Title: UKGPL Season 35 (2019) 1966 F1 - Nürburgring - Nov 26
Post by: Phil Thornton on November 24, 2019, 10:32:52 PM +0000
Season 35 – 1966 Grand Prix – Round 9 – Nürburgring

Round 9 of the Historics Trophy  takes us to the Nürburgring-Nordschleife in Germany.  It has enjoyed a reputation as a terrifying and merciless route through the Eifel forest. An English journalist who visited the Nordschleife during the opening race on 18 June 1927 concluded “that it seemed as if a reeling, drunken giant had been sent out to determine the route”. The Formula 1 driver Jackie Stewart – a three-time world champion in 1969, 1971 and 1973 – was so impressed by the circuit that he gave it the name it will probably never lose: the Green Hell (Grüne Hölle). Racing and winning on the Nordschleife has always been very special for racing drivers, because the track is one of the most demanding in the world. Tricky corners, treacherous crests, steep inclines and gradients and constantly changing road surfaces demand great skill from the drivers and provides the cars with a very hard test.

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 read the championship specific rules on the championship standings page (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=689&theme=6).

(2) Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page - 1966 (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=691&theme=6)

There is no Red Zone. Moderating will be on reported incidents only. Remember that lap 1 incidents carry an additional penalty place.

The chassis token system is explained on the Historics Trophy standings page.

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

A driver must have sufficient tokens for the chassis he drives in the race.  Any driver who does not have sufficient tokens will be disqualified from the result and his tokens will be set to zero.

The chassis a driver uses in qualifying are disregarded when determining his token spend.
Note:  This is to cater for the instances when a driver either does not start or inadvertently joins with the wrong chassis and subsequently rejoins the server in another.

Any tokens not spent at the end of the season are ignored and are not used to determine championship positions in the event of a tie.


PRO rules means Shift-Rs are not allowed at any time and the damage model is realistic.
 
Drivers must complete 50% race distance to score.

Would be obliged if somebody can post the IP address for tomorrow's race. My machine refuses to connect to IGOR. I think it is something related to the firewall & I have spent a couple of hours trying to fix this with no luck. My only option is to join via the IP address.
Thanks.

Aggghhh!!!  Having a great battle with David and Andreas when I made a small mistake and they were through. Held on to them for the next couple of miles until I clipped a fence and lost two wheels.  >:(   It was only a minor tap, I've survived much worse fully intact. But that's racing.  Good luck gents, it will be a race of attrition.

You must have been dropped from the server. It happens sometimes. The mods will check the replay, work out what the replay time was when you finished and they will reinstate you.

Grats on finishing Fran. You did much better than me tonight  :)

Many thanks for helping out with the IP address. I think I have now worked out a way of temporarily disabling my AV software. Despite having set permissions for IGOR it still insists on blocking access. After all fuss my car control just wasn't working tonight. I had enough token for the 3L Ferrari but just could not keep it on track. Swapped for the 2L Ferrari which went where I wanted it to go 9rather slowly) but a small accident on lap 3 lost a wheel. Not quite enough distance for points. Never mind.

I saw the race and it seems you have been lost by the server but you finished 5th this race.
It will give me some works and I will need some help to update the results  :)


Nice battle with Andreas and Phil during 2 laps.
At lap3, I saw EvilClive at the bottom of the race so I decided to drive in a cool way but I made a silly mistake and that ended my race :(
By the way, it seems I will win this championship after EvilClive DNF.

Grats to Uli, Tristan (finishing the race with 3 wheels  ;D ) and Andreas for the podium.

It was a night I would rather forget TBH. Pre race, GEM/IGOR got itself into a complete meltdown and eventually I had to launch GPL 66 by finding the dedicated .exe file. When I eventually got GPL going I had the wrong driver profile and therefore no setups available.

The 10 mins of practice that I had was spent cobbling a working setup together, which was far from perfect. I was content to start near the back of the grid and "feel" my way into the race.
That all went wrong too as I was clipped by another car on the way down to T1 and bounced off the fence. The steering was not quite the same afterwards and the car wanted to go slightly left at all times. I This problem put me into the scenery a couple of times on the first lap and it was not long before I was dead last and quite a distance behind. Somewhere in the whole debacle I was behind Clive Loynes 3 ltr LotusBRM which travelling more carefully and slowly than I wished to proceed. TBH I was driving in a red mist and was not being careful enough when Clive braked his behemoth earlier than I anticipated. Fortunately he was able to continue, but the incident further compromised my steering and that was to finish my race a little later.
With a clear track ahead I was able to focus on staying on the tarmac and eventually caught Billy/Tago and Fran. They were intent on their own battle and I had no right to expect a free pass. Billy got a little out of shape and I slipped through...a short while later Tago was slow out of a corner and I took that chance. I caught Fran as we reached the long straight and with the slipstream I was able to attempt a pass. But the wayward steering dragged me into the bushes and screwed that attempt. Eventually I caught Fran again and passed him but it was not to last and I ran out of luck when I hit a bank and rolled the car.

I did see some weird things on Prib during my short race. Cars were shown only a few hundred metres ahead...then up to 2 km ahead and then it appeared that they were behind ??!! I saw David's car shown as being behind me by about 0.5km just before my race ended and I was going to slow down and try and get a finish, but then he jumped ahead again??  Not that it made any difference to the eventual outcome.

David..the final positions may not yet be decided. I think that you still must drop 2 results?  So everything rests on the final race?

Congrats Tristan, Andreas and finishers,
especially to you Tristan for managing that VERY close manoeuvre at Nordkurve first lap - what a breaking point!! - great speed at the first two laps and finishing on three wheels  :thumbup1:
That‘s a very special victory to me - shot me back into the past of 1966 when I saw that BT19 with Jack Brabham winning the German Grand Prix and I, as a John Surtees fan was so disappointed. I saw that races at the track area of Flugplatz saw the tragic accident of John Taylor, Jim Clark sliding in the dig on the right side after the first right-hander on the top and at the end of the race Ludovico Scarfiotti stopped his car after the bridge with technical probs (foto) - that was very impressive for an eleven years old boy - and formative as you can see ;)
THX for racing with you all, hope I find time to drive with you a full Season next year.
I‘m looking forward to your mod and track selection.

Sorry Clive but now my two worst results are 0 in Cadwell and 0 on Nurburg track !
so I really have an advantage of 60 points > a win (50 pts)   

I would have preferred to compete until the last round ...

Shucks!! you are quite correct David  :-\ I only glanced quickly at the points table before posting my last message.

Congratulations on the overall series win, top of the combined Ams and Pros  :notworthy: :notworthy:

Although I am 2nd atm, there is a scenario where Andreas can steal 2nd spot  ( or possibly even Ziu, if both Andreas and myself fail to score!!):o, so the last race will still be a challenge  ;)

And Fran went the full distance and finished one place behind me.

If Fran wants to be reinstated, we need the time he crossed the line and the numbers of laps driven

Can someone message Tago and tell him where he needs to enter his nationality?  So that he isn't driving under a white flag!

I can't see where it's done.

My apologies for taking so long to post ...

The previous training did not give me speed but I looked for confidence in the rhythm to finish because in the ring finishing is a taste of victory ... however the race day the fps went down and already in the race they fluctuated from 30 to 55...  With that just keeping me on track was already an authentic adventure ... I think I lasted 3 laps and then a mistake ended with me

I have already assigned Spain to my profile and I am still looking to fine tune a machine to be able to shoot with the 60 fps

Anyway... nice to be on track with all of you;)
