Title: UKGPL Season 36 (2020) 1967 F1 Senior - Spa - Mar 29

Season 36 1967F1 – Round 6 –  Spa67- Seniors

Season 36 is a joint series between GPL Brazil and UKGPL. This post is for the Senior division.
We’re into the second half of the season. This race will be at the Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium, famous for incredibly high speeds, variable weather & being simply dangerous. I have a vivid memory of a rainsoaked GP in 1998 when Michael Schumacher went storming down the pit lane absolutely furious with David Coulthard. The start was one of the worst crash fests I have ever seen in F1, eventually won by Damon Hill in the Jordan. Funnily enough the first GPL race I entered at Spa started with a huge pile up into Eau Rouge. Just shows that we like to keep things real.
Just to say that we will be using the beautifully remodelled Spa 67 version, not the Papyrus original.

Congrats Leon and Tim!

That was a nice drive Leon. I tried my best to drive fast enough to get you to make a mistake. I had to slow down after 6 laps or I or the car would have broke. :)

The Lotus performed well. I always get screen freezes at Spa67 with the Eagle so I drive the Lotus now. I was a little surprised by my speed. I guess I was inspired and riled to defend my previous lap record. I was more surprised by how slow Tim was. I thought he was the one to beat going into the event. Leon, you ruined my best chance to get a win this season.

It's a shame Jonny missed this one. I wouldn't have been surprised if he finished ahead of me.

Thanks for the fun guys.

Thanks, Greg. Great event. :)

In practice, Cookie told me through Team Speak that you were the king of spa.
And then when your 3:17 lap time came out, I just couldn't watch that and still got those four tenths out of the Eagle. ;D

Looking forward to next time. :punk:
