really wierd too. There was also some fun close racing, but my connection was spiking badly almost all the time.

I was enjoying the early laps with the underpowered Eagle and had to keep it pretty much on the limit against the power of the Fezzas etc.

Like Sky, I also got caught out by the earlier braking of cars in front and had a couple of near misses and more that one excursion onto the grass at various corners which lost me a lot of time ( and places!!).

Luckily I only suffered minor damage to the handling and was able to ( more or less) keep things under control to sneak a 5th place by surviving until the end.

grats to Tris and the podium. maybe next time I will choose a more competitive car and not go for the difficult option  lol.

No problem Sky, it can happen to anyone. Grats again on the win in the Works race last Sunday as well.

Well next time just brake 3 car lengths too early and you will be clean through LOL ;D.  We went through T1 and T2 side by side several times; I knew you were there and although I couldn't see you I made sure you had enough room.  Don't be down hearted, IMO your driving was perfect.  You explored the limits of you car and mine for several laps and gave me the opportunity to defend fairly.  You didn't pounce on me at the first opportunity and try to scare me off the track.  Thanks for that I enjoyed the battle.
