The UKGPL v GPL Brasil Challenge Fun Races.Another GPL league - another Challenge. This time a double header! GPL Brasil have challenged us to a race so we have agreed to a race on their patch and a race on ours.
A Brazilian Grand Prix followed by a classic British GP. 65's at Intelagos and then 67's (TBC) at Silverstone.
Sadly several of the best UKGPL drivers will be turning out for GPL Brasil
But let us make this event (the first of many, hopefully) a good one.
Interlagos:
We will use the
65 mod here.
Our friends at GPL Brasil have run at Interlagos a number of times, here's a lap with Raoni in the 69 mod to give you a preview of what you are up against;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi7EH2hsbHUThe Brazilian Grand Prix first used the original layout in 1973, and for the final time in 1980. Short highlights of that race are available here;

Silverstone:
An original Papy track. The layout has been changed many times since the heyday of this airfield in Northamptonshire. We are using the classic Papy original with the 67
F2 semi-beasts. The 1967 race was won by the late, great Jim Clark who completed 80 Laps! in 1 hour 59 minutes, 25.6 seconds. We wont be running quite so long but we might match the speed! Somebody will have to really go for it to beat the pole of 1:25.3 though!
Unlimited Shift+R is permitted but each must be followed by a Stop & Go

If we have enough drivers, we can run two grids but we must have even teams. We will see how many GPL Brasil we get on the night and we will even up the teams then - if necessary, UKGPLers can guest for GPL Brasil but everyone will get a drive. Just turn up on the night in iGOR but don't forget - 20:30!
