Season 35 – 1967 F1 – Round 1 – Monza

Please note due to the low number of registrations we have combined the Works and Privateers grids onto a single server. This is the race announcement for both the works and privateers.

The first race in the 1967 F1 series takes us to the Cathedral of Speed in Italy. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a race track located near the city of Monza, north of Milan.  Built in the Royal Villa of Monza park in a woodland setting, the circuit has gone through numerous changes over the years.  Perhaps the most striking feature in the park is the steep banked (sopraelevata) curves on the now defunct 10Km variant, first used in 1955.  The original circuit (used between 1922 and 1933) also had an oval section but the banked curves were not as wide or as steep as the later 1955 variant.  The banked circuit was used on four occasions for Formula 1 races; in 1955, 1956, 1960 and finally in 1961 when it was decided that Formula 1 cars were just too fast to be safe on the oval track.   The banked oval section was last used in any capacity in 1969.  From 1962 onwards, the Formula 1 Grand Prix was held on the "road circuit" which by the early 1970s was also deemed to be too fast for Formula 1 cars.  Two chicanes were introduced for 1972 Italian Grand Prix, one at the Ascari curve and another on the approach to the Curva Grande.  

The full time drivers can start to practice as soon as the server is available.  Reserve drivers can also join as soon as the server becomes available but must leave the server with 35 minutes of qualifying left, for a total of 5 minutes; this will allow any remaining full timers to join.  If there is enough space on the grid, the reserve drivers will be able to rejoin when there are 30 mins of qualifying left.

Since i read"you are not licensed for the work",where i can read the password?

Francesco,
you voted for Privateers so you can't read pwd for Works.

By the way, it seems we are only 7 drivers for Privateers and 10 for Works so probably only one grid for all.
Should be clarified, today before the race.

Francesco, David

I need to combine the Works and Privateers into a single championship.  I'll do that today (I've had a busy weekend), so everyone will be given the race password in time for tonight's race.

Francesco, you should be able to see the password now.

Thank you, Phil  :notworthy:

Race server is up on IGOR for testing, please check your connections.

Thank you Phil.

We have 21 drivers in total now but not everyone will make every race. Hopefully we will have near full grids for every race and nobody will miss out.

Eric

Are you using the IP in the race post?  46.69.108.209

It should work. If not I don't understand what could be wrong. Maybe we have to do some testing after the race.

Sorry you are having trouble.

Regards

Phil

Thanks to organizers.
sorry to the eagle I clipped at para, I hope you managed to continue.
happily lapping in the BRM and the BT internet connection dropped off.
Grats to finishers &podium, see you next time.

At first, sorry Axel for the incident -i thought I was fast enough to be clearly in front..but wasn´t :( sorry!!

Gratulations to all finishers and thx Pelle for the great race. What a pace in the Honda you´ve shown!
-Three times I´ve lost little time when overlaping, one time my Ferrari mysteriously lost some power out of Variante Ascari, but every thing went back to normal after Parabolica?? I´m quite sure I had a similar issue last year at Interlagos..strange to me! -hopefully not my pedals..?

and big big thx for doing the championship again guys! very appreciated!

I know Eric had a few problems connecting to the server. Was it only Eric having problems or did anyone else experience difficulties? The server was fine for me but I am only a few metres away from it! Was it OK for the drivers based in Brazil?

here we had no problem with the connection, the server was perfect.

Unexpected result for me.I have avoided 2 risks,the first was the incident of Axel the second was Da Silva rejoinig at the exit of parabolica.
In both case some ability and lucky.Happy that at last one race was gone in the right way.

Grats Francesco for your win (Privateers series).  :clap:

Thank you Dave.

.......a second place is always celebrated, especially after 2 errors in the first lap and stay in the last 10s of the next rider,
but in fact I could have a quiet race because I only rode in 28s so it was not a satisfactory result considering the coins.
 Pelle is always awesome !!!.....awesome at speed ...and  equally impressive on the mistakes on the last lap.
   Tim's great win, it was impeccable!
     highlight to Ricardo Silva's pole.
....and to report, the internet was perfect here for us Brazil, we have 3 riders in the race.

  Hey!

Yes I got the right ip, 46.69.108.209. Nothing happen when I'm trying to connect. It's strange, because sooner this week I got no prob with the UK10 at 217.155.118.41.


    I will try to explain my problem as simply as possible. I don't know why, but if I connect to UK or Brazilian servers with igor, my car setups are completely crazy! At that moment I pass all the qualifiers trying to ride a drivable car. But if I connect via ip, I do not have this problem.

    For my race at Monza, it was short. I click to enter my car on the start line, CTD. Dead end

           

A CTD is associated with the client, usually the graphics. I don't think a server problem can cause a CTD.

The setup problem may be caused by having different car sets being associated with the same player. I have a different player for each mod (e.g. Thornton66, Thornton65, ThorntonGT etc). That way when I launch GEM I select the driver I want and the Mod is automatically selected and the selected driver appears in IGOR too.

,Do you use the same driver for different mods?

I'd be  happy do some server testing. I can try several mods so you will be able to try a few things and hopefully find out what is causing the problem. What night is best for you?

   Hello! 

For my CTD it was the first time I got it. Probably because I restart the game non stop like was not really a good idea.

  And yes, i'm different name for every mods.

       I'm ok everydays for making tests. For now I've try the the UK 10 and UK 11 and both working well.


    Bye!

Nice race with a nice full grid and a safe T1 L1, well done all, a not easy task at Monza  :)
Impressive pace and back up from last by Jonny  :o
Since half distance I had begun to suffer some fail shifting 5th to neutral while on full throttle that made me worry for my engine and made me loose some seconds here and there with Francesco more and more close at back.

Next one

Ricardo had to do a splash in the end? ???

@Jonny: thx for the roses but I have to mention the incident with Axel, which killed his race and all the luck I had further on because of all the dropings and twists some colleges had...I´d say it was rather lucky than impeccable, some other guys just needed more fortune on their side..
- well, here comes the good news: I never was leading a championship before..

so, see you hopefully all at Hockenheim-GP!!!

Big Grats Tim & Jonny :laugh:
(it's a bit tricky to get server replay, no matter how many links you find :D ...didn't get my own)

Qual:
Knowing it would be an impossible task to take pole in Honda, but satisfied with my starting position & very close to my Honda PB.

Race:
Really great with so many on server & in different cars. My big surprise that I followed so well with down to Grande & quickly got past several & now is just behind Ricardo in an Eagle...& I got stuck with a little bit of slipstream. After a couple of laps, side by side down to Parabolica & I could hear, Ricardo slows down late...I'm in front, in a Honda ;D

Later I make a silly mistake in Parabolica, hitting the hedge a bit with the rear wheel & it takes a little damage :o Tim is just passing by, but now race starts when it's best. Top entertainment, big thanks ;)
We switch to being in front several times, but don't know what happens later...Tim falls back. I sit a little, this is a dream? I can get a Honda over the line as in 1967...NO, Parabolica (again) before the last lap, DOH...Tim is passing, but it gets worse on the last lap (Parabolica again again) this time in the exit I hit fence & spins around, Jonny is over & i have to take a 3rd place...so close & lose it all in just over 1 lap ::)
Regardless, fully satisfied...especially when it is top race at the highest level & yes, sweat...it was indistinctly hot & maybe the reason I lost the concentration :-\

Without saying too much, this race had everything: Drama, crash, exciting close race, changing in front...here's everything for a movie :thumbup1:
Thanks to all of you here at UKGPL :thumbup2:

Pelle, I dropped back because my Ferrari mysteriously lost some power on exit Variante Ascari -don´t know why.. but indeed a great fight -Monza at it´s best. Great performance in your Honda!!

It was a beautiful championship start.

Monza is a very pleasant circuit to run

An accident-free start is an excellent start.

It was me, Rainier, Nobrakes and two other riders who did not remember the name,in a very good race that was practically the whole race

I was sad the time that Rainier not to hit me,in the braking of the parabolic, took his car off the road(attitude of great pilots) but then I was happy with his recovery from him

And in the end could not hold it.

All the riders I competed for were very clean,the pleasure of running in such a league

Too bad the holidays are coming, I can not wait to go back to running.

Congratulations Tim, for the victory, Pelle and Jonny by podium and Ricardo Silva for the magnificent pole position

Hugs to everyone and GPL in the vein always
