UKGPL Season 22 65 Novices TrophyRace 2 Mexico CityWelcome to the second round of the Novices Trophy for Season 22. Time for the men to be sorted from the boys. Having shaken off the rust at sunny Surfers with a tight twisty track with one really long straight we are going to a standard Papy track which has a really long start/finish straight and lots of tight twisty sections! Hmm, who chose these tracks?
Our second race is at the historic 2.747-mile race track "Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez" in Mexico City, named for the famous racing drivers Ricardo and Pedro Rodríguez. This track first hosted F1 in 1962 when Ricardo was killed in practice for the non-championship event. Despite this inauspicious start the course was a staple of the F1 championship between 1963 and 1970. The 65 is again well suited to this track and should provide some close racing if we can avoid the deadly polos. However, be aware that it could be a little crowded when we get to the esses first time round. There will be crashes and patience is a must. The first lap will be fully moderated within the red zone. The
red zone will extend to the whole of the first lap.
Please check the Season 22 pages for
details regarding rules and the
Novices Trophy pages in particular.
It is very important that drivers are FULLY familiar with the rules relating to Shift-R. EVERY Shift-R MUST be followed by a Stop-and-Go or the driver will be excluded.
