Season 40 - SC67 Cup – Round 9 - Monza 1000k

The 9th round of the SCX Season 40 will be held at Monza 1000k - the 10km track was too fast, so they made 2 chicanes for the GT's.
Monza the hard way...

Please check the Season 40 details (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1691&theme=6) regarding rules and the SCX Cup pages (https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=1761&theme=6) in particular.
In order to add an element of realism, and to hopefully reduce the possibility of rear-end incidents, the brake light patch will be used (http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=13319&#entry145626)  :eek:

Do we have to consider the car already choosed at Spa that will be rerun?

No you are free to take any car, as long it's in the rules...

A training server is starting soon

Date of the Sp67 rerun is set to June 10th

I'm unable to join... keep getting booted back to Multiplayer Screen after connection has been accepted.

9:32pm UPDATE: Damn! I was looking forward to this one. The track loads fine offline with this Mod. IGOR tells me that the track is not installed (when it clearly is) so I joined via IP address. Connection is accepted but then the pits screen is displayed for about 1/2 a second before I'm booted back to the Multiplayer Screen. All settings and options are correct in GEM+ (brake light patch and 60fpsV2New etc). I've never had this problem before. I even re-downloaded the track but that did not fix it either. As an experiment, I tried joining another race on IGOR and this worked just fine. (SC Mod at Monza 67). Any ideas?

Pete why did you not try this afternoon... Server was running

You have the track with the ugly chicanes?! (mnz1000k)

June 10 is Assen

you meant June 17 for Spa67 ?

YES
June 17 for Spa67

Hangs head  in embarrassment. I had wrong track. Monza10k.

Didn't realise the one with chicanes existed. I've had no time this week to test so only got to GPL rig at 9pm today.

I'll download this track tomorrow to see what I've missed.

Groan...  Been there and done exactly that, Pete.  Some years back, I blew my brains out trying to join an OAO practice session believing it to be M10K.  Nope.  Later I learned that it was run on the M1000 circuit with the chicanes.  I had that available to me but not in the proper track folder.  C'est la vie...

This is why we always publish the track directory in the race announcements and registration threads. The track directory names are unique.

I know. I didn't give it a second glance as I didn't even know the track with chicanes existed. What a doofus!

Congrats Tristan and Doni! It´s good to see Doni get the Ferrari a podium spot. I thought it might be considered somewhat of a sacrilege driving a Ford at Monza.

Pete, that´s a shame you couldn´t find the problem sooner. I also wonder what happened to Fulvio and Claudio. I was interested in seeing what car Fulvio would drive.

That was another unexpected win. With Yannick and Tristan racing, I never have any real hope of winning unless I have a good car advantage against them. It was very unlikely I could beat Tristan unless he made a big mistake. My only hope to win was pass him on the last lap before Curva Grande and hope I could keep him behind for the rest of the lap. He crashed terribly on the banking giving me the lead. I couldn´t tell exactly where his car was and hoped he wouldn´t come back on the track in front me. I got lucky to get by his wrecked Chaparral.

Thanks for the fun gentlemen.

Nice job for the victory, Greg!  Smokin' hot over the duration.

Quite frankly, a lucky podium for me as Yannick fell afoul of the banking a couple of times and Axel suffered an engine failure in the closing stages to promote me.  For many a lap, I was his shadow but realistically, it was all I could do to hang on.  A pass wasn't really likely and I needed a mistake/misfortune to strike Axel if I was going to pass.  As luck would have it, the normally bullet-proof 7-litre Ford mill gave up on him late in the going.  Bad luck there, Axel.  It was fun chasing you.

Yes , it was a cool battle before I lost the car on the banking ... and jump the barriere !!^^.....landing was hard :D and I do shift-r to find the track .... then Greg was too far away and I just try to keep and finish at this place  ...  :)  happy with it !
Well done Greg & Doni ;) ....thx all and Org.

Axel, as I tell you at first of the season, I can't drive the Chap 2F because of the wing and the F10 vue, 
 you tell me we will see that at the end of season .....so it's time ;) , should I drive the 2D in Assen ?
  Thx ;)

Yes you can use the 2D  ;)

imo the 2F is better...

yes I know but...you know .....;)
