For the 2nd round we go to Montjuich Hill near Barcelona.
This track was a street circuit on Montjuich mountain above Barcelona. A twisty tricky circuit, it was the site of the tragic 1975 Spanish Grand Prix. Many drivers felt that the circuit was unsafe, and two time world champion Emerson Fittipaldi withdrew in protest before the start of the race. On lap 26 the Embassy Hill-Lola car of Rolf Stommelen left the track, killing five people. The race was subsequently stopped at half distance and half points awarded, with Jochen Mass being recorded as the winner. Lella Lombardi became the first female driver to score world championship points, taking 0.5 points for 6th place. Formula One never returned to the circuit after the accident.

sorry for answer late-
  for me cooper and Brabham
  thanks

about the race, bad luck, lap 23 in 1 position, with more than 30 seconds for the 2 place, and freeze.... well. what can I do a victory in my hands, gone, for bad luck... :-\
  anyway, cya next race guys...

freeze me too.

Montjuich every timr freez for me, since the begining !

That is tough luck Enrique  :-\

I hope that others did not get disco or freeze and that all reached the flag.

I am still very angry with myself  :taz: :taz: :taz: :taz:  I had the lead and was not pushing hard, but I selected 2nd gear instead of 4th approaching T1 and the car spun, hit the barrier...3 wheels  :scared: :scared:
I am still learning to use "H" shifter, but still making too many mistakes  ::).

edit. oops!! Phillipe also freeze.

Crash for me at T1 :(
I was trying to pass Eric for the lead, but thenIlost the rear trying to avoid his car. Luckily I could to the outside rail, otherwise I would also collect him.
Pity for the ones who froze. You had a comfortable lead, Farina.

So far, only 3 drivers surviving: Eric, Fulvio and Claudio

Unlucky Clive. Keep working at it. Hot lapping with H-Shifter is hard enough but when you have other racers to think about your brain finds it hard to cope. Changing gear needs to be a subconcious act which means lots of practice!

The download link for the replay doesn't work for me. :(

Thanks you!! :D

Third or last, it doesn't matter, there's not much to report. The race was denatured  because of disconnections. I think the track has a problem, or the 60 fps patch plus this track.  We plan to use Montjuich69 v2 in oAo this season, but now I'm not too sure. While driving yesterday the graphics was behaving strangely, I thought it was my turn at any moment. My only satifaction is that during the 78 laps I did, qualifying plus race, I didn't touch the guards even once.
I'll see you at Interlagos, hopefully with a better race.
Thanks for organising this!

Thanks for reporting strange graphics Claudio. I thought that it must be my PC, but maybe there was something happening through the server if others were seeing strange stuff?

This track looks great and it is fun to drive, but there does seem to be a few problems with the number of discos that we have seen in recent events??

Grats to the three drivers who survived and took the podium places.

What happened during lap two, Axel ?

You ran very wide at the infamous T1 hairpin, then I thought you were cautiously waiting for my pass ...but suddenly you pushed the throttle and we collided !
I saw you lost a wheel so race ended.

I could continue without damage but on lap 18, I broke my engine although I was slow with the only hope to finish the race.   

Yeah sorry David,
I was firmly convinced that I was in the last position and had no thought that anyone else could come,
luckily you could move on.

surrely, this track has a problem, it's not the first time. Every time I drive on montjuich or Snetterton, I got freeze...every time !

 ::)

Congratulations Fulvio, Eric (BGB Team) and Claudio.
I apologize for my absence on Friday night, too tired I fell asleep like a newborn :)

See you soon  ;)
