Season 30 - 69xtra - Fun Race – on the new Interlagos70 track

Autodromo de Interlagos
São Paulo, Brasil

Track Type: Race Track
Length: 4.95m
Standard version: 1.0
Track years: 1969 - 1977
Idea and Track Creator: Pablo Fernandez

The traditional name of the circuit (literally, "between lakes") comes from its location on the neighborhood of Interlagos, a region between two large artificial lakes, Guarapiranga and Billings, which were built in the early 20th century to supply the city with water and electric power. It was renamed in 1985 from "Autódromo de Interlagos" to "Autódromo José Carlos Pace" to honor the Brazilian Formula One driver José Carlos Pace, who died in a plane crash in 1977.

Formula One started racing there in 1972, the first year being a non-championship race, won by Argentinean Carlos Reutemann. The first World Championship Brazilian Grand Prix was held at Interlagos in 1973, the race won by defending Formula One World Champion and São Paulo local Emerson Fittipaldi. Fittipaldi won the race again the following year in bad weather and Brazilian driver José Carlos Pace won his only race at Interlagos in 1975.

Due to safety concerns with the 4.9 mile circuit, including the bumpy track surface and the inadequate barriers, deep ditches, and embankments, the last Formula One race held on the original Interlagos was in 1980.

Fun races will not be moderated – have fun please drive like a gentleman.

Shame we had 2x "mass" discos, first in quali 5-6 driver and 2nd after 2 laps 4 driver.

Shame for the discoes... I'm still too slow with these cars, but I hoped for some close racing at the back.

+ Groundhog has a running 69x Interlagos challenge. Just upload your plax69.ini at http://freeleo.hu/weekly/?page=Race%20info&race=201612110 and you are in :)

Sorry to hear about the disco's, yet good to see Andreas snatching a win! Well done mate! :)

Actually, no disco here.  Simply fatigued and retired early.

Thanks, was there at the right time in the right place!  ;)
