Season 35 – 1967 F1 – Round 6 – Zeltweg

The sixth race in the 1967 F1 series finds us at Zeltweg Austria. Zeltweg - the original Österreichring. Built in 1969 to replace the bland and bumpy Zeltweg Airfield circuit, the track was known for being very fast, as every corner was a fast sweeper and taken in no lower than 3rd gear in a 5-speed gearbox and 4th in a 6-speed gearbox.  There are also noticeable changes in elevation during the course of a lap which means the downhill sections are even faster. Like most fast circuits it was a hard circuit on engines and even harder on tyres simply because the speeds were so consistently high.

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.

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

Race server (UKGPL4) is up on IGOR for testing. Please test your connections. It has the same max latency settings that we will be using for the race.

Hi Phil,
I've been on the server a couple of times recently (ok - I'm not coming from too far away!),  but unable to connect today.

Tried a few times since 18:00.  I see approx 42-44ms indicated.  However, either can connect through, get the event page but see 0:00:0 practice remaining/no green button to continue,  or connection initially looks to establish - then get "receive throughput fell to unacceptable level" & disconnected.  But still see approx 42ms in iGOR.

Are others able to connect ok?

Cheers,
Dave.

Just been on server and Tris was on. His connection looked good to me (no warping when he passed me  ::) )

Hopefully it will be OK for you now.

Ok, maybe something here then :)
I'll give it another go (when I can get out of playing schools...)

Cheers,
Dave.

everything working fine down south here in vienna at ping 69

thx! tim

Thanks for confirming ok chaps.  Looks like it was of my own doing :)

I'd fired up pingplotter earlier from a monitoring machine.  If I stopped that  - was able to connect from my (creaky) GPL machine fine.
(also tried it another couple of times with same results).

Cheers,
Dave.

Quite satisfied by my position at lap 24, is arrived the smoke from the engine to destroy all.Since i'm not fast on this track(not only this :laugh:)the result was unexpected but the mechanical problems.......

Nice racing for me until lap 11 when I lost it. I couldn´t get close to superfast Pelle and overdid it.
Afterwards I appology for hitting Phil Thornton -sorry, I braked to late as I saw the yellow flag very late..

btw: sunday-evening is very late for me because I have to get up early at monday..maybe I have to miss some races in the future..but I´ll give my best.

hopefully cu all soon!
tim

This was a good result, by my standards. The cars were close away from the line up to T1. I think Andreas & Dave C bumped wheels & a gap suddenly opened up. After that Dave R chased hard for 10 laps until he had an incident on the exit to the last turn. I was able to match Fulvios Honda lap for lap until the end but I could not get close enough to try a pass. I could see Dave C's Eagle in Prib about 10 seconds back also lapping at very similar times.
Despite no mistakes I still got lapped by Pelle's flying Eagle.

Crazy race for me. :o
maybe the server was set to have no damage, ::) because I had two very strong accidents and nothing happened in the eagle !!! ;D
After so much luck in a buggy race I can only be pleased to finish miraculously.
Pelle was irresistible !!!! disappeared in the distance! :thumbup2:
congrats Greg and Tristan for the podium!
 

I can tell you it wasn't  !!
I burnt 2 engines during the race.
Francesco seems to have the same trouble ...so not a track for V12 Ferrari :(
 

Hi :)  .... tuff race whith Brabham  vs  top cars  .... but I like the Braby :)  ... I find a good lap in qualif  that give my 3 rd on the grid  and the lucky podium at the end whith Tim retirement ....

well done Pelle & Greg ...thx all  and see you all next race ;)
