My qualifying of 1:22.9 was within a few hundredths of the 90 percentile rank of the marque here, so even though I qualified dead last, I didn't feel the car was letting me down as much as I was disappointing it.
Billy's spin at T1 and the collection of cars on the side of the road at Jukskei on the first lap raised me to 4th, a happy status that lasted until Billy finally caught up to me on L11. His Eagle couldn't shake me, however, and we stayed within sight of each other until Francesco caught me on L29 and Dave slipped by me on the lap after that. I held on to finish 6th. Facing two Loti, a couple of BTs, a pair of Eagles, and a red car, how much better could the poor Coop expect to do? At the end there were just 13 seconds between 3rd and 7th, so I'm feeling pretty good about the entire season tonight. This was hard but clean racing in this season finale, and I'm proud of everyone for their concentration, effort, and skill. But next year I'll start playing the car swapping game. Statements of principle are nice, but being competitive might be even better. :) Title: Re: UKGPL Season 34 (2019) 1967 F1 Privateers - Kyalami - Jun 2 Post by: Billy Nobrakes on June 03, 2019, 06:33:59 PM +0100 Cruising along in 3rd spot when I saw the red warning light telling me I had 2.5 gallons of fuel on lap 27. For some daft reason I fuelled for 10 laps short. According to Prib I had a 19 second lead on Fran. Too much thinking about how to stop & go meant I lost a corner & belted the armco. The pit stop cost 3 places whereas a neat halt & duck into the pits might have just worked. Congrats to Dulima, Ricardo & Eric who have been dominant nearly all season. We have had a good, competitive turnout since race 1. Have enjoyed even though points were hard to come by.

I had a satisfying 2nd position on the grid. I made a correct start but had to push on the brakes to not rearend DuLima at the first turn. Probably, this made a confusion for the following cars ? (i have not yet seen the replay) During the first laps, I tried to follow DuLima and had an advantage of around 11 seconds to the 3rd driver. But I made a first mistake, and then another and finally blowed my Cosworth so shift-R to finish at the 7th position. During the season, I earned tokens to be able to use the Lotus at the final round but it was an error as I am not confident with this car. If I had to summarize my UKGPL season 34, I would say "thank you Germany and big thanks to Old Jack" because my 3 wins were in this country and with a Brabham : Mod67 : I won on the Nordschleife - Nürburgring with the BT24 Mod 69X : I won at Hockenheim with the BT26 Mod 66 : I won on the Sachsenring with the BT19 Title: Re: UKGPL Season 34 (2019) 1967 F1 Privateers - Kyalami - Jun 2 Post by: Ricardo Valim da Silva on June 05, 2019, 10:57:18 PM +0100 I would like to congratulate the organization for the championship and to Du Lima for being champion and for all those who participated. I could not get there in time for this last race, but I'm very happy because I had a lot of fun with this season, because gpl for me is this dispute with fun, because winning is a consequence. Thank you all more time.
