Season 31 Historic Trophy – Round 10 - Aintree

The tenth race in the Historic series finds us in the north of England. Aintree is undoubtedly famous for the iconic Grand National horse race but for several years it reverberated to the sound of horses of a different kind. The circuit was built in 1954 and hosted the Formula One British Grand Prix five times, in 1955, 1957, 1959, 1961 and 1962. Stirling Moss, driving a Mercedes, won his first British Grand Prix at Aintree in 1955.  It was the first time a British driver had won his home Grand Prix. The first British driver / British car victory in a British Grand Prix was also at Aintree in 1957, when Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks shared a Vanwall. Quite why Grand Prix racing stopped at Aintree is unclear.  The close proximity of housing may have been a factor but the circuit would no doubt have needed to improve safety standards.  The original track can still be seen, and driven on, today. The lack of any run-off areas in the section to the west of the Melling Road all too apparent. The section to the east of the Melling Road which is wide open and relatively safe is still in regular use for motorcycle racing.

This race is for cars with 3 Litre engines.

Driver lists and divisional rules can be found on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=591&theme=6)

Only reported incidents will be moderated, there is no Red Zone.

The traditional Historics handicapping system will be used for this season with the drivers leading the championship being limited to the slower chassis.

Drivers limited to the Group I cars (Mclaren M2B Ford or T1G Eagle Weslake) are:
Samb and Doni Yourth

Drivers limited to the Group I or Group II cars (Mclaren M2B Ford, T1G Eagle Weslake, BRM P83 or Lotus 43 BRM) are:
AndyL and Tristan

All other drivers have a free choice.

This is Round 10 but we have only had 9 official races because Round 4 at Spa was discounted.  If you remember we had a bizarre situation where everyone except Axel was unable to take their grid positions. Consequently, practically the entire field had to start from the pit lane. We had agreed to re-run Round 4.

The title has been decided but there are still a few drivers who are fighting for the second and third place slots.  So it is important that we re-run the race. The re-run of round 4 will take place on 16 July 2017, there being the normal 2 week gap after the previous round.

Hi  ;) ....... can we use the 2 liters cars ? ....as last season !....

Sorry Tristan, we've already had five 2 Litre races. This one and the re-run of round 4 are both for 3 Litre cars. I'm sure a driver of your capabilities will develop a good setup for a 3 Litre car!

I'll be at the Joe Shaw gathering at Brands Hatch this weekend so Axel has kindly agreed to host the race on his server.

Good luck everyone!

Nice drivin', Bas...  :(

Sorry. I spun and was in your way then...i'm sad you couldn't go on.

My car was quite damaged afterwards, Suspension with my wheel pointing to the left.

But I managed to do even faster laps than before but it was a lonely race.

Strange behaviour of my car.I noticed immediately after the start something strange.All the race i was not able to run under 1,57 and during the qualy i was able to go around  1,50.it seemed all slow ???despite the correct frame rate.

I need a replay please

Please, due to a mistake I made there was no reply saved by the server, I have the export file, but I need the complete.txt too.
So please upload the file at https://www.sendspace.com/ and give me the link, THANKS

Unfortunately I closed without to save replay, hope somebody else..

p.s. Is there a method/tool that save replay automatically at the end of the races? like GTR2 for example

Yes you can, when joining or hosting a race at iGOR there is a checkbox to save the replay.

I had archived old rpy files on my server and forgot to rename the replay folder so GPL did not save...

I could be wrong ;)  but I think that may only apply/work on the machine hosting the race?  Although I know it can be selected on clients, I don't think it actually does anything?

The export file should be the minimum to import the race, the Complete file fleshes it out.

If a race was completed and nobody was there to record it, did it really happen?

:)

I could be a figment of my own imagination  ::)

I assume you want the complete replay of race.. right?
I have saved only one lap of race, do is enough for obtain complete report?

I've managed to import the results from the HTML export Cookie saved but the car types haven't been updated properly. There isn't enough information in the HTML file to sort that out.  I've only managed to correct Fran's car to a 1966 F1 so the system thinks Fran has won and given him 50 points in the championship table.

Obviously this is wrong and needs correcting, we are working on it.

3.0 Brabham for me please

The SROU import needs both files for the 66 mod,
as there are more than the 7 car slots of the original and
the cars can be identified by the GPLRA_complete.txt generated of the replay.

A reverse result!My race has been  affected by a strange phenomenon,all the reactions of the car  was slow but also with all OK was impossible for me to achieve this result ;D

Can you upload the rpy text File somewhere please.
I have to autosave replay...

Alessandro the database needs a strict form of the import file, else it refuses it.
Only a GPLRA_report_complete.txt can be imported...

This is report file, I don't know if there is other file in replay I am no able with this functions  https://www.sendspace.com/file/ism6pb (https://www.sendspace.com/file/ism6pb)

Thx Alessandro, but it does not contain the practise as you mentioned...

Our webmaster Giz implemented a workaround to allow me to manually update the chassis.  The results and championship tables look fine now.

I hope this was a clean race and there is no need for any incident reports.  Please let me know ASAP if I am mistaken.  Now I will only need the replay if I need to moderate an incident (I don't need it for the import).

Sorry i read only now. I saved my full replay as always. I'll upload it if you still need it.
Ciao

YEAH!! grazie Fulvio!

Hi Fulvio

I probably won't need it now (unless someone submits a last minute incident report) but it would still be good if you could upload the replay to UKGPL3 so we have a record of the event.  I assume you have the ftp details for this site (ftp://ukgpl3.dyndns.org/Replays/Archive/Season31/Historics/)?

Nope Phil, I haven't.
You can download it from here: Edit:removed link.

Thanks Fulvio.  I've uploaded the replay to our normal replay sites.

Thx Phil, I have removed my link.
