There was a mistake in the calendar which was corrected a while ago, I suspect you noted down the dates in your diary when the calendar was first published. The F2 race dates are:

26/03/2024       Tuesday   20:30 GMT   Ingliston 1968
23/04/2024       Tuesday   20:30 BST    Snetterton 67

Please note the time zone. The UK (and most countries in Europe) daylight saving changes come into effect on 31/3/2024

That explains a lot.

That was a busy race! My car was on a knife edge under braking, a fraction too late and I was off. It was manageable on my own but in traffic there was too much going on and I screwed up too many times. I had a great race with Tom, Cookie and Tris. I was catching Tom and Tris with 2 laps top go but I put a wheel on the grass and that was it, a massive spin and any chance of challenging them was gone.

I don't think I was the only one with brake issues. Both Tom and Cookie lost it under braking. I saw them both in my mirrors I managed to dive out of Tom's way but I lost sight of Cookie and despite running as wide as I could we made contact. I could continue without damage so no harm done.

Season 44 F1 1967 PRIVATEERS – Round 6 – Imola
The sixth race in the 1967 Works Grand Prix series finds us at Imola. The track was inaugurated in 1953, and it had no chicanes, so the run from Rivazza all the way to Tosa, through the pits and the eventually notorious Tamburello was totally flat out, as was the run from Acque Minerali all the way to Rivazza was just a long straight with a few small bends; and the circuit remained in this configuration until 1972. Long time home of the San Marino Grand Prix (and once of the Italian Grand Prix) the circuit is fast, bumpy and dangerous. After the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna in 1994, the track was remodelled to reduce speeds but we use the original, high speed layout.

THERE ARE MORE THAN 19 REGISTERED DRIVERS IN THIS SERIES, SO :
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.

Please check the Season 44 details regarding rules and the 1967 F1 Privateers Championship pages in particular.

Please use the Track Gap Freeze Fix Patch V.09 for all on-line races.

Please READ CAREFULLY THE RULES :
A driver must cross the start line in order to register the use of a chassis, participation in qualifying is not sufficient.

The tokens system will be used with drivers being awarded tokens for starting the season and for starting each race. Each car will cost a number of tokens per race.

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

Drivers must complete 50% race distance to score.

MOD PRO so no shift-R

Only reported incidents will be moderated.

Please, excepting emergencies, no chat until Session Completed in qualification. No chat in the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.

The guidance on how to do a S&G is here.

We used to mandate S&Gs for resets but in recent years we've stopped doing that. The driving standards are so high now a reset is detrimental enough. Driver's find it hard to overcome the disadvantage of the extra fuel. The additional deterant of a S&G is overkill.

I've updated the race post anyway just in case anyone has trouble finding the registration page

Enrique proved the Lancia had the legs to stay in the slipstream of the Mercs but I didn't have the same pace. So after the first lap sorting ourselves out (me, Evil, Syd and Fulvio) I found myself leading the pack and it was down to me to try to latch onto the Mercs ahead. Unfortunately I didn't manage it and Evil's plan was scuppered. However, it turned out to be a great race and as Evil has said, 5th was probably the best he could have hoped for if he had been in the leading group.

Despite Enrique's disco I was very pleased with the servers last night. As usual I ran both the Works and Privateer servers on my home broadband connection and the lag was minimal. I didn't see any warping despite having drivers in several different time zones. Let's hope the internet continues to perform well 

A very exciting race with overtaking on almost every lap. I wasn't quick enough to hang onto the leading pack and before long I found myself in the second group, battling with Evil, JonnyO, Syd and Fulvio. Alain dropped out of the lead group and joined in the fun but he managed to break the tow and pull away again. After a while Syd and Fulvio dropped out leaving me, Evil and JonnyO to battle to the line. JonnyO put in a fantastic drive to keep the Gordini in the fight. I had an advantage in the Lancia but I couldn't pull away from Evil's Vanwall.

I was watching Pribluda and I could see the leaders catching us and I was hoping we could stay ahead and complete the full distance. But no, they caught us on the back straight on their last lap. I pulled left to let them past but that gave Evil the draught to the line and he beat me by a car length. Unlucky for JonnyO, I don't know if you were planning a last lap dash to the line but if you were you didn't get the chance.

Thanks for spotting that Clive. Fixed now (dynamic IP must have changed today).

Yes
