The circuit was the venue for the Spanish Motorcycle Grand Prix from 1950 to 1968, and then hosted F1 cars on even-numbered years until 1976. The last F1 Grand Prix held there in 1975, is notable for a fatal crash that led to Formula One abandoning the venue. For THIS RACE, ONLY 3 liters car could be selectedThere will be full moderation of lap one Red Zone and reported incidents for the rest of the race. Please submit incident reports within a week after the race so that the moderators report may be out before the next race. Full time drivers have priority access to the server until 21.00 UK time.

Wasn't very confident as I have never managed a lap in the 3L cars...
Still qualified and was not last (second last...) and made a good start. Super cautious at T1 and took a VERY wide line to avoid ANY possible trouble but slid slightly and tapped the Armco at 3mph. AT which point my front wheel fell off. I had to laugh. Worth coming just to help start the server. Hope it is a bit better NEXT Tuesday.

Screen freeze from 2nd place with about 10 laps to go. Had screen freeze here in 65 Pros last week too along with several others. Can be stop using this track please? It's clearly dodgy.
Nice racing with Ronnie who was going really well until he got frozen.

Apologies to the back of the grid for my start. For some reason the GPL game rotates my steering wheel at the start. It will usually rotate to normal - but it didn't unlock until the start flag went down. The wheel was so far that I selected what I thought was 1st only to move backwards! After a couple of moments I worked out I was in reverese - those behind me - particularly Pierre - must have though WHAT IS THIS IDIOT DOING - well now you know. Probably due a penalty for being a muppet. I do like this track - apart from the speed bump on the main straight - which finally caught me out about 1/2 distance & deposited me in the haybales at Turn 1. Sorry for those who had screen freezes - shame if we lose a a good track - but there are many more to try out. Good to have Goran back on track for Season 24.

I had a CDT again in qually, ( just as I was about to snatch pole position of course!) That required a total switch off and restart to clear the sound loop and by the time I returned to GPL world....the server was full!! Rats!!! again. This PC is very close to a getting a hosepipe where it does not want it!!!

It's odd people have screen freeze problems with Montjuic, I never experienced any issues with it. Perhaps there is some fix which I installed, can't really remember at the moment. Could be down to some graphics settings as well.

Quite a good race for me. Had a nice battle with Andreas for most of the race. I had a couple of spins (one when Hristo was about to lap me - I should stop looking in my mirrors when he's behind me!!!). My connection held together and I managed to finish, second was a bit flattering given so many people had PC trouble. Grats to H on the win and David for a hard earned third place. Nice to see Bernie up near the front too.

Billy, I couldn't even make a decent lap in practice. My ambition on the grid was to avoid the 1st lap crash and retreat to the pits as soon as I would be lapped . I didn't see you as an idiot, you were the first element of the excuse I had to present to Mauro Forghieri ! Freeze for me too. Ironically, fps were at 36 . Looking forward to the Ring.

Thanks Billy, nice to be back but this Historic season has been not good so far. Missed the first and screen freeze in this. Lucky for me there is only 8 races that counts.
But it is nice to see some not so common drivers on the podium, and from my perspective it looked quite close at the front to begin with so maybe H will have some things to think about this season.

Seems so. Florian was quicker than me and was pulling away after he took the lead. Art was obviously missing from the race, but he would be a contender, no question. In my defense I have to say the BRM handles quite badly! I thought it's a top car, but I see it's a Group 2 instead of Group 3 car, and it showed. I was struggling for grip under power, and the car had massive understeer in the fast corners where Florian was gaining noticeably, so I had to take massive risks in the twistier bits. Nearly crashed quite a number of times.

I was looking forward to a decent place finish here but was suprised to find the 2.7 Brabby I had pre tuned to the track did not quallify as a 3 ltr car so had a choice of any pukka 3 ltr , took the popular brabbby but no set up , tried the default and found it totally lacking so cobbled up a set up for the race most of which was a blurr , I can only remember my tussle with Dave Curtis which seemed to go on forever, he got the better of me once or twice but we both made small mistakes and see sawed around , close racing at times , eventually with a humungus effort was able to open up a small gap but then lost concentration , relaxed a bit too much and overshot the downhill haipin and into the wheel removing armco . Loved this track but perhaps I'm biased as I have some great memories of the place , both wonderful and terrifying No Disco or FR problems here at all Grats to the Pods and all who finished with there sumps intact
