Season 27 Historic Trophy - Round 1 - BrnoWelcome to the Season 27 Historics Trophy for 1966 model Chassis.
We start in the small Czech town of Brno for round 6 of the Championship - Beware the stiff drinks!
Brno was originally founded as a race circuit in 1930, the original course running counter-clockwise for some 29.1Km (18 miles) through 9 towns/villages. The inaugaral race was won by Lous Chiron in a Bugatti type 51 in 1931.
The circuit maintained this layout until 1937 when War brought racing to a close. In 1949 Brno re-opened - now running clockwise and at a shorter length of 17.2Km (10.7 Miles) passing through only 6 towns/villages this time. In 1964 the circuit was shortened again to 13.9Km (8.6 Miles) by cutting Zebetin from the route. In 1967 Mike Spence entered a BRM P83 in a race here - No other (then) current F1 teams were known to have raced here. In 1975 the circuit was again shortened down to a mere 10.9Km (6.77 Miles) in order to avoid running through Pisarky, Novy Liskovec, and Bohunice, it also removed a large section of the run through Kohoutovice. This layout remained until 1987 when the road course was finally closed in order to move the racing onto the newly purpose built race circuit situated just off the original course, between Ostrvacice and Zebetin were the races continue to this day.
We are using the long and somewhat tortuous Brno '49 layout. With the Pro settings, the victor might just be the driver who survives furthest.
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.
The race will be run under PRO rules so no resets are allowed.
For THIS RACE, 2 liter cars must be selected
For the first three rounds at least, there will be no restrictions.
