By popular  demand Santa v the Elves is back. Santa has challenged the Chief Elf to a team event – the nearest they can get to the North Pole is Keimola in Finland. Santa & the Elves have been extra busy this year & haven’t had time to tune up their racing cars for the usual pre-season race but they will be ready for action by early January.

The supporting cast (drivers) are asked to assemble in the UKGPL chat Room in IGOR. Chief Elf (Billy Nobrakes) & Santa (whose identity will be revealed on the night) will take turns to pick teams from those present. Everyone gets to race – if there are more than 20 drivers then we will open a 2nd grid. If that is the case listen carefully for instructions. The password will be announced in chat.
Elves get to race the green machines – Lotus 33 or Brabham BT11, Santa’s get a choice of the red sleigh (Ferrari) or the rednose reindeer = BRM.

Points will be scored in accordance with usual GPL scoring. At the end of the race / races all points will be added & victory goes to the highest scoring team. There are unlimited Resets available. Each reset must be followed by a Stop & Go within two laps & it will cost the team 3 points. Failure to SnG will result in a Disqualification.

Race List = IGOR
Server = UKGPL3 + UKGPL8 if required.
Race date = Sunday 05-01-2014
Time = 21:00 UK time (21:00 GMT) – Assemble in Chatroom
Track = Keimola
Race length = 28 Laps
Variant = 1965
Damage Model = Intermediate
Qualifying time =20 minutes
Password = will be announced on the night.

For the Elves, Ronnie and Bill took a Shift-R and for the Santas Arf^3 took a Shift-R at the cost of three points each

Final result:
Santas: 170 less 3 = 167
Elves: 180 less 6 = 174

NEARLY A DRAW Tempted as I am to penalise the Chief Elf 7 points for biffing the Chief Mod....we have to say well done the Elves....

When I joined UKGPL, Gareth told me in #ukgpl about this race. Like to join this race as well, will be my first acquaintance with the 65 mod. Will do laps in all 4 mentioned cars in order to be a bit prepared. Wink

Ah, cheers for explaining, thought Santa and the highborne Chief Elf would pick their followers in order to race for their team  Grin

Well, ran a few laps this afternoon, the Lotus has been eliminated by mindbreaker sound after a few hundreds of meters (I suppose there are other user friendly sounds, but this Lotus did remind me of my ex-wife), the Brabham was old fashioned good overall, the Ferrari had no torque in low revs had a 67 setup and I did only untilize 3 gears...have done a few laps in the BRM, but
Choice for me will be Brabham or Ferrari...already have the hang of he 65mod (I think should be fun racing), really forgiving car handling, with predictable oversteer just what I like...only bogging down in certain gears seems to be an issue so far, guess I have to use 2nd gear for the slower turns...

The cars seem to be on superglue in this mod, however I will not underestimate the hardship to get it running respectably fast. Seems to me like F2 is in between 67 and 65. Haven't tried 66 yet. Also yet have to xp the draft-effect.

Happy and a prosperous 2014 to all!

From the couple of similar events I've attended, sides will probably be picked on the night;  depending on who has managed to make it to the pre-event chatroom.

Yeah - happy 2014 all!

Cheers,
Dave.

Just to clarify,
The teams will be picked on the night - so nobody knows whether they will drive as an Elf or a Santa. (apart from Chief Elf). It is so mysterious even Santa doesn't know who he is yet.

Elves can pick from the Brabham or Lotus - Santas can chose the Ferrari or BRM. That is a free choice for each driver. it is recommended that you set up two cars ready for action. In the event of 20 + drivers there will be two grids. Chief Elf will sort that out on Sunday. The Passwords will be announced in chat - so please pay attention.

Not sure if it's this track but had 3 or 4 crashes in GPL in different sessions, T, P and R. Screen went black and GPL crashes back to desktop. Very fun track with a nice rhythm though.

We have used this several times in the past without difficulties - it should be safe to race.
One minor issue - which won't concern me personally - but I seem to remember that the flag man can't be seen by the pole sitter. Whoever happens to be on pole should look right (or maybe left?).

Second reminder - if you have to take a SnG please familiarise yourself with the pit entry - its about nowhere near the start / finish.

Could be just on my end, I have a suspicion my HDD is dying, which is not good. Or loose cabling or faulty cables/connections. Need to build that new system soon, but I digress.

Thanks for the pointers. Noticed-or better didn't notice- the flagman and have yet to find out where pit entry is Grin

Joined a practice race and had big fun in the Lotus. No doubt I'll be forced to be a Santa now...

Hint for the pit entry - exit of T1, stay left and don't follow the normal line.

Or there's that section on the S/F straight on the right-hand side Billy?
