Moderator's Report

Great tight race with plenty of thrills and spills


Server replay time: 0h01m00s

Hendy takes a tightish line into T2 down the hill and Rob Venn takes avoiding action but loses control on the grass and bounces back into Hendy.

Rob does not reset but comes in for a Stop - presumably because he felt it might be a fault incident - it was unnecessary. A stop is only required if the driver resets the car with Shift-R.

More caution on cold tyres and full tanks would have been advisable though.


Server replay time: 0h01m08s

Jason partially loses control out of T2 and wobbles across the track which causes him to side swipe an innocent Norm

I put some laps in in the weeks before the race using my snetterton set up with adjustments to the top gears and camber and could achieve a lap in the high 26's so I was pleased to repeat this in qualifying although still only got fifth position. The setup I found for snetterton really helped me as before then I could not get the honda to stop and enter the corner facing forwards- for the record it was softening the rear rebound that did it. Anyway- the race- A slow start saw a few pass me into the first bend but I saw trouble ahead and cars sliding at all angles and managed to sneak through, when things quietened down I found myself in third with first and second pulling away from me. I opted for a conservative race as in practice I slid off the track a lot when pushing for a quick time so I was around a second or so off my best but it was much easier to stay on track. I don't know who was second but I think they slid somewhere as I did'nt make a pass in anger all race so for most off the time I just watched the gap to the leader slowly increasing until about 10 or 11 laps to go when my engine blew. A reset and stop and go saw me exit just in front of rog and hendy who both passed me within a few laps but also gave me back the place within a few laps. With 4 to go I short shifted all the way home terrified another engine failure would rob me of a podium- which it did'nt. Well done to Al on his great win. Cheesy

Yes,  I'm somewhat late to the '65 party!

I've not really done any driving in the '65s [or '69s/F2/GT/anything-that-isn't-standard-'67s;  not that I know about that either...].
But from the forums, it seemed that everyone is having a good time out there.  After joining in the Christmas Santas vs. Elves special last year (eek!),  I thought that maybe it would be worth a go.

<ramble>
So I have now competed about 39 laps round Mosport in a '65,  although admittedly the corners are still in the same place & go the same way.   With offline practice of a half-dozen laps in each Honda & Lotus,  I was 3secs slower in the Honda (which I was slighty disappointed in - I have a soft spot for them in '67 guise), so Lotus seemed better option.
Pre-qually PB was just sub-1:30. I was surprised to get 0.7 off that in qually & somehow got a further 1.1 off that near the end of the race,  probably because I was being pulled around.

All in all, these things are fun but I really need guys ahead to run off the track more!  There seemed to be quite a lot going on ahead of me,  which is how I inherited 4th at one point - before too many offs myself & back down to 10th or so.  So, there probably wasn't much actual overtaking (from me anyway).
</ramble>

Seems that being precise may be the key.  I'm just untidy everywhere,  but it sure was a blast!

Thanks for letting me in at short notice.  I tried to keep out of the way as much as possible, not that it necessarily panned out like that all the time.

Cheers,
Dave.

I was grateful you stuck to that on the last lap... I didn't dare look in the mirrors....

Anyone got any tips for Zandvoort - like Mosport I cannot break 1:30 but unlike Mosport I haven't found a way to do it consistently faster and I am stuck in the low 1:32's. Even Prib is 1:31+ Sad

Gearing seems important and I am struggling with that. Tried the Fezza and nearly melted the front left Sad

Better than last time though - my best in Season 20 was 1:34.6 - I can do better than that now...

I often go to GPL adddicts for inspiration , Steve Cloyds set ups are as good as any , the gearing is spot on but you might like to change the brake bias more towards the front .

After that its all about "line" and yet again corner exit speed  escp. out of "tarzan" and the final r/h before the main straight

Suggest you D/L and have a butchers at Steves replay to see how its done .

If you can get anywhere close to his 1:26 times , I'm gonna burn my wheel and peddles  Cheesy

Probably closer to 26.1 (minutes)  Cheesy

I find Steve Cloyds setups almost undriveable but I'll try anything....
