Season 31 Historic Trophy – Round 4 Re-Run - Spa`67

Welcome to the re-run of the fourth round of the Historic Trophy at Spa67, the classic track with new layout for GPL. This is the long awaited update to the Papy original. Perhaps THE classic Grand Prix circuit, the original triangular shaped course was designed in 1920 by Jules de Their and Henri Langlois Van Ophem. It used public roads between the towns of Spa, Malmedy and Stavelot.  The course was extremely fast and was made even faster in 1939 with the introduction of the famous Eau Rouge section.  The circuit was completely revised and shortened for the 1981 Belgian Grand Prix but it is the classic 60's 8.761 mile version of the track that we will use for this race.

This version of the circuit was used between 1946 and 1970 and corners like Eau Rouge, Burnenville and particularly Masta presented the drivers with exceptional challenges. Due to the combination of high speed, length and lack of any possible run off, the circuit was very dangerous and claimed the lives of many drivers.

This race is for cars with 3 Litre engines.

I hope it works

In the event it does not UKGPL9 will be standing by.

Thanks Jethro. Hopefully the server will be fine.

Server is up if anyone wants to practice.  It would be helpful if a few people had a go and stayed on for a race so we can check the start is normal.  What happened last time was bizarre!

Phil, I just tested it and had no green button for the starting grid!!!

Please use this special server track.ini (https://www.sendspace.com/file/dwykjj) and delete all other mod specific XXtrack.ini's

Used Axel's track.ini file and server has been up all day for praccy.  No problems so far so hopefully we are good to go for the race.

Thank you Tristan for having given me a long race :nono:

Too much hurry to try for gain detachment but Masta does not forgive

Thanks for permitted me to partecipate at this championchip and great compliments to Sam for victory and all!

You're welcome Alessandro, I hope you will join us for Season 32!

Results uploaded.  I think the server behaved itself tonight (thanks to Cookie for the server track.ini file  ;D )

Dang. The one time it worked out that I could have a good scrap with Tris, I'm half down with a summertime cold, and really not at my best (as he saw)  :(. So, sorry to him for my lap 2 missteps, and awesome job avoiding taking us both out. After his lap 3 minor excursion, I tried to build a gap, but he caught me quickly. From then on, it was follow him to the flag (hope I made it obvious that I was not seriously challenging).

Thanks for the races, see all ya next season.

Pity to have missed the re-run, life commitments meant I couldn't make it. Congrats to Axel, Andreas and Tris for rounding the podium  :).

This season overall was a blast. I did enjoy racing the Eagle season-long. Whilst I was reasonably competitive with the 2 ltr formula, I did struggle in the 3 ltr races and given the woes that fell other racers I consider myself lucky to bag the championship considering the greater pace of several competitors. Thanks to Phil for moderating and to Jethro & Axel for hosting the races  :).

I hate that little gras strip on the kink before la Source...it's the second time this season this spot spins me out heavily into the barriers

BRAVO for the champ Sam ;)
was tuff whith the McLaren ( around 20 km/h slower than the Ferrari ! ) and I'm happy whith the race and Champ podium....

Sorry Francesco but you was just 40 km/h slower in Masta .....I try but can't avoid contact....

Well done Axel and AnGex ... ;)

Hope be here next season ;) thx all , racers and org. have a nice break ....

But there was Evilclive in spin in front of me!The contact was fatal for me,sice there is no shift-R.

Here you find the schedule: http://freeleo.hu/weekly/?page=Events%20and%20seasons&champ=2017/2%20-%20F1%201955

Thank you Axel

it would not connect me to the server without the right track ?
i'm lost

Strange discussion... ::)

IMO you should delete/rename the track55.ini for online races to not have the haybales in Para!
And look if you have all updates for the track (http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=11806&#entry125103) ;)

I tried to make a joke ...but no sucess  ;)
Because I thought Lesmo was at Monza not Spa !

Ok, you got me :)
Completly....wait for revenge  ;D


thx cookie

Moderation published.

We've congratulated Sam before but now the season is completely finished it is official, Sam is the champion with Tristan taking the runner-up spot from Cookie.

Thanks for a fun season gents.  The standard of driving has been very high, there were only 3 races where a penalty was awarded. Hope to run the Historics again in Season 32 if there is enough interest.
