Title: UKGPL Season 40 (Spring 2022) 1965 F1 - Keimola - Jan 11
Post by: EvilClive on January 03, 2022, 10:28:39 AM +0000
Season 40 takes us on a Scandinavian based competition with a few excursions into other Northern countries.

The 1st race of the series takes us to Keimola in Finland, which we have used before.
The track was used in the 1960s for Formula 2 races but it never hosted a Formula 1 race. Originally opened in 1966
( which raises the question of how we are running a 1965 race here??) the track was abandoned in 1978. The pit exit is a bit unusual in that it isn't near the start line.

 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.  
 

Handicapping
Drivers are required to drive all 7 cars and no car can be driven more than twice.

Drivers are reminded that Lap 1 reported incidents carry an extra 1 place penalty.

Unlimited resets will be allowed with no need to make a S&G in the pit lane.

Congrats up front!

I've only driven the 65 Lotus previously,  I hope the other cars are more ameniable than the BT7 :)
(although any of them is clearly outstanding in capable hands!)

Well, there were couple of dragged-out/slow-speed scraps  (anyone else on the same corner or straight is a scrap in my book).

At the end, Pete was catching catching catching & was past.  
I was hoping to have a go at him using his slipstream in the last lap or so, but I was caught by lapping cars & after letting them ease past, it was not to be.  But was still fun anyway - congrats fella!

Time to download a bunch of new tracks/try some new cars...

Cheers,
Dave.

Welcome back. The 65s are so much fun to drive. In the race I made silly mistakes and three times I found myself exploring the grassy areas. Outbraking myself into turn one seemed to be the most common mistake. Dave, I would have caught you about 5 laps earlier had I not done exactly that. It was a great chase to the end, just too bad that you had to make way for the leaders and couldn't hunt me down.

The BT7 is one of my favourites. It's super nimble and, if you get the gearing right, it can be competitive. I had my first ever UKGPL victory in the BT7 last year at Philip Island. The car was on rails.

It was a nice fight with Tom, but i don't understand Will Bennet fighting for his life while we try to lap him and take a high risk for our race to overtake instead of lapping ??

Exactly the same happened to me.
I was in front of Dave and Pete ...Benett and was hoping a nice fight with them when Will, that I just hardly lapped, rearended me.
Nice team job for the Benetts team  >:(   

I don't know if there is something in the UKGPL rules about behaviour of lapped drivers.

Congrats to Fulvio! You had a perfect race, caught me in the early laps and settled a clean safe pass. I tried to follow and pressure you but you did no mistakes and had some extra acceleration out of the last turn.  :thumbup1:

Tuff luck for Cookie who had the speed to win

Thx Leo, it was a nice battle. I was surprised to run in 3rd position after the start passing Clive and Tris that had a poor start. Later I found that I had a very stable setup to try a move at T1 with you and later with Axel that unluckily run wide. Too bad you lost a bit of time in the end avoiding a crash at T1 that gave me a bit of breath in the final lap. I think that we did 36 lap in the process of lapping Pete on the straight cause I didn't see the flagman.  :laugh:
I watched replay and there was some unneccessary blocking by lapped cars.  ::)

Hi All. Please don't be too harsh. Will has a lot to learn regarding race-craft. He feels really bad about what happend at Keimola and I'll be giving him some on-line etiqutte lessons before Round 2. He's been driving a lot of Modern F1 sims against fellow teenagers where the driving is aggressive (to say the least). Now that he's amongst gentlemen, he'll quickly learn how to drive more appropriately.

I remember my first few races online and I was horrible. I was used to racing against the AI. Learning how to drive is easy, learning how to drive quickly takes a little longer, learning race-craft takes a life-time. I've learnt SO much from racing you guys over the past 12 months and I'm extrememly grateful. Please be patient. In time, Will will learn the same.

Remember - we were ALL rookies once upon a time.  ;)

My only grievance was that he out-qualified me. He's obviously got the potential to be quick.

On another note, by the time he's my age, UKGPL will be in season 112

 :o

"he'll quickly learn how to drive more appropriately"
What do you mean with "quickly" ?

We understand Pete and we are all armatures racing for fun and no other reward than that and bragging rights. I understand mistakes, we all make them in virtual racing, and it's noble to acknowledge them and ask for forgiveness. Note that I wasn't involved in any incident this race.

Keep practicing Will and remember to respect the others around and have fun.

But it's just hard to swallow that usual guy, that race this for ages, and just here pushed some five guys out of his way, like every other race.

Thanks to the race, I managed to clock up my 10,000 steps.

I don't know if was the frantic pedalling up the hill,  or all that rowing with the shifter;  but at least I achieved something...  and all over 10/11th place!

I received this Message:

The incident involved the following drivers:

    Andreas Gebhardt (AnGex)
    Bastian Grupp (bagrupp)

The incident may have been submitted by one of the above drivers, or by a witness or moderator.

But I do not know what I have to do with that?

Andreas,

Quote from: EvilClive on Today at 09:58:54 AM
William Bennet failed to allow cars that were attempting to lap him to pass and held up their progress.


You can add a comment or do nothing  ;)

The purpose of the Court system if to allow incidents to be investigated impartially and in the cold light of day when everyone has calmed down. Anybody can use the link below the race results to raise an incident report. An important aspect of the Court system is that any driver who is identified on an incident report is sent an IM by the system. They are invited to comment, it is helpful to the moderators to have as much information as possible when investigating an incident report. A reply is not mandatory, but if a driver does not respond then they cannot complain if their side of the story was not taken into account.

An explanation of the Court System is on this web page (https://www.ukgpl.com/index.php/moderating/court).

Please be aware, just because you are sent a message by the system, it doesn't mean you are under investigation. It may simply mean you were close to the incident and your opinion would be welcome. There is no need to reply if you do not have anything significant to say.
