Season 27 Professionals Trophy - Round 5 – Solitude

65 Pros are in Germany to race at Solitude. Mainly used as a motorcycle circuit, Solitude was used in the early 60’s for a number of Formula 1 & Formula 2 races.
The name is taken from a local castle but it’s a long track so you may get quite lonely if you lose touch with the pack.

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.

Race List = IGOR
Server = UKGPL_8
IP address = TBA
Race date = Tuesday 14-10-2014
Time = 21:00 UK time (21:00 GMT)
Track = Solitude
Race length = 14 laps
Variant = 1965
Damage Model = Pro
Qualifying time = minimum of 30 minutes

Password see above
Replay will be here

Driver lists can be found on the championship standings page
The red zone will be fully moderated for lap 1 only. For this race, the red zone will be until the exit of Frauenkteuz.
Other moderation will be on reported incidents only.

Here I experienced my first F1 race with all our heroes  Shocked
It was a rainy day standing in the muddy forrest above the last corner.
The main reason to go there, was to see our motobike heroes  Surtees and Mike the bike in an F1 car Roll Eyes

WOW! Axel that must have been a great experience for you , Seeing Jimmy win with Surtees 2nd and Bob Anderson (another ex motor bike racer in his privately entered car ) 3rd .

I have met all three when they have been to my local track at Oulton Park and actually had beer and a Pie with Mike the Bike when he drove for F5000 for Surtees a lovely man , sadly only big John is still with us today .

Yeah Bernie, those were great times for us race fans.  Grin
We were regular attending the Hockenheim paddocks and had a friendly talk with our heroes.

One of my biggest regrets ever is, that I refused to climb into a 300SL co-driver's seat for some training laps when I was <10.
But I had just seen some Porsches 550 crashing and rolling over Shocked

And one of mine was never going to the Aintree circuit which was only 10miles from my home town of St Helens , I never even knew the british grand prix was held there in the 60's only knew Aintree for horse racing and the Grand National  Roll Eyes

The sport wasn't advertised much in my youth , it was only when I got my first car that I got to go to race tracks  Undecided

What track car do you have Tim? I've just come back from a bike track weekend at the Monte Blanco circuit in Spain. Loads of fun, but very physical...

Anyway, Solitude. Spent the evening trying to connect, stay connected and then reconnect. When I did get in the connection quality was terrible - all three bars were maxed out and I got chucked out before I'd managed a quarter of the lap.... I suspect that Dropbox, which I have recently had to install for work purposes, might be to blame for my flaky connection, as it seemed to be doing stuff - does that sound feasible gents?

The overly defensive driving seen recently in these series is quite trying.  Lips Sealed

A 1991 Nissan 180SX - fairly standard although I've just fitted a Cusco 2 way mechanical LSD. Feels wonderfully when pushed but bloody awful on public roads as there's simply too much grip available!

As for my race: Argh!
Qualified last on the grid on the.grid on race fuel, made 3 spaces on the first lap and was steadily reeling in Cookie/Jethro coming up to the 8th lap.
Then I ran slightly wide and made friends with the trees - doh!

Had a great race upto that point though and think I've at least managed to score some points this time..

Quali was great with a PR and .1s of the BT11 WR, without tow! Uli and Tristan motivated me a lot, and very happy with that pole.

Start went well (as often only used 1st for start, however took a risk with the engine needing more revs to keep in the powerband) but sadly with Uli close behind I braked too late on cold tires and heavy fuel load. Hard into the hay bales and some suspension damage, and car was a bit looser in left turns and tighter in right turns, so did need to adjust and to adapt. Uli and Tristan went by in the process...

Then got back up to speed and was able to pass Tristan and hunt down Uli. Went side by side but had to give in the lead after the straight. Had a few offs and went loose, and also Tristan bumped me into the hay bales braking too late. That evened out the damage and car was more neutral after that.

Another off meant Tris went by, but after that in the last 5 laps we closed down the gap to Uli from 6s to 2s. Sadly in the last lap I had another off, and had to settle for 3rd in stead of closing in on Tristan and Uli...

Mixed feelings, too many mistakes, also due to damage, but enjoyed the racing and the clean laps. Have to be satisfied with podium and laprecords...

Congrats Uli, another good win and well deserved, and good job Tristan! Wished I wouldn't have made that Lap 1 mistake that compromised my race. Car was a bit unpredictable after that but I gave everything I had! Also well done finishers and commiseration to the retirements...

I think 65 Pro is my favo league Smiley Very competitive and a great field of drivers! Smiley

Congrats uli, Tristan, and Rob!


A 1991 Nissan 180SX


I've got almost the same kind of car. A 1992 240SX coupe. In the US we didn't get the nice turbo engines, CA18DET or SR20DET. I thought about getting a SR20DET or boosting my KA24DE but I didn't want to spend that kind of cash and I knew I'd need even more cash for speeding tickets that would have resulted in needing more cash for higher insurance rates.

This is a PROPER  track. Its got everything. it ranks with Spa & Monza with me.
I'm never a good starter or until the tyres warm but after a good qually losing 4 places off the grid is worse than ever. FMG & Dean passed me getting the tow on the fast downhill section  early on but they weren't too far ahead. On lap 4 I went over the blind brow left kink in section 2 to be greeted by the sight of Dean going end over end on the grass & Ronnie across the track upside down. I almost avoided Ronnie but clipped the nosecone & did several mid air rolls. The screen had the usual snowstorm appearance & I thought that's it I'm out. No it landed on four wheels & facing the right way so I drove on. As at East London the rest of the field had gone by now but  I was up to 8th. Not sure where King Hiro was. After that the car seemed to lack a bit of speed somehow to what I knew it could do on race fuel & I was checking the mirrors for the black smoke thinking the engine would let go. My concentration started to waver & I had 3 spins in those last 10 laps but I brought it home & moved up the field as others had problems.

Well done the podium sounds like it was a close race.
