Season 32 Works Trophy – Round 7 –  Brno 1949

For this round the Works & Privateers part company. The Works visit the Czech Republic. The Masaryk circuit at Brno was originally founded as a race circuit in 1930, the original course running counter-clockwise for some 29.1Km (18 miles) through 9 towns/villages. The layout changed direction & was progressively shortened over the years. For this race we will be using the classic 1949 version.

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

Note that this track has no brakemarkers compared to Brno65, making it harder (as well having an added section). So you have to judge on groove and other trackside objects.

Also got a screenfreeze at 60fps in my 2nd lap, might be tempted to test @ 36fps  :-\

Touch wood, but this might be a race with few finishers...

Brno49 isn't mentioned in the GPLRacer track blacklist, but the 65 version with lag, Snetterton for the privs is well known for freezes...

I had a really bizarre problem installing the track. Installer insisted the track was installed, but the track folder said otherwise  ::).

It has been 6 years since I built the PC I've been using and it is beginning to show its age. An upgrade with a fresh install is probably required as it's not the first time it's been performing oddly.

Hope the rest of you have better luck.

Use the Season Manager in GEM+ to diagnose/fix?

As for my race, went exploring during qual and got DQ'd. But people were super cautious off the grid, so I snagged P3 even before the left kink, then got P2 when Andreas(?) ahead mucked up braking into the second hairpin. That didn't last long. :P

Survived four (I think?) spins/offtracks, losing places each time, to start lap 2 in p7 according to pit board. Closing in rapidly on Doni ahead, I found one of those lovely ditches that just happen to flip the car over quite gently indeed.

Bah.

GJ to those surviving this track.

Apologies for the very tight grid, great work off the start line not to hit anybody. Mine ended at the second big brake point when I couldn't get the BRM anchored. Perhaps if the engine had fallen out I might have been able to steal a Repco...

Sorry to hear guys. Missed some of the faster guys like Sam and Tris.

Had done some laps before the race, but still learning each lap, since it's a long track. In quali drove 3s off my PB. Setup was on the edge bottoming out at the two major dippers/compressions, despite more ride height and bigger bump rubbers. Ran slightly more ride height for racesetup to compensate for the fuel/more weight.

Start was tricky with a tight grid, but Doni gave me a break towards T1, and from then on never looked back. Each lap was a fast lap, but for lap 7. Lost focus, made a few mistakes and just avoided some trees on two accounts, and also hitting the haybales later in the lap. Last lap caught Andreas' ailing car but still pushed for fast lap and managed that as well. As said, at such tracks you learn each lap a little bit more.

Very fun track for me at least, great job Jonny from the rear, and Doni for podiums! :) Respect to Andreas for finishing. Commiserations to the DNF's ;)

Thanks all for racing and Jethro for server duties! :)

  Oh my god!!!!... roberts was in another galaxy!!! Congrats man!

  I love this track, I could not make it and I got late but, It is always a great pleasure to run in Brno49!
 "thank you Alain for making it easier at a time of the race"

Hi all

Difficult running(race), at the end of sleeve(round,handle) I did not see any more very well the track(runway) because I was tired and my eyes filled(performed) with water.

I waited for the passage of the leader to finish in 2 tours(towers,ballots) of him but LPG my exit(release) of the running(race) for too slow speed.

Bravo Roberts et merci pour l'organisation aux Administrateurs.

Happy new year all
