Season 25 Novices and Intermediates Trophy - Round 5 - SpaWelcome to the fifth round in the 65's class of UKGPL for the continuation of our twenty fifth season. Spa. THE classic Belgian track. Frightening in real life we don't have to contend with some of the brutal realities. In GPL Spa is all about trying to find a tow or it can be a lonely night. One of the longer tracks you are looking at sub 3.40 for a quick lap (not that I would know...).
The original triangular shaped course, which was designed in 1920 by Jules de Their and Henri Langlois Van Ophem, used public roads between the towns of Spa, Malmedy and Stavelot. The course was extremly fast and was made even faster in 1939 with the introduction of the famous Eau Rouge section. The circuit was completely revised and shortened for the 1981 Belgian Grand Prix but it is the faster 8.761 mile version of the track that we will use for this race.
The 8.761 mile version of the circuit was used between 1946 and 1970 and whilst corners like Eau Rouge, Burnenville and particularly Masta; presented the drivers with exceptional challenges - the circuit was very dangerous and claimed the lives of many drivers.
NB. There is ONE grid for both the Novices and the IntermediatesThe Novices and Intermediate Trophies will remain sharing a grid until further notice.
As before, handicapping the top three drivers makes little sense, especially at this track. I am working on amalgamating the championships and if that can be carried through handicapping may be introduced. So, until further notice, all drivers have a FREE choice of car.
Hopefully there turn outs will continue to improve.

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 restrict chat to pit messages including at the end of the race until ALL drivers still racing have crossed the line.Intermediate drivers are limited to ONE reset. Novices have unlimited resets but EACH Shift-R MUST be followed within TWO laps by a Stop 'n' Go.
Moderating The red zone will be fully moderated for lap 1 only. For this event the red zone will be
from the start to the Masta kink. Other moderation will be on reported incidents only. However any incidents that occur in the red zone that are not reported by the drivers
will be reported by the moderator. This will allow all affected drivers the opportunity to present their case
before the incident is moderated. This should ensure there are no surprises when the moderator's report is published and hence appeals will be less likely. If you haven't received a PM about an incident before the link below the results table is removed, you can be sure that you will not appear in the moderator's report.
