Season 28 – Round 8 - 69 Extra Trophy - Mosport

For round 8 we visit Mosport. The first ever Canadian Grand Prix was held at Mosport in 1967 and was won by Jack Brabham.  The circuit was used again in 1969 in a race won by Jackie Ickx.  Jackie Stewart crashed out after tangling with a back marker.  More like something you would find in a GPL race than a real F1 event!.

69X use the 60fpsV1 (ftp://ukgpl3.dyndns.org/Replays/Archive/Season27/60fps/) patch.

The race will be run under INT rules and you have a free car choice.
You can do 1 shift+r with a consecutive stop and go in the pits !

Handicapping
Drivers will have a free car choice
BUT
For the Light drivers: Each car can be driven only once in this season!

Driver lists and explicit rules can be found on the championship page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=480&theme=6)

The red zone will be fully moderated for lap 1 only. For this event the red zone will be to the exit of Moss on the first lap . Other moderation will be on reported incidents only.  However any incidents that occur in the red zone that are not reported by the drivers will be reported by the moderator.

Please restrict chat to emergency messages only including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

The full time drivers can start to practice as soon as the server is available.  Reserve drivers can also join as soon as the server becomes available but must leave the server with 30 minutes of qualifying left, for a total of 5 minutes; this will allow any remaining full timers to join.  If there is enough space on the grid, the reserve drivers will be able to rejoin when there are 25 mins of qualifying left.  

I recomment for drivers with low spec pc's to use the original Papy track version for 60fps online races!

WE WILL USE a PASSWORD for the TRAINING SERVER! = 60fpsV1

Tonight could be quite quiet by the end of the race!
I've just spent some time working on a few setups (I won't have time immediately before the race) and what can I say? I thought Mosport was hard to drive fast on in a '67!
With the added speed into Moss corner it's nor near suicidal!  ;D

Well, that was absolute crap.

Mods are gonna get a workout.  >:(

What a dismal result!  :(

Apologies to a number of members for assorted knerfs.  Greg, Dean and a couple of others, too.

I'm not too keen on this series and have been larking about a bit.  The car restriction and reset aren't my cup of tea.  I'll be standing down for the balance of the season.

 >:( OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,  but you think that my rear is the Naomi ass.............I'm sick of being **** every race...............................



Edited to remove expletives.  No swearing please.

Excellent race for me. A bit lacking in entertainment perhaps, but Mosport is so difficult to overtake it tends to be follow-the-leader until someone investigates the scenery  ::).

Somehow managed 4th on the grid which became 2nd in the race after Greg & Doni's early tangle. Had Ronnie briefly nipping at my heels until he lost it at Moss corner. From then on it was a lonely drive to the flag, lapping the odd backmarker here and there.

Big congrats to Tim for a brilliant drive and to everyone else that finished  :).

Not my race...

As UKGPL3 does not work atm I uploaded the replay: https://www.sendspace.com/file/i8qtkm

Another crazy day at the races!

Congrats Tim and Sam! That was a thorough butt kicking you gave us!

Donnie, I thought you were supposed to get more mellow and patient with age. You might do a little better if you didn't try to play so tough with us.

I probably should have tried harder in qualifying. It looks like my best plan would have been to Q 2nd and hope I could stay in Tim's tow long enough to get away from Donnie and Sam. There wasn't much way for me to do it otherwise, especially before my tires heated.

I couldn't pass anybody except the 4wd cars and they weren't easy to pass. Phil was 2-3 seconds slower per lap than me but I couldn't really find a place to pass him. One ill conceived attempt at the end of the back straight almost ended in disaster. I tried to back out of the attempt but it was too late. I was airborne at that point and the brakes did nothing. When I landed with the brakes applied it sent me off the right side of the track. Luckily they slowed me enough that when I slid back across the track Phil was already into the turn. Luckily when I caught Phil again, he made a mistake that let me by easily. Clive made it easy for me too with his mistake. I just barely got by Piero and Andreas never tried to make it difficult for me.

I'm glad I'm not the villian this week. After the disasters I caused at Monaco and Monza, I was particularly careful and patient this time until near the end of the race. Even so, I still got too close to Phil at least twice and Marco once.

Thanks guys. See you next time.

very good performance Doni : L3    Taber,69X,Withfield .  L4 Logan. L6 Marco. L7 Curtis ...........all victims of your boorishness. SIX pilots kills in SIX laps.   So I should not say bad words????

You know, if I had the time...and inclination...to respond to these slings and arrows, I'd tear up a few members here.

Suffice to say that in each and every incident that I was involved in, I was NOT the instigator.  OPEN YOUR EYES!

I only fell back because my engine blew and I simply had to take a shift-r and trip into the pits. Otherwise you were looking at third at best last night Samb ::) Only joking. I had good pace but only for third spot. At least after the engine went and the pit stop I had some good racing with Piero and Dave.

Grats again to yourself and Tim. Commiserations to the contenders who fell by the wayside. Better luck next time.

Marco, Doni  Please report any incidents you are concerned about to the moderators using the link under the results table above.  This is the best way to sort things out amicably.  Swearing is not allowed on the forums under any circumstances.

Yes I saw you loose it in my mirrors and I was amazed you didn't collect me.

Lucky for you but not for me ;).  Good racing, I always make mistakes :(.  So getting past is just a matter of patience.

I seem to set my car up with less wing than most.  That makes my lap times a bit slower but it means I am very hard to pass because of the straight line speed.  When I did get overtaken I found it easy to catch up on the straights but I was left for dead in the corners.  The extra wing effectively cancels out the draft.

Yes, good racing with Piero and Ronnie.
Thanks to Piero, to let me overtake without trying to block me in the long straight.
Logically the Matra MS80 had more speed than the Lotus 63.

After that, I was the first surprised to be 3rd during several laps.
But Ronnie rejoin me and overtook when I made a little mistake.

4th is my best result of the season with these 69X.   

Moderation in progress   :wheelchair:

Moderation published. Sorry for the delay. The Mosport replay was entertaining to watch. Good racing! Commiserations to those who retired early.
