Season 40 – 1955 Grand Prix – Round 9 – Privateers - Monsanto Park

This race announcement is for the PRIVATEERS.

The ninth race in the 1955 Grand Prix series takes us to Portugal. The street circuit of Monsanto Park to be precise. Built on parkland, the circuit was considered difficult to drive because it crossed so many different types of surfaces, including tramlines at one point. The track hosted numerous races from 1954 to 1959, but only one race qualified as a Formula One event: the 1959 Portuguese Grand Prix, won by Stirling Moss. He won the race in the twilight hours, since the race was purposefully started late in the day to avoid the intense late summer sun.

Hi All,

Guess Im giving this one a miss. Its 9.28 now and no matter what ive tried i can only see the Works server on Igor,  not sure what im doing wrong.

Have i got the wrong day? LOL.

Unlucky, it was visible earlier in the session.

No help now - but as the Works server was visible, you could have tried connecting manually (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=23771.0) to the same public IP address shown in iGOR - but specifying the port for the Privateers race (32766).

(I was a bit slow checking, so can't advise if the IP address shown in the race post matched the resulting server external address)

Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave. No problem mate.

I left it far too late. Only wanted to have a run out with you guys. Been a long time since ive been able to race recently. 

Didnt give myself time to join via IP.. 

Cheers Dave, hope you all had fun.

The server did go AWOL from iGOR for a short while C 21:00 hours but it was back on about 5 mins later

Sad to see you missed the race Paul as  you would have been guaranteed at least a top 6 finish  ::)
